NextNRG CEO exchanges $7 million of debt and fees for Series D preferred stock
NextNRG, Inc. closed a debt exchange on November 3, 2026, in which CEO Michael D. Farkas exchanged $7,000,000 of notes, interest and guarantee fees for 7,000 shares of newly designated Series D Convertible Voting Preferred Stock. The company says this reduces indebtedness and supports its efforts to meet Nasdaq's $2.5 million stockholders' equity requirement, but the filing states that the exchange alone does not satisfy that requirement. The Series D shares accrue an 18% annual cumulative dividend, are convertible into common stock at an initial $2.20 price, and carry voting rights, which may dilute common shareholders.
Key points
- Exchange covered $3,629,924 in note principal, $2,749,169 in accrued interest and $620,907 in guarantee fees, with the closing on November 3, 2026
- 7,000 Series D shares carry an initial stated value of $1,000 per share, with a cumulative dividend of 18% a year compounding monthly
- Initial conversion price is $2.20 per share; conversion and voting are capped at 1,684,224 shares, or 9.99%, until the Cap Release Date
- Nasdaq requires at least $2.5 million in stockholders' equity; the exchange alone does not satisfy that requirement, and the company awaits a Nasdaq Hearings Panel decision
