The financing is highly dilutive and structured with aggressive terms typical of distressed capital raises. The second tranche is contingent on the company curing its SEC filing delinquencies within 90 days — failure to do so would likely trigger defaults. Monitor for the company's ability to file its overdue 10-K and 10-Q, and watch for any conversion notices from Hinterland that would indicate immediate selling pressure.

Key Financial Metrics
Key Facts
- Netcapital issued a convertible promissory note to Hinterland Partners LLC with up to $641,936.66 principal amount (purchase price up to $577,743.00), reflecting an original issue discount of $64,193.66.
- First tranche of $447,492.22 principal funded on October 13, 2026; second tranche of up to $194,444.44 principal contingent on no event of default, Nasdaq listing maintained, and becoming current on delinquent SEC filings.
- Conversion price is 85% of the lowest trading price over the prior 7 trading days, with full ratchet anti-dilution protection — any future issuance below the conversion price triggers an automatic reset.
- Commitment shares equal to 20% of each tranche's principal divided by the prior day's closing price are issued as additional consideration; warrants exercisable at $0.01 per share may be issued if beneficial ownership limits are exceeded.
- Company pledged 3,209,685 shares of KingsCrowd Inc. Class A common stock as collateral under a separate pledge agreement.
- As of October 13, 2026, the company had 8,018,428 shares of common stock outstanding; the note and warrants could potentially dilute existing shareholders significantly.
- Company is delinquent on its Form 10-K for FY ended April 30, 2026 and Form 10-Q for quarter ended July 31, 2026, and must cure within 90 days to trigger the second tranche.
- Upon an event of default, the outstanding amount accelerates at 150% of principal plus accrued interest.
Financial Impact
Up to $641,937 in new debt with a 12% interest charge and severe dilution potential from conversion at a 15% discount to market, plus commitment shares and warrants at $0.01. The company's market cap is very small relative to the potential dilution.
Risk Factors
- Severe dilution from conversion at a 15% discount to market price, plus commitment shares and warrants at $0.01, could overwhelm the thin float.
- Company is already delinquent on SEC filings, signaling financial distress and potential Nasdaq non-compliance.
- The note contains full ratchet anti-dilution protection, meaning any future equity issuance at a lower price would further reset the conversion price downward.
- Pledge of 3.2 million KingsCrowd shares as collateral introduces cross-default risk if KingsCrowd's value declines.
