Monitor for immediate share resales by Streeterville given Rule 144 eligibility and the lender's track record. The full extinguishment of the secured note removes a debt overhang but replaces it with equity overhang — the net effect is bearish for existing holders due to dilution and likely near-term selling.

Executive Summary
BIO-key International entered into four exchange agreements with Streeterville Capital to partition $416,315.80 of a $1,130,000 secured promissory note into four new notes and exchange them for 247,805 shares of common stock, extinguishing the original note in full. The shares are issued under Section 3(a)(9) and are immediately resalable under Rule 144, creating immediate selling pressure from a known distressed lender.
Key Facts

- Shares are unregistered but immediately eligible for resale under Rule 144 with tacked holding period from September 30, 2025.

Financial Impact
247,805 shares issued to extinguish $416,315.80 of debt; no new cash raised. Dilution percentage not calculable without prior share count from filing.
Risk Factors
- Immediate resale of 247,805 shares into the market by Streeterville could pressure the stock price.
- No new capital raised — the company solved a debt problem without addressing underlying cash flow or operations.
- Potential for additional future exchanges or further dilutive financing if cash needs persist.
