- Net Proceeds: Approximately $96.7 million after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions, and estimated expenses.
- Over-Allotment Option: Underwriters granted a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional $15.0 million of Notes.

Material Changes
The primary material change is the creation of a new direct financial obligation through the issuance of the Notes. The filing does not provide comparative financial data (revenue, profit, or cash flow) for prior periods as this is a transactional report rather than a periodic financial statement.
Outlook, Management Commentary, and Risks
- Use of Proceeds: Net proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes, including the acquisition of investments, origination of loans, and working capital.
- Conversion Terms: Holders may convert Notes into common stock, cash, or a combination at the Company's election. Conversion is subject to ownership limitations.
- Repurchase Rights: In the event of a "fundamental change," holders may require the Company to repurchase the Notes at 100% of the principal amount plus accrued interest.
- Redemption: The Company may not redeem the Notes prior to the maturity date.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the final exercise of the $15.0 million over-allotment option by the underwriters.
- Review the Supplemental Indenture (Exhibit 4.1) for specific covenants and ownership limitation thresholds.
- Confirm the actual cash flow impact of the $96.7 million net proceeds on the balance sheet in the next quarterly report.
- Monitor the Company's stock price relative to the $5.34 conversion price to assess conversion likelihood.
