The Company is subject to certain covenants and cure provisions under its Loan Agreement with Innovatus Life Sciences Lending Fund I, LP. The Loan Agreement includes a financial covenant that requires actual consolidated revenue from the sale and supply of hemodialysis products for the trailing six-month period (ended on the date when tested), to be not less than 80.0% of the projections for the same period beginning with the quarter ending September 30, 2024. Because those projections were submitted prior to the loss of a substantial amount of business from DaVita, the Company did not satisfy this covenant in the second quarter of 2025. The Company subsequently resolved the noncompliance by submitting an updated financial projection to Innovatus, which Innovatus accepted. As of June 30, 2025, the Company was in compliance with all covenants, other than as described above.
