Reducing our near-term debt service obligations allows us to maintain a stable cash position while demonstrating our dedication to servicing our debt. Furthermore, exchanging our convertible notes for preferred stock significantly strengthens the equity position on our balance sheet while also further enhancing cash flow by eliminating related cash interest and principal payments. We believe these changes demonstrate financial responsibility and position us to resume growth in Fiscal 2025.”
