Key Details

• Pre‑Paid Advance: $15,958,000 face amount purchased at 94% for net proceeds of $15,000,520.
• Interest & default rate: 4% annual interest; increases to 18% upon specified events of default.
• Share offset pricing: Yorkville may convert outstanding balance into shares at the lower of (a) $0.2153 fixed price or (b) 90% of the lowest VWAP over the five trading days before a purchase notice, subject to a $0.10 floor.
• Amortization trigger and cash payments: If shares are not eligible for sale under an effective registration statement for 10 consecutive trading days or the company hits its share‑issuance cap (an “Amortization Event”), monthly cash payments start on the 7th trading day after that date. Each monthly payment equals the lesser of $2,500,000 or the outstanding principal at the event date, plus a 10% premium on that principal amount, plus accrued interest, until repaid or the registration/cap issue is cured.
• Prepayment: Company may prepay (in whole or part) with 10 trading days’ notice if VWAP is below the fixed price; prepayments incur a 10% premium plus accrued interest.
• Fees and registration: Company paid $35,000 in structuring/due‑diligence fees to Yorkville. PPA Shares to be issued under Form S‑3 (File No. 333‑291595); legal opinion attached as Exhibit 5.1. The filing also notes creation of a direct financial obligation (Item 2.03) and furnishes a press release (Item 7.01).

Why It Matters
This transaction provides immediate cash of about $15.0M, which can extend operating runway. However, it also creates a funded obligation that can be satisfied either by issuing potentially dilutive shares at a variable, often discounted price or by sizable monthly cash payments if share issuance becomes restricted. The interest rate jump to 18% on default and the 10% prepayment/ amortization premiums increase the effective cost of this financing under adverse conditions. Investors should weigh the near‑term liquidity benefit against possible stock dilution and the risk of higher cash outflows if amortization events occur.
