Painful but refreshing for a junior in such a situation to deliver straight talk.
Those directors aren't taking cash fees - but still need to account for some fees as subordinated loans with the company (presumably subordinated behind all other debts so they won't damage future solvency).
The reference of needing to deal with this situation at the next issue is very true - and simply means they would need to be converting loans to equity at the same price as the next issue to save cost of independent valuations and fairness reports etc.
