Tokyo, Japan--(Newsfile Corp. - July 28, 2026) - TNL Mediagene (NASDAQ: TNMG) (the "Company"), a technology and digital media company providing AI-driven advertising, marketing technology, content commerce and data analytics solutions, and operating multi-language digital media brands across Asia, today announced that it has completed the full repayment of the senior convertible note issued to 3i, LP ("3i") in December 2025 and that the Company and 3i have mutually agreed to terminate the underlying securities purchase agreement in its entirety.

On July 8, 2026, the Company made the final payment for the senior convertible note issued to 3i on December 8, 2025 (the "Second Note") with the initial principal amount of $1,666,667.00 and the accrued interest of $150,000.03, and the Second Note was fully repaid on the same date. For the repayments of the Second Note, the Company has made payments in shares totaling 3,381,700 ordinary shares.

On July 23, 2026, the Company and 3i entered into a Termination Agreement pursuant to which the securities purchase agreement dated November 25, 2024, as amended (the "Note SPA"), was terminated in full, together with the related notes, registration rights agreement, subsidiary guarantee and irrevocable transfer agent instructions. The Termination Agreement was entered into by mutual written consent in accordance with the terms of the Note SPA and provides for mutual releases between the parties.

The Note SPA was established in connection with the Company's business combination and Nasdaq listing in December 2024, and the notes issued under it funded the Company's listing-related expenses and other expenses. The initial senior convertible note issued under the facility, in the principal amount of $4,722,222, was repaid in full on November 11, 2025. With the repayment of the Second Note and the termination of the Note SPA, the facility has served its purpose and no convertible notes remain outstanding under it, substantially reducing convertible-instrument-related dilution and overhang on the Company's ordinary shares.

"Completing this repayment and terminating the facility marks the conclusion of the financing structure we put in place to fund our public listing. We appreciate 3i's support through that period and are pleased to have concluded the arrangement on mutually agreed terms. Retiring this debt and simplifying our financing arrangements allows us to align our capital structure with our strategic direction as a technology business. We can now direct investor attention to the execution of our technology strategy rather than to financing mechanics," said Joey Chung , Co-Founder and President of TNL Mediagene.

The Company's ordinary share purchase agreement with Tumim Stone Capital, LLC and the related registration rights agreement remain in effect, and the warrant issued to 3i in December 2025 remains outstanding in accordance with its terms.
