convertible promissory notes financial
"the Company issued convertible promissory notes (the “May 2026 Notes”)"
A convertible promissory note is a loan a company takes that can later be turned into shares instead of being paid back in cash; think of lending money now in exchange for a voucher that can become ownership later. Investors care because it mixes credit risk and potential ownership upside—it can protect lenders if a company struggles while also diluting existing shareholders when converted, affecting future share value and investor returns.
Qualified Financing financial
"following the consummation of a “Qualified Financing” (as defined in the May 2026 Notes)"
Fundamental Transaction financial
"or upon the consummation of a “Fundamental Transaction” (as defined in the May 2026 Notes)"
Conversion Price financial
"at the “Conversion Price” (as defined in the May 2026 Notes)"
The conversion price is the fixed price at which a convertible security, like a bond or preferred stock, can be exchanged for shares of common stock. It acts like a set rate that determines how many shares an investor can receive if they choose to convert their investment. This helps investors understand the value and potential benefits of converting their securities into company shares.
working capital financial
"utilized by the Company to fund working capital needs"
Working capital is the money a business has available to cover its daily expenses, like paying bills and buying supplies. It’s like the cash in your wallet that helps you handle everyday costs; having enough ensures the business can operate smoothly without running into money shortages.
