As per one of the LOIs, the investor would commit $5.0 million in convertible preferred stock, funded in three tranches. The proceeds are expected to be used for general working capital during the strategic transition, satisfaction or discharge of existing liabilities, and transaction expenses.
The investor may also provide additional funding to support potential value-creating strategic initiatives, and the existing management team is expected to remain involved, Dot Ai added.
In the second LOI, Dot Ai said it would sell a portion of its operating business, comprising designated assets used in the Dot Ai platform, to a strategic buyer for $6 million in cash, with the buyer also assuming roughly $3 million in related liabilities.
The company further added that the buyer would fund a $500,000 secured convertible note as a down payment in exchange for exclusivity throughout the term of the deal, and that it intends to retain and support the existing management team to accelerate commercialization.
