- Related Party Transactions: A special committee of the board negotiated these deals due to the involvement of CPF affiliates.

Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the exact post-transaction stockholders' equity balance to confirm Nasdaq compliance.
- Review the full text of the Debt Exchange Agreement and Purchase Agreement (Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2) for specific covenants and default provisions.
- Assess the dilution impact of the warrants and the potential in-kind dividend issuance on existing common shareholders.
- Confirm the status of the $60 million remaining tranche and the specific conditions required for future closings.
- Monitor the Company's ability to service the high dividend rates (13.5% to 19.5%) on the new preferred stock if cash becomes available.
