As of September 27, 2023, 16,680,334 shares of Common Stock are issuable upon conversion of the indebtedness outstanding under the 2019 LSA in respect of an outstanding principal amount of $50.0 million and 6,146,040 shares of Common Stock are issuable upon conversion of accrued and unpaid interest as well as penalties of $18.4 million, reflecting a fixed conversion price of $3.00 per share of Common Stock.
