Material Changes

Outlook, Risks, and Contingencies
The agreement is contingent on the Company incurring Growth Spend and generating Reference Income. The obligation to pay Investors is performance-based, tied to the achievement of a 16% IRR. The filing notes that the full text of the Agreement, containing standard representations, warranties, and covenants, will be filed as an exhibit to the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. The filing text does not provide specific liquidity figures or debt balances outside of this new obligation.
Investor Verification Checklist

- Review the 10-K filing for the full text of the Agreement to assess termination rights and specific covenants.
- Monitor future 10-Q filings to track the Company's actual Growth Spend and the resulting payment obligations to Investors.
