Filing Type: Form 8-K (Current Report)
Date of Report: December 22, 2025

Key Financial Metrics
This filing does not provide standard financial metrics such as revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, or total debt. The only specific financial figure disclosed relates to a surety funding event:
- Surety Funds Advanced: Approximately $14 million advanced by Berkshire Hathaway Specialty Insurance Company as of December 22, 2025.
- Total Surety Facility: Up to $30 million available under the General Indemnity Agreement (GIA).
- Reimbursement Obligation: The Company is obligated to indemnify and reimburse the Surety for the advanced funds.
Material Changes
The filing discloses a material event regarding the advancement of surety funds rather than a change in historical financial performance. The key change is the activation of a $14 million advance under the GIA to ensure the payment of bonded construction contract obligations and continued project progress. This event triggers an immediate obligation for the Company to reimburse the Surety.
Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary
Management Actions: The Company is actively working with Callodine Commercial Finance, LLC (Agent) and lenders under the Credit Agreement (dated September 30, 2024, as amended) to determine the impact of the surety fund advancement on the existing credit facility. They are also negotiating for the advancement of additional surety funds and a long-term financing arrangement.
Risks and Contingencies:
- Financing Uncertainty: There can be no assurance that a resolution for additional surety funds or a long-term financing arrangement will be reached.
- Credit Agreement Impact: The advancement of funds may impact the terms or status of the existing Credit Agreement, though the specific impact is currently being determined.
