- Maturity Date: September 19, 2025.
- Repayment Terms: 40 weekly installments of $67,500.
- Prepayment Terms: $2.4 million if prepaid on or before January 13, 2025; $2.7 million thereafter.

Material Changes and Covenants
The Company has incurred new indebtedness secured by substantially all assets. The agreement includes restrictive covenants requiring lender consent for incurring additional indebtedness or liens. The loan accelerates upon customary events of default, including failure to pay, insolvency proceedings, or a change of control.
Outlook, Risks, and Contingencies
- Shareholder Approval: The Company must call a special meeting of shareholders by March 13, 2025, to obtain approval for the transaction.
- Ownership Limitation: Conversion and exercise are capped if they would cause the Lender to beneficially own more than 9.99% of outstanding shares.
- Registration Rights: The Company must file a resale shelf registration statement within 31 calendar days of closing.
- Risk of Dilution: Significant dilution potential exists if the loan converts or default warrants are exercised, particularly given the discounted conversion price post-May 2025.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the Company's current cash position and ability to meet the $67,500 weekly payment schedule.
- Confirm the status of the special shareholder meeting scheduled for no later than March 13, 2025.
- Assess the impact of the 9.99% beneficial ownership cap on the Lender's ability to convert or exercise warrants.
- Review the Company's existing debt load to understand the implications of the lien on "substantially all assets."
- Monitor the stock price relative to the $5.92 conversion/exercise price and the potential for the discounted conversion rate after May 5, 2025.
