| Related Party Transactions |
During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we made payments related to legal fees of approximately $100,000 to a law firm operated by one of our Board members.
In August 2023, we received $500,000 in funding in exchange for the issuance of a convertible promissory note for that principal amount to Choong Choon Hau, a major stockholder (the “Hau Promissory Note”). Pursuant to the Hau Promissory Note, the principal amount will accrue interest at a rate of 10% per annum and will be payable monthly. All principal and accrued interest shall be due and payable on January 1, 2024, unless extended as provided. All or part of the Hau Promissory Note can be converted into our common stock at a conversion price of $0.5712 per share from time to time following the issuance date and ending on the maturity date. We incurred interest expense of approximately $7,500 during the three months ended September 30, 2023 on this promissory note. The Hau Promissory note is included in Notes Payable to Related Party in the condensed balance sheet at September 30, 2023.
In July 2023, we received $250,000 in funding in exchange for the issuance of an unsecured promissory note for that principal amount to David E. Lazar, our Chief Executive Officer and chairman of our Board of Directors (the “Lazar Promissory Note”). Pursuant to the Lazar Promissory Note, the principal amount accrued interest at a rate of the Prime Rate + 2.00% per annum, and all principal and accrued interest would have been due and payable on the earlier of January 1, 2024 or such time as we receive debt or equity financing or proceeds in excess of $500,000 from the aforementioned transaction with Fedson. The promissory note was paid off in September 2023. We incurred interest expense of approximately $3,718 during the three months ended September 30, 2023 on this promissory note. |
