Material Changes and Agreements
The company entered into an Amendment and Exchange Agreement and a Side Letter Agreement with FNL. Key changes include:
- Removal of Monthly Redemption: Provisions related to Monthly Redemption Amounts were removed from the debenture terms.
- Registration Statement Extension: The deadline to file a registration statement for the resale of shares (from debenture conversion, preferred stock conversion, and warrant exercise) was extended to August 29, 2025.

Outlook, Risks, and Contingencies
The filing highlights specific risks and contingencies associated with the new debt instrument:
- Default Provisions: Upon an event of default, the interest rate increases to 15% per annum, and the principal becomes immediately due and payable.
- Liquidity Constraints: The inability to prepay without consent and the potential redemption obligation upon future fundraising may impact the company's financial flexibility.
- Regulatory Timing: The company faces strict deadlines in late August and September 2025 to file and have declared effective a registration statement for the resale of securities.
