What the filing says
Ocean Power Technologies issued a convertible promissory note to Vanquish Funding Group Inc. for $325,000 purchase price (principal face value $373,750 including $48,750 OID) on November 2, 2026. Note bears 12% one-time interest, matures October 30, 2027, with seven monthly payments beginning April 2027. Conversion to common stock at 75% of 10-day low trading price occurs only post-default; 150% default penalty applies; multiple restrictive covenants including exchange listing maintenance, SEC reporting compliance, asset sale repayment obligations, and shorting prohibitions. Company pays $25,000 in fees ($18K to D. Boral Capital, $7K lender legal/due diligence).
Why this rating
$325K debt is 1.7% of company's $18.7M market cap—meaningful but not transformational. Harsh terms (150% default multiplier, aggressive conversion, listing/reporting covenants, daily $2K fail-to-deliver fees) create material execution risk for small company. Restrictive covenant burden significant relative to size.
