In December 2024, Fold Predecessor entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “December 2024 SPA”) with an institutional investor for the sale of a Senior Secured Convertible Note which is convertible into shares of the Company’s Common Stock. Fold Predecessor executed the December 2024 SPA and consummated the issuance of (i) an Initial Note in the principal amount of $20,000,000 with a conversion price of $11.50 per share (the “December 2024 Initial Investor Note”), and (ii) Series A, Series B, and Series C warrants to initially acquire up to 869,565, 500,000, and 869,565 additional shares of the Company’s Common Stock, respectively, with an initial exercise price of $12.50, $0.001, and $11.50 per share of Common Stock, respectively, subject to adjustment (collectively, the “Investor Warrants”). Fold may issue to the investor an additional Senior Secured Convertible Note in an aggregate principal amount of up to $10,000,000 (the “Additional Investor Note” and, together with the December 2024 Initial Investor Note, the “Investor Notes”), subject to the mutual discretion of Fold and the investor.

On February 14, 2025, following the Closing of the Merger, the maturity of the December 2024 Initial Investor Note extended from 10 months to 36 months from Fold Predecessor's public listing event (the "Public Company Date") and was reclassified from a current liability to long term liability. The Series A warrants were exercisable immediately and expire eight years from the date of issuance. The Series B and Series C warrants became exercisable at the time of the Public Company Date and expire eight years from the date of issuance and one year from the Public Company Date, respectively. Following the Public Company Date, the investor exercised the Series B warrants in a cashless exercise, acquiring the 500,000 shares of Common Stock at $0.001 per share.

On June 16, 2025, the Company entered into a Waiver, Amendment and Joinder Agreement with Fold, Inc. and the investor to, among other things, amend the December 2024 SPA (as amended, the "Amended December 2024 SPA"). The terms of the Waiver and Amendment Agreement provide for administrative changes and (1) the extension of the Expiration Date of the Series C Warrant from February 14, 2026 to August 14, 2026; (2) a reduction of the Conversion Price of the Note (as defined therein) to $9.00 (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations, recapitalizations and similar events after the date of the Waiver and Amendment Agreement); and (3) a reduction of the Exercise Price of the Series C Warrant (as defined therein) to $9.00 (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations, recapitalizations and similar events after the date of the Waiver and Amendment Agreement).

In accordance with ASC 470-50-40-10, the Company determined that the change in Conversion Price of the December 2024 Initial Investor Note from $11.50 to $9.00 increased the fair value of the embedded conversion option by more than 10% of the carrying value of the December 2024 SPA. This modification is considered to be substantial under ASC 470-50-40-10a and is accounted for as a debt extinguishment.

In accordance with ASC 470-50-40-6, the Company derecognized the original debt instrument and recognized an amended note as a new debt instrument at its fair value as of the modification date, reflecting the updated terms. As of June 15, 2025 the net carrying amount of the extinguished note was approximately $12.8 million, resulting in the Company recognizing a loss on the extinguishment of debt of $9.6 million in the condensed statement of operations, which is comprised of the original debt's unamortized debt discount of $5.8 million, the original debt's unamortized debt issuance costs of $1.4 million, the amended debt premium of $2.0 million and $0.5 million of additional paid-in capital related to the change in the fair value of the Series C warrants due to the change in exercise price, as noted above. The fair value of the amended note at the date of modification was estimated to be $22.0 million.

As of September 30, 2025, the principal amount outstanding under the June 2025 Amended Investor Note was $20.0 million. The December 2024 Initial Investor Note and the June 2025 Amended Investor Note are secured by Fold’s assets as collateral, including 300 bitcoin held within Fold’s digital asset Investment Treasury. The Company has included the net balance of the June 2025 Amended Investor Note within non-current liabilities, as the maturity date of the instrument is February 14, 2028.

The Company has accounted for the December 2024 Initial Investor Note and the Investor Warrants using the relative fair value allocation method on the date of issuance. The estimated fair values of the December 2024 Initial Investor Note and Investor Warrants were calculated under a Black-Scholes model utilizing the enterprise valuation of Fold's Common Stock as of the issuance date. The Company has elected not to subsequently remeasure the convertible note. Further, the Company concluded that the ability to issue the Additional Investor Note is separately exercisable from the December 2024 Initial Investor Note and the Investor Warrants. Each of the Investor Notes will be sold at an original issue discount of 5%.

The Company has accounted for the June 2025 Amended Investor Note at fair value on the date of extinguishment of the December 2024 Initial Investor Note and issuance of the June 2025 Amended Investor Note. The debt premium represents the 10% issue premium. The Company has elected not to subsequently remeasure the convertible note. Further, the Company concluded that the ability to issue the Additional Investor Note is separately exercisable from the Additional Investor Note and the Investor Warrants. The change in fair value of the Series C Warrant was calculated using a Black-Scholes model, utilizing Fold's stock price as of the issuance date.

The Company recorded interest expense under the June 2025 Amended Investor Note using a stated interest rate of 12% per annum, as well as the amortization of the debt premium and debt issuance costs, which the Company computed using the effective interest method. Total interest expense recognized related to the June 2025 Amended Investor Note for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was $0.4 million, comprised of contractual interest expense of $0.6 million and $0.2 million of amortization of the debt premium and debt issuance costs. Total interest expense recognized related to the December 2024 Initial Investor Note and June 2025 Amended Investor Note for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $1.6 million, comprised of contractual interest expense of $1.8 million and $0.2 million of amortization of the debt premium and debt issuance costs. Interest is calculated on the basis of a 360-day year and is payable quarterly in cash or paid-in-kind in shares of Common Stock.

The June 2025 Amended Investor Note, plus accrued and unpaid interest, is convertible at any time, at the investor’s option, into shares of the Company’s Common Stock at an initial fixed conversion price of $9.00 per share, subject to certain adjustments and alternative conditions. Upon a change of control of the Company, the investor may require the Company to redeem all, or any portion, of the June 2025 Amended Investor Note at a price stipulated by certain conditions as discussed within the Amended December 2024 SPA.

The June 2025 Amended Investor Note provides for certain events of default, including, among other things, any breach of the covenants described in the Amended December 2024 SPA. In connection with an event of default, the investor may require the Company to redeem all or any portion of the June 2025 Amended Investor Note at a premium as set forth in the June 2025 Amended Investor Note. The Company is also subject to certain customary affirmative and negative covenants regarding the rank of the June 2025 Amended Investor Note, the incurrence of indebtedness, the existence of liens, the repayment of indebtedness, the payment of cash in respect of dividends, distributions or redemptions, the transfer of assets, the maturity of other indebtedness, and transactions with affiliates, among other customary matters. As of September 30, 2025, the Company was in compliance with all covenants and there have been no events of default during the period.

On March 6, 2025, Fold entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “March 2025 SPA”) with a related party investor, SATS Credit Fund, LP, pursuant to which Fold issued to the investor (i) a Convertible Note in an aggregate principal amount of $46.3 million, (ii) warrants exercisable for 925,590 shares of Common Stock with an exercise price of $15.00 per share (the “March 2025 Warrants”), and (iii) an aggregate of 750,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Closing Shares”).

As of September 30, 2025, the principal amount outstanding under the March 2025 Investor Note was $46.3 million and the fair value was $60.8 million. The aggregate principal amount outstanding under the March 2025 Investor Note, plus accrued and unpaid interest, is convertible at any time, at the investor’s option, into shares of the Company’s Common Stock at an initial fixed conversion price of $12.50 per share, subject to certain adjustments and alternative conditions. The Company also has a forced conversion right, which is exercisable on the occurrence of certain conditions set forth in the note, pursuant to which it can cause a portion of the unpaid and outstanding note to be converted into shares of the Company's Common Stock at the Conversion Price. Specifically, the March 2025 Investor Note has six triggering events which occur when the Company's stock price is greater than or equal to $15.00 through $40.00. Upon the occurrence of each triggering event, the March 2025 Investor Note will automatically convert into the specified number of shares outlined by each individual triggering event.

The March 2025 Investor Note was funded with 475 bitcoin, net of 25 bitcoin of which was paid to the investor as prepayment for the first year of interest. This bitcoin is included in the Company’s Digital Assets – Investment Treasury and will be held as collateral to secure the March 2025 Investor Note until maturity or conversion of the note. On the maturity date, the Company shall transfer to the investor the balance of any bitcoin not previously released to the Company upon conversion of the March 2025 Investor Note to Common Stock, with a maximum potential repayment of 500 bitcoin if no amounts convert to Common Stock during the life of the note. No cash payments by Fold are contemplated under the March 2025 Investor Note.

The Company has elected to account for the March 2025 Investor Note using the fair value option and will remeasure the March 2025 Investor Note at each reporting period. As of the date of issuance, the fair value of the March 2025 Investor Note was $59.0 million which exceeded the proceeds received of $46.3 million. The $12.8 million excess of the fair value over the net proceeds received has been recorded as a loss within the condensed statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

During the three months ended and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recorded a $2.6 million loss and $1.7 million loss due to changes in fair value of the March 2025 Investor Note.

The Company separately valued the March 2025 Warrants and Closing Shares issued at $3.8 million and $5.8 million, respectively. The Company considered those amounts as costs and fees incurred upon issuance of the debt. Since those costs and fees were incurred in connection with an instrument entered into with a related party that is subsequently being measured at fair value, the Company expensed the full $9.6 million immediately in the period. The March 2025 Warrants were analyzed in accordance with ASC 815-40 and determined to meet the requirements for equity classification. The estimated fair value of the March 2025 Warrants were calculated under a Black-Scholes model as of the issuance date. The March 2025 Warrants expire five years from the date of issuance and the March 2025 Investor Note matures on March 6, 2030.

The March 2025 Investor Note will accrue interest at a rate of 7.0% per annum, payable quarterly in shares of Common Stock valued at $12.50 per share. Total interest expense recognized related to the March 2025 Investor Note for the three months ended and nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $0.5 million and $1.2 million, respectively. Pursuant to the March 2025 SPA, the Company prepaid one year of interest in the form of 25 bitcoin and will amortize that prepaid interest through March 31, 2026. The prepaid interest has been recorded within prepaid expenses and other current assets on the condensed balance sheet. Beginning April 1, 2026, interest will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year and stated interest rate of 7% per annum. Interest is payable quarterly in paid-in-kind shares of Common Stock.

The March 2025 Investor Note provides for certain events of default. In connection with an event of default, the investor may require the Company to redeem all or any portion of the March 2025 Investor Note by returning to the Holder (as defined therein) the amount of Bitcoin Collateral (as defined therein) that has not previously been released to the Company in connection with the conversion of the principal into shares of Common Stock. The Company is also subject to certain customary affirmative and negative covenants regarding the rank of the March 2025 Investor Note, the incurrence of indebtedness, the existence of liens, the repayment of indebtedness, distributions or redemptions, the transfer of assets, and the maturity of other indebtedness, among other customary matters. As of September 30, 2025, the Company was in compliance with all covenants and there have been no events of default during the period.
