    *The conversion of shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock reported herein is subject to the Blocker and the percentage set forth in row (13) gives effect to the Blocker. However, rows (8), (10) and (11) show the number of shares of Common Stock that would be issuable upon the conversion of the shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock in full and does not give effect to the Blocker. Therefore, the actual number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Reporting Person, after giving effect to the Blocker, is less than the number of securities reported in rows (8), (10) and (11).

     

    CUSIP No. 550351100SCHEDULE 13D/APage 11 of 13 Pages

    The following constitutes Amendment No. 1 (“Amendment No. 1”) to the Schedule 13D filed by the undersigned with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 27, 2023 (the “Original Schedule 13D” and the Original Schedule 13D as amended by this Amendment No. 1, the “Schedule 13D”). This Amendment No. 1 amends the Schedule 13D as specifically set forth herein. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined in this Amendment No. 1 have the meanings set forth in the Schedule 13D.

     

    Item 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION

     

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

     

     

    On July 19, 2024 (the “Closing Date”), certain funds affiliated with the Investment Manager (each, a “Lender” and collectively, the “Lenders”) entered into a Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”), with the Issuer, as borrower, Luna Technologies, Inc. and General Photonics Corp. as guarantors (together with the Issuer, the “Loan Parties”), and White Hat Lightning Opportunity LP, as agent (the “Agent”). The Loan Agreement provides for a delayed-draw term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $15.0 million (the “Loan Facility”), which may be drawn in a series of term loan borrowings (each, a “Term Loan” and collectively, the “Term Loans”). Of the Loan Facility, $9.0 million was drawn on the Closing Date. Up to an additional $3.0 million may be drawn beginning August 16, 2024, with the remaining $3.0 million available beginning October 1, 2024, in each case, subject to, among other conditions, the Issuer’s continued pursuit of a Sale Transaction (as defined in the Loan Agreement). The Loan Facility will mature on the earlier of (i) December 31, 2024, subject to possible extension to April 30, 2025 if the Issuer meets certain milestones related to a Sale Transaction, and (ii) the date on which a Sale Transaction closes. The obligations under the Loan Agreement are secured by a second priority lien on substantially all of the assets of the Loan Parties. The Loan Agreement contains customary events of default, representations, warranties and covenants of the parties.

    The foregoing description of the Loan Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Loan Agreement. For further information regarding the Loan Agreement, reference is made to the full text of the Loan Agreement, which has been filed as Exhibit 99.4 hereto and incorporated by reference herein.
