Key Financial Metrics and Agreements

- Waiver of Defaults: On January 3, 2025, the Company and its Buyers entered into Limited Waivers to address defaults under the Securities Purchase Agreement, Registration Rights Agreement (RRA), and promissory notes issued on July 31, 2024. These defaults arose from previously disclosed misstated financial statements.
