- Cost of Forbearance: A one-time, non-refundable forbearance fee of $100,000 is payable upon the Maturity Date or a termination event, unless all other obligations are paid in full by the Maturity Date.
- Refinancing Status: The company has delivered two bona fide term sheets from financial institutions for a potential refinancing transaction by the August 15, 2025 Maturity Date.

Material Changes and Corporate Actions

The reverse stock split is explicitly intended to bring the company into compliance with Nasdaq's minimum bid price requirement. The filing includes standard forward-looking statements cautioning that actual results may differ due to risks outlined in previous 10-K and 10-Q filings, including the uncertainty of completing the refinancing.
