Arrive AI Inc. triggered a floor price provision under its Securities Purchase Agreement with Streeterville Capital, LLC, as its stock VWAP fell below $0.25 for five consecutive days. To mitigate mandatory monthly cash repayments of $962,500 plus interest on existing notes, the Company entered into Pre-Paid Purchase No. 5, receiving $100,000 in exchange for a promissory note with an $108,000 principal balance and an 8% annual interest rate. This transaction reduced the applicable floor price from $0.25 to $0.10 per share and included a waiver allowing Streeterville to convert debt into equity during the standstill period without meeting specific price conditions. Additionally, on August 14, 2026, Arrive AI implemented a reduction in workforce affecting approximately 20% of its employees, resulting in the forfeiture of roughly 450,000 unvested restricted stock units and expected annualized cost savings of $1,524,000.
