NOTE 7 ROYALTY OBLIGATIONS

 

The Company had a license agreement with General Electric (“GE”) which provided, among other things, for rights to market certain of the Company’s products displaying the GE brand in consideration of royalty payments to GE. The agreement expired in 2023.

 

The Company owes $2.5 million to GE pursuant to the license agreement. The payments associated with this debt are payable in quarterly tranches aggregating $0.8 million during 2024 and 2025 and $0.9 million in 2026. Additionally, the Company owes an additional amount of $1.4 million pursuant to its agreements with GE which is payable in 2027. During April 2024, GE and the Company agreed to reduce the additional amount of $1.4 million by $400,000 in exchange for the issuance of a convertible promissory note of $1.0 million. The GE Note does not bear interest and the principal amount of the Note is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at any time at the option of the holder at $1.07 per share. The Company may prepay the entire then-outstanding principal amount of a Note at any time, plus a prepayment premium; if the Company exercises such right, the Note holder may instead elect to convert the Note into shares of common stock. The Note also provides for certain piggyback registration rights.
