IM Topco Equity Interest Transfer

On and effective April 15, 2025, the Company and two subsidiaries of WHP entered into a Membership Interest Transfer Agreement, pursuant to which Xcel transferred to WHP equity interests equal to 12.5% of the outstanding equity interests of IM Topco. As a result of the transfer, Xcel’s interest in IM Topco was reduced from a 30% equity interest to a 17.5% equity interest.

As a result, the Company concluded that as of and effective April 2025, it no longer holds significant influence over IM Topco, and discontinued the application of the equity method of accounting. In accordance with relevant GAAP guidance, the Company remeasured its retained investment in IM Topco as of the date of discontinuance of the equity method, which was not significantly different from the value reflected on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2025. Going forward, as the equity securities of IM Topco are not publicly traded and do not have readily determinable fair values, the Company has elected to measure its investment in IM Topco in accordance with ASC 820-10-35-59: at adjusted cost, less impairment, plus or minus observable price changes of an identical or similar investment of the same issuer.

Shares Issued to Executives

On April 30, 2025, the Company issued an aggregate of 8,917 shares of common stock to executives, in accordance with the terms of the amended employment agreements with Mr. D’Loren and Mr. Burroughs (see Note 7 for details).

On May 28, 2025, the Company granted Mr. D’Loren 8,750 restricted shares of common stock and options to purchase an aggregate of 8,750 shares of common stock. Also on May 28, 2025, the Company granted Mr. Burroughs 2,500 restricted shares of common stock and options to purchase an aggregate of 2,500 shares of common stock.

Debt Refinancing

On April 21, 2025, the Company and its lenders and FEAC Agent, LLC entered into an amendment of the December 12, 2024 loan and security agreement, which provided for $1.5 million repayment of the $3.95 million Term Loan A and an additional Term Loan B in the amount of $5.12 million. The term loans outstanding after giving effect to the April 21, 2025 amendment and the application of the proceeds of the additional Term Loan B are as follows: (1) Term Loan A in the amount of $2.45 million, (2) Term Loan B in the amount of $9.12 million, and (3) Delayed Draw Term Loan in the amount of $2.05 million. The proceeds from the additional Term Loan B were used to repay a portion of Term Loan A, as well as to pay fees, costs, and expenses incurred in connection with entering into the April 21, 2025 amendment, and the balance will be used for working capital purposes.  

Within 30 days after April 21, 2025, the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan A was repaid, on a pro rata basis in an aggregate amount equal to $500,000. Also in connection with this refinancing transaction, IPX’s participation in Term Loan B was repaid and IPX purchased a $500,000 undivided, last-out, subordinated participation interest in Term Loan A.

Principal on the Term Loan A is payable on a pro rata basis in quarterly installments of $250,000 on each of March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31 of each year, commencing on March 31, 2026, with the unpaid balance due on the maturity date of December 12, 2028.  Principal on the Term Loan B is payable on the maturity date of December 12, 2028.

From and after April 21, 2025, interest on each Term Loan A accrues at an annual rate equal to the secured overnight financing rate as administered by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York for an interest period equal to three months, subject to a 2.0% floor, plus 8.5%. From and after April 21, 2025, interest on each Term Loan B accrues at an annual rate equal to the secured overnight financing rate as administered by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York for an interest period equal to three months, subject to a 2.0% floor, plus 6.5%. From and after April 21, 2025 through March 31, 2027, interest on the Term Loan B will be paid in-kind by being capitalized and added to the principal amount of the Term Loan B at the end of each calendar month.

The Term Loans are guaranteed by certain direct and indirect subsidiaries of the Company, and are secured by all of the assets of the Company and such subsidiaries. The April 21, 2025 amendment contains various customary financial covenants and reporting requirements, as specified and defined therein; the Company is currently in compliance with all applicable covenants.

Also in connection with this refinancing transaction, UTG Capital, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“UTG”), purchased a 100% undivided, participation interest in Term Loan B for a purchase price of $9.12 million and received warrants entitling it to purchase 1,107,457 warrants shares of the Company. Such warrants are exercisable for a period of seven years from the date of issuance, at specified exercise prices ranging from $6.60 per share to $17.50 per share. Further, the Company also issued warrants to purchase 30,000 shares of common stock to Restore Capital (EQ-W), LLC (“Restore”), another of the lenders, and amended warrants to purchase an aggregate of 107,333 shares of common stock held by Restore and warrants previously issued to warrants of FEAC Agent, LLC.
