Senior Secured Promissory Note

 

On March 1, 2024, the Company entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (the “Note Agreement”), by and between the Company, Kustom Entertainment (together with the Company, the “Borrowers”), and Mosh Man, LLC, a New Jersey limited liability company (the “Purchaser”), pursuant to which the Borrowers issued to the Purchaser a Senior Secured Promissory Note (the “Note”) with a principal amount of $1,425,000. In connection with the Agreement, the Borrowers entered into a Security Agreement (the “Security Agreement”) by and between the Borrowers, as grantor, and the Purchaser, as grantee. The gross proceeds to the Company are $1,000,000, before paying customary fees and expenses.

 

Pursuant to the Note, the Borrowers shall repay the Note, in full, on the earlier of (i) November 1, 2024, and (ii) the consummation of the merger between Kustom Entertainment and Clover Leaf pursuant to the Merger Agreement among the Company, Kustom Entertainment, Clover Leaf Capital Corp., Yntegra Capital Investments LLC and CL Merger Sub, dated as of June 1, 2023.

The Note bears interest at a rate of 1.58% per month. The Borrowers have the right, but not the obligation, under the Note to prepay the Note, upon written notice to the Purchaser, by payment in full of the entire outstanding principal balance plus interest. Upon a change of control of either Borrower or a sale or all or substantially all of either Borrower’s assets, the Purchaser may require the Borrowers to repay the Note, upon written notice to the Borrowers, by payment in full of the entire outstanding principal balance plus interest. In addition, upon the receipt of proceeds from any financing or extraordinary receipts, the Borrowers are required to repay the Note as follows: (A) if the aggregate proceeds of all such financings and extraordinary receipts are less than $3,000,000, the Borrowers shall prepay an amount equaling to 50% of the outstanding principal of the Note, and (B) if the aggregate proceeds of all such financings and extraordinary receipts are equal to or greater than $3,000,000, the Borrowers shall prepay the Note in full.

 

Pursuant to the Security Agreement, the Borrowers’ obligations under the Note and Agreement are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Borrowers, other than any real property.

 

Notice of Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule

 

On March 14, 2024, the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications staff notified Digital Ally, Inc. (the “Company”), that due to resignation of Mr. Michael J. Caulfield from the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) effective on January 31, 2024, the Company no longer complies with the audit committee and compensation committee requirements as set forth in Listing Rule 5605 of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”), including the requirements that there are at least three independent directors on the Company’s audit committee and at least two independent directors on the Company’s compensation committee.

 

The notification has no immediate effect on the Company’s listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rules, the Company is provided a cure period until the earlier of the Company’s next annual shareholders’ meeting (or July 29, 2024 if the next shareholders’ meeting will be held before July 29, 2024) or January 31, 2025 (the “Cure Period”). If the Company does not regain compliance by within the Cure Period, Nasdaq will provide written notice that the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share, will be subject to delisting from the Nasdaq Capital Market, at which time, the Company may appeal the delisting determination to a Hearings Panel.

 

The management of the Company has resolved to take commercially reasonable steps to fill the vacancy on the Board with a new director who qualifies as independent under the Nasdaq Listing Rules as soon as is practical and anticipates regaining compliance during the Cure Period. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to satisfy Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605 or will otherwise be in compliance with other Nasdaq listing criteria.
