Election for January 15, 2023 Amortization Payment under May 2022 PIPE
As previously disclosed, on May 15, 2022, the Company entered into a note and warrant purchase agreement (the “May 2022 Purchase Agreement”) by and among the Company
and the purchasers thereto (collectively, the “PIPE Purchasers”), pursuant to which the Company issued and sold to the Purchasers, and the Purchasers purchased from the Company, (i) $33,750,000 aggregate principal amount of 10.00% unsecured
convertible promissory notes (the “May 2022 Notes”) and (ii) warrants (the “May 2022 Warrants”). On August 16, 2022, the Company entered into an agreement with the PIPE Purchasers, whereby the terms of the May 2022 Notes were amended (the
“Amended May 2022 Notes”) and an aggregate of $11.25 million of the outstanding principal under the May 2022 Notes was exchanged for an amended and restated warrant agreement pursuant to which the strike price of the aggregate 6,318,000 May 2022
Warrants was reduced from $2.50 to $0.01 per share. After giving effect to the principal reduction under the Amended May 2022 Notes, the Company became required to make subsequent payments to the Purchasers on the fifteenth (15th) day of each of
November 2022, December 2022, January 2023 and February 2023. The Company may generally elect to make each such payment (A) in cash or (B) in shares of its Class A common stock, at a 20.0% discount to the average of the daily VWAP for the twenty
(20) consecutive trading days preceding each such the payment date. Subject to limitations with respect to any PIPE Purchaser beneficially owning in excess of 9.99% of the then-outstanding shares of common stock as a result of such payment and
further subject to limitations under the transaction documents and Nasdaq’s rules limiting the aggregate issuance of shares of the Company’s common stock or securities convertible into common stock pursuant to the Amended May 2022 Notes and
Amended May 2022 Warrants to 20% of the number of shares its Class A common stock and Class V common stock that were issued and outstanding on August 16, 2022 (the “Nasdaq Cap”), the Company currently intends to make the December 15 and January
15 payments, subject to agreement by the PIPE Purchasers, by issuing pre-funded warrants or other equity securities that will have restrictions on exercisability until the Company obtains the necessary approval of its stockholders, in compliance
with Nasdaq requirements, to issue shares of its common stock in excess of the Nasdaq Cap.
