Material Changes Versus the Prior Comparable Period

- A substantial portion of the proceeds is restricted and may not be released unless the investor exercises its discretion on the specified dates.
- The investor retains significant control over access to funds and may accelerate installment payments under the original note until the stated conditions are met.
