On February 26, 2024, the Rekor Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing that it intends to redeem, on March 4, 2024 (the “Redemption Date”), all $12,500,000 aggregate principal amount of the outstanding senior secured notes (the “Senior Secured Notes”) issued on January 18, 2023. On the Redemption Date, the Company will pay the applicable early redemption price equal to 115% of the principal amount of such Senior Secured Notes and accrued and unpaid interest on such Senior Secured Notes to the Redemption Date.
Upon payment in full on the Redemption Date (the “Redemption Payment”), interest on the Senior Secured Notes will cease to accrue on and after the Redemption Date.

Following the payment of the Redemption Payment on the Redemption Date, there will be no Senior Secured Notes that remain outstanding. The Company has distributed a notice of redemption to all noteholders.
A copy of the press release issued by the Company announcing its planned redemption of the Senior Secured Notes on March 4, 2024 is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1, and is incorporated herein by reference.
Forward-Looking Statements
This Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of U.S. federal securities laws. Such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the expectations, hopes, beliefs, intentions, plans, prospects or strategies of the Company. Any statements contained herein that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. In addition, any statements that refer to projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intends,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “would” and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. The forward-looking statements contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K are based on certain assumptions and analyses made by the management of the Company in light of their respective experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments and their potential effects on the Company as well as other factors they believe are appropriate in the circumstances. There can be no assurance that future developments affecting the Company will be those anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond the control of the parties) or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of the assumptions being made prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements. The Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.
