On March 1, 2022, immediately after CH Capital Lending became the lender and administrative agent under the Term Loan Agreement, the Issuer entered into Amendment Number 6 to Term Loan Agreement (“Amendment Number 6 to Term Loan Agreement”) by and among the Issuer, Newco, and certain of Newco’s subsidiaries, as borrowers, and CH Capital Lending, as administrative agent and lender. Under Amendment Number 6 to Term Loan Agreement, the maturity date of the Term Loan was extended to March 31, 2024. Also under Amendment Number 6 to Term Loan Agreement, the Term Loan was made convertible into shares of Common Stock at a conversion price of $1.50, subject to adjustment.
