Notes Payable

4. Notes Payable

On March 10, 2022, Intrusion Inc. entered into a security purchase agreement (the “SPA”) with Streeterville Capital, LLC (“Streeterville”) whereby the Company issued two separate promissory notes of $5.4 million each, with an initial interest rate of 7%, subject to some increases in the case of among other things, an event of default. On March 10, 2022, the Company received $4.6 million in net funds from the first tranche (Note 1) pursuant to a promissory note executed contemporaneously with the execution of the loan agreement. On June 29, 2022, the Company received an additional $4.7 million in net funds from the second tranche (Note 2) pursuant to a promissory note. Each note had an 18-month maturity, may be prepaid subject to varying prepayment premiums, and may be redeemed at any time after six months into the term of such note in amounts up to $0.5 million per calendar month upon the noteholder’s election. On January 11, 2023, the Company amended the promissory notes issued pursuant to the unsecured loan agreement with Streeterville whereby the noteholder agreed to waive their redemption rights through March 31, 2023, in exchange for a fee equal to 3.75% of the outstanding principal balance which increased the outstanding indebtedness due at maturity with Streeterville and increased the associated debt issuance costs recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets by $0.4 million. On August 2, 2023, the Company entered into a Forbearance Agreement with Streeterville which was subsequently amended on August 7, 2023. The Forbearance Agreement and amendment extend the maturity dates for each Note by 12 months. In addition, Streeterville agreed to waive their right to redeem any portion of either Note for 180 days from the date on which the Company closes on a fully marketed public offering for aggregate proceeds, net of fees, of not less than $5,000,000, so long as the Qualified IPO occurs on or before October 1, 2023 (the “Standstill”). If a Qualified IPO does not occur by October 1, 2023, the Standstill shall not take effect. Upon the expiration of the Standstill, redemption obligations under the notes would resume, in addition to weekly cash payments to Streeterville in the amount of $50,000 due in the aggregate under the notes via ACH withdrawal. In consideration of the standstill and the extension of the maturity dates, the Company entered into a Security Agreement with Streeterville, dated August 2, 2023 (the “Security Agreement”), under which Streeterville was granted a first-position security interest in all assets of the Company.

During the three and six months ended and after June 30, 2023, no redemptions have been made to date. The Company has the option, in its sole discretion, to satisfy any redemption demands in cash or shares of its common stock that will be issued in an amount equal to the dollar amount of the redemption demand divided by the number that represents 85% of the average of the two lowest daily volume weighted average prices of common stock over a fifteen-day trailing period. This option to settle in shares at a 15% discount is deemed a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”). Any remaining indebtedness at maturity is payable in cash.

The loan agreement and accompanying notes are subject to standard and customary events of default, including, without limitation, the Company’s continued listing on the Nasdaq or New York Stock Exchange. While the notes remain outstanding, the Company will be subject to certain conditions and restrictions, including, without limitation the following: the noteholder’s right to consent to any future variable rate transactions (excluding at-the market “ATMs”, equity offerings, or private placements without market adjustable features) and any debt (excluding bank loans, lines of credit, mortgagees, leases, or asset backed loans); the noteholder’s right to participate in any debt or equity financings, excluding (ATMs, loans, lines of credit, mortgagees, leases, or asset backed loans); a prohibition on the Company’s ability to extend or enter into any agreement restricting our ability to issue common stock under the notes; as well as a prohibition on our ability to permit any other lender to participate alongside the noteholder via any debt financing structures.

The Company evaluated both the Note 1 and Note 2 in accordance with ASC 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” because the promissory note (1) embodies an unconditional obligation, (2) may require the Company to settle the optional redemption obligation by issuing a variable number of its common shares, and (3) is based solely on a fixed monetary amount known at inception.

The lender does not benefit if the fair value of the Company’s common stock increases and does not bear the risk that the fair value of the Company’s common stock might decrease. In accordance with ASC 480, the promissory notes have been recorded as a liability and the Company is recording interest expense over the term of the promissory note, using the interest method from ASC 835-30, to accrete the carrying amount of the promissory note up to the redemption common stock settlement amount.

The Company has recorded debt issue costs totaling $1.8 million associated with the issuance and amendment of the notes which are being amortized over their respective terms. As of June 30, 2023, the balance of unamortized debt issuance costs for both notes were $0.4 million.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recorded $0.2 and $0.8 million respectively, of debt issuance costs and interest expense in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. The interest recorded associated with the unsecured promissory note increases the associated notes payable on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. As a result of the Forbearance Agreement and subsequent amendment discussed above, the balance of the notes payable mature in September 2024 and December 2024. The effective interest rate of the notes payable including amortization of the debt issuance costs and accretion of BCF is 14.8%.
