Filing Type: Form 8-K (Current Report)
Date of Report: July 17, 2026

Key Financial Metrics
This filing does not contain revenue, profit, cash flow, margin, or liquidity data. The report focuses exclusively on capital structure negotiations. The following debt instruments are referenced:
- 7.00% Convertible Senior Secured Second Lien PIK Toggle Notes due 2030 (2030 Notes)
- 0% Convertible Senior Notes due 2027 (2027 Notes)
Material Changes and Events
The Company announced it is engaged in private discussions with holders of the 2030 Notes regarding a potential amendment to the indenture. The proposed changes include:
- Removing restrictions on the Company's ability to repurchase or exchange the 2027 Notes for cash and/or equity.
- Extending the make-whole period for calculating interest adjustments on 2030 Note conversions from October 15, 2028, to January 15, 2029.
These amendments are contingent upon receiving consents from holders representing a majority of the principal amount of the 2030 Notes outstanding. No supplemental indenture has been entered into as of the filing date.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
Outlook: The Company states there can be no assurances that the necessary consents will be obtained or that a supplemental indenture will be executed. If an agreement is reached, a subsequent Form 8-K will be filed; no further disclosure is expected if the agreement fails.
Risks and Contingencies: The filing includes standard forward-looking statement disclaimers. Actual results may differ materially due to the Company's ability to obtain holder consents and other factors detailed in the Company's 2025 Form 10-K and Q1 2026 Form 10-Q.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the outcome of the private discussions with 2030 Note holders in future filings.
- Monitor for a subsequent Form 8-K confirming the entry into a supplemental indenture.
- Review the Company's most recent Form 10-K and 10-Q for detailed risk factors and current liquidity positions not included in this report.
- Confirm the specific terms of the 2027 Notes and 2030 Notes in the original indentures to understand the impact of the proposed amendments.
