Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

Effective as of April 14, 2025 (the “Effective Date”), Noble Roman’s, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to a Senior Secured Promissory Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement, dated as of February 7, 2020 (as previously amended, the “Loan Agreement”), with Corbel Capital Partners SBIC, L.P. (“Corbel”). Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, the Company previously issued to Corbel a senior secured promissory note in the initial principal amount of $8.0 million (the “Senior Note”) and issued to Corbel a warrant (as amended, the “Existing Warrant”) to purchase up to 2,250,000 shares of Common Stock.

 

The Amendment provided for an extension of the maturity of the Senior Note to June 30, 2026 from April 14, 2025. In consideration of such extension, the Company agreed to a cash interest rate payable with respect to the Senior Note of SOFR (as defined in the Loan Agreement) plus 9.0%, with a SOFR rate floor of 4.25%, and obtained a discontinuation of the 3% PIK interest which was being accrued prior to this Amendment. Prior to this Amendment, PIK interest of 3% was added to the principal amount of the Senior Note each month such that the next month the Company paid interest on principal with the addition of the previous months’ PIK interest. Prior to this Amendment the Company was paying SOFR + 7.75% plus 3% PIK interest. The Company agreed to increase the required monthly payments of principal on the Senior Note to $91,667 per month from $83,333, beginning on April 30, 2025. The deferred closing cost for the previous extension is added to the principal amount of the Senior Note as of the effective date of this Amendment. The Company paid a cash extension fee for this Amendment of approximately $66,000 at closing. The Company agreed to extend the exercise period for the Existing Warrant from February 2027 to February 2030 and reduce the exercise price from $0.30 per share to $0.10 per share and issued, on the Effective Date, a new warrant (the “New Warrant”) to purchase up to 750,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.10 per share with a five-year exercise period. Only if the Company has not redeemed Corbel’s Senior Note by August 14, 2025, the Company will issue an additional warrant to purchase up to 500,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.10 per share on August 14, 2025. For any month the Senior Note remains outstanding after August 14, 2025, the Company will issue an additional warrant to purchase up to 250,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.10 per share. The Amendment provides that the Company reimburse certain Corbel expenses incurred in connection with the production of the Amendment.

 

The foregoing description of the Amendment and the Loan Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Amendment and the New Warrant which will be filed as exhibits with the Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2025.
