In accordance with the terms of the AFG Indenture and the Notice of Redemption of Non-Affiliated Holders, each of the holders of the AFG Convertible Notes (other than those held by the Affiliated Purchaser) opted to exercise its conversion right to convert all of such holder’s outstanding AFG Convertible Notes into shares of Common Stock at a conversion rate equal to 598.8024 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 capitalized principal amount of AFG Convertible Notes. During the third quarter of 2025, the Company issued 16,578,810 shares of Common Stock in the aggregate to such holders of the AFG Convertible Notes (other than those held by the Affiliated Purchaser).

After obtaining the stockholder approval the Company issued a notice of redemption to the Affiliated Purchaser on October 24, 2025 for all outstanding AFG Convertible Notes held by the Affiliated Purchaser, pursuant to which the Company intended to fully redeem the remaining AFG Convertible Notes on November 10, 2025 for a redemption price equal to the then current capitalized principal amount of the AFG Convertible Notes plus the aggregate amount of all accrued and unpaid or uncapitalized interest payments on the capitalized principal amount of the AFG Convertible Notes that the Affiliated Purchaser would have been entitled to receive had the AFG Convertible Notes remained outstanding at the Original Maturity Date. On October 28, 2025, in accordance with the terms of the AFG Indenture and the notice of redemption, the Affiliated Purchaser opted to exercise its conversion right to convert all of its outstanding AFG Convertible Notes into shares of Common Stock at a conversion rate equal to 598.8024 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 capitalized principal amount of AFG Convertible Notes.

May 2025 Convertible Notes
On June 3, 2025, the Company issued $225,000 principal amounts of its May 2025 Convertible Notes. The Company granted initial purchasers an option to purchase, for settlement within a period of thirteen days from the date the May 2025 Convertible Notes were first issued, up to an additional $25,000 principal amounts which were exercised in full. The May 2025 Convertible Notes will accrue interest at a rate of 6.75% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15, beginning on December 15, 2025.
Maturity- The May 2025 Convertible Notes will mature on June 15, 2030, absent conditions described below.
Conversion Rights - The May 2025 Convertible Notes can be converted into shares of our common stock under certain conditions before March 15, 2030:
Stock Price Trigger: If, during any calendar quarter starting after September 30, 2025, our stock price closes above 130% of the conversion price for at least 20 out of the last 30 trading days of that quarter.
Trading Price Condition: If, during a 10-day period, the trading price of the notes falls below 98% of the product of the last reported sale price per share of our common stock on such trading day and the conversion rate on such trading day, then conversion is allowed during the five business days that follow.
Corporate Events: Upon the occurrence of certain corporate events or distributions on our common stock, as described in this offering memorandum.
Redemption: If the Company calls such notes for redemption on or after June 20, 2028, then the holders may choose to convert them at that time.
Beginning March 15, 2030, the notes can be converted at any time until two trading days prior to maturity.
The initial conversion price is approximately $5.10 per share, and the Company may choose to settle conversions in stock, cash or a mix of both. The conversion price is subject to customary adjustments upon the occurrence of certain events. If a make-whole fundamental change (as defined in the May 2025 Convertible Notes Indenture) occurs, the conversion rate may temporarily increase to provide additional value.
Redemption - The May 2025 Convertible Notes will be redeemable, in whole or in part, at the Company’s option at any time, and from time to time, on or after June 20, 2028 and on or before the 41st scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date, but only if certain liquidity conditions are satisfied and the last reported sale price per shares of the Company’s common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price on (i) each of at least 20 trading days, whether or not consecutive, during the thirty consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the trading day immediately before the date the Company sends the related redemption notice; and (ii) the trading day immediately before the date the Company sends such redemption notice. However, the Company may not redeem less than all of the outstanding notes unless at least $75,000 aggregate principal amount of notes are outstanding and not called for redemption as of the time the Company sends the related redemption notice. The redemption price is equivalent to the principal amount of the May 2025 Convertible Notes called for redemption, plus accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, calling any note for redemption will constitute a make-whole fundamental change with respect to that note, in which case the conversion rate applicable to the conversion of that note will be increased in certain circumstances if it is converted after it is called for redemption.
Embedded Derivatives - The May 2025 Convertible Notes include certain embedded features, such as provisions for fundamental change, additional interest, special interest and indemnification. In accordance with ASC 815, the Company assessed these embedded features to determine whether bifurcation and separate accounting as derivatives was required. Although these features are not clearly and closely related to the host debt contract and meet the definition of a derivative under ASC 815, the Company determined that the combined fair value of these embedded derivatives is de minimis. Accordingly, these features have not been bifurcated from the host contract and are not accounted for separately. The Company will continue to evaluate these features for any changes in facts or circumstances that may warrant reconsideration of this assessment.
Additionally, the conversion feature embedded in the May 2025 Convertible Notes qualifies for the scope exception under ASC 815-40 and, therefore, is not required to be bifurcated and accounted for separately.

As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, $984 and $141, respectively, of interest payable attributable for the May 2025 Convertible Notes was included in Accrued expenses in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
November 2025 Convertible Notes
On November 24, 2025, the Company issued $525,000 principal amounts of its November 2025 Convertible Notes. The Company granted initial purchasers an option to purchase, for settlement within a period of thirteen days from the date the November 2025 Convertible Notes were first issued, up to an additional $75,000 principal amounts which were exercised in full on November 24, 2025. The November 2025 Convertible Notes will accrue interest at a rate of 1.75% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, beginning on June 1, 2026.
Maturity- The November 2025 Convertible Notes will mature on December 1, 2031, absent conditions described below.
Conversion Rights - The November 2025 Convertible Notes can be converted into shares of our common stock under certain conditions before September 3, 2031:
Stock Price Trigger: If, during any calendar quarter starting after June 30, 2026, our stock price closes above 130% of the conversion price for at least 20 out of 30 trading days ending on, and including, the trading day immediately before the date the Company sends the related redemption notice.
Trading Price Condition: If, during a 10-day period, the trading price of the notes falls below 98% of the product of the last reported sale price per share of our common stock on such trading day and the conversion rate on such trading day, then conversion is allowed during the five business days that follow.
Corporate Events: Upon the occurrence of certain corporate events or distributions on our common stock, as described in this offering memorandum.
Redemption: If the Company calls such notes for redemption on or after December 5, 2028, then the holders may choose to convert them at that time.
Beginning September 3, 2031, the notes can be converted at any time until two trading days prior to maturity.
The initial conversion price is approximately $16.29 per share, and the Company may choose to settle conversions in stock, cash or a mix of both. The conversion price is subject to customary adjustments upon the occurrence of certain events. If a make-whole fundamental change (as defined in the November 2025 Convertible Notes Indenture) occurs, the conversion rate may temporarily increase to provide additional value.
Redemption - The November 2025 Convertible Notes will be redeemable, in whole or in part, at the Company’s option at any time, and from time to time, on or after December 5, 2028 and on or before the 41st scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date, but only if certain liquidity conditions are satisfied and the last reported sale price per shares of the Company’s common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price on (i) each of at least 20 trading days, whether or not consecutive, during the thirty consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the trading day immediately before the date the Company sends the related redemption notice; and (ii) the trading day immediately before the date the Company sends such redemption notice. However, the Company may not redeem less than all of the outstanding notes unless at least $75,000 aggregate principal amount of notes are outstanding and not called for redemption as of the time the Company sends the related redemption notice. The redemption price is equivalent to the principal amount of the November 2025 Convertible Notes called for redemption, plus accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, calling any note for redemption will constitute a make-whole fundamental change with respect to that note, in which case the conversion rate applicable to the conversion of that note will be increased in certain circumstances if it is converted after it is called for redemption. Prior to obtaining shareholder approval for the issuance of common stock upon conversion, the Company will be required to settle all conversions in cash.
Embedded Derivatives - The November 2025 Convertible Notes include certain embedded features, such as provisions for fundamental change, additional interest, special interest, conversion feature and indemnification. In accordance with ASC 815, the Company assessed these embedded features to determine whether bifurcation and separate accounting as derivatives was required. The Company concluded the embedded features meet the bifurcation criteria because the economic characteristics and the risks of the embedded features are not clearly and closely related to the debt host, the host is not remeasured at fair value and the embedded features would meet the definition of a derivative if freestanding. The Company also evaluated indexation and equity classification guidance with respect to the conversion feature. Although the conversion feature is considered indexed to the Company's own stock, it does not qualify for equity classification at issuance, as prior to the first date on which the Company reserves the maximum number of convertible shares, and before shareholder approval is obtained to authorize additional shares, all conversions are required to be cash-settled, and shareholder approval to increase authorized shares is not solely within the Company's control. As a result, the conversion feature did not qualify for the derivative scope exception in ASC 815 at issuance. At issuance, the Company recognized the embedded derivative at its fair value, with an offset to debt discount. The embedded derivative is remeasured at fair value each reporting period, and changes in fair value are recognized in Change in fair value of derivatives on the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. The Company will continue to evaluate these features for any changes in facts or circumstances that may warrant reconsideration of this assessment.
