Key Events
-
Debt-to-Equity Exchange Agreement
The company entered a definitive Exchange Agreement with Streeterville Capital, LLC to convert up to $4.5 million of senior secured debt into Series A Preferred Stock and Common Stock. This is contingent on the company raising at least $2.6 million in a first equity financing tranche by June 15, 2026, and an additional $1.9 million for a second tranche.
-
New Convertible Promissory Note
Vivos Therapeutics secured an unsecured convertible promissory note for up to $5 million from V-Co Investors 4 LLC, an existing investor affiliate. An initial $500,000 has been funded, with the note intended to provide bridge funding for a proposed $5.5 million equity financing expected by June 30, 2026.
-
Second Nasdaq Delisting Notice
The company received a new notice from Nasdaq on June 5, 2026, for non-compliance with the $1.00 minimum bid price rule. Vivos has until December 2, 2026, to regain compliance, adding to its existing non-compliance with the minimum stockholders' equity requirement.
-
Debt Service Relief and Preferred Stock Terms
The Streeterville agreement includes an extension of the remaining debt's maturity date, a suspension of monthly principal repayments until September 15, 2026, and a reduction in future monthly redemption requests. The Series A Preferred Stock is non-convertible, non-voting (except in limited cases), non-transferable, carries a 9% annual dividend, and has liquidation preference over common stock.
Analysis
Vivos Therapeutics is facing severe financial distress, evidenced by a 'going concern' warning and two active Nasdaq non-compliance notices. This filing details critical, albeit costly, measures to address these issues. The debt-to-equity conversion and new convertible note are essential for improving the balance sheet and providing liquidity, but they come with significant dilution and restrictive terms. The company's ability to complete the contingent equity financings by the June 15th and June 30th deadlines will be crucial for its immediate survival and continued Nasdaq listing.
