JGB Debentures

On May 24, 2024, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain accredited investors (the “Holders”) and JGB Collateral LLC, as collateral agent for the Holders, for the sale by the Company in a private placement (the “JGB Debentures Offering”) of:

38,000 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, and
Senior Secured Convertible Debentures in the aggregate principal amount of $20.0 million (the “Debentures”), for an aggregate purchase price of $18.0 million.

The closing of the JGB Debentures Offering occurred on May 24, 2024. In connection with the closing of the JGB Debentures Offering, the Company received net proceeds of approximately $16.3 million, after payment of placement agent fees, and other offering expenses. The Company used the proceeds received to fully redeem the outstanding balance due under the High Trail Note of approximately $17.6 million, as amended (see “High Trail Agreement & Amendment” below).

Debentures

The Debentures have an aggregate face value of $20.0 million and were issued with an original issue discount of $2.0 million. The Debentures mature on May 24, 2026, and have an interest rate of 11.0% per annum payable monthly on the last business day of each calendar month. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company paid the Holders $1.4 million in interest, which is included in the change in fair value within other income (expense), net.

The Company recorded the Debentures at their fair value at issuance of $19.9 million, per the fair value option under ASC 825 (refer to Note 4 (Investments and Fair Value Measurements)) and they will be measured on a recurring basis and adjusted through other income and expense, net. The Shares were recorded at $0 in common stock and additional paid in capital, which represents the residual amount after allocation of proceeds to the Debentures at fair value. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recognized an initial loss on the issuance of the Debentures of $1.9 million for the difference between the fair value of the Debentures and proceeds from the transaction, which was recorded in other income (expense) on the consolidated statement of operations. The Company incurred debt issuance costs of $1.7 million related to the JGB Debentures Offering, which was charged to interest expense and recorded in other income (expense) on the consolidated statement of operations.

The Holders of the Debentures requested that the Company redeem up to $1.0 million per calendar month of its Debentures and may request redemption up to $0.5 million per calendar month beginning in January 2025 to July 2025, and up to $1.4 million from August 2025 onward. The table below shows the amount of potential redemptions each year until the maturity of the Debentures as of December 31, 2025.

The Company may redeem the Debentures, subject to certain Equity Conditions (as defined in the Debentures), at any time after August 2025 by paying an amount equal to the entire outstanding principal amount of the Debenture, plus all accrued and unpaid interest, plus the applicable Company Redemption Premium (as defined in the Debentures, the “Premium”) plus any other amounts due and payable under the Debentures. The Premium is an amount equal to 112% of the principal amount of the Debenture if the redemption is prior to the first anniversary of the original issue date,

or 106% of the principal amount of the Debenture if the redemption is on or after the first anniversary of the original issue date. No partial redemptions by the Company are permitted.

At the election of the holder, each Debenture is convertible, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time at a conversion price of $16.20 per share of common stock. The conversion price is subject to adjustment for stock dividends, stock splits, and certain other corporate events. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will not effect any conversion under the Debentures to the extent that such conversion would cause the holder’s beneficial ownership of the Company’s common stock to exceed 4.99% (or 9.99% at the election of the holder) of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock.

Under the Debentures, the Company must at all times maintain a cash or restricted investments balance equal to the lesser of (a) $11.0 million and (b) the then outstanding principal balance of the Debentures, in a blocked account. In addition, for as long as any portion of the Debentures remain outstanding, the Company is generally restricted from: incurring indebtedness; granting or suffering liens on any of its property or assets; amending its organizational documents; repurchasing any of its securities; paying dividends; selling, disposing, licensing or leasing its assets other than in the ordinary course; and other customary restrictive covenants. The Debentures also set forth certain customary events of default after which the Debentures may be declared immediately due and payable, including certain types of bankruptcy or insolvency events of default involving the Company and its subsidiaries, and in the event of a change of control or fundamental transaction as defined in the Debentures.

As of December 31, 2025, the Company had $10.3 million of principal outstanding, including $0.5 million of the “Fill-Up Amount” (as defined in the JGB Amendment (as defined below)) that was adjusted to the principal outstanding balance as of December 31, 2024. The Fill-Up Amount represents the shares issuable to adjust for stock price volatility between the date of the settlement agreement and the effective date of the resale registration statement registering such shares for issuance. The Fill-Up Amount shall be payable by adding each Holder’s pro rata share of the Fill-Up Amount to its Debenture. Refer to Note 4 (Investments and Fair Value Measurements), for fair value measurements and additional discussion. The activity for the year ended December 31, 2025 was as follows:

JGB Amendment

On December 31, 2024, the Company entered into an amendment of the Debentures (the “JGB Amendment”) with the Holders thereof. Pursuant to the JGB Amendment, the parties agreed that (i) no amortization payment would be paid in December 2024; (ii) the maximum monthly amortization payments due between January 2025 and July 2025 would be reduced from $1.0 million per month to $0.5 million per month; (iii) the maximum monthly amortization payments due from August 2025 through repayment in full of the principal aggregate amount would be $1.4 million per month; (iv) the conversion price of the Debentures would be reduced from $120.00 to $16.20; and (v) the Debentures would become non-callable by the Company until August 2025. As consideration for the JGB Amendment, the Company issued to the Holders approximately 83,333 shares of its common stock (the “Private Placement Shares”).

The Company accounted for the JGB Amendment as a debt extinguishment and recognized a loss on the extinguishment of the convertible debentures payable of $7.3 million, which was recorded in other income (expense) on the consolidated statement of operations as of December 31, 2024.

On January 3, 2025, the Holders had converted $0.4 million principal into approximately 22,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, at the conversion price of $16.20 per share (as adjusted for the reverse stock split).

High Trail Agreement & Amendment

The Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with High Trail Special Situations LLC (the “Purchaser” or “High Trail”) on October 11, 2023, pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell, for an aggregate $80.0 million in gross proceeds:

(i)
in a registered offering by the Company directly to the Purchaser (the “Offering”)
(a)
$45.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior secured convertible notes payable due 2025 (the “Registered Notes”) initially convertible by the Purchaser at a price of $171.60 into 0.3 million shares of the Company’s common stock and
(b)
warrants to purchase up to 0.4 million shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $191.40 per share (the “Registered Warrants”), and
(ii)
in a concurrent private placement to the Purchaser (the “Private Placement”), $35.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior secured convertible notes payable due 2025 initially convertible at a price of $171.60 into 0.2 million shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Private Placement Notes” and together with the Registered Notes, the “Notes”).

The Company also granted the Purchaser an Option to purchase up to an additional $25.0 million aggregate principal amount of Private Placement Notes, in their sole discretion, initially convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Subsequently Purchased Notes”) at a conversion price equal to $1,000 divided by a fraction (1) whose numerator is $1,000; and (2) whose denominator is the sum of (a) $0.09375 and (b) the greater of (x) the Nasdaq Minimum Price (as defined in Nasdaq Rule 5635(d)) on the date of the Purchase Agreement and (y) the Nasdaq Minimum Price (as defined in Nasdaq Rule 5635(d)) on the date of the issuance of the Subsequently Purchased Notes) Notice per the terms of the Notes and warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants” and together with the Registered Warrants, the “Warrants”) to purchase up to 0.1 million shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price calculated as the greater of (x) 115% of the Nasdaq Minimum Price on the date of the applicable Subsequently Purchased Securities Notice is delivered and (y) the Nasdaq Minimum Price on the date of signing the Purchase Agreement, per the terms, in a subsequent private placement on the same terms as the Notes and the Registered Warrants (any such subsequent private placement, a “Subsequent Private Placement”).

On February 27, 2024, the Company entered into a letter agreement and an Amendment to the Initial Registered Note (the “Note Amendment”), with the Purchaser of the High Trail Notes, which provided for, among other things, the following:

Reduction of the minimum available liquidity covenant from $50.0 million to $25.0 million;
Reduction of the restricted cash covenant from $35.0 million to the amount equal to the sum of (i) the outstanding principal amount of the Registered Notes plus (ii) approximately $0.7 million, which will be further reduced as the remaining principal on the Registered Notes are retired;
Cancellation of the March 2024 partial redemption payment and delay of the April 2024 partial redemption payment;
Redemption of the outstanding $17.0 million balance of the Private Placement Notes at a redemption price of 115% for a total redemption payment of approximately $19.6 million;
Redemption of approximately $10.7 million of the Registered Notes at a redemption price of 115% for a total redemption payment of approximately $12.3 million; and
Increase of $1.0 million to the Retirement Fee (as defined in the Notes) of the Private Placement Notes to $3.2 million payable concurrently with redemptions of the Initial Private Placement Note.

Immediately following the redemptions above, there was approximately $24.3 million in aggregate principal amount of the Registered Notes outstanding.

High Trail Redemption Agreement

On May 23, 2024, in connection with the JGB Debentures Offering, the Company entered into a redemption agreement (the “High Trail Agreement”) with High Trail. Pursuant to the High Trail Agreement, the Company agreed to redeem the entire outstanding principal amount of $15.3 million under the High Trail Note at a redemption price of 115% for a total redemption payment of $17.6 million (the “Redemption Payment”). Upon High Trail’s receipt of the Redemption Payment on May 24, 2024, the High Trail Note and related Option were cancelled. In addition, the Company agreed to pay High Trail a retirement fee of $2.2 million and to reimburse High Trail for all of its reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred with the release and termination of security interests relating to the High Trail Notes.

The Company recognized a loss on the extinguishment of the High Trail Note of $1.1 million, and a gain on the extinguishment of the Purchase Option (as defined in Note 4 (Investments and Fair Value Measurements)) of $5.1 million, for a net gain of $4.0 million, which was recorded in other income (expense) on the consolidated statement of operations in May 2024 upon extinguishment.

 

In addition to redeeming $15.3 million and $27.7 million of the principal outstanding under the High Trail Notes on May 24, 2024, and March 1, 2024, respectively, for an aggregate principal redemption of $43.0 million at the aggregate Redemption Price of $49.5 million, the Holders redeemed $4.5 million each of principal on January 1, 2024, February 1, 2024, April 20, 2024, and May 1, 2024, for an aggregate principal redemption of $18.0 million at an aggregate Repayment Price of $20.7 million.
