Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

 

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented with the following:

 

Debt Commitment Letter

 

On August 25, 2024, the Issuer entered into a commitment letter (the “Debt Commitment Letter”) with Ascend Global, pursuant to which Ascend Global has agreed to purchase $3.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Issuer’s Notes in a private placement, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein (the “Debt Financing”). The funding of the Debt Financing pursuant to the Debt Commitment Letter is contingent on the satisfaction of certain conditions set forth therein, including the Issuer’s consummation of an equity financing (the “Equity Financing”) and the amendment of the Issuer’s existing Amended and Restated Note Purchase Agreement. The Notes will be substantially identical to the Issuer’s outstanding secured convertible promissory notes, and the conversion price for the Notes will be 125% of the price per share of the shares sold in the Equity Financing. Unless otherwise agreed by the parties, the Debt Commitment Letter will terminate on September 17, 2024 if the Debt Financing has not been consummated before such date.

 

The foregoing description of the Debt Commitment Letter does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the agreement, which is included as an exhibit to this Schedule 13D.
