The FPA Amendment provide two settlement options whereby the 2024 FPA can be settled either at maturity if shares of the Company’s common stock are trading above $2.00 per share (the “Maturity Settlement Scenario”) or at the Company’s request for a prepayment short-fall whereby the Company requests Meteora to sell shares (the “Prepayment Shortfall Scenario”). The Second FPA Amendment also provides a Maturity Settlement Scenario and a Prepayment Shortfall Scenario, with a revised definition for the Prepayment Shortfall Scenario (see Note 14).

The fair value of the 2024 FPA was re-measured to fair value at each subsequent reporting period and immediately prior to its modification in December 2024 and the fair value of the Amended 2024 FPA was measured at fair value immediately subsequent to the modification in December 2024 and each subsequent reporting period utilizing a Monte Carlo simulation model that applies a probability of occurrence to the present value of each settlement scenario. as follows:
