Dolphin Entertainment amends notes and issues $800,000 in convertible debt

Dolphin Entertainment, Inc. (NASDAQ:DLPN), a small-cap entertainment company with a market capitalization of $14.2 million, announced Friday that it amended the terms of previously issued promissory notes and entered into new convertible debt agreements, according to a statement based on its recent SEC filing. InvestingPro analysis indicates the stock is currently trading below its Fair Value, despite carrying a significant debt burden.

On August 26, the company and an existing investor agreed to amend two promissory notes originally issued in October and December 2022, each with a principal amount of $500,000. The amendments extend the maturity date of the notes to August 26, 2030, and fix the conversion price at $1.07 per share. The holder may convert the $1 million outstanding principal plus accrued interest into shares of common stock at this price, which reflects the average closing price for the five trading days immediately preceding August 26. This debt restructuring comes as the company operates with a debt-to-equity ratio of 3.63 and a current ratio of 0.76, indicating potential liquidity challenges.

Between August 21 and August 26, Dolphin Entertainment also entered into five new subscription agreements with investors for convertible promissory notes totaling $800,000 in principal. The notes carry a 10% annual interest rate and mature five years from their respective issuance dates. Noteholders may convert the principal and any accrued interest into common stock at any time before maturity. The conversion price for two $100,000 notes is set at $1.04 per share, corresponding to the closing price on their issuance dates, while the remaining three notes—two at $100,000 and one at $400,000—have a conversion price of $1.07 per share, based on the average closing price for the five trading days before issuance.

The company stated that the issuance and sale of these notes, as well as any shares issued upon conversion, rely on an exemption from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

This information is based on a press release statement and the company’s filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
