Interactive Strength Inc. settles debt with equity issuance

Interactive Strength Inc. (NASDAQ:TRNR), a manufacturer of electronic equipment with a market capitalization of $1.51 million, has entered into a Settlement Agreement with its lender, Vertical Investors, LLC, as disclosed in a recent SEC filing. On Monday, the company completed the settlement by issuing 1,188,571 shares of its Series C Preferred Stock to address a shortfall in the Net Trade Value from the lender’s previous equity conversions. According to InvestingPro analysis, the company’s financial health score currently stands at 1.54, indicating significant challenges ahead.

The agreement stems from a series of financial transactions that began on February 1, 2024, when Interactive Strength Inc. received a term loan of approximately $8 million. Later, on March 29, 2024, $3 million of this loan was converted into 1,500,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock. Subsequent adjustments on April 24, 2024, included a Loan Modification Agreement reducing the principal by $3 million and a Loan Restoration Agreement outlining conditions for compensating the lender if the sales of equity did not meet the $3 million threshold. The company’s current ratio of 0.31 suggests significant liquidity constraints, with short-term obligations exceeding liquid assets.

Between February 12, 2025, and March 31, 2025, the lender converted shares of Series C Preferred Stock into 1,723,846 shares of common stock. However, by March 31, 2025, the sales of these equity securities resulted in a Net Trade Value of only $2,377,141.75, prompting the Settlement Agreement.

The issuance of the Series C Preferred Shares to Vertical Investors, LLC as part of the settlement was exempt from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. This transaction increased the lender’s holdings to 1,464,960 shares of Series C Preferred Stock.

This strategic move by Interactive Strength Inc. aims to manage its debt obligations through equity, a common practice among companies seeking to optimize their capital structure. With revenue of $5.38 million and a concerning gross profit margin of -51.64%, the company faces significant operational challenges. The details of the Settlement Agreement were outlined in Exhibit 10.1 of the SEC filing.
