Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
As previously disclosed by NextTrip, Inc. (the “Company”) in its filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, on April 25, 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors (“Board”) approved and authorized NextTrip Holdings, Inc. (“NextTrip”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, to enter into a series of unsecured line of credit promissory notes (the “Line of Credit”) with certain related parties, including investors, directors, officers and employees of the Company, who may individually provide funds for the aggregate principal amount of up to $1,000,000, which aggregate principal amount was increased to up to $2,000,000 on August 14, 2024 at a joint meeting of the Audit Committee and the Board. The notes issued under the Line of Credit bear an annual interest rate of 7.5%, shall mature one year from the date of each note’s execution and may be prepaid by the Company at any time prior to maturity without penalty.
On April 9, 2024, NextTrip and Donald P. Monaco Insurance Trust (the “Trust”) entered into two promissory notes (each, a “Note,” and together, the “Notes”) under the Line of Credit. Donald Monaco, chairman of the Board, is the trustee of the Trust. The first Note has a principal balance of $500,000 and was issued in exchange for a new cash payment provided my Mr. Monaco. The second Note has a principal balance of $145,000 and was issued in exchange for cash advances previously made by Mr. Monaco to the Company.
The foregoing summary of the Notes does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the full text of each of the Notes, copies of which are attached as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.
