Debt - Third Parties:
Whitehawk Finance LLC
In December 2021, the Company and substantially all of its direct and indirect subsidiaries (the “Loan Parties”) entered into a term loan credit facility, dated December 31, 2021 (the “Credit Agreement”), with Whitehawk Finance LLC, as lender (the “Lender”), and White Hawk Capital Partners, LP, as collateral agent (“Whitehawk” or the “Collateral Agent”). Under the Credit Agreement, the Company received an initial term loan of $58.5 million and a subsequent
delayed draw facility of up to $10 million (collectively, the “Term Loans”). The Term Loans are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company. As amended, the Company’s interest rate is calculated as the Daily Simple SOFR, subject to a floor of 1%, plus the SOFR Term Adjustment and Applicable Margin, each as defined in the Credit Agreement, as amended.
Covenant Compliance and Liquidity Considerations
The Company's Credit Agreement, as amended to date, requires compliance with certain monthly covenants, which include provisions regarding over advance limitations based upon a borrowing base. In the second quarter of 2023, as part of obtaining an appropriate waiver, the Company agreed to engage a financial advisor and to use commercial reasonable efforts to refinance the Credit Agreement with an alternative lender and repay the Credit Facility by September 30, 2023, or as soon thereafter as practical. The waiver did not amend the maturity date of the Credit Agreement. Upon repayment, the Company will be subject to a prepayment premium that is higher than the prepayment premium included in the original Credit Agreement, as defined in the waiver.
The Company has either implemented or initiated appropriate plans regarding refinancing procedures that are within management’s control to comply with the waiver requirements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of the Company’s ability to refinance and repay the credit facility.

In February 2024, the Company paid $1.7 million, inclusive of a $0.1 million pre-payment penalty, to Whitehawk to maintain compliance with the borrowing base covenant calculation as of January 31, 2024. After the payment the Company was in compliance with the borrowing base covenant.
The Company was not in compliance with its financial covenant related to the borrowing base under the Credit Agreement at December 31, 2023. The non-compliance was cured by a waiver applied in accordance with the Fifth Amendment to the Credit Agreement dated March 14, 2024 which waived any Event of Default that may have arisen directly as a result of the financial covenant default at December 31, 2023 and in the interim two-month period ended February 29, 2024. The Fifth Amendment also amended and restated the Senior Leverage Ratio and Minimum Liquidity requirements. Under the Fifth Amendment, the Senior Leverage Ratio requirement at March 31, 2024 was amended from 2.00 to 6.00, at June 30, 2024 will remain at 2.00 and thereafter will remain at 1.75.

On April 19, 2024, the Company entered into a sixth amendment to the Credit Agreement with the Collateral Agent and Lender (the “Sixth Amendment”). The Sixth Amendment provided the Company with an additional $2 million working capital bridge loan in April 2024, and an additional $3 million working capital bridge loan in June 2024, of which $2 million was advanced to the Company. The Company was required to pay a fee equal to 6% of the aggregate amount of borrowings under the Sixth Amendment (i.e. $4.0 million). Both working capital bridge loans, including the related fee were paid in full by November 2024, and were not subject to prepayment penalties.

On August 12, 2024, the Company entered into a seventh amendment to the Credit Agreement with the Collateral Agent and Lender (the “Seventh Amendment”) to (i) reduce the intellectual property sublimit under the borrowing base from $15.0 million to $11.2 million, and (ii) waive the event of default that may have arisen directly as a result of the Financial Covenant Default (as defined in the Seventh Amendment) at June 30, 2024.

On November 14, 2024, the Company obtained a waiver for the Credit Agreement from the Collateral Agent and Lender (the “November 2024 Waiver”) to waive any events of default that may have arisen directly as a result of (i) the Financial Covenant Default (as defined in the November 2024 Waiver) at September 30, 2024 and (ii) the Borrowing Base Default (as defined in the November 2024 Waiver) for the month ended October 31, 2024. In conjunction with obtaining the waiver, the Company paid down approximately $1.1 million under the Credit Agreement, inclusive of $60 thousand of prepayment penalties.

The Company was not in compliance with its financial covenant related to the Senior Leverage Ratio under the Credit Agreement at December 31, 2024. In addition, the Company was not in compliance with its borrowing base covenant under the Credit Agreement at December 31, 2024, January 31, 2024 and February 28, 2025. On March 24, 2025, the Company entered into an eighth amendment to the Credit Agreement with the Collateral Agent and Lender (the “Eighth Amendment”) to (i) provide the Company with an additional $2.5 million working capital bridge loan and (ii) waive any events of default that may have arisen as a result of the Company’s failure to (A) maintain the required ratio of indebtedness to adjusted EBITDA (defined more specifically as the “Senior Leverage Ratio” in the Credit Agreement) for the periods ended December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2025 and (B) maintain a value of specified assets in excess of certain
borrowings (defined more specifically as a “Borrowing Base” in the Credit Agreement) for the months ended December 31, 2024, January 31, 2025 and February 28, 2025. In addition, no payments were required to be made by the Company to pay down the borrowing base defaults for December 2024, January 2025 and February 2025. The Company is required to pay a fee equal to 6% of the working capital bridge loan under the Eighth Amendment. The bridge loan, including the related fee, was due and payable in full on August 31, 2025. In conjunction with obtaining the Eighth Amendment, the Company also was required to comply with the following covenants:

Initiate recapitalization efforts and/or other financing arrangements with target completion milestones starting on March 21, 2025 through an expected completion of the recapitalization and/or repayment of the debt by June 16, 2025 (the “Recapitalization Requirement”). Not meeting these dates was an event of default under the credit facility. The Company did not meet this requirement.

Provide budgets to the Lender with variances in excess of specified thresholds resulting in an event of default at the discretion of the Lender. The Company is also required to meet with a financial advisor, as designated by the Lender, if requested.

In addition, the Eighth Amendment prohibits the Company from paying dividends or distributions to the preferred stockholders and reduces the borrowing base calculations by reducing the value assigned to its intellectual property to $11.2 million.

The Company also was not in compliance with its financial covenant related to the borrowing base under the Credit Agreement at March 31, 2025. However, the non-compliance was cured by the payment of approximately $1.3 million under the Credit Agreement in April and May 2025.

The Company was not in compliance with its financial covenant related to the Senior Leverage Ratio under the Credit Agreement at September 30, 2025. In addition, the Company was not in compliance with its borrowing base covenant under the Credit Agreement at July 31, 2025, August 31, 2025, and September 30, 2025. On August 13, 2025, the Company entered into a forbearance agreement and ninth amendment and waiver to the Credit Agreement with the Collateral Agent and Lender (the “Ninth Amendment”) to waive any events of default that may have arisen directly as a result of (1) the Financial Covenant Event of Default (as defined in the Ninth Amendment) for the period ended June 30, 2025, (2) the Borrowing Base defaults described in the Ninth Amendment for the months ended April 30, 2024, May 31, 2025, June 30, 2025, and July 31, 2025, and (3) the failure to comply with the Recapitalization Requirement. In connection with the Ninth Amendment, the Company agreed to increase its quarterly principal payment due on September 30, 2025 from the scheduled $0.7 million to $1.0 million and to change its interest payments from being due quarterly to being due monthly beginning in August 2025.
Issuance Cost and Warrants
In conjunction with its receipt of the Initial Loan, the Company issued to the Lender (i) 13,205 shares of Class A common stock (the “Shares”), which Shares were registered pursuant to its existing shelf registration statement and were delivered to the Lender in January 2022, (ii) a warrant to purchase 51,083 shares of Class A common stock (subject to increase to the extent that 3% of any Series B and Series C convertible preferred stock converted into Class A common stock), exercisable at $80.00 per share (the “Warrant”), which Warrant was subject to repricing on March 31, 2022 based on the arithmetic volume weighted average prices for the 30 trading days prior to September 30, 2022, in the event the Company’s stock is then trading below $80.00 per share, (iii) a 3% fee of $1,800,000, and (iv) a $500,000 original issue discount. In addition, the Company agreed to register for resale the shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant. The Company also incurred agency fees, legal fees, and other costs in connection with the execution of the Credit Agreement totaling approximately $1.7 million. Under the terms of the warrant issued to Whitehawk on December 31, 2021, the exercise price of the warrants would reprice if the stock price on March 31, 2022 was less than the original exercise price, at which time the number of warrants would also be increased proportionately, so that after such adjustment the aggregate exercise price payable for the increased number of warrant shares would be the same as the aggregate exercise price previously in effect. The warrants repriced on March 31, 2022 to $47.60 per share and the shares increased to 85,853.
On July 22, 2022, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with an accredited institutional investor. According to the terms of the Credit Agreement, as amended, the Purchase Agreement triggered a reduction of the exercise price of the warrants and a revaluation of the derivative liability. The Whitehawk warrants were repriced to $44.00, and shares increased to 92,877.
On February 19, 2025, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with certain institutional accredited investors. According to the terms of the Credit Agreement, as amended, the Purchase Agreement triggered a reduction of the exercise price of the Whitehawk warrants and a revaluation of the derivative liability. The Whitehawk warrants were repriced to $19.39, and shares increased to 210,723.
On September 23, 2025, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with certain institutional accredited investors. The Whitehawk warrants were repriced to $15.11, and shares increased to 270,463.
