ourt Restructuring”).

If the out-of-court restructuring is consummated, our stockholders will experience substantial dilution. Based on share information as of February 12, 2025, 2025 and assuming the Subscription Price is $0.2920 per share, Ascend and Bluescape would hold more than 80% of our outstanding Common Stock immediately after the Transaction, in addition to approximately 68.5 million shares they may acquire upon exercise of the Warrants. Our current stockholders would hold less than 20% of our Common Stock immediately after the Transaction. If Ascend and Bluescape were to choose to act together, they would be able to control all matters submitted to our stockholders for approval, as well as our management and affairs. For example, these parties, if they choose to act together, could control the election of directors and approval of any merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of our assets. This concentration of ownership control may delay, defer or prevent a change in control, entrench our management or the board of directors, or impede a merger, consolidation, takeover or other business combination involving us that other stockholders may desire.

These parties may have interests that are different than those of other stockholders. Additionally, Ascend and Bluescape will each have the right to designate two directors to serve on our Board immediately following the Transaction.

The consummation of the of-court restructuring is subject to various closing conditions, including approval by our stockholders. If the out-of-court restructuring is not consummated, then we will commence Chapter 11 Cases as contemplated by the Restructuring Support Agreement and seek approval to implement the Pre-Packaged Chapter 11 Plan. Under such plan, the equity interests of our stockholders would be extinguished in their entirety.

As long as the Convertible Notes remain outstanding, there are risks associated with the Convertible Notes that could adversely affect our business and financial condition.

We initially issued $60.0 million aggregate principal amount of our Convertible Notes in August 2022 pursuant to a note purchase agreement, which was subsequently amended and restated in January 2024 and then further amended and restated on May 28, 2024 (the “Amendment No. 2” and, as further, the “Amended and Restated Note Purchase Agreement”) in connection with the issuance and sale of the June 2024 Notes in an aggregate principal amount of $6.0 million pursuant to the Amended and Restated Note Purchase
