Convertible Notes
Baker Notes (owned by Future Pak, LLC since July 23, 2024)
On April 23, 2020, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase and Security Agreement (the Baker Bros. Purchase Agreement) with certain affiliates of Baker Bros. Advisors LP, as purchasers (the Baker Purchasers), and Baker Bros. Advisors LP, as designated agent, pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell to the Baker Purchasers (i) convertible senior secured promissory notes (the Baker Notes) in an aggregate principal amount of up to $25.0 million and (ii) warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock (the Baker Warrants) in a private placement, which closed in two closings (April 24, 2020, the Baker Initial Closing, and June 9, 2020, the Baker Second Closing). As a result of the two closings, the Company issued and sold Baker Notes with an aggregate principal amount of $25.0 million and Baker Warrants exercisable for 2,731 shares of Common Stock. Upon the completion of the underwritten public offering in June 2020, the exercise price of the Baker Warrants was $4,575 per share. The Baker Warrants had a five-year term with a cashless exercise provision and were immediately exercisable at any time from their respective issuance date. The April 2020 Baker Warrants expired on April 24, 2025. The June 2020 Baker Warrants expired on June 9, 2025.
The Baker Notes had a five-year term, with no pre-payment ability during the first three years. Interest on the unpaid principal balance of the Baker Notes (the Baker Outstanding Balance) accrues at 10.0% per annum, with interest accrued during the first year from the two respective closing dates recognized as payment-in-kind. The effective interest rate for the periods was 10.0%. Accrued interest beyond the first year of the respective closing dates was to be paid in arrears on a quarterly basis in cash or recognized as payment-in-kind, at the direction of the Baker Purchasers. As discussed below, with the amendment to the Baker Bros. Purchase Agreement, interest payments were paid in-kind. Interest pertaining to the Baker Notes for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 were approximately $3.0 million and $2.7 million, respectively, which was added to the outstanding principal balance. The Company accounts for the Baker Notes under the fair value method as described below and, therefore, the interest associated with the Baker Notes is included in the fair value determination.
The Baker Notes were callable by the Company on 10 days’ written notice beginning on the third anniversary of the initial closing date of April 24, 2020 at a call price equal to 100% of the Baker Outstanding Balance plus accrued and unpaid interest if the Company’s Common Stock as measured using a 30-day VWAP was greater than the benchmark price of $9,356.25 as stated in the Baker Bros. Purchase Agreement, or 110% of the Baker Outstanding Balance plus accrued and unpaid interest if the VWAP was less than such benchmark price. The Baker Purchasers also had the option to require the Company to repurchase all or any portion of the Baker Notes in cash upon the occurrence of certain events. In a repurchase event, as defined in the Baker Bros. Purchase Agreement, the repurchase price will equal 110% of the Baker Outstanding Balance plus accrued and unpaid interest. In the event of default or the Company’s change of control, the repurchase price would equal to the sum of (x) three times of the Baker Outstanding Balance plus (y) the aggregate value of future interest that would have accrued. The Baker Notes were convertible at any time at the option of the Baker Purchasers at the conversion price of $4,575 per share prior to the First and Second Baker Amendments (as defined below).
On November 20, 2021, the Company entered into the first amendment to the Baker Bros. Purchase Agreement (the First Baker Amendment), in which each Baker Purchaser had the right to convert all or any portion of the Baker Notes into Common Stock at a conversion price equal to the lesser of (a) $4,575 and (b) 115% of the lowest price per share of Common Stock (or, as applicable with respect to any equity securities convertible into Common Stock, 115% of the applicable conversion price) sold in one or more equity financings until the Company has met a qualified financing threshold defined as one or more equity financings resulting in aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of at least $50 million (the Financing Threshold).
The First Baker Amendment extended, effective upon the Company’s achievement of the Financing Threshold, the affirmative covenant to achieve $100.0 million in cumulative net sales of PHEXX by June 30, 2022 to June 30, 2023. Additionally per the First Baker Amendment, if the Company were to issue warrants to purchase capital stock of the Company (or other similar consideration) in any equity financing that closed on or prior to the date on which the Company met the Financing Threshold, the Company was required to issue to the Baker Purchasers an equivalent coverage of warrants (or other similar consideration) on the same terms as if the Baker Purchasers had participated in the financing in an amount equal to the then outstanding principal of Baker Notes held by the Baker Purchasers. In satisfaction of this requirement and in connection with the closing of the May 2022 Public Offering, the Company issued warrants to purchase 582,886 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $93.75 per share to the Baker Purchasers (the June 2022 Baker Warrants). As required by the terms of the First Baker Amendment, the June 2022 Baker Warrants have substantially the same terms as the warrants issued in the May 2022 Public Offering. Refer to Note 8 – Convertible and Redeemable Preferred Stock and Stockholders’ Deficit for further information. The exercise price of the initial Baker Warrants and the June 2022 Baker Warrants was reset multiple times as a result of various Notes issuances in accordance with the agreement. The exercise price of the June 2022 Baker Warrants was $ per share as of March 31, 2026.
On March 21, 2022, the Company entered into the second amendment to the Baker Bros. Purchase Agreement (the Second Baker Amendment), which granted each Baker Purchaser the right to convert all or any portion of the Baker Notes into Common Stock at a conversion price equal to the lesser of (a) $725.81 or (b) 100% of the lowest price per share of Common Stock (or as applicable with respect to any equity securities convertible into Common Stock, 100% of the applicable conversion price) sold in any equity financing until the Company (i) met the qualified financing threshold by June 30, 2022, defined as a single underwritten financing resulting in aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of at least $20 million (Qualified Financing Threshold) and (ii) disclosed top-line results from the EVOGUARD clinical trial (the Clinical Trial Milestone) on or before October 31, 2022. The Second Baker Amendment also provided that the exercise price of the Baker Warrants will equal the conversion price of the Baker Notes. The Company met the Qualified Financing Threshold upon the closing of the May 2022 Public Offering, and as of September 30, 2022, the conversion price and exercise price of the Baker Warrants was reset to $93.75. The Company achieved the Clinical Trial Milestone in October 2022. Also, with the achievement of the Qualified Financing Threshold and the Clinical Trial Milestone, the affirmative covenant to achieve $100.0 million in cumulative net sales of PHEXX was extended to June 30, 2023; this was subsequently waived via the Baker Fourth Amendment as discussed below.
On September 15, 2022, the Company entered into the third amendment to the Baker Bros. Purchase Agreement (the Third Baker Amendment), pursuant to which the conversion price was amended to $26.25, subject to adjustment for certain dilutive Company equity issuance adjustments for a two-year period; an interest make-whole payment due in certain circumstances was removed; and certain change of control and liquidation payment amounts were reduced from three times the outstanding amounts of the Baker Notes to two times the outstanding amounts. In addition, the Third Baker Amendment provided that the Company may make future interest payments to the Baker Purchasers in kind or in cash, at the Company’s option. On the same day, the Company also entered into a Secured Creditor Forbearance Agreement with the Baker Purchasers (Forbearance Agreement), according to which the Baker Purchasers agreed to forebear the defaults that existed at that time.
On December 19, 2022, the Company entered into the First Amendment to the Forbearance Agreement (the Amendment) effective as of December 15, 2022 to amend certain provisions of the Forbearance Agreement dated September 15, 2022. The Amendment revised the Forbearance Agreement to (i) amend the Fifth Recital Clause (as defined therein) to clarify that the Baker Purchasers consent to any additional indebtedness pari passu, but not senior to that of the Baker Purchasers, in an amount not to exceed $5.0 million, and (ii) strike and entirely replace Section 4 to clarify the terms of the Baker Purchasers’ consent to Interim Financing (as defined therein). No other revisions were made to the Forbearance Agreement.
On March 7, 2023, Baker Bros. Advisors, LP (the Designated Agent) provided a Notice of Event of Default and Reservation of Rights (the Notice of Default) relating to the Baker Bros. Purchase Agreement. The Notice of Default claimed that the Company failed to maintain the “Required Reserve Amount” as required by the Third Baker Amendment. The Designated Agent, at the direction of the Baker Purchasers, accelerated repayment of the outstanding balance payable. As a result, approximately $92.7 million, representing two times the sum of the outstanding balance and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all other amounts due under the Baker Bros. Purchase Agreement and other documents, was due and payable within three business days of receipt of the Notice of Default. In addition, the Company did not meet the $100.0 million cumulative net sales threshold by June 30, 2023 and as such was in default as of that date. As discussed below, all existing defaults were cured upon the signing of the Fourth Baker Amendment.
On September 8, 2023, the Company entered into the Fourth Amendment to the Baker Bros. Purchase Agreement (the Fourth Baker Amendment) with the Baker Purchasers. The Fourth Amendment amends certain provisions within the Baker Bros. Purchase Agreement including:
The outstanding balance of the Baker Notes will continue to accrue interest at 10% per annum and, in the event of a default in the agreement or a failure to pay the Repurchase Price (as defined below) on or before September 8, 2028 (the Baker Notes maturity date), the Baker Purchasers may collect on the full principal amount then outstanding.
The Company paid the required $1.0 million upfront payment in September 2023 and is required to make quarterly cash payments based upon a percentage of the Company’s global net product revenue. The cash payments will be determined based upon the quarterly global net revenue according to the table below.
The quarterly cash payments became payable beginning in the fourth quarter of 2023 and have been timely paid since.
Regardless of the percentage paid, the quarterly cash payment amounts, along with the $1.0 million upfront payment (collectively, Applicable Reductions), will be deducted from the Repurchase Price. Cumulative quarterly cash payments as of March 31, 2026, which will be treated as Applicable Reductions paid, amount to $1.5 million.
The Fourth Amendment also granted the Company the ability to repurchase the principal amount and accrued and unpaid interest of the Baker Notes for up to a five-year period for the one-time Repurchase Price designated below:
The Company evaluated whether any of the embedded features required bifurcation as a separate component. The Company elected the fair value option (FVO) under ASC 825, Financial Instruments (ASC 825), as the Baker Notes are qualified financial instruments and are, in whole, classified as liabilities. Under the FVO, the Company recognized the debt instrument at fair value, inclusive of the embedded features, with changes in fair value related to changes in the Company’s credit risk being recognized as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. All other changes in fair value were recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
As part of the consideration for the merger contemplated by the A&R Merger Agreement (as defined in Note 7 – Commitments and Contingencies), on December 11, 2023, the Baker Purchasers signed an agreement to assign the Baker Notes to Aditxt, Inc. (Aditxt) (the December Assignment Agreement). Upon execution of the December Assignment Agreement, Aditxt assumed all terms under the Baker Notes, with Aditxt becoming the new senior secured debtholder of the Company, governed by the requirements under the Fourth Baker Amendment. The Baker Notes were re-assigned back to the Baker Purchasers on February 26, 2024 (the February Assignment Agreement).
Due to the execution of the February Assignment Agreement, the Company reviewed the Baker Notes in accordance with ASC 470 – Debt (ASC 470). The Baker Notes, having been effectively terminated, were extinguished on February 26, 2024, which resulted in removal of the fair value of the old Baker Notes of $13.5 million. The newly re-assigned Baker Notes were subsequently recorded at fair value using the valuation methods discussed in Note 6 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments.
On July 23, 2024, the Company consented to the transfer of ownership of the Baker Notes from Baker Brothers Life Sciences, 667, L.P., and Baker Bros. Advisors, LP, each a Delaware limited partnership (collectively, Baker) to Future Pak, LLC (the Assignee) (the July 2024 Assignment). The terms of the Baker Notes were not changed in connection with the assignment from Baker to the Assignee. Due to the July 2024 Assignment, the Company reviewed the Baker Notes in accordance with ASC 470. The Baker Notes, having been effectively terminated, were extinguished on July 23, 2024, resulting in removing the fair value of the old Baker Notes of $12.3 million and the related accumulated other comprehensive income of $0.1 million as of the date of the extinguishment. The Company also recognized a loss of approximately $1.0 million within the consolidated statement of operations, in the gain on debt extinguishment line item for the year ended December 31, 2024. The newly re-assigned Baker Notes were subsequently recorded at fair value using the valuation methods discussed in Note 6 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments.
The Company did not repurchase the Baker Notes prior to September 8, 2025. As of March 31, 2026, the Baker Notes are recorded in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as short term Notes – carried at fair value with a total fair value of $15.2 million, and the total outstanding balance including principal and accrued interest was $123.2 million. As of December 31, 2025, the Baker Notes are recorded at fair value in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as short-term Notes – carried at fair value with a total fair value of $15.5 million, and the total outstanding balance including principal and accrued interest was $120.5 million.
On September 27, 2024, the Assignee, as agent for the Baker Purchasers (in such capacity, the Designated Agent), provided a Notice of Event of Default and Reservation of Rights (the September 2024 Notice of Default) relating to the Baker Bros. Purchase Agreement by and among the Company, Designated Agent, as certain guarantors, and the purchasers (each a Baker Purchaser and collectively the Baker Purchasers). The September 2024 Notice of Default claims that by entering into arrangements to pay certain existing obligations, including obligations owed to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, an Event of Default has occurred under Section 9.1(e) of the Baker Bros. Purchase Agreement.
According to the Notice of Default, the Designated Agent has accelerated repayment of the outstanding principal balance owed by the Company under the Securities Purchase Agreement. If all Baker Purchasers exercise the Section 5.7 Option (as defined below), the repurchase price would be equal to the total outstanding balance, including principal and accrued interest. Pursuant to Section 5.7(b) of the Baker Bros. Purchase Agreement, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Purchaser may elect, at its option, to require the Company to repurchase the Baker Notes held by such Purchaser (or any portion thereof) at a repurchase price equal to two times the sum of the outstanding principal balance and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, due within three business days after such Purchaser delivers a notice of such election (the Section 5.7 Option).
On October 27, 2024, the Designated Agent sent an amended and supplemental notice to the Initial Notice of Default (the Amended Notice of Default) which added new claims of default based on the Company’s payment agreements of existing obligations, including obligations owed to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services; allegedly triggering an Event of Default under Section 9.1(e) of the Baker Bros. Purchase Agreement, as amended. Furthermore, the Amended Notice stated that, because the events of default described in the Amended Notice of Default are not the certain prior events of default listed in the Forbearance Agreement (Specified Defaults), the Designated Agent and the holders of the senior secured promissory notes described in the Baker Bros. Purchase Agreement thereby provided notice to the Company that the Forbearance Agreement was terminated as of October 27, 2024.
On November 8, 2024, the Designated Agent sent an amended and supplemental notice to the Notices (the Third Amended Notice of Default) which added new claims of default based on (i) the Company’s failure to maintain a cash position of $1.0 million or greater, as required under Section 5(b) of the Forbearance Agreement and (ii) the Company’s failure to deliver financial and operating reports in accordance with the timeline required under the Section 8.1(n) of the Baker Bros. Purchase Agreement, and claimed the outstanding balance under the notes of the Baker Stock Purchase Agreement, plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, to be approximately $107.0 million as opposed to the Repurchase Price as defined in the Fourth Amendment. The alleged Events of Defaults have not been waived or cured.
The Company disagrees with the Designated Agent’s claim that an Event of Default has occurred. The Company intends to contest any attempt by the Designated Agent and the Baker Purchasers to exercise their default rights and remedies under the Baker Bros. Purchase Agreement.
Adjuvant Notes
On October 14, 2020, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the Adjuvant Purchase Agreement) with Adjuvant Global Health Technology Fund, L.P., and Adjuvant Global Health Technology Fund DE, L.P. (together, the Adjuvant Purchasers), pursuant to which the Company sold unsecured convertible promissory notes (the Adjuvant Notes) in aggregate principal amount of $25.0 million.
The Adjuvant Notes initially had a five-year term, and in connection with certain Company change of control transactions, the Adjuvant Notes could be prepaid at the option of the Company or would have become payable on the date of the consummation of a change of control transaction at the option of the Adjuvant Purchasers. The Adjuvant Notes have interest accruing at 7.5% per annum on a quarterly basis in arrears to the outstanding balance of the Adjuvant Notes and are recognized as payment-in-kind. The effective interest rate for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was 7.5%.
Interest expense, entirely comprised of coupon interest, for the Adjuvant Notes was $0.6 million for each of the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. The amount is included in short-term convertible notes – Adjuvant – related party on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2026 and 2025 and in other expense, net on the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.
The Adjuvant Notes are convertible, subject to customary 19.99% beneficial ownership limitations, into shares of the Company’s Common Stock at any time at the option of the Adjuvant Purchasers at a conversion price of $6,843.75 per share. In connection with certain Company change of control transactions, the Adjuvant Notes may be prepaid at the option of the Company or will become payable at the option of the Adjuvant Purchasers. To the extent not previously prepaid or converted, the Adjuvant Notes were originally automatically convertible into shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a conversion price of $6,843.75 per share immediately following the earliest of the time at which the (i) 30-day volume-weighted average price of the Company’s Common Stock was $ per share, or (ii) the Company achieved cumulative net sales of $100.0 million, provided such net sales were achieved prior to July 1, 2022.
On April 4, 2022, the Company entered into the first amendment to the Adjuvant Purchase Agreement (the Adjuvant Amendment). The Adjuvant Amendment extended the affirmative covenant to achieve $100.0 million in cumulative net sales of PHEXX by June 30, 2022 to June 30, 2023. The Adjuvant Amendment also provided for an adjustment to the conversion price of the Adjuvant Notes such that the conversion price (the Conversion Price) for these Notes, effective as of the May 2023 reverse stock split, will now be the lesser of (i) $678.49 and (ii) 100% of the lowest price per share of Common Stock (or with respect to securities convertible into Common Stock, 100% of the applicable conversion price) sold in any equity financing until the Company met the Qualified Financing Threshold, as defined in the Adjuvant Amendment. Effective as of the Company’s achievement of the Qualified Financing Threshold, the automatic conversion provisions in the Adjuvant Purchase Agreement were further amended to provide that the Adjuvant Notes will automatically convert into shares of the Company’s Common Stock at the Conversion Price immediately following the earliest of the time at which the (i) 30-day volume-weighted average price of the Company’s Common Stock is $ per share, or (ii) the Company achieves cumulative net sales of PHEXX of $100.0 million, provided such net sales were achieved prior to July 1, 2023.
The Adjuvant Notes contain various customary affirmative and negative covenants agreed to by the Company. On September 12, 2022, the Company was in default of the Adjuvant Notes due to the default with the Baker Notes under the cross-default provision. On September 15, 2022, the Company entered into a Forbearance Agreement (the Adjuvant Forbearance Agreement) with the Adjuvant Purchasers, pursuant to which the Adjuvant Purchasers agreed to forbear from exercising any of their rights and remedies during the Forbearance Period as defined therein, but solely with respect to the specified events of default provided under the Adjuvant Forbearance Agreement.
Also on September 15, 2022, the Company entered into the second amendment to the Adjuvant Purchase Agreement (the Second Adjuvant Amendment), pursuant to which the conversion price per share was reduced to $26.25, subject to adjustment for certain dilutive Company equity issuance adjustments for a two-year period. In addition, the Company entered into an exchange agreement, pursuant to which the Adjuvant Purchasers agreed to exchange 10% of the outstanding amount of the Adjuvant Notes as of September 15, 2022 (e.g. $2.9 million of the Adjuvant Notes) for rights to receive shares of Common Stock (the Adjuvant Purchase Rights). The number of shares for each Adjuvant Purchase Right was initially fixed, but is subject to certain customary adjustments and, until the second anniversary of issuance (i.e., September 15, 2024), adjustments for certain dilutive Company equity issuances. Refer to Note 8 – Convertible and Redeemable Preferred Stock and Stockholders’ Deficit for discussion regarding additional issuances of purchase rights under this provision. The Adjuvant Purchase Rights expire on June 28, 2027 and do not have an exercise price per share and, therefore, will not result in cash proceeds to the Company. As of March 31, 2026, all Adjuvant Purchase Rights remain outstanding and the conversion price of the Adjuvant Notes was $0.0154. Assuming conversion of the outstanding principal at the applicable conversion price per share, the Adjuvant Notes could be converted into shares of Common Stock as of March 31, 2026.
The Company was in default of the Adjuvant Notes as of September 30, 2023, due to the failure to meet the cumulative net sales requirement. However, the Adjuvant Purchasers forbore such default in October 2023 and therefore the Company was no longer in default.
On April 10, 2025, Aditxt, the Company and the Adjuvant Purchasers entered into a Call Option Agreement wherein the Adjuvant Purchasers granted to Aditxt, a call option to purchase, at the sole discretion of Aditxt, all of the convertible Adjuvant Notes and Rights to receive Common Stock held by Adjuvant for an aggregate purchase price of $13.0 million. The call option expired on June 30, 2025.
As described in Note 8 – Convertible and Redeemable Preferred Stock and Stockholders’ Deficit, on August 22, 2025, the Company entered into an Exchange Agreement with Adjuvant providing for the exchange of a portion of the Adjuvant Notes due in the aggregate original principal and accrued interest amount of approximately $0.4 million into an aggregate 365 shares of Series G-1 convertible preferred stock, par value $ per share (the Series G-1 Shares). The exchange was accounted for as a partial debt extinguishment via delivery of other financial assets and the difference between the carrying value of the extinguished debt and the fair value of the Series G-1 Shares at issuance of approximately $million was recorded as an increase to capital contribution during the year ended December 31, 2025.
On October 13, 2025, the Company and the Adjuvant Purchasers entered into a third amendment to the Adjuvant Purchase Agreement (the Adjuvant Third Amendment). The Adjuvant Third Amendment amends certain provisions including updating the date that the Adjuvant Notes will be payable in full to the earlier of (a) six months after the October 13, 2025, (b) at the election of Adjuvant, the date of a consummation of a Change of Control (as defined in the Adjuvant Purchase Agreement), and (c) the date of any acceleration of the Adjuvant Notes in accordance with Section 8 (the maturity date, as per the Adjuvant Purchase Agreement). The Adjuvant Notes may not be prepaid prior to the date that is six months after October 13, 2025 without prior written consent of the Adjuvant Purchasers.
On April 10, 2026, the Company and the Adjuvant Purchasers entered into a fourth amendment to the Adjuvant Purchase Agreement (the Adjuvant Fourth Amendment). The Adjuvant Fourth Amendment amends certain provisions including updating the date that the Adjuvant Notes will be payable in full to the earlier of (a) six months after the April 10, 2026, (b) at the election of Adjuvant, the date of a consummation of a Change of Control (as defined in the Adjuvant Purchase Agreement), and (c) the date of any acceleration of the Adjuvant Notes in accordance with Section 8 (the maturity date, as per the Adjuvant Purchase Agreement). The Adjuvant Notes may not be prepaid prior to the date that is six months after April 10, 2026 without prior written consent of the Adjuvant Purchasers.
The Adjuvant Notes are accounted for in accordance with authoritative guidance for convertible debt instruments and are classified as current liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The aggregate proceeds of $25.0 million were initially classified as restricted cash for financial reporting purposes due to contractual stipulations that specify the types of expenses the money can be spent on and how it must be allocated. The conversion feature was evaluated in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (ASC 815), determined to represent an embedded derivative, and was bifurcated and classified as part of stockholders’ deficit as of March 31, 2026. See Note 6 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments for a description of the accounting treatment for the Adjuvant Purchase Rights. As of March 31, 2026, the Adjuvant Notes are recorded in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as short-term convertible notes – Adjuvant – related party with a total balance of $33.4 million. The balance is comprised of $22.5 million in principal and $10.9 million in accrued interest. As of December 31, 2025, the Adjuvant Notes were recorded in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as short-term convertible notes – Adjuvant – related party with a total balance of $32.8 million. The balance was comprised of $22.5 million in principal and $10.3 million in accrued interest.
Term Notes
Original SSNs and Exchanged SSNs
The Company entered into eight Securities Purchase Agreements (SPAs) between December 2022 and September 2023 with certain investors; each of the agreements was materially similar. Pursuant to each SPA, the Company agreed to sell in a registered direct offering (i) unsecured 8.0% senior subordinated notes with the maturity dates and aggregate issue prices (ii) warrants to purchase the listed number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock (including prefunded Common Stock Warrants as a part of the September 2023 SPA) and (iii) Series D Preferred Stock (the Preferred Shares; December 2022 SPA only) (collectively, the Original Senior Subordinated Notes, or Original SSNs). Additionally, the conversion rate and warrant strike price are subject to adjustment upon the issuance of other securities (as defined in each SPA) below the stated conversion rate and strike price at issuance.
On December 1, 2023, the Company entered into restructuring agreements with the holders of the Original SSNs, pursuant to which the Company and each holder agreed to, among other things, (i) change the governing law and jurisdiction of the Original SSNs from New York to Delaware and (ii) reissue the Original SSNs (the Exchanged SSNs) under Section 3(a)(9) exemption of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Restructuring Agreements). The maturity date of the Exchanged SSNs is December 1, 2026. No new consideration was paid and, other than the maturity date, no other terms of the Original SSNs were changed in conjunction with the Restructuring Agreements.
Assuming conversion of the entire outstanding principal at the applicable conversion price per share, the Exchanged SSNs could be converted into shares of Common Stock as of March 31, 2026.
The Exchanged SSNs’ interest rates are subject to increase to 12% upon an event of default and the Exchanged SSNs have no Company right to prepayment prior to maturity; however, the Company has the option to redeem the Exchanged SSNs at a redemption premium of 32.5%. The purchasers of the Exchanged SSNs can also require the Company to redeem their respective Exchanged SSNs a) at the respective premium rate tied to the occurrence of certain subsequent transactions, and b) in the event of subsequent placements (as defined). Also, pursuant to the terms of the Restructuring Agreements, purchasers have certain rights to participate in subsequent issuances of the Company’s securities, subject to certain exceptions. The conversion price for the Exchanged SSNs was $0.0154 as of March 31, 2026.
The Company evaluated the Original SSNs in accordance with ASC 480 and determined that the Original SSNs were all liability instruments at issuance. The applicable Original SSNs were then evaluated in accordance with the requirements of ASC 825 and the Company concluded that they were not precluded from electing the fair value option for the applicable Original SSNs.
Pursuant to the Restructuring Agreements, the Company evaluated the Exchanged SSNs under ASC 470, and concluded that the exchange represented a non-substantial modification of the Original SSNs. Accordingly, the Company accounted for the Exchanged SSNs as a modification of the Original SSNs rather than as an extinguishment which would require derecognizing the fair value of Original SSNs and related accumulated other comprehensive loss and replacing them with the fair value of the Exchanged SSNs.
The Company also evaluated the Warrants in accordance with ASC 480 and as of both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, determined the warrants should be classified as equity instruments as of each date.
