Material Changes and Operational Strategy
Management evaluated options for the expiring lease and determined that an extension was in the Company's best interest to:
- Mitigate potential immediate operational disruptions.
- Avoid substantial costs associated with relocating to a new facility.
- Provide additional time to identify facilities better aligned with long-term needs.
The Company has also renegotiated and extended agreements with subtenants to offset a portion of rental costs during the extended term. The landlord has approved certain subleases for portions of the facility.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks

Key Facts for Investor Verification
- Verify the total cost impact of the lease extension, including Additional Rent and CAM charges, against the Company's current cash position.
- Confirm the extent of sublease income generated to offset the new rental obligations.
- Review the terms of the Senior Secured Convertible Notes to understand the dilution impact of the 627,011 shares recently issued.
- Assess the Company's plan for facility needs post-September 30, 2026, given the lack of renewal rights.
