Special Meeting Set for September 24
Stockholders of record as of August 10, 2026 will vote on the Stock Issuance Proposal to allow conversion of $112.6M in 5.00% Senior Convertible Notes due 2033.
-
Potential 32% Dilution for Existing Holders
At the maximum conversion rate, noteholders would receive 25,458,575 shares, raising their combined ownership to 32.2% and reducing existing holders from 85.9% to 67.8%.
-
Interest Rate Step-Up if Rejected
If not approved by the Special Meeting, the note interest rate rises from 5% to 10% per year; if not approved by January 8, 2027, it rises to 12% per year.
-
Cash Settlement Risk Without Approval
Without stockholder approval, conversions must be settled in cash at a VWAP-derived price, which could strain liquidity given the company's recent cash burn.
