As previously reported by Current Report on Form 8-K on August 14, 2024, Rekor Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Pre-Paid Advance Agreement (the “PPA”) with YA II PN, Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempt limited company (the “Investor”), an affiliate of Yorkville Advisors Global, LP. In accordance with the terms of the PPA, the Investor advanced to the Company a pre-paid advance of $15,000,000 (the “Pre-Paid Advance”).
