    Item 6.Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer
     
    Item 6 of the Initial 13D is hereby amended and restated as follows: As previously disclosed by the Company in its Schedule 14A filed with the SEC on May 10, 2024, Bryant R. Riley pledged as collateral a portion of his shares of Common Stock in favor of Axos Bank pursuant to the terms of a Credit Agreement, dated as of March 19, 2019, as amended from time to time and most recently on March 27, 2025, by and between Mr. Riley and Axos Bank (the "Credit Agreement') and a Pledge Agreement, dated as of the same date, executed and delivered by Mr. Riley in favor of Axos Bank (as amended from time to time, the "Pledge Agreement"). As previously disclosed by Mr. Riley in Amendment No. 2 to the Initial 13D, following the entry into the Credit Agreement and the Pledge Agreement, Mr. Riley and Axos Bank entered into multiple amendments to both of those agreements, and Mr. Riley pledged additional shares of Common Stock in favor of Axos Bank, including an initial 4,024,714 shares of Common Stock upon initially entering into the Credit Agreement and Pledge Agreement in March 2019 and additional shares in favor of Axos Bank on multiple occasions for a total of 5,804,124 shares of Common Stock as of the date of Amendment No. 2 to the Initial 13D and as of April 9, 2025. The shares of Common Stock pledged by Mr. Riley constitutes only a portion of the collateral security under the Credit Agreement. The March 27, 2025 amendment to the Credit Agreement (the "Ninth Amendment") modifies the amount of credit available under the revolving credit line to $21,407,944 (the "Loan Amount") and extends the Maturity Date to April 1, 2026. As of April 9, 2025, the amount of principal and interest outstanding under the Credit Agreement was $21,407,944. Interest on amounts advanced under the Credit Agreement is payable by Mr. Riley, at Mr. Riley's option, either monthly in arrears or such interest may be accrued and added to the amount of outstanding principal under the Credit Agreement subject to undrawn availability thereunder. Upon the occurrence of certain events that are customary for these types of loans, including satisfaction of loan-to-collateral value ratios, Axos Bank may exercise their rights to require Mr. Riley to pre-pay the loan proceeds or post additional collateral, and Axos Bank may exercise their rights to foreclose on, and dispose of, the pledged shares and other collateral, in each case, in accordance with the Credit Agreement and Pledge Agreement. Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries is a party to the Credit Agreement, the Pledge Agreement or any other agreements between Mr. Riley and Axos Bank. The Pledge Agreement allows Axos Bank under certain specified circumstances set forth in the Credit Agreement and Pledge Agreement (including upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default pursuant to the Credit Agreement and Pledge Agreement) to cause a sale of Mr. Riley's Common Stock that has been pledged to Axos Bank. The pledge of Mr. Riley's Common Stock under the Pledge Agreement includes, among other things, a pledge of all management rights, voting rights and control rights, and all rights to grant or withhold consents and approvals in connection with such Common Stock. The foregoing description of the Pledge Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full copies of the Pledge Agreement and amendments thereto incorporated herein by reference and filed as Exhibits 1, 2 and 3 to Amendment No. 2 to the Initial 13D.

        SIGNATURE 
     
    After reasonable inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and belief, I certify that the information set forth in this statement is true, complete and correct.
