- (ii) The second closing of $2,160,000 will take place within three business days after New TruGolf files the Registration Statement, resulting in Convertible Notes issued by New TruGolf in the principal amount of $2,400,000, provided that certain conditions are met, contingent on Stockholder Approval.
- (iii) The third closing of $2,880,000 will occur within three business days of the Registration Statement being declared effective, leading to Convertible Notes issued by New TruGolf in the principal amount of $3,200,000, contingent on Stockholder Approval and New TruGolf’s discretion.

- Interest will accrue on the outstanding principal of the Convertible Notes at a rate of 10% annually, payable quarterly, and if New TruGolf’s Class A Common Stock’s VWAP reaches or exceeds $6.00 per share for five consecutive trading days before an interest payment date, PIPE Investors may choose to receive interest in cash or Class A Common Stock with a 15% annual interest rate and a conversion rate based on the lowest VWAP for the 5 consecutive trading days prior to the interest payment date.
- As part of the Convertible Notes purchase, PIPE Investors will receive Warrants to buy 727,273 Class A Common Stock shares at an exercise price of $13.00 per share, with provisions for price adjustments based on future stock sales by New TruGolf or its subsidiaries.
