Loop Media, Inc. (the "Company"), a Nevada-based provider of help supply services, has disclosed a significant financial challenge in a recent SEC 8-K filing. On Monday, the Company reported receiving an acceleration notice from its senior lender concerning a revolving loan facility. The notice demands full payment of the outstanding amount by the previously set deadline of November 8, 2024.

The situation arose after the Company incurred indebtedness that was not subordinated to the senior lender's debt, as per the lender's requirements. Despite ongoing negotiations to resolve the issue and the lender's oral agreement to suspend the payment demand to facilitate further discussions, there has been no formal written confirmation of this suspension.

The Company has maintained regular payments to the senior lender according to the loan terms and intends to continue doing so. However, failing to reach an agreement with the senior lender could perpetuate the default state, potentially leading to the senior lender exercising its rights as the senior secured lender. This could further trigger cross-defaults under other loan agreements, risking acceleration of those debts as well.

The Company, previously known as Interlink Plus, Inc., is headquartered in Burbank, CA, and operates under the trading symbol LPTV, although it is not currently listed on any stock exchange.

The financial strain detailed in the SEC filing underscores the importance of maintaining clear communication and adhering to the terms of financial agreements. The information reported is based on a press release statement.

In other recent news, Loop Media is facing potential default on a senior loan due to incurring debt not subordinated to the senior lender's debt. The company is actively negotiating to resolve the situation. Concurrently, Loop Media has undergone significant executive changes, including the appointment of Ari Olgun as Interim CFO.

The company also secured $700,000 through a future receipts sale to CFG Merchant Solutions and a $525,000 subordinated loan from Agile Capital Funding.

Loop Media's shareholders have approved an increase in authorized shares from 150,000,000 to 225,000,000, providing the company with more flexibility for future corporate endeavors.

Unfortunately, Loop Media reported a 26% drop in fiscal Q2 2024 revenue, totaling $4 million, and a decrease in gross profit margin to 10.4% from 29.4% in the previous year.

Despite these financial challenges, the company extended its loan agreement with GemCap Solutions to July 29, 2025, and added its subsidiary, Retail Media TV, as a co-borrower.

In response to the delisting of Loop Media's common stock from the NYSE American due to low selling price, the company has begun trading on the OTC Pink Market. However, Loop Media has been granted until October 23, 2025, by the NYSE American LLC to meet the continued listing standards. Amidst these recent developments, Loop Media announced plans to introduce several Free Ad-Supported Streaming TV (FAST) channels.
