Item 1.01 |
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
ScanTech AI Systems Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a
Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with 340 Broadway Holdings, LLC (the “Lender”)
effective as of July 3, 2025. Pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company issued a senior secured promissory
note (the “Note”) to the Lender with a total principal amount of up to $1,500,000 and 2,095,531 shares (the “Origination
Shares”) of the Company’s common stock to the Lender. The Note bears interest at an annual rate of 15% and matures on July
3, 2026 (the “Maturity Date”).
Pursuant to the Note, the Lender was obligated to fund $250,000 at
the initial closing, is obligated to fund an additional $250,000 of the Note upon the filing of the Company’s Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2025, and may fund the remaining $1,000,000 of the Principal Amount (as defined in
the Note) in one or more closings at the sole discretion of the Lender on or before the Maturity Date. The initial closing of the Note
occurred on July 7, 2025, upon which the Lender delivered $250,000 by wire transfer. The net proceeds to the Company from the initial
closing were $240,000. The Company expects to use the net proceeds from the Note for general corporate purposes.
The Lender has the right, but not the obligation, to convert, at any
time prior to the Maturity Date, all or any portion of the outstanding Principal Amount, accrued interest and fees due and payable thereon
into shares (the “Conversion Shares”) of the Company’s common stock. The conversion price for the Conversion Shares
is equal to 80% of the average of the three lowest Trading Prices for the Company’s common stock during the five Trading Day period
preceding the conversion date inclusive of the day of the conversion date. “Trading Price” means the price at which a trade
of the Company’s common stock is reported by a reliable reporting service designated by the Lender. Notwithstanding the above, the
Conversion Shares shall not be converted at a price less than $0.2051 per share (the “Minimum Conversion Price”).
The Lender is prohibited from converting an amount that would be convertible
into that number of Conversion Shares which would exceed the difference between the number of shares of the Company’s common stock
beneficially owned by the Lender and 4.99% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock. The Lender may waive such 4.99%
limitation upon, at the election of the Lender, not less than seven day’s prior notice to the Company.
Moreover, the Securities Purchase Agreement provides that in no event
will the Company be required to (i) issue shares of Company’s common stock (or securities convertible into or exercisable for the
Company’s common stock), including but not limited to the Conversion Shares and Origination Shares, exceeding 19.99% of the Company’s
common stock or exceeding 19.99% of the voting power outstanding either as of the date of the Securities Purchase Agreement or the date
immediately preceding the date of the Securities Purchase Agreement, as determined in accordance with the relevant stock exchange rules
(the “Conversion Cap”), and (ii) otherwise issue shares of the Company’s common stock or other securities which issuance
would violate any rule of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) or the relevant stock exchange or trading market
on which the Company’s common stock is then listed or quoted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, should the Lender wish to exceed the
Conversion Cap, the Company is obligated, within 30 days of receiving such conversion request to exceed the Conversion Cap, file a proxy
statement seeking stockholder approval authorizing the Company to issue shares exceeding the Conversion Cap in compliance with Nasdaq
Stock Market Rule 5635 either (A) within the proxy statement on Schedule 14A for the Company’s next annual meeting of stockholders,
or (B) within a proxy statement on Schedule 14A for a special meeting of stockholders.
Pursuant to the Note, the Company is obligated to register the Origination
Shares plus an additional number of shares equal to 200% of the number of shares into which $500,000 of the Principal Amount of the Note
can be converted as if converted on the closing date, by an amendment to the Company’s existing Registration Statement on Form S-1
(SEC File No. 333-284806) (the “Existing Registration Statement”). The Company is also obligated to register the Conversion
Shares on a new registration statement within the later of (i) 30 calendar days following the issuance of the Note, or (ii) 7 calendar
days following the date the SEC declares the Existing Registration Statement effective.
The Securities Purchase Agreement contains
customary representations and warranties. The Note contains a most favored nations status provision, a prohibition on certain
financing transactions by the Company without the prior written consent of the Lender, a prohibition on certain variable rate
transactions, and certain mandatory prepayment provisions of the aggregate Principal Amount of the Note not converted to common
stock at 150% of the Principal Amount thereof plus accrued interest to such date of repayment. The Note provides that it shall be
considered senior secured by the collateral pool of the Company and that the Lender shall become a party to the Intercreditor
Agreement dated September 23, 2024 by execution of a joinder. If an Event of Default (as defined in the Note) were to occur, which
term includes, among other things, certain filings being filed untimely with the SEC and if the trading price of the Company’s
common stock decreases by more than 50% at any time within 30 days of the date of the Note, then, among other consequences, default
interest accrues at the rate of 18% per annum and the Lender may, at its option, elect to require the Company to make a default
payment of 115% of the outstanding Principal Amount of the Note, plus accrued but unpaid interest, at the default interest rate, all
other fees then remaining unpaid, and all other amounts payable under the Note. The Note also contains certain negative covenants of
the Company, including restrictions on debt, a prohibition on entering into any agreement with any holder of the Company’s
securities without the prior written consent of the Lender, and a prohibition on authorizing or approving any reverse stock split of
the Company’s common stock.
The Lender previously lent money to the Company in January 2025.
The foregoing descriptions of the Securities Purchase Agreement and
the Note, and of all of the parties’ rights and obligations under the Securities Purchase Agreement and the Note, are qualified
in their entirety by reference to the Securities Purchase Agreement and the Note, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2,
respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and which are incorporated herein by reference.
Item 2.03. |
Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation Under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant. |
The information set forth under Item 1.01 above and Item 3.02 below
is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.03.
Item 3.02. |
Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities. |
The information set forth under Item 1.01 above is incorporated by
reference into this Item 3.02. The Company issued the Origination Shares in reliance on the exemption from the registration requirements
of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), provided by Section 4(a)(2) because the Origination Shares
were issued in a transaction not involving any public offering and the Lender represented that it was an “accredited investor”
as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D.
To the extent that any shares of the Company’s common stock are
issued upon conversion of the Note, the Company expects that such Conversion Shares will be issued in reliance on the exemption from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act provided by Section 3(a)(9) because no commission or other remuneration is expected to
be paid in connection with the conversion of the Note and any resulting issuance of Convertible Shares and/or in reliance on the exemption
from the registration requirements of the Securities Act provided by Section 4(a)(2) because any Conversion Shares will be issued in a
transaction not involving any public offering and the Lender represented that it was an “accredited investor” as that term
is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D. A maximum of approximately 8,410,532 Conversion Shares may be issued upon conversion of the
Note based on the Minimum Conversion Price of $0.2051 per share and assuming conversion of a maximum Principal Amount of $1,500,000 and
all accrued interest, and assuming that any stockholder approval that is required is obtained; however, the actual number of
Conversion Shares issued could be higher if, for example, any additional Principal Amount, interest, or fees as the result of any Event
of Default are converted into shares of common stock.
