Key Financial Metrics
This filing does not report revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, debt, or liquidity metrics. It focuses exclusively on the terms of a new financing facility.

- Counterparty: B. Riley Principal Capital II, LLC.

Material Changes
The primary material change is the execution of a Common Stock Purchase Agreement and a related Registration Rights Agreement. This establishes an "at-the-market" style facility allowing the Company to sell shares at its sole discretion, subject to limitations. The Company is under no obligation to sell any securities under this agreement.
Outlook, Risks, and Unusual Items
Management Commentary: The agreement provides the Company with flexible access to capital markets. Sales are solely at the option of the Company.
Regulatory Status: The securities are being offered and sold in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 as an exemption from registration. The counterparty is an accredited investor.
Conditions: The Company's right to direct purchases is contingent upon the SEC declaring a registration statement effective for the resale of shares by B. Riley Principal Capital II.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the effectiveness of the registration statement required to activate the purchase obligation.
- Review the specific limitations on share sales contained in the full text of the Purchase Agreement (Exhibit 10.1).
- Monitor the Company's discretion to issue shares, as this could lead to dilution of existing shareholders.
- Confirm the current trading volume and VWAP of GCTS to estimate potential issuance pricing.
