Item 8.01 | Other Events |
As disclosed in MultiSensor AI Holdings, Inc.’s (the “Company”) Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on December 21, 2023, the Company previously received a letter from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that the Company had not complied with all of the requirements of Nasdaq Rule IM-5101-2 since it had not demonstrated compliance with the requirement to have a minimum of 1.1 million “unrestricted publicly held shares” and a minimum of 400 “round lot holders,” as required by the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5405(a) initial listing on Nasdaq. On December 27, 2023, the Company submitted a hearing request to the Nasdaq Hearing Panel (the “Panel”) to appeal the delisting determination and received a letter from Nasdaq stating that its delisting action had been stayed, pending a final decision by the Panel and that a hearing will be held on March 21, 2024. The Company attended the March 21, 2024 hearing before the Panel, during which the Company requested time to cure any listing deficiencies. As part of its plan of compliance presented to the panel, the Company presented a number of actions that it planned to take in order to increase its stockholders’ equity in order to comply with Nasdaq’s initial and continued listing requirements.
Recently, following the close of the Company’s fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 and the filing of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, the Company has undertaken a number of actions, more fully disclosed below, which have increased its shareholders’ equity, including: (i) the conversion of certain convertible promissory notes (the “Notes”), with an aggregate principal amount of $4.475 million into shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 (the “Common Stock”); and (ii) the conversion of certain loan obligations with an aggregate principal amount of $200,000 into shares of the Company’s common stock.
Note Conversion Inducement and Notice of Conversion
On March 27, 2024 and March 28, 2024, the Company entered into certain letter agreements (“Inducement Letters”) to induce certain holders of the Notes with an aggregate principal balance of $3.275 million to elect to convert their Notes into shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a price of $10 per share pursuant to the terms of the Notes. Pursuant to the letter agreement, the Company agreed to issue an additional share of Common Stock (each an “Inducement Share”) for each share of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to the converted principal balance of the Notes. Pursuant to the terms of the Notes and the Inducement Letters, the Company issued 327,500 shares of Common Stock related to the principal balance of the Notes, 327,500 Inducement Shares, and 8,318 shares of Common Stock related to accrued interest on the Notes, for an aggregate of 663,318 shares of Common Stock. The effective date of the Inducement Agreements is March 31, 2024.
Such description is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Form of Inducement Agreement, which is included as Exhibit 10.1 to this Report and is incorporated herein by reference.
Amendment of Convertible Promissory Notes
Effective March 31, 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the modification of the terms of the remaining $3.53 million in principal amount of the convertible promissory notes that were not the subject of the Inducement Agreements described above (the “Remaining Notes”), among other things, to reduce the conversion price of the principal and interest to $5.00 per share of Common Stock. Two of those Remaining Notes (which hereafter are referred to as the “Related Party Notes”) are owned by David Gow, a director of the Company, and the Jill A Blashack Strahan Trust, which is deemed to be beneficially owned by Gary Strahan, Chief Executive Officer and a director of the Company. The aggregate principal balance of such Related Party Notes was $1.2 million. As an incentive to induce the holders of the Remaining Notes to convert such notes, and with the objective of meeting Nasdaq’s listing requirements specific to stockholders’ equity, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the reduction of the conversion price of the principal and interest to $5.00 per share of Common Stock and entered into Note Amendments with David Gow and the Jill A Blashack Strahan Trust. (the “Note Amendments”). Thereafter David Gow and the Jill A Blashack Strahan Trust elected to convert the Remaining Notes into shares of Common Stock effective as of March 31, 2024. The Company issued 243,048 shares of Common Stock pursuant to David Gow’s the Jill A Blashack Strahan Trust’s respective elections to convert their Remaining Notes. The Note Amendments were approved by the Audit Committee of the Company and the Board of Directors of the Company, and contain prohibitions against the direct or indirect transfer, pledge, sale or other disposal of the shares of Common Stock issued as a result of the conversion for a period of six months. The Company has received a consent from a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Company approving the Note Amendments. Such shareholder consent will become effective at the time prescribed by Schedule 14C under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”) subsequent to its distribution to shareholders in accordance with the requirements of Schedule 14C.
The amendments described above were structured to comply with the provisions of Rule 16b-3(d) promulgated under the 1934 Acts o as to exempt the transactions from Section 16(b) under the 1934 Act.
Such description is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Form of Note Amendment, which is included as Exhibit 10.2 to this Report and is incorporated herein by reference.
Conversion of Loan Obligation
As previously disclosed, the Company previously issued a $200,000 promissory note (the “Loan”) to David Gow, a director of the Company, in exchange for a $200,000 loan from David Gow to the Company. The Loan was non-interest bearing. On March 30, 2024, the Company entered into a subscription agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”) whereby the Company agreed to issued 60,060 shares of Common Stock to David Gow in exchange for the cancellation of such Loan obligation (at an effective price per share of $3.33. The Subscription Agreement was approved by the Audit Committee of the Company and the Board of Directors of the Company, and contains prohibitions against the direct or indirect transfer, pledge, sale or other disposal of the shares of Common Stock issued as a result of the conversion for a period of six months. The Company has received a consent from a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Company approving the Subscription Agreement. Such shareholder consent will become effective at the time prescribed by Schedule 14C under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”) subsequent to its distribution to shareholders in accordance with the requirements of Schedule 14C.
The Subscription Agreement described above was structured to comply with the provisions of Rule 16b-3(d) promulgated under 1934 Act so as to exempt the transaction from Section 16(b) under the 1934 Act.
Such description is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Subscription Agreement, which is included as Exhibit 10.3 to this Report and is incorporated herein by reference.
After considering the transactions described above, the Company’s stockholders’ equity as of December 31, 2023, as adjusted on a pro forma basis for the transactions described above, was approximately $4.407 million, as reported in Exhibit 99.1 to this Report, which is incorporated herein by reference.

This letter agreement has been duly executed by the Company and, when delivered in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute the valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except (i) as limited by general equitable principles and applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies and (iii) insofar as indemnification and contribution provisions may be limited by applicable law.

Election of the Holder
The Holder hereby elects to convert all of the principal and accrued interest under the Note into shares of Common Stock (the “Conversion Shares”) of the Company according to the conditions hereof and as of the date first written above. If Common Stock is to be issued in the name of a person other than the undersigned, the undersigned will pay all transfer taxes payable with respect thereto and is delivering herewith such certificates and opinions as reasonably requested by the Company in accordance therewith.

The Holder agrees to comply with the prospectus delivery requirements under the applicable securities laws in connection with any transfer of the aforesaid Common Stock.
Background and Risk Disclosure Regarding the Listing Status of the Company’s Securities
Our Nasdaq listing application was not approved prior to the closing of the Business Combination with SportsMap Tech Acquisition Corp. in December 2023, and the Company received written notice from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC indicating that we had not complied with all of the requirements of the Nasdaq Rule IM51012 since it had not demonstrated compliance with the requirement to have a minimum of 1.1 million “unrestricted publicly held shares” and a minimum of 400 “round lot holders” as required by the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5405(a) for initial listing on the Nasdaq Global Market. In January 2024, the Company received a separate notice from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC indicating that it was not in compliance with the requirement to maintain a minimum market value of listed securities of $50 million. These notices did not immediately impact the listing of our Common Stock or warrants on the Nasdaq Global Market. However, Nasdaq commenced delisting procedures for our securities, subject to an opportunity for us to cure the deficiency or enact a remediation plan. On March 24, 2024 we attended a hearing before a Nasdaq Hearing Panel during which we presented a plan of compliance and we requested an exception through May 15, 2024 to evidence compliance with all applicable requirements for initial and continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market. There can be no assurance that our request will be granted; or if granted, that we will be successful in evidencing compliance with the listing standards by May 15, 2024. Moreover, if the requested relief is not granted our securities could be immediately delisted. If our securities fail to remain listed on Nasdaq or any other national exchange, the trading market for our securities will be adversely affected, which may impact the trading price of our securities and the liquidity of the market for such securities.

Nothing contained in this letter agreement, and no action taken by the Holder pursuant hereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Holder and the Other Holders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Holder and the Other Holders are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this letter agreement and the Company acknowledges that the Holder and the Other Holders are not acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this letter agreement or any Other Notes. The Company and the Holder confirm that the Holder has independently participated in the negotiation of the transactions contemplated hereby with the advice of its own counsel and advisors. The Holder shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this letter agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any Other Holder to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.
If this offer is accepted and this letter agreement is executed by the Company and the Holder, the Company may (i) issue a press release disclosing the material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby or (ii) file a Current Report on Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission disclosing all material terms of the transactions contemplated hereunder, including this letter agreement as an exhibit thereto with the Commission within the time required by the Exchange Act.
