All Capitalized terms not defined herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the Notes.
Pursuant to the Amendment Agreement, the maturity date of the Notes was extended from September 29, 2023 to November 28, 2023. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Waiver and Deferral Agreement, holders temporarily waived, through November 28, 2023, certain specified events of default, the required payment of certain fees pursuant to 2(g) of the Notes, and any requirement that the company conduct a repurchase of the Notes in the event of Fundamental Change (as defined in the Notes). The Company remitted a cash payment of $211,793.31 to the holders in cash, representing all Interest accrued on the Purchased Third Option Notes through September 30, 2023 and certain fees.
