Item 1.01. |
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On June 2, 2023, Digital World Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), issued a promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of $2,000,000 (the “$2 Million Note”) to Renatus Advisors LLC (the “Renatus”), of which Eric Swider, Interim Chief Executive Officer and Director of the Company, is a founder and partner and another promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of $10,000,000 (the “$10 Million Note,” together with the $2 Million Note, the “Notes”) to Renatus. The proceeds of the Notes will be used to pay costs and expenses in connection with completing an initial business combination (the “Business Combination”).
Each of the Notes bears no interest and is repayable in full upon the earlier of (i) the date on which the Company consummates its Business Combination and (ii) the date that the winding up of the Company is effective. At the election of Renatus and upon the approval of the Company’s stockholders and the approval of the requisite number of institutional investors, with which the Company entered into certain securities purchase agreements on December 4, 2021, up to the full amounts payable under the Notes may be converted into units of the Company (the “Conversion Units”) at any time on or prior to the applicable maturity date of the Notes with the total Conversion Units so issued shall be equal to: (x) the portion of the principal amount of the respective Note being converted divided by (y) the conversion price of ten dollars ($10.00), rounded up to the nearest whole number of units.
The issuances of the Notes were made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Notes, a copy of which are attached as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

As previously disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company on November 30, 2022 with the Securities and Exchange Commission, at a special meeting of the stockholders of the Company held on November 22, 2022, the stockholders approved an amendment to the amended and restated certificate of incorporation of the Company.
