Following acceptance by the New York Stock Exchange of the Issuer’s supplemental listing application, the Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement requires the Issuer to issue to the holders of Notes warrants exercisable for an amount of the Common Stock equal to 100% of the Note principal, which will be exercisable for $0.25 per share of Common Stock, have a 5-year term, and may be repurchased by the Issuer when the trading price of its Common Stock exceeds $1.50 for 20 out of any 30 consecutive trading days.
 
If the Notes have not been repaid within six or nine months after issuance, the Notes will begin to bear interest at the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus 9% and at SOFR plus 12%, respectively, and an additional 25% warrant coverage will be provided at each such date, with a per share exercise price equal to 120% of the trading price of the Common Stock at the time of issuance and a redemption right in favor of the Issuer when the trading price of the Common Stock is greater than 200% of the applicable exercise price for 20 out of any 30 consecutive trading days.
 
Shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants will be limited to an aggregate of 19.9% of the Issuer’s outstanding Common Stock until such time as the transaction is approved by the Issuer’s stockholders.
