Id Content
F1 All or any portion of the Common Stock Purchase Warrants (the "Warrants") may be exercised before 5:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on March 12, 2026.
F2 Magnetar Financial LLC ("Magnetar Financial") serves as (i) the investment manager to Magnetar Longhorn Fund LP, a Delaware limited partnership, Purpose Alternative Credit Fund - F LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and Purpose Alternative Credit Fund - T LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, (ii) general partner of Magnetar Structured Credit Fund, LP, a Delaware limited partnership, and (iii) manager of Magnetar Lake Credit Fund LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (together with all of the vehicles in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), the "Magnetar Vehicles"), each of which holds a portion of the indicated derivative securities. In such capacities, Magnetar Financial exercises voting and investment power over the Warrants and the 7.00% Senior Subordinated Convertible Notes Due 2031 (the "Notes") held by the Magnetar Vehicles.
F3 Magnetar Capital Partners LP ("Magnetar Capital Partners"), a Delaware limited partnership, is the sole member and parent holding company of Magnetar Financial. Supernova Management LLC ("Supernova Management"), a Delaware limited liability company, is the general partner of Magnetar Capital Partners. The manager of Supernova Management is Alec N. Litowitz, a citizen of the United States of America.
F4 Each of the Magnetar Vehicles, Magnetar Financial, Magnetar Capital Partners, Supernova Management and Alec N. Litowitz disclaims beneficial ownership of these shares of the Issuer's Common Stock, except to the extent of its pecuniary interest in the Warrants, the Notes and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such Warrants and/or upon conversion of such Notes.
F5 On August 13, 2021, the Magnetar Vehicles purchased $2,170,575 aggregate principal amount of the Notes pursuant to a "backstop right" contained in their Registration Rights Agreement dated as of March 12, 2021 with the Issuer. The Notes will mature on December 31, 2031, at which time they may be settled, at the Issuer's election, in cash or shares of the Issuer's Common Stock, as set forth in the Notes. They are convertible, in whole or in part, at the noteholder's election, at any time into shares of the Issuer's Common Stock at a conversion price of $6.25 per share of Common Stock (four shares of Common Stock for each $25.00 of principal amount of Notes being converted).
F6 But, if at any time after September 21, 2023 holders of the Issuer's 8.75% Series D Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series D Preferred Stock") have required the Issuer to redeem (payable in cash or stock) in the aggregate at least 100,000 shares of Series D Preferred Stock, then the conversion price will be adjusted to the lower of (i) a 45% discount to the conversion price or (ii) a 45% discount to the lowest price at which any holder of Series D Preferred Stock converted into shares of the Issuer's Common Stock.
F7 Interest on the Notes may be payable, at the Issuer's election, in cash, in shares of the Issuer's 9% Series B Preferred Stock (the "Series B Preferred Stock") or in shares of Series D Preferred Stock, in each case as set forth in the Notes. The Series B Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock are both convertible into shares of the Issuer's Common Stock at the option of the holder thereof at any time. The Notes bear interest at the rate of 7% per annum. The number of shares indicated in the Table is based on the aggregate principal amount of the Notes held by all Magnetar Vehicles as of August 13, 2021, and assumes that the Issuer will later pay all interest thereon in cash.
