Material Changes and Events
- Event of Default Notice: On June 30, 2015, the Company received a notice from Hercules stating an event of default has occurred under the Loan and Security Agreement.
- Cause of Default: The default is linked to a prior "Event of Default Redemption Notice" dated June 18, 2015, from MG Partners II Ltd. ("Magna").
- Current Status: Hercules has not yet accelerated the debt or demanded payment; the notice was transmitted for informational purposes only.
Management Commentary, Risks, and Contingencies
Management explicitly disagrees with Magna's claims that an event of default has occurred. The Company asserts that no default exists or is continuing and considers Magna's demand for payment invalid. The Company has invited Magna to rescind its Notice of Default. The primary risk is the potential acceleration of debt obligations if the dispute is not resolved in the Company's favor.
