Material Changes Versus the Prior Comparable Period
- The company added substantial short-term and secured debt, including a $6.0 million convertible note and a $7.97 million term loan.

- The company issued common stock, Series B preferred stock, warrants, and additional common shares as consideration for financing-related waivers.
- The company designated 1.5 million shares of non-voting Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. The preferred stock carries no dividends, is not exchange-listed, and has conversion restrictions and share caps.
Guidance, Outlook, Risks, Contingencies, and Unusual Items
- The acquisition includes contingent earn-out shares based on 2024 unit sales and the company’s volume-weighted average stock price for the 10 trading days ending December 31, 2024.
- Additional earn-out shares may be issued if at least 2,400 units are sold through the business-to-business channel, with total earn-out shares capped at 22,665,681.
- Shares issued at closing and any earn-out shares are subject to transfer and resale restrictions until October 18, 2024.

- The December 2023 noteholder and related equity-line investor waived restrictions that otherwise could have prevented the new note and credit agreement. In exchange, the company issued 250,000 common shares and agreed to deliver two company products by March 15, 2024.
- Near-term refinancing and repayment risk is significant because substantial term-loan payments are due by February 23, April 30, and May 31, 2024, with the remaining balance due June 28, 2024.
