On May 24, 2024, the Company entered into settlement agreements with the Investors (each a “Settlement Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to pay aggregate cash payments equal to $1,789,668.37 to extinguish all obligations and claims under the SPA, Original Notes, and Exchange Notes, as follows: (i) $500,000.00 on or before May 28, 2024 and (ii) $1,289,668.37 on or before September 30, 2024.
