 22, 2025 to reschedule the repayment dates to occur from April 2026 to September 2026. Additionally, the amendment added a provision whereby in the event the Merger Agreement is terminated, any advances then outstanding under the MOA would become due and payable on April 1, 2026. 

Our ability to align our costs, including both internal and supply chain related spending, to react to unexpected changes in customer-determined production rates has had and will likely continue to have a material impact on our results of operations and cash flows. Our liquidity has been impacted by higher levels of inventory and contract assets, lower operational cash flows due to a decrease in expected deliveries to Boeing, higher factory costs to maintain rate readiness, and the limitations on Boeing increasing production rates. 

Additionally, we were in negotiations with Airbus related to pricing adjustments on the A220 and A350 programs during 2023 and continuing into 2024 with a goal of completing those negotiations in early 2024.

Accordingly, substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern exists.

Management has developed a plan designed to improve liquidity in response to the developments highlighted above. These plans are dependent upon many factors, including, among other things, the timing and expected proceeds received from certain divestitures, the expected timing and outcome of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and the Purchase Agreement, and achieving anticipated B737 deliveries. Management is also evaluating additional strategies intended to improve liquidity to support operations, including, but not limited to, additional customer advances and restructuring of operations in an effort to increase efficiency and decrease expenses, which may include layoffs or additional f
