- Variable Schedule: The payment calculation has been revised to a variable payment schedule as detailed in the attached exhibits.
- Repayment Flexibility: The Company retains the option to satisfy installments via cash, Advance Repayment, or a combination of both.
- Procedural Updates: Provisions governing Advance Notices under the Standby Equity Purchase Agreement (SEPA) have been updated.
- Verify the specific terms of the "variable payment schedule" referenced in the Omnibus Amendment (Exhibit 4.3).
- Review the full text of the Standby Equity Purchase Agreement (Exhibit 10.1) to understand the "Advance Repayment" mechanism.
- Confirm the Company's current cash position to assess its ability to meet the deferred payments starting April 1, 2026.
- Check for any subsequent filings regarding the conversion of the $6.0 million notes into equity.
