 each case, the Company and its subsidiaries concurrently provide a guarantee of the Company’s obligations under the 2029 Notes.

These covenants may adversely affect our ability to finance our operations, meet or otherwise address our capital needs, pursue business opportunities or react to market conditions, or otherwise restrict our activities or business plans. 

A breach of any of the covenants under the Letter Agreement could result in an event of default under the 2029 Notes. As of September 30, 2025, we were in compliance with all covenants under the Letter Agreement. However, if an event of default occurs, SBN could accelerate our obligations under the 2029 Notes. Any such acceleration could result in an event of default under our other indebtedness, including the 2030 Notes.

If the Notes are converted, it may adversely affect our financial condition and operating results.

Holders of either series of Notes are entitled to convert their respective series of Notes at any time at their option. If one or more holders elect to convert the Notes of the applicable series, unless we elect to satisfy our conversion obligation by delivering solely shares of our common stock (other than paying cash in lieu of delivering any fractional share), we would be required to settle a portion or all of our conversion obligation in cash, which could adversely affect our liquidity. In addition, issuances of shares of common stock upon conversion of our Notes could depress the market price of our common stock and impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities. The existence of the Notes may encourage short selling by market participants because the conversion of the Notes could depress the price of our common stock.
