On the Effective Date, we entered into the Original SEPA with Yorkville which was amended and restated on October 31, 2024 pursuant to the A&R SEPA (together with the Original SEPA, the “SEPA”). Pursuant to the SEPA, Yorkville will advance to us, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions as set forth therein, the principal amount of $3 million (the “Pre-Paid Advance”), which will be evidenced by convertible promissory notes (the “Promissory Notes”) in two tranches. The Promissory Notes will accrue interest on the outstanding principal balance at an annual rate equal to 0%, which will increase to an annual rate of 18% upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the Promissory Notes) or a Registration Event (as defined in the Promissory Notes) for so long as such event remains uncured. The Promissory Notes will mature on November 13, 2025, which may be extended at the option of Yorkville. The Promissory Notes are convertible at a conversion price equal to the lower of (i) $2.1480 per share or (ii) 93% of the lowest daily volume weighted average price of our common stock on Nasdaq as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (“VWAP”) during the five consecutive trading days immediately preceding the conversion date (but no lower than the “floor price” then in effect, which is $0.3580 per share, subject to adjustment from time to time in accordance with the terms contained in the Promissory Notes).
