Monitor whether Borealis can raise $70M at $9.00 per share by July 2026. Failure triggers automatic conversion of $29M debt, likely at a discount to current market price, resulting in heavy dilution. Short-term, the refinancing removes immediate liquidity risk but the stock faces an overhang from potential equity conversion and high interest costs.
Price Chart
Executive Summary
Borealis Foods secured a $17.0M term loan from major shareholder Oxus Capital to refinance existing debt and improve liquidity. The deal terminates forbearance arrangements and includes a $29M debt-to-equity conversion clause if the company fails to raise $70M by July 2026. Oxus will also appoint two board members, increasing its influence.
Key Financial Metrics
Key Facts
- $17.0M term loan from Oxus Capital at 12% annual interest, maturing in 2031

Financial Impact
$17M new debt at 12% interest; potential conversion of $29M debt into equity, causing significant dilution
Risk Factors

- Oxus gaining two board seats may lead to governance shifts or conflicts
