- Guaranteed Proceeds Mechanism: The Company's subsidiary, Slinger, must pay the difference between the $6 million Guaranteed Amount and the actual proceeds realized by Lenders from selling converted shares and exercised warrants within 10 business days of the six-month anniversary of the S-1 effectiveness date.

Outlook, Risks, and Contingencies
- Shareholder Approval: The Company must obtain shareholder approval to issue shares below the Nasdaq "Minimum Price" to enable the $0.16 warrant exercise price. If not obtained by May 3, 2024, the Company must call a meeting every 60 days until approval is secured.
- Registration Statement: The Company agreed to file a Form S-1 within 5 business days of February 21, 2024, and use best efforts to have it declared effective within 30 calendar days.
- Force Majeure Contingency: If the Note is not fully converted prior to the six-month anniversary of the S-1 effectiveness date due to a Force Majeure Event, the Company must repurchase the Note and Warrants by paying the difference between the Guaranteed Amount and Realized Amount in cash.
- Liquidity Risk: The requirement to fund a $2 million escrow account within 10 weeks and potential cash payments to meet the $6 million guaranteed proceeds target pose significant liquidity obligations.
