The Intercreditor Agreement provides, among other things, for the relative priorities of the security interests in the assets securing the 7.00% Convertible Senior Secured Second Lien PIK Toggle Notes due 2030 (the “New Convertible Notes”), the loans pursuant to the Loan and Security Agreement and certain of the Company’s additional debt. On December 22, 2025, the parties to the Intercreditor Agreement entered into an amendment to the Intercreditor Agreement (the “Intercreditor Agreement Amendment”) to, among other things, permit the Company to enter into exchanges of its Second Lien Obligations (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) for shares of the Company’s common stock. The foregoing description of the Intercreditor Agreement Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Intercreditor Agreement Amendment, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and is incorporated by reference herein.
Warrant Strike Price Adjustment
As previously reported, on May 7, 2025, the Company and Unprocessed Foods entered into a warrant agreement (the “Warrant Agreement”) setting forth the rights and obligations of the Company and Unprocessed Foods, as holder (in such capacity, the “Holder”), providing for the issuance, in connection with the extension of loans pursuant to the Loan and Security Agreement, of warrants (the “Warrants”) representing such Holder’s right to purchase up to, in the aggregate, 9,558,635 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price that was determined to be $3.26 per share based on the terms of the Warrant Agreement. Subsequently, on June 26, 2025, the Company issued to Unprocessed Foods Warrants to purchase 3,823,454 shares of common stock and on September 18, 2025, the Company issued to Unprocessed Foods Warrants to purchase 5,735,181 shares of common stock, in each case in connection with the Company’s drawing down the loans pursuant to the Loan and Security Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the Warrant Agreement, the exercise price of the Warrants is subject to a weighted average adjustment for certain below-market issuances of equity or equity-linked securities, subject to exceptions. The Company has agreed pursuant to a side letter agreement with Unprocessed Foods dated as of December 22, 2025 (the “Side Letter Agreement”) that the strike price for the Warrants will be adjusted from $3.26 to $1.95 in order to fully account for any and all potential past or future adjustments relating to the previously reported exchange of its 0% Convertible Senior Notes due 2027 for $209,721,000 in principal amount of New Convertible Notes and 317,834,446 shares of common stock that was completed on October 30, 2025, the payment of interest on the New Convertible Notes in the form of common stock or in the form of payment-in-kind interest, as well as certain mandatory conversions, equitizations and make-whole payments that could result in additional issuances of common stock thereunder, if any. There was no corresponding adjustment to the number of shares of common stock underlying the Warrants. The foregoing description of the Side Letter Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Side Letter Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and is incorporated by reference herein.
