Excel Revolving Line of Credit

Effective as of December 14, 2023, Loop® entered into a Revolving Line of Credit Loan Agreement with Excel Family Partners, LLLP (“Excel”), an entity managed by Bruce Cassidy, Sr., Chairman of our Board of Directors (the “Line of Credit Agreement”) for up to a principal sum of $2,500,000, under which Loop® may pay down and re-borrow up to the maximum amount of $2,500,000 (the “Line of Credit”). Our drawdown on the Line of Credit is limited to no more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the last three full months’ revenue, not to exceed $1,250,000 in any quarter, and not to exceed in aggregate the outstanding debt amount of $2,500,000. The Line of Credit Agreement has a maturity date twelve (12) months from the date of formal notice of termination by Excel, and accrues interest, payable semi-annually in arrears, at a fixed rate of interest equal to ten percent (10%) per year. Under the Line of Credit Agreement, we granted Excel a pari passu senior security interest.

Under the terms of the Line of Credit Agreement, on December 14, 2023, we issued to Excel a warrant to purchase up to an aggregate of 3,125,000 Shares. Each warrant has an exercise price of $0.80 per share (at the market under NYSE rules) that expires on December 14, 2026, and is exercisable at any time prior to such date, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, Excel and its affiliates would beneficially own no more than 29.99% of the outstanding Shares.

The Note Conversion Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, agreements and obligations of the parties.

Repricing and Exercise of Certain Existing Warrants

On December 14, 2023, Loop® agreed to offer to amend certain existing warrants exercisable for an aggregate of up to 4,055,240 Shares (each such warrant an “Existing Warrant”) to reduce the respective exercise prices thereof to $0.80 per share (at the market under NYSE rules) (such new price being referred to as the “Amended Exercise Price”), on the condition that the holder of an Existing Warrant commit to exercise such Existing Warrant.
