PROMISSORY NOTES – AFFILIATES

On November 30, 2017, WMS issued subordinated promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of approximately $3.6 million to certain sellers in connection with the acquisition of the PKSH Entities. These notes had a maturity date of May 17, 2023 and accrued interest at a rate of 10% annually. The interest on these notes continued to accrue until such time as these notes were paid.

Additionally, in connection with the acquisition of the PKSH Entities, the Company agreed to pay contingent consideration in the amount of $5.0 million to certain sellers. The conditions related to this contingency were met on November 30, 2018, and thus the notes had been issued to the sellers. These subordinated promissory notes had a maturity date of May 30, 2023, and accrued interest at a rate of 10% annually. The interest on these notes continued to accrue until such time as these notes were paid.

In connection with the closing of the Business Combination, the Company paid approximately $3.4 million on these notes. In addition to the paydown, the noteholders (all of whom are stockholders and/or key employees) agreed to forgive the remaining accrued but unpaid interest of approximately $3.8 million and entered into new promissory notes in the principal amount of approximately $5.3 million in the aggregate. The amounts outstanding as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 are $5.3 million and $5.4 million, respectively. The amount outstanding as of December 31, 2024 includes accrued interest which was paid subsequently.
