Current report

We offer content across verticals so there is something for everyone. The power of our network and brands is evident through our shows which consistently rank in the top 100 on the Apple Charts.

For example, if you are listening to a PodcastOne true crime show, you will likely hear a promo about another true crime show from PodcastOne.

Current wording

On May 19, 2025, we and LiveOne entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) with certain institutional investors (each, a “Purchaser” and collectively, the “Purchasers”), pursuant to which (i) LiveOne sold to the Purchasers our Original Issue Discount Senior Secured Convertible Debentures (the “Initial Debentures”) in an aggregate principal amount of $16,775,000 for an aggregate cash purchase price of $15,250,000, and (ii) if certain conditions are satisfied as set forth in the SPA, including at least one of the Conditions (as defined below), LiveOne may sell at its option to the Purchasers its additional Original Issue Discount Senior Secured Convertible Debentures in an aggregate principal amount of $11,000,000 on substantially the same terms as the Initial Debentures (the “Additional Debentures” and collectively with the Initial Debentures, the “Debentures”). The Debentures are convertible into shares of LiveOne’s common stock at the holder’s option at a conversion price of $21.00 per share, subject to certain customary adjustments such as stock splits, stock dividends and stock combinations. LiveOne may sell to the Purchasers the Additional Debentures if within 15 months of the Closing Date either of the following conditions have been satisfied during such 15-month period (the “Conditions”): (x) the VWAP (as defined in the SPA) of LiveOne’s common stock has been equal to or greater than $42.00 per share (subject to certain customary adjustments such as stock splits, stock dividends and stock combinations) for 30 consecutive trading days, or (y) Free Cash Flow (as defined in the SPA) has been equal to or greater to $3,000,000 for three consecutive fiscal quarters, and has increased in each of the foregoing quarters from the immediately preceding fiscal quarter. The Initial Debentures mature on May 19, 2028 and accrue interest at 11.75% per year. Commencing with the calendar month of August 2025 (subject to the following sentence), the holders of the Initial Debentures will have the right, at their option, to require LiveOne to redeem an aggregate of up to $100,000 of the outstanding principal amount of the Debentures per month. Commencing from November 18, 2025, May 18, 2026 and May 18, 2027, the holders of the Initial Debentures will have the right, at their option, to require LiveOne to redeem an aggregate of up to $150,000, $250,000 and $300,000, respectively, of the outstanding principal amount of the Initial Debentures per month. In connection with the sale of the Debentures, LiveOne paid off all obligations owing under, and terminated, the 2025 Business Loan Agreement, and all related loan agreements.

Previous wording

LiveOne’s obligations under the Debentures have been guaranteed under a Subsidiary Guarantee, dated as of the Closing Date, by certain of its wholly owned subsidiaries, including our Company (collectively, the “Guarantors”). LiveOne’s obligations under the Debentures and the Guarantors’ obligations under the Subsidiary Guarantee are secured under a Security Agreement (the “Security Agreement”) entered into on the Closing Date among LiveOne, the Guarantors, certain Purchasers and JGB Collateral, LLC (the “Agent”) as agent for the Purchasers (the “Security Agreement”), by a lien on all of LiveOne’s and the Guarantors’ assets, including our assets, subject to certain exceptions.

Previous wording

On October 1, 2024, LiveOne announced an amended relationship with its largest OEM customer. The OEM customer will no longer subsidize LiveOne's products to some of its customers, however, LiveOne will offer all OEM customer vehicles in North America the opportunity to convert to become direct subscribers of LiveOne’s LiveOne music app. The direct subscription to the LiveOne app will allow such users for the first time to access their LiveOne music and LiveOne’s other service offerings directly across all of their devices. LiveOne’s music streaming button/icon, which allows users to directly connect their subscription to LiveOne, is expected to remain in the OEM customer’s music streaming services dashboard in perpetuity. The OEM customer will continue to pay LiveOne monthly for grandfathered vehicles for the term of the OEM license agreement. Accordingly, the change in LiveOne’s relationship with the OEM customer in October 2024 is likely to cause its liquidity and cash flows to fluctuate significantly beyond December 31, 2024, which may then have an impact on our liquidity and potentially cause our liquidity to fluctuate significantly beyond December 31, 2024. LiveOne’s liquidity will depend upon its ability to convert as many of the OEM drivers as possible to become direct subscribers of its LiveOne app and the OEM customer continuing to pay for any grandfather users, as well as LiveOne’s ability to enter into new B2B agreements to provide its services that could materially contribute to our liquidity and cash flows, which may then have an impact on our liquidity and potentially cause our liquidity to fluctuate significantly. In addition, LiveOne’s liquidity will depend on its ability to negotiate with its music labels, publishers and other partners to achieve flexibility in the terms of its license agreements to match our OEM driver conversions, which may then have an impact on our liquidity and potentially cause our liquidity to fluctuate significantly. Furthermore, LiveOne’s liquidity will be dependent on its ability to extend and/or refinance the terms of its senior secured line of credit and/or its ability to pay any amounts that LiveOne has agreed to pay under the SX Settlement Agreement, which may then have an impact on our liquidity and potentially cause our liquidity to fluctuate significantly.

Our long-term ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to increase revenue, reduce costs, achieve a satisfactory level of profitable operations, and/or obtain additional sources of suitable and adequate financing. Our ability to continue as a going concern is also dependent its ability to further develop and execute on our business plan. We may also have to reduce certain overhead costs through the reduction of salaries and other means and settle liabilities through negotiation. There can be no assurance that management’s attempts at any or all of these endeavors will be successful.
