Material Changes Versus Prior Period
- Warrant Exercise Price Reduction: The Company amended Series A and Series B warrants issued in December 2022, lowering the exercise price from $1.04 per share to $0.50 per share. This affects approximately 5.5 million shares (3,475,916 Series A and 2,058,000 Series B).
- Liquidity Decline: Total cash decreased significantly from $28.7 million to $7.6 million year-over-year.
- Debt Reduction: The term note principal balance decreased by approximately $9.3 million, from $22.4 million to $13.1 million.
- Share Count Increase: Common shares outstanding increased by approximately 13.7 million shares (from 8.7 million to 22.4 million), likely due to the public offering in December 2022 and subsequent issuances.
