Insights
TL;DR: The filing documents a supplemental prospectus and lists transaction and going-concern risks.
The supplement to the Form S-3 and Form S-4 registration statements and the attached prospectus supplement formalize planned securities-related transactions and disclose consents and supporting materials filed on
Key legal dependencies include successful consummation of the described transactions and compliance with covenants in any new notes; failure to complete the transactions could trigger alternative, potentially costly remedies. Monitor definitive closing notices and any amendments to the registration statements in the near term.
TL;DR: The company signals funding or restructuring activity with material cost and covenant risks disclosed.
The prospectus supplement attached to the S-3 and S-4 indicates planned transactions that may involve issuing new notes and other capital-markets activity. The company explicitly warns of significant costs tied to these transactions and the risk of restrictive debt covenants on the new notes.
Investor-relevant items to watch include announcements confirming the size and terms of any new debt or equity issuances and any statements about transaction closings; those will clarify dilution, leverage, and covenant pressure over the coming weeks to months.

Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as “anticipate,” “target,” “expect,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “aim” “seek,” “believe,” “continue,” “will,” “may,” “would,” “could” or “should” or other words of similar meaning. There are several factors which could cause the Company’s actual plans and results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in forward-looking statements and these forward-looking statements are based on information available to us as of the date hereof and represent management’s current views and assumptions. Such factors include, but are not limited to: risks related to the success of our restructuring and turnaround plans; risks related to strengthening our balance sheet and liquidity and improving working capital; risks related to our planned non-core asset sales; increased political uncertainty; the effect of worldwide economic conditions, including recessionary risks; the effect of pandemics; the impact of any activist shareholders; the failure to meet the continued listing requirements of NASDAQ; significant changes in consumer spending patterns or preferences and lower levels of consumer spending resulting from inflation, a general economic downturn or generally reduced shopping activity caused by public safety or consumer confidence concerns; interruptions or delays in the supply of key components or

These factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read in conjunction with the other cautionary statements and risk factors discussed from time to time in the Company’s filings with the SEC, including, but not limited to, those described under the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 12, 2025, our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on May 15, 2025, and August 14, 2025, and subsequent filings with the SEC, which can be found at the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov.
