Fed’s Powell opens door to potential rate cuts at Jackson Hole
QT Imaging Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:QTI) announced Monday that it has entered into an Omnibus Amendment with investor YA II PN, Ltd. to modify the terms of its existing financial agreements, which were initially established in November 2023 and March 2024.
This amendment comes after the occurrence of a Trigger Event on September 11, 2024, which led the company to fulfill a payment obligation of approximately $1.5 million to the investor on September 13, 2024.
The Omnibus Amendment, dated September 26, 2024, extends the Maturity Date of the Investor Note by six months from June 4, 2025, to December 15, 2025. The company will not be required to make further monthly payments until January 15, 2025. Starting from this date, QT Imaging will make monthly payments of $500,000 plus additional fees and accrued interest until November 15, 2025.
Additionally, the amendment stipulates that QT Imaging will retain no proceeds from the sale of the remaining 400,000 company shares held by YA II PN, Ltd., which were initially issued to the investor on March 4, 2024. The company has also agreed to release the investor from any claims up to the date of the Omnibus Amendment.
In the event of a delisting from the Nasdaq Stock Market, the amendment provides that the investor will not consider it an Event of Default, provided that QT Imaging relists its common stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market promptly and ensures a listing on the OTCQX market tier within 30 days of delisting.
Furthermore, the amendment introduces an additional Event of Default condition, which will be triggered automatically if any creditor, other than YA II PN, Ltd., takes steps indicating an intention to foreclose on the company's assets due to failure to meet obligations.
This strategic move aims to provide QT Imaging with financial flexibility and stability, ensuring the company can continue its operations without the immediate pressure of large repayments.

The agreement is set to continue until December 31, 2025, and is indicative of QT Imaging's strategy to enhance its distribution capabilities and market reach.
