Item 1. Legal Proceedings
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
From time to time, the Company may become involved in litigation related to claims arising from the ordinary course of our business. The Company believes that there are no claims or actions pending or threatened against us, the ultimate disposition of which would have a material adverse effect on us.
Item 1A. Ri sk Factors.
Except as set forth below, as of the date of this report, there are no material changes to our risk factors as previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Our failure to generate sufficient cash flow from our business as a result of the proposed convertible notes restructuring and elevated interest rates would adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our ability to pay interest and required principal payments on our indebtedness depends upon cash flows generated by our operating performance. As a result, prevailing economic conditions and financial, business and other factors, many of which are beyond our control, may affect our ability to make these payments and reduce the level of our indebtedness over time.
The interest rate on our proposed convertible notes due October 2028 is 7.5%, and based on the anticipated exchange of approximately $161.2 million of our existing convertible notes due October 2026, our annual coupon payments would be significantly more than our current 2026 Convertible Notes. Additionally, we anticipate spending approximately $108.7 million in cash on the repurchase of a portion of our outstanding convertible notes due October 2026. If we do not generate sufficient cash flow from operations to satisfy our debt servicing obligations, we may have to undertake alternative financing plans, such as refinancing or restructuring our indebtedness, selling assets or seeking to raise additional capital.
Further, our anticipated spending in relation to the debt restructuring combined with elevated interest rates could have significant adverse consequences, including: reducing cash resources available to fund working capital, capital expenditures, product development efforts and other general corporate purposes; impeding our ability to capitalize on strategic opportunities; reducing profitability; increasing our vulnerability to adverse changes in general economic, industry, and market conditions; limiting our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and our industry; and placing us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less debt or better debt servicing options.
The terms of the indenture (the “2028 Convertible Notes Indenture”) that will govern the 2028 Convertible Notes will impose restrictions that may limit our current and future operating flexibility, particularly our ability to respond to changes in the economy or our industry or to take certain actions, which could harm our long-term interests.
The 2028 Convertible Notes Indenture and the exchange agreement governing the exchange of 2026 Convertible Notes for 2028 Convertible Notes (to the extent the exchanging holder continues to hold a specified amount of 2028 Convertible Notes) will contain a number of restrictive covenants that impose significant operating and financial restrictions on us and limit our ability to engage in acts that may be in our long-term best interest, including restrictions on our ability and the ability of our subsidiaries (to the extent any such subsidiaries incur or guarantee indebtedness) to:
• incur additional indebtedness and guarantee indebtedness, including a limitation on incurring revolving credit facility indebtedness in excess of $25 million in aggregate amount (the “Senior Secured Revolving Indebtedness”) and the incurrence of any senior indebtedness; and
• issue certain preferred stock or similar equity securities.
As a result of these restrictions we may be:
• limited in how we conduct our business;
• unable to raise additional debt or equity financing to operate during general economic or business downturns; or
• unable to compete effectively or to take advantage of new business opportunities.
These restrictions may hinder our ability to grow in accordance with our strategies. In addition, while we are not permitted to incur any additional senior indebtedness (other than the Senior Secured Revolving Indebtedness), the incurrence of subordinated indebtedness will be subject to the requirement that the 2028 Convertible Notes be secured by all of our assets (subject to customary exceptions) concurrently with any incurrence of subordinated indebtedness.

Table of Content
A breach of the covenants under the 2028 Convertible Notes Indenture or under the 2026 Convertible Notes Indenture could result in an event of default under the applicable indebtedness. Such a default, if not cured or waived, may allow the creditors to accelerate the related debt and may result in the acceleration of any other debt that is subject to an applicable cross-acceleration or cross-default provision. Furthermore, if we were unable to repay the amounts due and payable under the 2028 Convertible Notes Indenture and the 2028 Convertible Notes are then secured, holders of the 2028 Convertible Notes could proceed against the collateral securing such indebtedness. If the holders of the 2028 Convertible Notes accelerate the repayment of our borrowings, we and our subsidiaries may not have sufficient assets to repay that indebtedness.
