CleanCore Solutions reshuffles debt with executive notes

CleanCore Solutions, Inc. (NYSE American: ZONE), a specialty cleaning company with a market capitalization of $8.87 million, has entered into a financial arrangement involving the company’s top executives, according to a recent SEC filing.

InvestingPro analysis reveals the company maintains impressive gross profit margins of 49%, though it faces some financial challenges with 13 key insights available to subscribers. On January 27, 2025, Clayton Adams, CleanCore’s CEO, sold a portion of a promissory note to President Travis Buchanan, resulting in new debt instruments within the company.

The original promissory note, issued on December 24, 2024, with a principal amount of $415,241.25 and a 20% original issue discount, was partially assigned from Adams to Buchanan. Buchanan purchased $125,000 of the note for $100,000. Subsequently, CleanCore issued two new original issue discount promissory notes: one to Buchanan for $125,000 and another to Adams for the remaining $290,241.25.

These new notes, collectively known as the New OID Notes, are due on June 30, 2025, and carry an 8% annual interest rate, which could increase to 15% in an event of default. They can be prepaid at any time without penalty, are unsecured, and include standard default provisions for this type of loan.

The transaction was formalized in a note sale assignment and cancellation agreement, which outlines the terms of the sale and assignment of the original note’s portion and the issuance of the New OID Notes. According to InvestingPro data, the company operates with a moderate level of debt and maintains a current ratio of 1.62, indicating sufficient liquidity to meet short-term obligations.
