Pursuant to Section 5(d) of the Loan Agreement, the Company may, with the prior written consent of the Required Lenders (ATW, or if ATW does not hold any Loans, lenders holding at least 50.1% of the outstanding principal Loan balance), and subject to Nasdaq rules, voluntarily reduce the then current conversion price to any amount and for any period of time deemed appropriate by the board of directors of the Company. The conversion of the Loans is subject to the Lender’s beneficial ownership limitation of 4.99% of outstanding shares (except one Lender).

On January 3, 2025, the Company reduced the conversion price of the Loans to $1.59 (after giving effect to the Company's reverse stock split), which was the closing price of the Company's common stock on January 2, 2025.
