Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On May 6, 2025, NextTrip, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Line of Credit Agreement (the “Line of Credit”) with Monaco Investment Partners II, LP (the “Lender”) providing the Company with a $3,000,000 revolving line of credit. The Line of Credit allows the Company to request advances thereunder from time to time until May 31, 2027 (the “Maturity Date”). Advances made under the Line of Credit bear simple interest at a rate of 12% per annum, calculated from the date of each respective advance. Accrued interest shall be payable on a monthly basis, no later than the 10th day of the subsequent month. The full outstanding principal balance, together with any accrued and unpaid interest, shall be due and payable in full by the Company on the Maturity Date. The Company may, at its option, prepay any borrowings under the Line of Credit, in whole or in part, at any time prior to the Maturity Date, without penalty.

 

The Company received an initial advance of $1,045,000 under the Line of Credit, which was used to repay (i) a $400,000 cash advance previously made by Donald P. Monaco Insurance Trust (the “Trust”) to the Company (ii) and all outstanding indebtedness under the terms of those two promissory notes (the “Notes”) entered into by and between NextTrip Holdings, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and the Trust on April 9, 2025, totaling $645,000.

 

Donald Monaco, Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors (“Board”), controls the Lender. Mr. Monaco is also trustee of the Trust. The Line of Credit, including the use of proceeds from the initial advance made thereunder for the repayment of the cash advance and Notes, was approved by the Audit Committee of the Board and the full Board, including the independent members thereof.

 

The foregoing summary of the Line of Credit does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the full text of the Line of Credit, a copy of which is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Report”) as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
