On November 1, 2022, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with Mark Elliott, former CEO of Boxlight and a current member of the board of directors. The agreement is for Mr. Elliott to provide sales, marketing, management and related consulting services to assist the Company in sourcing and entering into agreements with one or more customers to provide products and services for specified school districts. The Company will pay Mr. Elliott a fixed payment of $4 thousand per month and commissions equal to 15% of gross profit derived by the Company based on total purchase order revenue. The agreement, unless cancelled, will automatically renew on December 31, 2025. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company paid $137 thousand and $352 thousand under the agreement, respectively.
On January 31, 2018, the Company entered into a management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with an entity owned and controlled by our now Chairman and former CEO, Michael Pope. The Management Agreement was separate and apart from Mr. Pope’s employment agreement. The Management Agreement was effective as of the first day of the same month that Mr. Pope’s employment with the Company terminates, and for a term of 13 months, Mr. Pope will provide consulting services to the Company including sourcing and analyzing strategic acquisitions, assisting with financing activities, and other services. As consideration for the services provided, the Company will pay a management
fee equal to 0.375% of the consolidated net revenues of the Company, payable in monthly installments, not to exceed $250,000 in any calendar year. At his option, Mr. Pope may defer payment until the end of each year and receive payment in the form of shares of Class A common stock of the Company.
On January 4, 2024, Mr. Pope’s employment with the Company terminated. In accordance with the Management Agreement, Mr. Pope is expected to continue providing consulting services to the Company for the subsequent 13 months, with such agreement terminating on February 2025. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company paid $43 thousand and $250 thousand under the agreement. Mr. Pope continues to serve as a director of the Company.
Inventory Finance Agreement
On May 27, 2025, the Company entered into an Inventory Finance Agreement with J.J. ASTOR & CO., a Utah corporation ("J.J ASTOR”). Michael Pope is the chief executive officer of J.J ASTOR, which is beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by a private investment fund managed by Mr. Pope.
Under the Agreement, the Company may finance the purchase of certain finished goods inventory from one of the Company’s manufacturers and suppliers of such inventory up to an aggregate outstanding amount of $6 million. The term of the Agreement is one year. Each advance under the Agreement is payable by the Company within 90 days at a rate of 5.35% of the amount advanced by J.J ASTOR. Title to the product remains with J.J. ASTOR until payment is made by the Company. Any failure by the Company to make a payment in full when due under the Agreement constitutes an event of default. In the event of such default by the Company, the aggregate outstanding balance owing to J.J ASTOR is automatically increased by 10% and begins to accrue interest at the rate of 19% per annum, compounded daily.
On November 3, 2025, the Company and J.J. Astor entered into an amendment and restatement of the Agreement (the “Restated Agreement”). Under the Restated Agreement, the Company may finance 80% of the purchase of certain finished goods inventory from one of the Company’s manufacturers and suppliers of such inventory up to an aggregate outstanding amount of $9 million, a $3 million increase from the maximum amount under the original Agreement. Each advance under the Restated Agreement remains payable by the Company within 90 days at a rate of $1.0535 per $0.80 advanced. The term of the Restated Agreement is until November 3, 2026, unless mutually extended or earlier terminated by J.J. Astor.
Under the Restated Agreement, J.J. Astor may elect from time to time to convert all or a portion of the amounts owed by the Company into shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share. J.J. Astor can require the Company to register any such shares for public resale with the Securities & Exchange Commission.
