Simultaneously, the company will satisfy its $109M Senior Secured Term Loan by issuing 27.5M shares of Series 1 Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock and 27.5M Lender Warrants (both at $0.78 exercise price) to debt holders, subject to shareholder approval.

Why this rating
Debt elimination ($109M, 6.8× company market cap) is transformational for a $16M-cap firm. Massive dilution risk, but removes existential solvency threat and provides immediate liquidity. Highly material event.
