• Restrictive Covenants Imposed

  The preferred stock includes covenants that severely limit the company's ability to issue new securities, pledge assets, dispose of material assets, undertake reverse stock splits (except for Nasdaq compliance), or engage in fundamental transactions without the consent of preferred holders.

• No New Capital Raised

  The company did not receive any new cash proceeds from this transaction; it was an exchange of existing debt.

Algorhythm Holdings converted $3.5 million of existing debt owed to Streeterville Capital into a new Series A Preferred Stock with a stated value of $4.025 million. This preferred stock ranks senior to common shares, accrues a 9% daily compounding return (rising to 15% on default), and includes highly restrictive covenants. These covenants severely limit the company's ability to issue new securities, pledge assets, dispose of material assets, undertake reverse stock splits (unless for Nasdaq compliance), or engage in fundamental transactions without the preferred holders' consent. This move, while addressing a portion of debt, significantly compromises the company's financial and operational flexibility and dilutes common shareholder rights, especially given the company's ongoing financial distress and delisting concerns.
