The Interim Supply Agreement sets forth certain trade terms governing payment for goods and services for the period after the Company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy (the “Chapter 11 Cases”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court of the District of New Jersey (the “Court”). On October 26, 2023, the terms set forth in the Interim Supply Agreement were approved by the Court on an interim basis.

There is a hearing scheduled for November 9, 2023, whereby the Court will consider approval of the terms set forth in the Interim Supply Agreement on a final basis.
