NOTES
TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
(For
the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 and 2024)
1.
Organization
Nature
of Business
Celcuity
Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), is a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on the development of
targeted therapies for the treatment of multiple solid tumor indications. The Company’s lead therapeutic candidate is
gedatolisib, a kinase inhibitor of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (“PI3K”), serine/threonine-protein kinase protein
kinase B (“AKT”), mechanistic target of rapamycin (“mTOR”) pathway that binds to all Class I PI3K isoforms
and the mTOR complexes, mTORC1 and mTORC2. By targeting all Class I PI3K isoforms and mTORC1/2, gedatolisib induces comprehensive
inhibition of the PI3K/AKT/mTOR (“PAM”) pathway. Gedatolisib’s mechanism of action and pharmacokinetic properties
are differentiated from other currently approved and investigational therapies that target PI3K or mTOR alone or together. A Phase 3
clinical trial, VIKTORIA-1, evaluating gedatolisib in combination with fulvestrant with or without palbociclib in patients with
hormone receptor-positive (HR+), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HER2-) (“HR+/HER2-”) advanced breast
cancer has completed enrollment of and reported topline data for cohort 1, patients with PIK3CA wild-type (“WT”)
tumors, and is continuing to enroll cohort 2, patients with PIK3CA mutant-type (“MT”) tumors. Our Phase 3
clinical trial, VIKTORIA-2, evaluating gedatolisib in combination with a cyclin-dependent kinase (“CDK”) 4/6 inhibitor
and fulvestrant as first-line treatment for patients with endocrine treatment resistant HR+/HER2- advanced breast cancer is
currently enrolling patients. The first patient was dosed in July of 2025. A Phase 1b/2 clinical trial, CELC-G-201, evaluating
gedatolisib in combination with darolutamide in patients with metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer, is ongoing. The
Company was co-founded in 2012 by Brian F. Sullivan and Dr. Lance G. Laing and is based in Minnesota. The Company has not generated
any revenue to date.

Basis of Presentation, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Basis
of Presentation
The
accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements include the accounts of the Company and have been prepared in accordance with Article
10 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, as permitted by Article
10, the unaudited condensed financial statements do not include all of the information required by accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). The balance sheet at December 31, 2024 was derived from the audited financial statements
at that date and does not include all the disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. In the opinion of management, all adjustments which are
of a normal recurring nature and necessary for a fair presentation have been reflected in the financial statements. These unaudited condensed
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024
and the related footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. Operating
results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected during the remainder
of the current year or for any other future period.
Accounting
Estimates
Management
uses estimates and assumptions in preparing these unaudited condensed financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Those estimates
and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported
revenue and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates and the difference could be material. Significant items subject
to such estimates and assumptions include the valuation of stock-based compensation and prepaid or accrued clinical trial costs.
Risks
and Uncertainties
The
Company is subject to risks common to companies in the development stage including, but not limited to, the clinical and commercial success
of its initial drug product, gedatolisib, the regulatory approval of gedatolisib, the need for substantial additional financing to achieve
its goals, uncertainty of broad adoption of its approved products, if any, by physicians and consumers, and significant competition.

CELCUITY
INC.
NOTES
TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
(For
the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 and 2024)
Clinical
Trial Costs
The
Company relies on third parties to conduct certain aspects of clinical studies and to formulate and manufacture our drug product. While
there are alternative vendors that can perform these functions, any disruption or delay by the Company’s current third parties
in carrying out their contractual duties could delay the clinical trials. The Company records prepaid assets or accrued expenses for
prepaid or estimated clinical trial costs conducted by third-party service providers, which includes the conduct of preclinical studies
and clinical trials. These costs can be a significant component of the Company’s research and development expenses. The Company
primarily relies on a compilation of progress reports from third-party service providers, including the respective invoicing, to record
actual expenses, along with determining changes to prepaid assets and accrued liabilities. To date, the Company believes utilization
of third-party reports most accurately reflects expenses incurred. With the ongoing VIKTORIA-1 and VIKTORIA-2 Phase 3 clinical trials,
and the CELC-G-201 Phase 1b/2 clinical trial, the Company’s estimated expenses in future periods and actual services performed
may vary from these estimates, and these estimates may become more significant. Changes in these estimates that result in material changes
to the Company’s prepaid assets or accrued expenses could materially affect the Company’s results of operations and financial
position.
3.
Net Loss Per Common Share
Basic
and diluted net loss per common share is determined by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average
common shares outstanding during the period. For all periods presented, the common shares underlying the preferred stock, options, warrants,
and restricted stock have been excluded from the calculation because their effect would be anti-dilutive. Therefore, the weighted-average
shares outstanding used to calculate both basic and diluted loss per common share are the same.
The
following potential common shares were not considered in the computation of diluted net loss per share as their effect would have been
anti-dilutive for the three and six-month periods presented below:

Pre-funded
warrant shares of 5,747,787 are included in the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share for each of the three and six months
ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, as the pre-funded warrants are exercisable for nominal consideration.
4.
Investments
Debt
securities for which the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as held-to-maturity and reported
at historical cost adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Expected credit losses, if any, are recorded through
the establishment of an allowance for credit losses. All of the Company’s held-to-maturity
investment securities are U.S. Treasury and agencies securities that are guaranteed or otherwise
supported by the United States government and have no history of credit losses. Accordingly, the Company does not expect to incur any
credit losses on held-to-maturity investment securities and has no allowance
for credit losses recorded for these securities.

5.
Commitments
Operating
and Finance Leases
The
Company leases its corporate space in Minneapolis, Minnesota, with an operating lease in place through April 30, 2026. The lease provides
for monthly rent, real estate taxes, and operating expenses. Rent expense is recorded on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Clinical
Research Studies
The
Company enters into contracts in the normal course of business to conduct research and development programs internally and through third
parties that include, among others, arrangements with vendors, consultants, contract manufacturing organizations, and contract research
organizations. The Company has a license agreement in place with Pfizer Inc. (“Pfizer”) to research, develop, manufacture
and commercialize gedatolisib. In conjunction with the license agreement, the Company completed a Phase 1b clinical trial, B2151009,
related to gedatolisib. These patients subsequently transitioned to an Expanded Access study, CELC-G-001. Contracts related to
the Expanded Access study are generally based on time and material. In addition, contracts related to the Company’s Phase 3 clinical
studies (VIKTORIA-1 and VIKTORIA-2) and the Phase 1b/2 clinical trial (CELC-G-201) are generally cancelable with reasonable notice within
120 days and the Company’s obligations under these contracts are primarily based on services performed through termination dates
plus certain cancelation charges, if any, as defined in each of the respective agreements. In addition, these agreements may, from time
to time, be subject to amendments as a result of any change orders executed by the parties. As of June 30, 2025, the Company had three
material non-cancelable contractual commitments with respect to these arrangements, which totaled approximately $ 3.6 million.

modified previously granted stock option awards to certain employees. The total incremental compensation expense recognized as a
result of the modifications was $ 70
and $ 42
for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $ 211
and $ 86
for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The effect of these modifications on stock-based compensation over
the remaining service periods will be $ 346 .
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, options in the amount of 2,561
and 3,061
shares were exercised, respectively, with an intrinsic value of $ 16

The
Black-Scholes option-pricing model was used to estimate the fair value of equity-based awards with the following weighted-average assumptions
for the six months ended June 30:

The
inputs for the Black-Scholes valuation model require management’s significant assumptions. Prior to the Company’s initial
public offering, the price per share of common stock was determined by the Company’s board based on recent prices of common stock
sold in private offerings. Subsequent to the initial public offering, the price per share of common stock is determined by using the
closing market price on the Nasdaq Capital Market on the grant date. The risk-free interest rates are based on the rate for U.S. Treasury
securities at the date of grant with maturity dates approximately equal to the expected life at the grant date. The expected life is
based on the simplified method for the time-based awards in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Nos. 107 and 110. The expected
volatility is estimated based on historical volatility information of peer companies that are publicly available in combination with
the Company’s calculated volatility since being publicly traded.
All
assumptions used to calculate the grant date fair value of non-employee options are generally consistent with the assumptions used for
options granted to employees. In the event the Company terminates any of its consulting agreements, the unvested options issued in connection
with the agreements would also be cancelled.
Restricted
Stock Awards
Restricted
stock awards (“RSAs”) granted to members of the Company’s board during the three and six months ended June 30,
2025 and 2024 were 1,029

Debt
On
May 30, 2024, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the “A&R Loan Agreement”)
with Innovatus Life Sciences Lending Fund I, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“Innovatus”), as collateral agent, and the
Lenders including Innovatus in its capacity as a Lender and Oxford Finance LLC (“Oxford”), pursuant to which Innovatus and
Oxford, as Lenders, have agreed to make certain term loans (“Term Loans”) to the Company in the aggregate principal amount
of up to $ 180 million. The A&R Loan Agreement amends and restates, in its entirety, that certain Loan and Security Agreement, dated
April 8, 2021, as amended, between the Company and Innovatus, as collateral agent, and the Lenders named therein (the “Prior Loan
Agreement”).
Funding
of the first $ 100
million under the A&R Loan Agreement occurred on May 30, 2024, including tranche payments of $ 16.8
million (the “Term A Loan”) and $ 21.5
million (the “Term B Loan”) reflecting repayment of the principal amount of loans under the Prior Loan Agreement plus
accrued payment-in-kind interest, in addition to $ 61.7
million of new borrowings (the “Term C Loan”). The Company became eligible to draw on a fourth tranche of $ 30
million (the “Term D Loan”) as of July 28, 2025 and will become eligible to draw on a fifth tranche of $ 50
million (the “Term E Loan”) upon achievement of certain clinical trial milestones and satisfaction of
certain financial covenants. The Lenders may, in their sole discretion upon the
Company’s request, make additional term loans to the Company of $ 45
million (the “Term F Loan”). Funding of these additional tranches is also subject to other customary conditions and
limits on when the Company can request funding for such tranches. Costs associated with the new borrowings were approximately $ 2.4
million.
Pursuant
to the A&R Loan Agreement, the
Company is entitled to make interest-only payments for thirty-six months, or up to forty-eight months if certain conditions are met.
The Term Loans will mature on May 1, 2029 and will bear interest at a rate equal to the sum of (a) the greater of (i) the Prime Rate
(as defined in the A&R Loan Agreement) or (ii) 7.75%, plus (b) 2.85%, provided that 1.0% of such interest will be payable
in-kind by adding an amount equal to such 1.0% of the outstanding principal amount to the then outstanding principal balance on a
monthly basis through May 31, 2027. The A&R Loan Agreement is secured by all assets of the Company. Proceeds will be used
for working capital purposes and to fund the Company’s general business requirements, including the ongoing Phase 3 VIKTORIA-1
clinical trial, the Phase 1b/2 CELC-G-201 clinical trial, and the Phase 3 VIKTORIA-2 clinical trial. The A&R Loan Agreement
contains customary representations and warranties and covenants, subject to customary carve-outs, and includes financial covenants
related to liquidity and other financial measures. Innovatus has the right, at its election and until August 9, 2025, to
convert up to 20 %
of the outstanding principal of the Term A Loan into shares of the Company’s common stock at a price per share of $ 10.00 .
Innovatus will continue to have the right to exercise a previously disclosed warrant granted to it under the Prior Loan Agreement to
purchase 26,042
shares of common stock at a price per share of $ 14.40
through April 8, 2031.

(For
the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 and 2024)
The
A&R Loan Agreement contains a Final Fee, which is equal to 4.5 % of the initial funding of the agreement and is due on the earliest
to occur of (a) the Maturity Date, (b) the acceleration of any Term Loan, and (c) the prepayment of the Term Loans. There is also a contingent
non-utilization fee for both the Term D and Term E Loans. Because the Company achieved the Term D Milestone on July 28, 2025, if the Company (i) fails to draw the full
amount of the Term D Loan during the Term D Draw Period and (ii) fails to notify Collateral Agent, at any time before the date that is
four weeks after the Company’s achievement of the Term D Milestone, of the Company’s intent not to draw the full amount of
the Term D Loan, a non-utilization fee of $ 0.9 million with respect to the Term D Loan shall become due and payable on the earliest
of (i) the termination of the Term D Draw Period, (ii) the Maturity Date, (iii) the acceleration of any Term Loan, and (iv) the prepayment
in whole of the Term Loans. If the Company achieves the Term E Milestone and (i) fails to draw the full amount of the Term E Loan during
the Term E Draw Period and (ii) fails to notify Collateral Agent, at any time before the date that is four weeks after the Company’s
achievement of the Term E Milestone, of the Company’s intent not to draw the full amount of the Term E Loan, a non-utilization
fee of $ 1.5 million with respect to the Term E Loan shall become due and payable on the earliest of (i) the termination of the Term
E Draw Period, (ii) the Maturity Date, (iii) the acceleration of any Term Loan, and (iv) the prepayment in whole of the Term Loans. After
the 18-month anniversary of the Effective Date, the Company shall have the option to prepay all, but not less than all, of the Term Loans
advanced by the Lenders under the A&R Loan Agreement, provided the Company (i) provides written notice to Collateral Agent of its
election to prepay the Term Loans at least seven business days prior to such prepayment, and (ii) pays to Lenders on the date of such
prepayment, payable to each Lender in accordance with its respective Pro Rata Share, an amount equal to the sum of (A) all outstanding
principal of the Term Loans plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon through the prepayment date, (B) the Final Fee, (C) the Prepayment
Fee, plus (D) all other outstanding Obligations that are due and payable, including, without limitation, Lenders’ Expenses and
interest at the Default Rate with respect to any past due amounts. At May 30, 2024, the Company recognized the Final Fee of $ 4.5 million
as additional debt principal and a corresponding debt discount to be amortized over the life of the loan.
In
connection with the funding of each of the Term C Loan, the Term D Loan, the Term E Loan and the Term F Loan, the Company agreed to issue
to Innovatus and Oxford warrants to purchase that number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to 2.5 % of the principal
amount of the applicable Term Loan divided by the exercise price, which shall, with respect to the Term C Loan, be equal to the lower
of (i) the volume weighted average closing price of the Company’s common stock for the five-trading day period ending on the last
trading day immediately preceding the execution of the A&R Loan Agreement or (ii) the closing price on the last trading day immediately
preceding the execution of the A&R Loan Agreement. Accordingly, on May 30, 2024, the Company issued 103,876 warrants with an exercise
price of $ 14.84 per share. The relative fair value of the warrants was approximately $ 1.2 million. For the additional Term Loans, the
exercise price will be based on the lower of (i) the exercise price for the Warrants issued pursuant to the Term C Loan or (ii) the volume
weighted average closing price of the Company’s common stock for the five-trading day period ending on the last trading day immediately
preceding the applicable Term Loan funding. The Warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis and are exercisable through the tenth anniversary
of the applicable funding date. The number of shares of common stock for which each Warrant is exercisable and the associated exercise
price are subject to certain proportional adjustments as set forth in such Warrant.
On
May 13, 2025, the Company entered into the First Amendment (the “First Amendment”) to the A&R Loan Agreement, pursuant
to which the Company agreed to (i) pay Oxford an amendment fee of $40,000 on the effective date of the First Amendment, (ii) extend to
March 9, 2026 the expiration date of Innovatus’ right to convert up to 20% of the outstanding principal of the Term A Loan into
shares of the Company’s common stock at a price per share of $10.00, (iii) extend the expiration date of the Term D Draw Period
to the earlier of (x) August 31, 2025 and (y) the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the A&R Loan Agreement), (iv)
update the liquidity covenant to increase the Minimum Liquidity Percentage (as defined in the First Amendment) to 50% if the Company
fails to achieve the Term D Milestone prior to June 1, 2025 and to decrease the Minimum Liquidity Percentage back to 30% if the Company
subsequently achieves the Term D Milestone prior to the end of the Term D Draw Period, and (v) release Innovatus and the Lenders from
any and all claims arising out of or related to the A&R Loan Agreement, the First Amendment and related documentation.
The
Company evaluated the change of terms under ASC 470-50, “Debt – Modification and Extinguishment”, and concluded the
change in terms did not result in significant and consequential changes to the economic substance of the debt and thus resulted in a
modification of the debt and not an extinguishment of the debt.

License Agreement
On
April 8, 2021, the Company entered into a license agreement with Pfizer to research, develop, manufacture and commercialize gedatolisib,
a potent, investigational, multi-target PAM inhibitor that potently targets all four Class I PI3K isoforms, mTORC1, and mTORC2
to induce comprehensive blockade of the PAM pathway.
The Company paid Pfizer $ 5.0 million in upfront fees and issued to Pfizer $ 5.0 million of shares of the Company’s common stock
pursuant to an Equity Grant Agreement.
The
Company is also required to make milestone payments to Pfizer upon achievement of certain development and commercial milestone events,
up to an aggregate of $ 335.0 million. One of these milestone events requires a $ 5.0 million payment within 60 days following the
U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) regulatory filing of a New Drug Application (“NDA”) for gedatolisib. The Company has determined the NDA filing with the
FDA is now probable and has recorded this as a research and development expense during the three and six months ended June 30,
2025. Additionally, the Company will pay Pfizer tiered royalties on sales of gedatolisib at percentages ranging from the low to mid-teens,
which may be subject to deductions for expiration of valid patent claims, amounts due under third-party licenses and generic competition.
Unless earlier terminated, the license agreement will expire upon the expiration of all royalty obligations. The royalty period will
expire on a country-by-country basis upon the later of (a) 12 years following the date of first commercial sale of such product in such
country, (b) the expiration of all regulatory or data exclusivity in such country for such product, or (c) the date upon which the manufacture,
use, sale, offer for sale or importation of such product in such country would no longer infringe, but for the license granted in the
license agreement, a valid claim of a licensed patent right.
The
Company has the right to terminate the license agreement for convenience upon 90 days’ prior written notice. Pfizer may not terminate
the agreement for convenience. Either the Company or Pfizer may terminate the license agreement if the other party is in material breach
and such breach is not cured within the specified cure period. In addition, either the Company or Pfizer may terminate the license agreement
in the event of specified insolvency events involving the other party.

Subsequent Events
Second
Amendment to Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement
On
July 28, 2025, the Company entered into the Second Amendment (the “Second Amendment”) to the A&R Loan Agreement,
pursuant to which the A&R Loan Agreement was amended to (i) subject to certain terms and conditions, permit the issuance of the
Notes (as defined below) and certain transactions in connection therewith, including the conversion thereof settled solely in common
stock (together with cash in lieu of the issuance of any fractional share of common stock), (ii) permit capped call transactions in
connection with the pricing of the Notes, (iii) require an amendment fee payable by the Company to Oxford in the amount of $ 25,000 ,
which was paid upon execution of the Second Amendment, and (iv) extend to May
9, 2026 the expiration date of Innovatus’ right to convert up to 20 %
of the outstanding principal of the Term A Loan into shares of the Company’s common stock at a price per share of $ 10.00 .

Further,
in connection with the release of the topline data from the wild-type cohort of the VIKTORIA-1 Phase 3 clinical trial, the Company achieved the Term D Milestone (as defined in the A&R Loan Agreement) and therefore is eligible to draw an additional $ 30.0
million of indebtedness under the Term D Loan (as defined in the A&R Loan Agreement). The Company intends to draw down such $ 30.0 million in
late August 2025 prior to the expiration of the Term D Draw Period (as defined in the A&R Loan Agreement) on August 31, 2025.
July
2025 Equity Offering
On
July 30, 2025, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Equity Underwriting Agreement”) with Jefferies
LLC, TD Securities (USA) LLC, and Leerink Partners LLC as representatives (the “Representatives”) of the several
underwriters named therein (collectively, the “Underwriters”) agreeing, subject to customary conditions, to issue and
sell in a public offering (i) 1,836,842
shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, at a price to the public of $ 38.00
per Share and (b) in lieu of Shares to certain investors, pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 400,000
shares of common stock (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”), at a price to the public of $ 37.999
per Pre-Funded Warrant, which represents the per share public offering price for the Shares less the $ 0.001
per share exercise price for each such Pre-Funded Warrant (the “Equity Offering”). In addition, pursuant to the Equity
Underwriting Agreement, the Company granted the Underwriters an option to purchase up to an additional 335,526
shares of common stock (the “Option Shares”), less underwriting discounts and commissions. The Underwriters exercised
their option to purchase the Option Shares in full on July 30, 2025. The Equity Offering was completed on July 31, 2025.
The
net proceeds from the Equity Offering, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses, were
approximately $ 91.6
million, including the proceeds from the Underwriters’ exercise of their option in full to purchase the Option Shares. The
Company may also receive nominal proceeds, if any, from the exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants.
Each
Pre-Funded Warrant is exercisable for one share of common stock at an exercise price of $ 0.001 per share, or alternatively, at the election
of each holder, shares of common stock may be issued through a cashless exercise, with the net number of shares of common stock determined
according to the formula set forth in each Pre-Funded Warrant. The Pre-Funded Warrants are exercisable at any time after the date of
issuance until all of the Pre-Funded Warrants
are exercised. A holder (together with its “attribution parties,” as defined in the Pre-Funded Warrant) may not exercise
any portion of the Pre-Funded Warrants if immediately after exercise, the holder (together with its attribution parties), would beneficially
own in excess of 4.99% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise. However,
a holder may increase or decrease such percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 19.99%, which increase or decrease shall not
become effective until 61 days after notice from the holder to the Company.
July
2025 Convertible Notes Offering
On
July 30, 2025, the Company also entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Note Underwriting Agreement”) with the
Underwriters, subject to customary conditions, to issue and sell in a public offering $ 175,000,000
aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 2.750 %
Convertible Senior Notes due 2031 (the “Notes”) to the Underwriters (the “Note Offering”). In addition,
pursuant to the Note Underwriting Agreement, the Company granted the Underwriters an option to purchase up to an additional $ 26,250,000
aggregate principal amount of Notes solely to cover over-allotments. On July 30, 2025, the Underwriters exercised such option to
purchase an additional $ 26,250,000
aggregate principal amount of Notes. The issuance of $ 201,250,000
aggregate principal amount of Notes was completed on August 1, 2025. The Notes were issued
pursuant to, and are governed by, an indenture (the “Base Indenture”), dated as of August 1, 2025, between the Company
and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented by a first supplemental
indenture (the “Supplemental Indenture,” and the Base Indenture, as supplemented by the Supplemental Indenture, the
“Indenture”), dated as of August 1, 2025, between the Company and the Trustee. The net proceeds from the Note Offering,
after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses, were approximately $ 194.9
million, including the proceeds from the Underwriters’ exercise of their over-allotment option in full.

The
Notes are general, unsecured, senior obligations of the Company. The Notes will accrue interest payable semi-annually in arrears on February
1 and August 1 of each year, beginning on February 1, 2026, at a rate equal to 2.750 % per year. In addition, special interest will accrue
on the Notes upon the occurrence of certain events relating to the Company’s failure to file certain reports with the SEC as provided
in the Indenture and as described below. The Notes also have customary provisions relating to the occurrence of “Events of Default”
(as defined in the Indenture) with certain interest penalty provisions. The Notes will mature on August 1, 2031 , unless earlier converted,
redeemed or repurchased by the Company.
Noteholders
may convert their Notes at their option at any time prior to the close of business on the scheduled trading day immediately preceding
the maturity date based on an initial conversion rate of 19.4932 shares of common stock, per $ 1,000 principal amount of the Notes, which
is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $ 51.30 per share of common stock. The conversion rate is subject to customary
adjustments upon the occurrence of certain events as described in the Indenture. In addition, if certain corporate events that constitute
a “Make-Whole Fundamental Change” (as defined in the Indenture) occur, then the conversion rate will, in certain circumstances,
be increased for a specified period of time.
The
Notes will be redeemable, in whole or in part (subject to certain limitations described below), at the Company’s option at any
time, and from time to time, on a redemption date on or after August 6, 2029 and on or before the 51st scheduled trading day immediately
before the maturity date, at a cash redemption price equal to the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid
interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date, but only if the last reported sale price per share of the common stock exceeds
130% of the conversion price on (i) each of at least 20 trading days, whether or not consecutive, during the 30 consecutive trading days
ending on, and including, the trading day immediately before the date the Company sends the related redemption notice; and (ii) the trading
day immediately before the date the Company sends such notice. However, the Company may not redeem less than all of the outstanding Notes
unless at least $50.0 million aggregate principal amount of Notes are outstanding and not called for redemption as of the time the Company
sends the related redemption notice. In addition, calling any Note for redemption will constitute a Make-Whole Fundamental Change with
respect to that Note, in which case the conversion rate applicable to the conversion of that Note will be increased in certain circumstances
if it is converted after it is called for redemption.
If
a “Fundamental Change” (as defined in the Indenture) occurs, then, subject to certain conditions and except as set forth
in the Indenture, noteholders may require the Company to repurchase their Notes at a cash repurchase price equal to the principal amount
of the Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date.
The definition in the Indenture of a Fundamental Change includes certain business combination transactions involving the Company and
certain de-listing events with respect to the common stock.
Lastly,
the Notes contain a beneficial ownership limitation, and as a result of such limitation, noteholders do not have the right to convert
all or any portion of the Notes held by such noteholder, to the extent that immediately prior to, or immediately after giving effect
to such conversion by such noteholder, together with its affiliates and any other persons acting as a group together with such noteholder
or any of such noteholder’s affiliates, would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the number of shares of our common stock outstanding
immediately prior to, and immediately after giving effect to, the conversion of all or any portion of the Notes; provided, that such
4.99% beneficial ownership can be increased or decreased at the discretion of the noteholder; provided further, that such limitation
in no event can exceed 19.99%.
