PodcastOne issues 275,000 shares to lenders in LiveOne debenture forbearance deal

Negative Impact 4 of 5 financing Written later

On October 29, 2026, PodcastOne, its majority parent LiveOne, and subsidiary guarantors entered into a Forbearance Agreement with holders of LiveOne's 11.75% senior secured convertible debentures. The lenders agreed not to exercise remedies for certain Events of Default that may have occurred, in exchange for cash payments, a fee in PodcastOne shares, and a new exit fee. The share issuance adds to the common stock outstanding, and the filing indicates the debt remains in default-related negotiations.
