Digital Brands Group received a notice of default on October 29, 2026 from the holder of its unsecured convertible note, which asserts the full note is immediately due at 120% of outstanding amounts. The holder says it will start legal proceedings unless it receives an acceptable extension proposal by the end of October 29, 2026, and the company disputes some of the assertions while evaluating its options.
Note principal is $3,529,412, issued July 23, 2026 under a Securities Purchase Agreement with Shakawe Capital LLC.
Holder cites a missed $1,000,000 partial payment due October 23, 2026 and a registration statement not filed by August 7, 2026.
Holder asserts the Mandatory Default Amount is 120% of outstanding principal, accrued interest and other amounts, with default interest of 20% per annum.
Company disputes certain assertions and says a material adverse effect on liquidity is possible if the note is accelerated or legal proceedings begin.
Digital Brands Group said on October 26, 2026 that it will keep its Nasdaq listing after a strategic review, and it will reassess a move to private ownership each month. It also raised its forecast for guaranteed cash flow from its government contract, which matters to shareholders because the filing gives the new forecast but no revenue, profit, or per-share results.

Digital Brands Group updated investors on a go-private review and on its U.S. Program contract. The board is evaluating an existing shareholder's proposal to acquire all outstanding common stock for $77.58 per share in cash, and a 60-day go-shop period ends October 5, 2026. The filing does not state a definitive agreement, so shareholders have no completed transaction terms yet.
