- Maturity Date: Extended by approximately four months to April 30, 2027.
- Going Concern Waiver: Lenders waived the requirement for the Company to deliver fiscal year 2025 financial statements without a "going concern" qualification, effectively waiving related events of default.

Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary
Management indicated that the waiver of the "going concern" qualification requirement suggests the Company previously faced or anticipated such a qualification for its 2025 fiscal year. The filing includes standard disclaimers that representations and warranties in the amendment are for the benefit of the contracting parties and should not be relied upon as characterizations of the Company's actual condition by investors. The Company notes that non-GAAP financial measures are included in the referenced press release to assist in evaluating period-to-period results.
