ION Video Ltd (ASX:IOV)
ION is Debt Free
Melbourne, Australia, 18 May 2026: ION Video Limited (ION or the Company) advises that it has exercised its right to convert the remaining $2.65 million of convertible notes issued on 12 June 2025 (Convertible Notes) into fully paid shares in accordance with their terms.
Following completion of the conversion, the Company has no outstanding debt.
Highlights
- ION has exercised its right to convert $2.65 million in Convertible Notes into equity upon the first available conversion date, eliminating all Company debt.
- The Convertible Notes were originally subscribed for by Brent Jones and Anthony Baker prior to their appointment as executive directors.
- The conversion results in the issue of new shares to noteholders in accordance with the agreed terms of the Convertible Notes.
- The conversion eliminates a further 12 months of interest obligations, saving the Company $708,883 that would otherwise have been capitalised into an additional 7.09m shares under the terms of the Convertible Notes.
- ION now has no outstanding debt, is funded until at least April–June 2027 (based on current expenditure rates) and focused entirely on its commercialisation strategy.
Background and Context
The Convertible Notes were issued in June 2025 during a period where the Company required funding to support ongoing operations.
At the time Brent Jones and Anthony Baker were investors in the Company and had no operational involvement. Since that time, both have assumed executive director roles.
The Convertible Notes had a 2-year maturity and bore interest at a rate of 20% per annum. Under their terms, the Company was entitled to convert the outstanding principal amount together with any accrued and capitalised interest into Shares at fixed conversion prices determined at the time of issue, following the first anniversary of their issue.
The conversion enhances the Company's balance sheet, simplifies its capital structure and eliminates future interest obligations associated with the Convertible Notes.
