Material Changes
The primary material change involves the extension of terms for potential future securities issuances:
- Extension of Issuance Period: The deadline for the Company to elect to issue First Additional Securities and Second Additional Securities was extended from June 30, 2022, to March 31, 2023.
- Triggering Event Definition: The "First Additional Securities Triggering Event" is defined as the full approval of the product Libervant by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for sale in the United States, including market access.
- Holder Rights: Holders retain the right, but not the obligation, to purchase the First and Second Additional Securities upon the occurrence of the triggering event.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks

The primary contingency identified is the regulatory approval of Libervant by the FDA, which serves as the trigger for potential additional capital obligations under the amended agreements. No unusual items were reported in this filing.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the current status of the FDA application for Libervant to assess the likelihood of the triggering event occurring by the new March 31, 2023 deadline.
- Review the full text of the Fifth Supplemental Indenture and Amendment No. 2 to the Purchase Agreement (Exhibits 4.1 and 10.1) to understand the specific terms and potential dilution of the Additional Securities.
- Confirm the Company's current cash position and liquidity status in the most recent 10-Q or 10-K to evaluate its ability to manage operations without triggering the additional securities issuance.
