Material Changes and Events
On March 27, 2026, the company entered into a Forbearance and Amendment Agreement following previously disclosed Events of Default. A critical milestone required the company to provide a written repayment plan satisfactory to the lender by April 9, 2026. On April 13, 2026, the lender issued a Default Notice stating the company failed to satisfy this milestone. While the lender acknowledged receipt of term sheets, they determined these did not constitute a satisfactory plan. This failure constitutes a "Forbearance Default," entitling the lender to terminate the forbearance period and accelerate all outstanding obligations.
Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary
Management is evaluating alternatives to address outstanding obligations, including potential refinancing, capital-raising, and other strategic transactions. The lender has not yet elected to terminate the Forbearance Period but has reserved all rights. The filing highlights significant risks, including the possibility that the lender will exercise remedies, the company may be unable to obtain alternative financing, and the uncertainty regarding the company's ability to continue as a going concern.
