Partial Redemption of 12.5% Senior Secured Notes due 2025

On November 4, 2022 and December 16, 2022, the Company issued two separate notices of partial redemption pursuant to the indenture, dated as of July 15, 2021 (the “Indenture”), between the Company and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association (as successor in interest to U.S. Bank National Association) as trustee and collateral agent governing its 12.5% Senior Secured Notes due 2025 (the “12.5% Notes”).

On January 3, 2023 and February 14, 2023, the Company redeemed $3,765 and $1,882 of its outstanding 12.5% Notes, respectively. In addition to the two principal repayments along with accrued and unpaid interest, the Company also paid $352 in prepayment premium as result of the early retirement of debt, which will be reflected on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss in the first quarter of 2023. The result of these two prepayments reduced the net balance of the 12.5% Notes outstanding in the aggregate to $45,853.
