Rapid Dose Announces Payment in Shares for Quarterly Interest on Secured Debt
Rapid Dose’s routine interest‑payment share issuance underscores ongoing dilution pressure as debt terms remain burdensome.

- On April 6 2026 Rapid Dose Therapeutics announced it will issue 1,263,001 common shares to satisfy $138,931.71 of accrued interest on its amended and restated secured convertible notes (dated Dec 1 2025).
- The deemed issue price is $0.11 per share (CSE closing price on March 31 2026); shares are expected to be delivered no later than April 15 2026 and will be subject to a four‑month‑plus‑one‑day hold period (expiring early August 2026).
- The notes bear 18% interest per annum, compounded monthly, with quarterly interest payable in common shares. Maturity of the $3,084,445 of promissory notes was previously extended to November 30 2026; associated warrants (15,422,225) were likewise extended to that date with an exercise price of $0.16.
- The company retains the right to prepay the notes with ten days’ notice without additional premium or bonus.
- The announcement follows the exact mechanics already disclosed in prior quarterly interest‑payment releases (e.g., Jan 5 2026 and Oct 2 2025).
- No new information regarding the underlying debt terms, maturity date, or conversion price is introduced; the share issuance size is consistent with the 18% coupon applied to the outstanding principal.
- Consequently, the news does not alter the company’s fundamental outlook beyond the anticipated dilution that has been recurring each quarter. It represents an expected, routine event rather than a material surprise.
