Venture Debt

In December 2020, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement, as amended in June 2022, August 2022, December 2022, April 2023, July 2023, November 2023, March 2024 and July 2024, with Silicon Valley Bank, a California corporation (the “Loan Agreement”) for a lending facility of up to $25.0 million. The Company received $5.0 million upon execution of the Loan Agreement which it repaid in July 2023, a $5.5 million term loan advance in July 2023 and a $7.0 million term loan advance in March 2024, for a total of $12.5 million principal amount outstanding at June 30, 2025. The Company no longer has the ability to draw down any additional loan advances. The term loan bears interest at an annual rate equal to the greater of the prime rate minus 0.25% or 8.00%. The Loan Agreement provides for interest-only payments until July 1, 2025, followed by 24 equal monthly payments of principal plus interest. The loan matures on July 1, 2027. In addition, the Company paid a fee of $0.1 million upon closing and is required to pay a fee of 3.5% of the aggregate amount of advances under the Loan Agreement at maturity. At its option, the Company may elect to prepay all or a portion of the outstanding advances by paying the principal balance, and all accrued and unpaid interest, and a prepayment premium. In connection with the Loan Agreement, the Company granted the lender a security interest in all of its personal property now owned or hereafter acquired, excluding intellectual property (but including the rights to payment and proceeds from the sale, licensing or disposition of intellectual property), and a negative pledge on intellectual property. The Loan Agreement also contains certain events of default, representations, warranties and non-financial covenants of the Company. If the Company fails to make payments when due or breaches any operational covenant or has any event of default, this could have a material adverse effect on its business and financial condition. The Company was in compliance with all covenants at June 30, 2025.

In conjunction with the Loan Agreement, in December 2020, the Company issued warrants to purchase 7,988 shares of common stock to the lender at a per share price of $6.87 with a maximum contractual term of 10 years and in July 2023, warrants to purchase 10,156 shares of common stock to the lender at a per share price of $7.50 with a maximum contractual term of 10 years. The warrants had a de minimis total relative fair value at the time of issuance. Pursuant to FASB ASC Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from

Equity and FASB ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, the warrants were classified as equity and were initially measured at fair value. Subsequent changes to fair value will not be recognized so long as the instrument continues to be equity classified.

Interest expense was $0.3 million and $0.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, and $0.3 million and $0.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. The effective rate on the Loan Agreement, including the amortization of the debt discount and issuance costs was 9.56% and 9.55%, respectively, at each of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Convertible Notes

In May 2022, the Company entered into an agreement with the existing investors of the Company to issue, and for the existing investors to purchase, the Convertible Notes for up to an aggregate of $30.0 million. The Convertible Notes bore interest at 5.0% per annum. The Convertible Notes become due on demand of the Convertible Noteholders one year from the date of issuance. On April 27, 2023, the Company amended the maturity dates for the Convertible Notes. On May 20, August 5 and December 23, 2022, the Company received $8.3 million, $5.0 million, and $16.7 million, respectively, in exchange for issuance of the Convertible Notes. Interest expense was $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. There was no interest expense recorded for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, as the Convertible Notes converted into share of common stock in March 2024 per the Merger (see discussion below and in Note 1).

The Convertible Notes contained mandatory conversion features whereby the total outstanding amount of principal and accrued and unpaid interest of the Convertible Notes automatically converted into shares of common stock upon certain qualified financings. The total outstanding amount of principal and accrued and unpaid interest of the Convertible Notes convert into shares of common stock at 90% of the purchase price of the mandatory conversion events.

The Company elected to account for the Convertible Notes at fair value where changes in fair value of the notes are measured through the condensed consolidated statements of operations until settlement. Subsequent to December 31, 2023 and per the Merger further discussed in Note 1, the Convertibles Notes converted into 1,433,410 shares of common stock. The Company recorded a gain on the change in fair value prior to the conversion of the Convertible Notes of $15.9 million in other income (expense), net during the six months ended June 30, 2024.
