Convertible Debenture

 

As previously disclosed, on May 12, 2025, Kindly entered into a Secured Convertible Debenture Purchase Agreement (the “Debenture Purchase Agreement”) with YA II PN, Ltd., an investment fund managed by Yorkville Advisors (the “Investor”), under which the Company agreed to sell and issue to the Investor a secured convertible debenture (the “Convertible Debenture”) in aggregate principal amount of $200.0 million (the “Principal Amount”) in exchange for cash or bitcoin equal to 96% of the Principal Amount (the “Debt Financing”). On August 15, 2025, pursuant to the terms of the Debenture Purchase Agreement, the Company closed the issuance of the Convertible Debenture in connection with the Merger by entering into the Convertible Debenture. The Convertible Debenture was issued in a private placement in reliance upon an exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

 

The Convertible Debenture bears interest at a rate of 0.00% per annum for the first two years, and 6.00% per annum for the third year and is payable on the third-year anniversary of the issuance date of the Convertible Debenture (the “Maturity Date”) or earlier redemption date. The interest rate will increase to a rate of 18.0% per annum upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default under the Convertible Debenture. The Convertible Debenture will be secured by Bitcoin having a value of not less the $400 million within 10 Business Days following the funding of the Debt Financing; provided, that a portion of the Bitcoin constituting collateral securing the obligations under the Convertible Debenture shall be released back to the Company and its subsidiaries to the extent the principal amounts of the Debt Financing is reduced below certain dollar amount thresholds. At no time shall the Bitcoin securing the obligations under the Convertible Debenture be less than 2x the principal amount of the Debt Financing. The Bitcoin serving as collateral for the obligations under the Convertible Debenture shall at all times be held by a special purpose “digital asset subsidiary” that fully guarantees the obligations of the Company under the Convertible Debenture.

 

The Convertible Debenture provides that the Investor may convert all or any portion of the principal amount of the Convertible Debenture, together with any accrued and unpaid interest thereon, at an initial conversion price of $2.80 (the “Fixed Price”), which is subject to a one-time, downward only reset equal to 130% of the volume weighted average price reported by Bloomberg as of the last trading day prior to the date of effectiveness of the registration statement with respect to the resale of the Company Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Debenture or, if the Company has an effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3, on the Closing Date, subject to a $2.00 floor price (the “Convertible Shares”). The Investor is not permitted to convert the Convertible Debenture to the extent that the Convertible Shares deliverable upon conversion thereof would exceed 19.99% of the Company’s outstanding shares immediately prior to executing the Debenture Purchase Agreement (the “Exchange Cap”) without prior stockholder approval.

 

The Company has the right to redeem the Convertible Debenture if (i) the volume-weighted average price of the Company Common Stock is less than the Fixed Price and it provides the Investor at least ten (10) trading days’ notice, or (ii) the volume-weighted average price of the Company Common Stock is equal to or greater than $4.50 and it provides the Investor at least thirty (30) trading days’ notice, and in each case, at a redemption price equal to 101.5% of the principal amount redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon if redeemed within the first twelve (12) months, 103.0% if redeemed between twelve (12) and twenty-four (24) months, and 105.0% if redeemed between twenty-four (24) and third-six (36) months (the “Payment Premium”). Following such notice and prior to the respective redemption, the Investor shall have the right to elect to convert all or any portion of the outstanding principal plus all accrued and unpaid interest, plus the Payment Premium.

 

 

In connection with the issuance of the Convertible Debenture, a subsidiary of Kindly entered into (i) a Guaranty and Security Agreement, in favor of the Investor in its capacity as collateral agent, pursuant to which the Convertible Debenture is secured by a first priority lien on certain of the Company’s assets (the “Security Agreement”), (ii) a Registration Rights Agreement, pursuant to which the Company is obligated to prepare and file a registration statement registering the offer and sale of certain of the Investor’s Company Common Stock (the “Investor RRA”) and (iii) account control agreements with the Investor and the custodian for such accounts. In addition, Kindly issued 3.0 million unregistered shares of the Company Common Stock to the Investor as fee shares (the “Convert Fee Shares”), paid a one-time due diligence and structuring fee, and reimbursed the Investor for certain legal expenses. The Convert Fee Shares were issued in reliance upon an exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

 

Under the Investor RRA, Kindly has agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC, within thirty (30) calendar days after the Closing, a registration statement registering the resale of the Convertible Shares and the Convert Fee Shares. Kindly shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have such registration statement declared effective as soon as practicable after filing, but no later than the 60th calendar day (or 90th calendar day if the SEC notifies Kindly that it will review the registration statement) following the Closing.

Clawback Policy

 

The amended and restated Clawback Policy was updated to reflect recent regulatory developments and to enhance the Company’s compliance with Section 10D of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and applicable listing standards. Key changes include:

 

●

Expansion of Covered Executives: The definition of “Covered Executives” has been expanded to explicitly include current and former executive officers as defined by Section 10D of the Exchange Act, Rule 10D-1, and the applicable national securities exchange listing standards. The policy also clarifies that “executive officers” include those defined under Rule 16a-1(f) of the Exchange Act.

 

●

Scope of Incentive Compensation: The policy now specifies that it applies to all incentive compensation received by a Covered Executive after beginning service as an executive officer, who served as an executive officer during the relevant performance period, and while the Company has a listed class of securities.

 

●

Calculation and Recovery of Excess Incentive Compensation: The Board is required to determine the amount of excess incentive compensation subject to recovery without regard to any taxes paid by the executive. The policy also provides specific procedures for determining the amount of excess compensation when such compensation is based on stock price or total shareholder return, including the use of reasonable estimates and documentation requirements.

 

●

Indemnification and Insurance: The Company is explicitly prohibited from indemnifying or reimbursing Covered Executives for the loss of any incorrectly awarded incentive compensation or for purchasing insurance to cover such losses. The policy also provides for indemnification of Board members and delegates for actions taken in connection with the administration of the policy.

 

●

Governing Law: The policy is now governed by the laws of the State of Delaware.

 

●

Impracticability: The policy specifies that recovery of excess incentive compensation is not required if it would be impracticable for either of the following reasons: (i) the direct expense of enforcement would exceed the amount to be recovered, provided that reasonable attempts to recover are made and documented for Nasdaq; or (ii) recovery would violate applicable law.

 

 

Insider Trading Policy

 

The amended and restated Insider Trading Policy was updated to reflect current best practices and recent regulatory changes, including the SEC’s new requirements under Item 408(a) of Regulation S-K. Key changes include:

 

●

Expanded Scope and Applicability: The policy now explicitly covers trading in securities of other companies if such trades are based on material, nonpublic information obtained through the Company. The policy applies to directors, officers, employees, consultants, independent contractors, and their respective family members, household members, and controlled entities. The definitions of “Family Members” and “Controlled Entities” have been clarified and expanded.

 

●

Compliance Officer Role: The designated Compliance Officer has been updated from the Chief Financial Officer to the General Counsel. The policy now specifies the duties of the Compliance Officer, including implementation, enforcement, policy updates, preclearance of trades, approval of Rule 10b5-1 plans, and administration of whistleblower protections.

 

●

Blackout Periods and Trading Windows: The policy clarifies that event-specific blackout periods may be imposed in connection with events such as cybersecurity incidents and new product developments. The policy also clarifies that even during open trading windows, any person in possession of material nonpublic information may not trade in Company securities.

 

●

Exceptions to Trading Restrictions: The policy now details exceptions for transactions under 401(k) plans and employee stock purchase plans (ESPP), specifying which actions are and are not subject to trading restrictions. The policy also clarifies that the exercise of stock options and the vesting of restricted stock awards are generally exempt from trading restrictions, but sales of resulting shares are not.

 

●

Rule 10b5-1 Plans: The policy incorporates new SEC disclosure requirements under Item 408(a) of Regulation S-K, requiring quarterly disclosure of the adoption or termination of Rule 10b5-1 trading plans and a description of their material terms (other than price).

 

●

Administrative and Procedural Updates: The policy now requires all covered persons to sign an acknowledgment and certification of receipt and understanding of the policy.

 

The foregoing descriptions of the amended and restated Clawback Policy and Insider Trading Policy are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of each policy, copies of which are attached as Exhibits 99.4 and 19.1, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
