- Consent Solicitation: Entered into a support agreement with holders representing approximately 55% of the 2023 Notes to amend the indenture, contingent on the closing of the Equity Offering.

Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary
Management intends to use the proceeds from the Term Loans to repay existing credit facilities and for working capital and general corporate purposes. The closing of the Solar Loan Agreement is subject to receiving at least $40.0 million in net proceeds from the concurrent Notes and Equity Offerings and the successful amendment of the 2023 Notes indenture.
Risks and Contingencies:
- Default Penalties: Upon an event of default, interest rates increase by 5.00%, and lenders may declare all amounts immediately due and payable.
- Prepayment Fees: Prepayment fees range from 3.00% (within one year) to 1.00% (after two years).
- Forward-Looking Statements: The filing contains forward-looking statements regarding the closing of offerings and future financial performance, which are subject to market uncertainties and risk factors detailed in the company's 2018 Form 10-K.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the closing status of the $25.0 million Equity Offering and $80.0 million Notes Offering, as the $45.0 million Term Loan funding is contingent upon these.
- Confirm the outcome of the Consent Solicitation for the 2023 Notes, specifically whether the required amendments to the indenture were approved.
- Review the preliminary Q2 2019 financial results (Exhibit 99.1) to assess current revenue trends against the $40.0 million and $75.0 million revenue thresholds required to extend the interest-only period of the new loan.
- Assess the dilution impact of the warrants issued to lenders and the new equity offering.
- Examine the specific financial covenants in the Solar Loan Agreement to understand liquidity requirements.
