- Financing Condition: The amendment is contingent upon Melt consummating a Qualifying Financing of at least $15,000,000 from third-party investors by August 31, 2022.
Material Changes and Unusual Items

- Extension of Maturity: The repayment deadline was extended to September 1, 2026.
- Redefined Material Adverse Effect: The definition now includes a specific clinical trigger: a Material Adverse Effect will be deemed to have occurred if Phase 2 study data for MELT-300 fails to demonstrate the benefit of the combination drug versus its individual components.
