  The maturity date for a $6.22 million secured promissory note and the initiation of monthly payments for one $12 million royalty interest were both extended from July 1, 2026, to October 1, 2026.

This filing presents a mixed financial picture for Jaguar Health. While the company secured short-term deferrals on a significant promissory note and one royalty payment, it simultaneously committed to very high minimum monthly royalty payments totaling $1.5 million starting in October 2026. For a company with a market capitalization of approximately $1.36 million, these fixed obligations represent an immense financial burden that could severely strain future cash flow. Additionally, the conversion of preferred stock into 110,249 common shares results in substantial dilution for existing shareholders, further impacting per-share value. These actions reflect ongoing efforts to manage a complex debt structure, but the terms highlight significant financial challenges ahead.
