The effective interest rate represents a weighted-average interest rate applicable for the respective period, for the period of time which the Convertible Notes were outstanding. Interest expense utilized in the calculation is based upon the gross interest expense in the table above, and the principal balance utilized in the calculation is based on the ending net long-term debt applicable to each interest period inclusive of unamortized debt issuance costs and discount, changes in the principal balance resulting from the issuance of any Convertible Notes, interest paid-in-kind and any adjustments resulting from the Amended and Restated Note Purchase Agreement.

Convertible Notes - Background

In August 2022, the Company entered into a $60.0 million private placement of senior secured convertible notes (the “August 2022 Notes”) with Bluescape, which were secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets. The August 2022 Notes were subsequently amended and restated several times to transfer certain ownership of the debt to Ascend, to modify conversion terms, extend maturities, adjust interest provisions and issue additional tranches of notes to Bluescape and Ascend (together, the “Convertible Notes”). Interest on the Convertible Notes was payable semi-annually on February 15 and August 15 of each year, either in cash or through the issuance of additional notes. The agreement that governed the Convertible Notes, including the various amended and restated forms of such agreement (collectively, the “Amended and Restated Note Purchase Agreement”) also included various minimum cash covenants that were periodically waived and extended.

Convertible Notes - Activity

On August 15, 2024, the Company elected to issue additional notes as payment for approximately $3.4 million of interest accrued on the Convertible Notes during the period from February 16, 2024 through August 15, 2024.

On September 16, 2024, the Company entered into a third amendment to the Amended and Restated Note Purchase Agreement and agreed, among other things, to issue and sell $6.0 million aggregate principal amount of new senior secured convertible notes in substantially the same form and under the same terms as the then outstanding Convertible Notes (the “September 2024 Notes”) to Bluescape and Ascend.

On January 14, 2025, the Company entered into a fourth amendment (“Amendment No. 4”) to the Amended and Restated Note Purchase Agreement and agreed, among other things, to issue and sell $5.0 million aggregate principal amount of new senior secured convertible notes in substantially the same form and under the same terms as the then outstanding Convertible Notes (the “January 2025 Notes”) to Bluescape and Ascend. Concurrently with the execution of Amendment No. 4, the Company entered into various agreements in contemplation of the Exchange Transaction, as discussed in Note 1-Basis of Financial Statement Presentation.

On February 17, 2025, the Company elected to issue additional notes as payment for approximately $4.0 million of interest accrued on the Convertible Notes during the period from August 15, 2024 through February 15, 2025.

In connection with its entry into the September 2024 Notes and January 2025 Notes, the Company incurred approximately $454 thousand and approximately $283 thousand of debt issuance costs, respectively.

Convertible Notes - Conversion Terms

The Amended and Restated Note Purchase Agreement contained provisions that allowed for the conversion of the Convertible Notes, including interest paid-in-kind, into shares of the Company’s Common Stock in various circumstances at both the Company

and holder’s election at various conversion rates. However, during the period over which the Convertible Notes were outstanding, and prior to the Exchange, no such conversion occurred.

The conversion rate applicable to the Convertible Notes issued in June 2024 (the “June 2024 Notes”) and the September 2024 Notes was subject to adjustment if, after the issuance date of such notes and on or prior to December 31, 2024, the Company sold Common Stock or any other equity-linked securities in one or more transactions at an effective price per share that was less than the respective conversion price then in effect, subject to certain exemptions (a “Degressive Issuance”). In the event of a Degressive Issuance, the conversion rate applicable to the respective Convertible Notes was subject to adjustment based on the weighted average issuance price of the securities sold in such Degressive Issuance, as set forth in the Amended and Restated Note Purchase Agreement. As part of the August 2024 Equity Offering (as further described and defined in Note 10-Equity), a Degressive Issuance provision applicable to the June 2024 Notes resulted in an adjustment to the conversion rate applicable to the June 2024 Notes. A Degressive Issuance did not occur with respect to the September 2024 Notes prior to the expiration of such feature on December 31, 2024.

Convertible Notes - Derivatives

The Degressive Issuance feature associated with the June 2024 Notes and September 2024 Notes were deemed to be embedded derivatives requiring bifurcation and separate accounting as stand-alone derivative instruments (the “June 2024 Convertible Note Derivative” and “September 2024 Convertible Note Derivative,” respectively, and together, the “Convertible Note Derivatives”) through December 31, 2024. Refer to Note 8-Convertible Note Derivatives for additional details regarding the accounting for the Convertible Note Derivatives.

The September 2024 Notes were initially recorded at their face amount of $6.0 million less debt issuance costs of $454 thousand and the fair value of the September 2024 Convertible Note Derivative, which was determined to be $1.6 million. Refer to Note 8-Convertible Note Derivatives for additional details.

 

Convertible Notes – Gain On Extinguishment

On March 5, 2025, the Company completed the Exchange, as described in Note 1-Basis of Financial Statement Presentation, pursuant to which all outstanding Convertible Notes were exchanged for an aggregate 13,586,524 shares of the Company’s Common Stock (as described in more detail in Note 1-Basis of Financial Statement Presentation). The Exchange resulted in the termination of the Amended and Restated Note Purchase Agreement, the extinguishment of all related indebtedness, and the elimination of the associated minimum cash covenant.

The Exchange Transaction was evaluated and constitutes a single transaction that was accounted for as a troubled debt restructuring. The Exchange transaction is considered a troubled debt restructuring as the Company was experiencing financial difficulty at the time of the transaction and the noteholders granted a concession to the Company, as the fair value of equity interests received by the noteholders was less than the net carrying value of the long-term debt on such date.

In accordance with the accounting for troubled debt restructurings, the Company derecognized the remaining principal, accrued interest, unamortized discount and debt issuance costs associated with the Convertible Notes upon the effectiveness of the Exchange Transaction and recognized the equity interest issued to the noteholders at fair value, less issuance costs paid. Refer to Note 10-Equity, for information related to the determination of fair value of the equity interests issued and issuance costs paid. The difference in value between the prior debt and the fair value of the equity interest issued, less proceeds received by the Company in the Exchange Transaction, resulted in a gain on extinguishment of debt of approximately $17.3 million, the calculation of which is summarized in the following table.
