Visionary Holdings Inc. Secures $450,000 in Debt Financing

TORONTO, Feb. 13, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Visionary Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: GV) (“Visionary” or the “Company”) announced today that in December 2025 it entered into a securities purchase agreement with an existing institutional investor (the “Investor”). In connection with the transaction, the Company issued to the Investor a senior secured convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $500,000 (the “December 2025 Note”) in exchange for gross proceeds of $450,000.

As previously disclosed, on January 31, 2025, the Company issued to the Investor a senior secured convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $1,500,000 (the “January 2025 Note”) pursuant to a securities purchase agreement dated October 2, 2024.

The December 2025 Note was issued pursuant to a separate securities purchase agreement and reflects updates to certain economic and conversion terms as compared to the January 2025 Note.

Pursuant to the December 2025 Note, the Company is required to repay all outstanding principal, accrued and unpaid interest and any applicable charges on the scheduled maturity date of December 11, 2026. Interest accrues at a rate equal to the greater of (i) the prime rate plus 4.5% per annum and (ii) 9% per annum, and is payable in arrears on each semi-annual interest date beginning June 11, 2026. Upon and during an event of default, the interest rate increases to 18% per annum.

The December 2025 Note is convertible at the Investor’s option, at any time after issuance, into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $1.44 per share, subject to customary adjustments and pricing mechanics as set forth in the agreement. The amount eligible for conversion includes the outstanding principal and accrued amounts, subject to the terms set forth in the December 2025 Note.

By comparison, the January 2025 Note became convertible only on and after the applicable “Initial Conversion Date” (as defined therein), had a conversion price of $2.25 per share and included pricing adjustments as set forth therein. The Company believes these updated conversion mechanics and pricing terms represent the principal material changes between the two senior secured convertible promissory note. The conversion of the December 2025 Note is subject to applicable Nasdaq listing rules.

The December 2025 Note was issued in a private placement transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
