The advance sits under a loan agreement the two parties entered on September 14, 2026, tied to their proposed merger.\n\n## How the Onconetix Bridge Loan Works\n\nThe facility is an unsecured promissory note from Onconetix, as lender, to Realbotix LLC, as borrower, and is guaranteed by Realbotix Corp. The note is non-interest-bearing, and upon closing of the merger the note and all obligations under the loan documents will be automatically cancelled and discharged in full, without payment by Realbotix LLC or Realbotix Corp. If the merger agreement is terminated, interest will accrue on the outstanding principal amount at 12% per annum from the date of termination.\n\n\"Realbotix and Onconetix are committed to completing their merger transaction. This loan provides for greater commitment and certainty from both sides to complete the transaction,\" said Andrew Kiguel, CEO of Realbotix.\n\nThe additional draw increases the aggregate amount advanced under the facility from $2.5 million to $3 million. Realbotix LLC entered the bridge loan agreement with Onconetix for up to $5 million in working capital, with an initial draw of $2.5 million, according to [Stock Titan](https://www.tradingview.com/news/tradingview:efb67b9a4f03b:0-qumulusai-qmls-expands-lease-financing-to-123-6m/). The loan is non-interest bearing and automatically cancelled if the merger closes, or accrues 12% interest if terminated.\n\n## Realbotix's Run-Up to the Advance\n\nRealbotix reported consolidated revenue of $354,000 for the third quarter of 2026, a decline from the prior year, driven by a strategic shift in resource allocation and the wind-down of crypto-related operations, Stock Titan reported on August 12, 2026. On September 29, 2026, Realbotix appointed David Binkowski as fractional CMO to lead marketing for its Echo humanoid robots, which will launch for direct-to-consumer orders in coming weeks, Stock Titan reported. Realbotix announced on August 6, 2026 that one of its humanoid robots will be featured as a character in an upcoming Emmy-winning television series, Financial Post reported.\n\n## Equipment and Loan Deals Elsewhere\n\nQumulusAI expanded its equipment lease financing with TFC to approximately $123.6 million from $26.0 million to fund NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs, with no new equity issued, [TradingView](https://www.tradingview.com/news/tradingview:385d429246112:0-gyrodyne-extends-4-95-million-loan-through-letter-agreement-with-sig-cre-2023-venture/) reported on October 22, 2026.
