Previous wording

The convertible notes that we issued in May 2025 include certain limitation on the total dollars we can raise under our ATM program and also may require us to use the proceeds of the ATM program to pay down the principal and interest on those convertible notes. In addition, the investors in our December 2024 convertible note financing have certain rights of participation in our future financings. Any limitations which are imposed on our ability to utilize this “at the market offering” or require us to use the proceeds of the ATM program to pay down the notes rather than on our business could have an adverse effect on our results of operation. We could also be required to raise capital through other means and there is no assurance will be available on terms that are acceptable to us.

Previous wording

We issued $10.0 million in convertible notes to investors in May 2025 and have the option to issue up to an additional $15.0 million in convertible notes under the same investment agreement. Our debt level and the need to meet related covenants can have negative consequences. We may incur more debt in the future, and there can be no assurance that our cost of funding will not substantially increase. The convertible notes also impose certain restrictions on us, including financial covenants and events of default. Upon an event of default, for example, the lenders can get an increased rate of return and force a redemption, which could adversely affect our liquidity and financial condition.
