ClearOne, Inc. entered into a Note Purchase Agreement with First Finance Ltd. on June 20, 2025, securing $3 million in convertible notes. The proceeds from this financing are restricted for specific uses, including working capital and operational needs directly related to an impending Asset Sale. This financing is a critical step as the company navigates its severe financial challenges.
A key condition of this financing requires ClearOne to use 'reasonable best efforts' to complete the Asset Sale, defined as the sale of all or substantially all of its current assets and operations, within 180 days of issuing Class A Redeemable Preferred Stock. This explicitly links the new capital to a potential liquidation of the company's core business, underscoring the urgency of its strategic pivot.
In conjunction with this financing and to reduce expenses, ClearOne implemented a significant reduction in force on June 20, 2025, affecting a substantial portion of its workforce. Estimated severance and related costs of approximately $1.9 million are expected to be incurred primarily in Q3 2025. As of June 30, 2025, the company held $1.678 million in restricted cash from the convertible note, with full disbursement anticipated by November 2025 for operational and deal-related expenses.
