As of the date of the Second Notice of Intent, the Company had the following amounts outstanding under each such note issuance: (i) approximately $42.6 million in principal and unpaid interest through April 2024 in the aggregate under the Secured Loan Notes; (ii) approximately $10.5 million in principal and interest through December 2023 in the aggregate under the Secured Convertible Notes; (iii) approximately $3.57 million in principal, interest and extension fees in the aggregate under the Second Lien Note, and (iv) $2.2 million in principal and redemption premium in the aggregate under the Unsecured Note.

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

As previously disclosed on May 31, 2023, the Company received written notice (the “Delisting Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that, as a result of the filing of the Notice of Intent and in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rules 5101, 5110(b) and IM-5101-1, Nasdaq had determined that the Company’s common shares and public warrants (collectively, the “Public Securities”) will be delisted from Nasdaq. The Company does not intend to appeal this determination.
