Tonix Pharmaceuticals stock halted ahead of FDA approval news
Datavault AI Inc. (NASDAQ:DVLT), a technology company with a market capitalization of $40.25 million and currently trading below its InvestingPro Fair Value, announced Monday it has completed the initial closing of a $6 million financing through the sale of senior secured convertible notes to institutional investors. The financing comes at a crucial time, as InvestingPro data shows the company has been quickly burning through cash, with a weak financial health score of 0.81. The company also entered into agreements to amend the terms of prior convertible notes and facilitate warrant exchanges for common stock, according to a statement based on a recent SEC filing.
On August 6, Datavault AI closed the first tranche of its previously disclosed financing, issuing senior secured convertible notes with a principal amount of $6,666,666 for a purchase price of $6 million. An additional $6 million in notes may be issued in a subsequent closing, subject to certain conditions.
The notes mature in 18 months and carry a 10% original issue discount. No interest accrues unless there is an event of default, in which case a 12% annual rate applies. This financing structure is particularly significant given the company’s current ratio of 0.65, indicating its short-term obligations exceed its liquid assets. The notes are convertible into common stock at an initial price of $1.00 per share following shareholder approval, or at an alternate price equal to the greater of $0.1019 per share or 80% of the lowest volume weighted average price over the 20 trading days prior to conversion. The obligations under the notes are senior to other company debt and equity and are secured by all company assets. A subsidiary has also guaranteed the notes.
As part of the financing, Datavault AI entered into exchange agreements with certain warrant holders, who agreed to exchange warrants exercisable for approximately 31 million shares of common stock for the same number of shares, pending shareholder approval. The company also agreed to restrictions on issuing additional shares or convertible securities for 45 days following each closing and to allow noteholders to participate in future financings up to 65% for 18 months after the notes are repaid.
Additionally, the company amended the conversion terms on convertible notes issued in April and May 2025, changing the alternate conversion price formula to 80% of the lowest 20-day VWAP, from 90% of the lowest 10-day VWAP.
Maxim Group LLC acted as placement agent for the offering, receiving an 8% fee and $15,000 in expenses.
This summary is based on a statement included in Datavault AI’s recent SEC filing.
