Subordinated Credit Facility Credit Facility
On June 17, 2024, we entered into a senior secured loan facility with a syndicate of lenders, which replaced our prior credit facility. As further discussed below, we subsequently amended the credit facility on October 17, 2024, March 3, 2025 and July 21, 2025 (the "Credit Facility"). At July 31, 2025, the Credit Facility consists of a remaining $116,260,000 term loan (the "Term Loan" facility) and (ii) an asset-based revolving credit facility with revolving commitments in an aggregate principal amount of $54,750,000, subject to borrowing base limitations as described below (the "Revolving Loan" facility). At closing, the proceeds were used to repay the prior credit facility in full and for working capital and other general corporate purposes. The obligations under the Credit Facility are guaranteed by certain of our domestic and foreign subsidiaries (the "Guarantors"), who have granted for the benefit of the lenders, a lien on, and first priority security interest in, substantially all of our tangible and intangible assets.
The Credit Facility was amended on October 17, 2024 (the "First Amendment") which, among other things: (i) waived all defaults under the Credit Facility, specifically in connection with our Net Leverage Ratio and Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio covenants as of July 31, 2024; (ii) increased the interest rate margins applicable to the Term Loan to 12.00% per annum for Base Rate Loans and 13.00% per annum for SOFR Loans and increased interest rate margins applicable to the Revolving Loan by 1.00% at each level; (iii) permitted the incurrence of $25,000,000 of total unsecured subordinated debt (as described below); (iv) suspended testing of the Net Leverage Ratio and the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio covenants until January 31, 2025; (v) provided the lenders a consent right with respect to Revolver Loan borrowings above $32,500,000; and (vi) amended the maturity date to the earlier of: (x) July 31, 2028; or (y) 90 days prior to the earliest date that the debt under the Subordinated Credit Facility (as defined below) becomes due and payable.

The Credit Facility was amended again on March 3, 2025 (the "Second Amendment") which, among other things: (i) waived all defaults under the Credit Facility, specifically in connection with our Net Leverage Ratio and Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio covenants as of January 31, 2025; (ii) decreased the interest rate margins applicable to the Term Loan from 12.00% per annum to 9.50% per annum for Base Rate Loans and from 13.00% per annum to 10.50% per annum for SOFR Loans; (iii) permitted the incurrence of an additional $40,000,000 of total unsecured subordinated debt (as described below); (iv) suspended testing of the Net Leverage Ratio and the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio covenants until October 31, 2025; (v) suspended our ability to pay interest in-kind until after the interest rate margins are tested based on net leverage ratios; (vi) permitted partial principal repayments of $27,252,000 and $9,084,000 on the Term Loan and Revolving Loan, respectively, and waived the prepayment fees that would have been payable under the Credit Facility with regard to such repayments; (vii) permanently reduced commitments under the Revolving Loan Facility by $3,179,000 and provided the lenders a consent right with respect to Revolver Loan borrowings above $29,321,000; (viii) reduced the minimum quarterly average liquidity requirement from $20,000,000 to $17,500,000; and (ix) provided the lenders the right to appoint an independent director to our Board of Directors after May 31, 2025 (which has been satisfied as of the issuance date).

The Credit Facility was further amended on July 21, 2025 (the "Third Amendment") which, among other things: (i) suspends, until the four-quarter period ending January 31, 2027, testing of the Net Leverage Ratio, the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio and the Minimum EBITDA covenants; (ii) altered the interest rate margins applicable to Term Loans (as described in further detail below); (iii) delays the scheduled repayment of a portion of the principal of the Term Loans (as described in further detail below); (iv) delays the scheduled repayment of fees due pursuant to the Second Amendment; (v) reduced the minimum EBITDA requirement (as described in further detail below); (vi) reduced the minimum quarterly average liquidity requirement from $17,500,000 to $15,000,000; (vii) permits us to engage in the sale or disposition of certain properties and assets approved by the Administrative Agent (the “Specified Permitted Individual Disposition”), on the terms, and subject to documentation, reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, so long as 65% of the net cash proceeds are applied against the outstanding principal amount of the obligations under the Credit Facility and 35% of the net cash proceeds are applied against the outstanding principal amount of the subordinated term loans under the Subordinated Credit Facility (as defined below); and (viii) required us to adopt management incentive and retention arrangements for our key personnel in connection with the contemplation of our strategic alternatives.

The Third Amendment provides that the interest rate margins on the Term Loans are 9.50% and 10.50% for Base Rate Loans and SOFR Loans, respectively, until the first business day of the month following January 31, 2027, when we have delivered financial statements demonstrating compliance with the financial covenants under the Credit Facility. If demonstrated, the interest rate margins revert to: (i) for Base Rate Loans, a margin ranging from 7.50% to 9.00% and (ii) for SOFR Loans, a margin ranging from 8.50% to 10.00%, in each case, based on whether our Net Leverage Ratio during the applicable determination period ranges from less than 1.75x to greater than or equal to 3.25x, respectively.
The Third Amendment defers $3,037,500 of scheduled term loan repayments otherwise due on July 31, 2025 until: (x) the maturity of the Credit Facility, or (y) January 31, 2026, in the case that we had not filed by December 31, 2025, either (i) a Form 10-K annual report accompanied by an opinion of our independent registered public accounting firm free from any “going concern” or like qualification or exception with respect to our consolidated financial statements for the relevant fiscal year ended, or (ii) a Form 10-Q quarterly report that included footnote disclosure (with which our independent registered public accounting firm would not disagree) in the financial statements accompanied thereby that affirmatively included management's assessment that there is no longer a substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. With the filing of our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2025, we have determined that the $3,037,500 will be due upon the maturity of the Credit Facility.

Under the Third Amendment, once financial covenant testing resumes on January 31, 2027, in addition to complying with the minimum quarterly average liquidity requirement, we will be required to comply with: (i) a maximum Net Leverage Ratio of 2.75x as of January 31, 2027; 2.75x as of April 30, 2027 and 2.65x as of July 31, 2027 and thereafter; (ii) a minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of 1.30x commencing with the four fiscal quarter period ending January 31, 2027 and 1.35x commencing with the four fiscal quarter period ending July 31, 2027 and thereafter; and (iii) minimum EBITDA of: (a) $32,500,000 for the four-quarter period ending January 31, 2027; (b) $35,000,000 for the four-quarter period ending April 30, 2027; (c) $37,500,000 for the four-quarter period ending July 31, 2027; and $40,000,000 for the four-quarter period ending October 31, 2027 and thereafter.

We accounted for the October 17, 2024, March 3, 2025 and July 21, 2025 amendments to our Credit Facility as debt modifications.

At the time of entering into the Third Amendment, and through and including the issuance date, there were no ongoing events of default. Over the next twelve months beyond the issuance date, we believe that it is probable we will be able to comply with the covenants required by the Credit Facility. As a result, we have presented our debt obligations as either current or long-term on the Consolidated Balance Sheet, based on their scheduled repayment or maturity dates.

Additional Credit Facility Details

In connection with entering the Credit Facility, the Term Loan lenders received 1,435,884 detachable warrants ("Lender warrants") granted at an exercise price of $0.10 per common share which entitles the Term Loan lenders to purchase 1,435,884 shares of our common stock from us at any time and from time to time after the Closing Date and on or prior to June 17, 2031, subject to certain adjustments. If the Term Loan is refinanced, the Term Loan lenders have the right to sell up to 50.0% of the warrants back to us for cash, at a 10.0% discount to the 30-day volume weighted average price of our common stock, subject to certain adjustments. We determined that the Lender warrants met the definition of a freestanding financial instrument that should be accounted for as a liability. We established an initial Lender warrant liability of $3,011,000 which was allocated as a discount against the Term Loan proceeds. The Lender warrant liability is classified in "Warrant and derivative liabilities" on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and is remeasured to its estimated fair value each reporting period, using Level 3 fair value inputs, until the Lender warrants are exercised or expire. Changes in the estimated fair value of the Lender warrant liability are recognized in our Consolidated Statement of Operations as a non-cash expense or benefit. As of July 31, 2025 and 2024, the Lender warrant liability was remeasured to $3,007,000 and $4,544,000, respectively, resulting in a non-cash benefit of $1,537,000 and a non-cash expense of $1,533,000 for the years ended July 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, recorded in "Other expenses (income) - Change in fair value of warrants and derivatives" on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Additionally, we identified several embedded derivatives that require bifurcation from the Credit Facility under ASC 815-15 - "Embedded Derivatives," ("ASC 815"). Certain of these embedded features include contingent event of default and going concern interest rate increases and/or fees, which qualify for accounting as one combined embedded derivative liability. We established an initial embedded derivative liability of $3,116,000, which was allocated as a discount against the Term Loan proceeds. The combined embedded derivative liability is presented with the host instrument as part of the amount outstanding under the Credit Facility on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and is remeasured to its estimated fair value each reporting period, using Level 3 fair value inputs, until the embedded derivative features have zero probability of occurring or expire. Changes in the estimated fair value of the combined embedded derivative liability are recognized in our Consolidated Statement of Operations as a non-cash expense or benefit. As of July 31, 2025 and 2024, the combined embedded derivative liability was remeasured to $1,890,000 and $3,041,000, respectively, resulting in non-cash benefits of $1,151,000 and $75,000, for the years ended July 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, recorded in "Other expenses (income) - Change in fair value of warrants and derivatives" on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Deferred financing fees and discounts attributable to the Term Loan are amortized as interest expense over the life of the debt through the maturity date using the effective interest method and are presented as a deduction to the non-current borrowings outstanding under the Term Loan. Deferred financing fees attributable to the Revolving Loan are capitalized on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and amortized as interest expense over the life of the debt using the straight-line method.

The amount outstanding under our Credit Facility was as follows:

During the fiscal year ended July 31, 2025, we reclassified the combined embedded derivative liability balance as of July 31, 2024 from "Other liabilities" on the Consolidated Balance Sheets to conform to the current period presentation. During the fiscal year ended July 31, 2025, we had outstanding balances under our Credit Facility ranging from $133,901,000 to $202,940,000.

Availability under the Revolving Loan is subject to eligibility criteria set forth in the Credit Facility, and equal to a borrowing base in an amount equal to, from time to time: (a) 85% of the net book value of billed and invoiced accounts receivables; plus (b) 85% of the net book value of accounts receivables we have the right to bill but have not yet billed up to the lesser of (i) 12.5% of the amount calculated pursuant to the sum of clauses (a) and (b) and (ii) $15,000,000 of such accounts; plus (c) 60% of the net book value of all inventory, less (d) customary reserves. As of July 31, 2025 and July 31, 2024, our eligible Borrowing Base collateral, as defined under the Revolving Loan, was $101,222,000 and $114,661,000, respectively.

Interest expense related to our Credit Facility (both current and prior), including amortization of deferred financing costs and debt discount, recorded during the fiscal years ended July 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 was $34,713,000, $22,058,000 and $14,931,000, respectively. Our blended interest rate approximated 18.51%, 12.26% and 8.89% for fiscal 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Interest expense related to our Credit Facility also includes an unused line fee of 0.50% per annum on the average unused Revolver Loan commitment, with no fee payable on the $27,500,000 of the $54,750,000 commitment that is subject to the consent right of the revolving lender and Agent.

The Term Loan is subject to 2.50% amortization per annum. The first Term Loan repayment of $675,000 was paid on July 31, 2024. The next Term Loan repayment of $1,012,500 was paid on July 31, 2025, reflecting the deferral of $3,037,500 provided by the Third Amendment. Future quarterly Term Loan repayments of $1,012,500 are payable on the last business day of each fiscal quarter, with the remaining Term Loan balance due on the maturity date.

The Credit Facility contains: (a) customary representations, warranties and affirmative covenants; (b) customary conditions to drawing the Revolver Loan; (c) customary negative covenants, subject to negotiated exceptions, including but not limited to: (i) liens, (ii) investments, (iii) indebtedness, (iv) significant corporate changes, including mergers and acquisitions, (v) dispositions, including the disposition of assets by any Loan Party to any Subsidiary that is not a Loan Party, (vi) restricted payments, including stockholder dividends, (vii) distributions, including the repayment of subordinated intercompany and third party indebtedness, and (viii) certain other restrictive agreements; (d) certain financial covenants (see above); (e) customary optional and mandatory prepayment events; and (f) customary events of default (subject to grace periods, as appropriate), such as payment defaults, cross-defaults to other material indebtedness, bankruptcy and insolvency, the occurrence of a defined change in control and the failure to observe the negative covenants and other covenants related to the operation of our business. In addition, under certain circumstances, we may be required to enter into amendments to the Credit Facility in connection with any further syndication of the Credit Facility.

Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings set forth for such terms in the Credit Facility, which has been documented and filed with the SEC.

Subsequent Event

In connection with our filing of Form 12b-25 with the SEC on October 30, 2025, we entered into an agreement, effective October 29, 2025, with our Credit Facility lenders to allow for an extension of time to deliver certain items that were originally due on October 29, 2025 and October 31, 2025.
Subordinated Credit Facility
On October 17, 2024, we entered into a subordinated credit facility with the existing holders of our convertible preferred stock and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as agent, which provided an initial subordinated unsecured term loan facility in the aggregate principal amount of $25,000,000 (the “Subordinated Credit Agreement”). As further discussed below, on March 3, 2025 and July 21, 2025, we entered into amendments to the Subordinated Credit Agreement (the "Subordinated Credit Facility”).

On March 3, 2025, we entered into an amendment ("Amendment No. 1") which, in addition to providing incremental aggregate principal of $40,000,000, waived all defaults under the Subordinated Credit Facility, specifically in connection with our Net Leverage Ratio and Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio covenants as of January 31, 2025 and suspended testing of the Net Leverage Ratio and the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio covenants under the Subordinated Credit Facility until October 31, 2025. The net proceeds were principally used to repay a portion of the Term Loan and Revolver Loan on March 3, 2025, fund our general working capital needs and enabled us to negotiate the Second Amendment to the Credit Facility, including the waiver of existing defaults.

On July 21, 2025, we entered into a second amendment (“Amendment No. 2”) which, among other things: (i) provided for the incurrence of a $35,000,000 incremental facility (as described in further detail below); (ii) suspends, until the four-quarter period ending January 31, 2027, testing of the Net Leverage Ratio, the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio and the Minimum EBITDA covenants in the Subordinated Credit Facility; (iii) modified the interest rate applicable to the subordinated term loans (as described in further detail below); (iv) reduced the minimum EBITDA requirement (as described in further detail below); (v) reduced the minimum quarterly average liquidity requirement from $17,500,000 to $15,000,000; (vi) permits us to engage in the Specified Permitted Individual Disposition, on the terms, and subject to documentation, reasonably acceptable to the Subordinated Agent (subject to the same requirement with respect to the application of any net cash proceeds as discussed in Note (8) - Credit Facility; and (vii) required us to adopt management incentive and retention arrangements for its key personnel in connection with the contemplation of our strategic alternatives (also as discussed Note (8) - Credit Facility).

Amendment No. 2 provides for an incremental priority subordinated unsecured term loan facility in the aggregate principal amount of $35,000,000. We used the net proceeds to pay certain transaction costs, fees and expenses incurred in connection with amendments to our credit facilities and to prepay, without premium: (i) $28,481,000 of the outstanding Term Loans under the Credit Facility, and (ii) $5,775,000 of the outstanding Revolver Loan under the Credit Facility. As part of this prepayment, we permanently reduced Revolver Loan commitments under the Credit Facility by $2,071,000. The interest on the $35,000,000 shall be paid-in-kind quarterly, in arrears, by capitalizing and adding the unpaid and accrued amount of such interest to the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the incremental priority subordinated credit facility on the last business day of each quarter. This tranche of subordinated debt will rank senior in right of payment to the existing subordinated term loans under the Subordinated Credit Facility. Unlike the existing subordinated term loans, the incremental priority subordinated credit facility is not subject to any make-whole premium.

Under Amendment No. 2, the interest rate applicable to the incremental priority subordinated credit facility shall be the greater of: (x) the highest per annum interest rate then-applicable to the Term Loans under the Credit Facility, and (y) Term SOFR (as defined in the Credit Facility) plus 10.5%.

Under Amendment No. 2, once financial covenant testing resumes on January 31, 2027, in addition to complying with the minimum quarterly average liquidity requirement, we will be required to comply with: (i) a maximum Net Leverage Ratio of 3.30x as of January 31, 2027, 3.30x as of April 30, 2027 and 3.18x as of July 31, 2027 and thereafter; (ii) a minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of 1.04x commencing with the four fiscal quarter period ending January 31, 2027 and 1.08x commencing with the four fiscal quarter period ending July 31, 2027 and thereafter; and (iii) minimum EBITDA of: (a) $26,000,000 for the four-quarter period ending January 31, 2027; (b) $28,000,000 for the four-quarter period ending April 30, 2027; (c) $30,000,000 for the four-quarter period ending July 31, 2027; and $32,000,000 for the four-quarter period ending October 31, 2027 and thereafter.
At the time of entering into Amendment No. 2, and through and including the issuance date, there were no ongoing events of default. Over the next twelve months beyond the issuance date, we believe that it is probable we will be able to comply with the covenants required by the Subordinated Credit Facility. As a result, we have presented our debt obligations as long-term on the Consolidated Balance Sheet, based on their scheduled maturity dates.

The outstanding portion of debt related to the Subordinated Credit Facility will not be considered debt for purposes of our financial covenant testing under the Credit Facility. However, the Subordinated Credit Facility includes a cross-default provision, whereby a default under the Credit Facility constitutes a default under the Subordinated Credit Facility.

Additional Subordinated Credit Facility Details

The obligations under the Subordinated Credit Facility mature 90 days after the Credit Facility. Unlike the $35,000,000 tranche discussed above, the other two tranches of the Subordinated Credit Facility, which aggregate $65,000,000 of principal, are subject to Make-Whole Amounts with respect to certain repayments or prepayments equal to: (i) from the respective closing date of each tranche through (but not including) the date that is nine months thereafter, the principal repayment amount multiplied by 33.0%; (ii) from the date that is nine months after the applicable closing date through (but not including) the date that is the second anniversary of such closing date, the principal repayment amount multiplied by 50.0%; (iii) from the second anniversary of the applicable closing date and thereafter, the principal repayment amount multiplied by 75.0% plus, in the case of clause (iii), interest accrued on the principal amount outstanding at the Make-Whole Interest Rate (as defined below) starting on the second anniversary of the applicable closing date and calculated as of any such date of determination. The Make-Whole Interest Rate is a rate equal to 16.0% per annum, which is increased by 2.0% per annum upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an event of default under the Subordinated Credit Facility.

We identified an embedded derivative related to redemption features that requires bifurcation from the Subordinated Credit Facility under ASC 815. We established a total embedded derivative liability of $16,864,000, which was allocated as a discount against the Subordinated Credit Facility proceeds. The embedded derivative liability is presented with the "Non-current portion of subordinated credit facility, net" on the Consolidated Balance Sheet and is remeasured to its estimated fair value each reporting period, using Level 3 fair value inputs. Changes in the estimated fair value of the embedded derivative liability are recognized in our Consolidated Statements of Operations as a non-cash expense or benefit. As of July 31, 2025, the embedded derivative liability was remeasured to $5,753,000. For the fiscal year ended July 31, 2025, we recorded a non-cash benefit of $11,111,000, in "Other expenses (income) - Change in fair value of warrants and derivatives" on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Deferred financing costs, discounts and the Make-Whole Amount are amortized as interest expense through the Subordinated Credit Facility maturity date using the effective interest method, and are presented as adjustments to the borrowings outstanding under such debt. Interest expense related to our Subordinated Credit Facility for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2025 was $10,876,000, which included $2,416,000 of immediately expensed financing fees related to Amendment No. 1 and Amendment No. 2 due to accounting for such amendments as debt modifications.

The obligations under the Subordinated Credit Facility are guaranteed by the same guarantors under the Credit Facility and contain customary representations, warranties and affirmative covenants, in each case substantially consistent with the representations and warranties and affirmative covenants under the Credit Facility. The Subordinated Credit Facility contains customary negative covenants, subject to negotiated exceptions, including but not limited to: (i) liens, (ii) investments, (iii) indebtedness, (iv) significant corporate changes, including mergers and acquisitions, (v) dispositions, (vi) restricted payments, including stockholder dividends, (vii) customary optional and mandatory prepayment events, and (viii) certain other restrictive agreements.

Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings set forth for such terms in the Subordinated Credit Facility, which has been documented and filed with the SEC.

Subsequent Event
In connection with our filing of Form 12b-25 with the SEC on October 30, 2025, we entered into an agreement, effective October 29, 2025, with our Subordinated Credit Facility lenders to allow for an extension of time to deliver certain items that were originally due on October 29, 2025 and October 31, 2025.
