Convertible Notes
On August 18, 2025, the Company issued $345.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2.500% convertible senior notes due 2030. The Convertible Notes are general, unsecured obligations of the Company and bear interest at a fixed rate of 2.500% per year, payable semiannually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year, beginning on April 1, 2026. The Convertible Notes will mature on October 1, 2030, unless earlier converted, redeemed, or repurchased.
The Convertible Notes are convertible at the option of the holders at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding July 1, 2030 only under the following conditions: (1) during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on December 31, 2025 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of the Company’s Class A Common Stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day; (2) during the five business day period after any ten consecutive trading day period (the “Measurement Period”) in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of the Convertible Notes for each trading day of the Measurement Period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the Class A Common Stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day; (3) if the Company issues a notice of redemption, at any time prior to the close of business on the scheduled trading day immediately preceding the redemption date; or (4) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events. On or after July 1, 2030 until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert all or any portion of their notes at any time, in integral multiples of $1,000 principal amount, at the option of the holder regardless of the foregoing conditions. Upon conversion, the Company may satisfy its conversion obligation by paying or delivering, as the case may be, cash, shares of Class A Common Stock or a combination of cash and shares of Class A Common Stock, at the Company’s election.
The Company may not redeem the notes prior to October 6, 2028. The Company may redeem for cash all or any portion of the notes, at the Company’s option, on or after October 6, 2028 and prior to the 26th scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, but only if the “liquidity condition” (as defined below) is satisfied and the last reported sale price of the Class A Common Stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading day period (including the last trading day of such period) ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides notice of redemption, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. The “liquidity condition” is satisfied if the Company has filed all reports and other materials required to be filed by Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as applicable, during the preceding 12 months, after giving effect to all applicable grace periods thereunder and other than current reports on Form 8-K; or if the Company has elected to settle all conversions by cash settlement. If the Company redeems less than all the outstanding Convertible Notes, at least $75.0 million aggregate principal amount must be outstanding and not subject to redemption as of, and after giving effect to, delivery of the relevant notice of redemption (unless the Company makes an “all notes election” with respect to such partial redemption, in which case such partial redemption limitation shall not apply). No sinking fund is provided for the notes.
The initial conversion rate for the Convertible Notes is 76.2631 shares of Class A Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of the notes, which represents an initial conversion price of approximately $13.1125 per share of Class A Common Stock. The conversion rate and conversion price are subject to customary adjustments upon the occurrence of certain events. In addition, holders who convert their notes in connection with a make-whole fundamental change or a notice of redemption may be entitled to an increase in the conversion rate. For the potential dilutive impact of the Convertible Notes if-converted, refer to Note 14 - Net Loss per Share.
The Convertible Notes include customary covenants and certain events of default after which the notes may be declared immediately due and payable and set forth certain types of bankruptcy or insolvency events of default involving the Company after which the notes become automatically due and payable. As of December 31, 2025, the Company was in compliance with all debt covenant requirements related to the Convertible Notes.
As of December 31, 2025, the aggregate fair value of the Convertible Notes was $526.4 million based on an observable market quote in an active market (Level 2 inputs). Debt discount and issuance costs are comprised of costs incurred in connection with debt issuance and are presented in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as a deduction to the carrying amount of the debt and amortized using the effective interest method to interest expense over the term of the debt. The conversion feature was evaluated under ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” and ASC 470-20 “Debt with Conversion and Other Options” and was not separated as a derivative because it met the equity scope exception; therefore, the Convertible Notes are accounted for entirely as a liability. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the effective interest rate on the Convertible Notes, including the impact of the debt discount and issuance costs, was approximately 3.04% and the Company recognized $3.9 million of interest expense related to the Convertible Notes which included the amortization of the debt discount and issuance costs of $0.8 million.
Capped Calls
On August 18, 2025, in connection with the issuance of the Convertible Notes (as described above), the Company entered into capped call transactions (the “Capped Calls”) with certain financial institutions at an aggregate cost of approximately $36.8 million. The Capped Calls cover, subject to anti-dilution adjustments, the number of Class A Common Stock underlying the Convertible Notes. The Capped Calls can be settled in cash or shares at the Company’s option and are expected generally to reduce the potential dilution to the Class A Common Stock upon any conversion of the Convertible Notes and/or offset any cash payments the Company is required to make in excess of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes. The Capped Calls have an initial strike price of $13.1125 and an initial cap price of $20.9800 per share, which are subject to certain adjustments under the terms of the Capped Calls. The Capped Calls meet the criteria for equity classification under ASC 815-40 as they are indexed to the Company’s own stock and require settlement in shares or cash at the Company’s option. The Capped Calls cover approximately 26,310,770 of Class A Common Stock. These instruments are excluded from diluted earnings per share calculations as they are currently anti-dilutive.
Stifel Loan Agreement
On March 4, 2025, we entered into a loan and security agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Stifel Bank. The Loan Agreement provides for a secured revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $40.0 million (the “Revolving Facility”). The proceeds of the loans (and any letters of credit issued thereunder) may be used for the funding of growth initiatives, including working capital needs and general corporate purposes as the Company continues to focus on minimizing its cost of capital while maximizing available funding alternatives. Amounts outstanding under the Revolving Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the greater of (a) Term SOFR (secured overnight financing rate) plus 2.75% and (b) 6.00% and requires the Company to meet certain financial and other covenants. The Loan Agreement matures on April 30, 2027 (the “Maturity Date”). Subject to certain conditions in the Loan Agreement, amounts borrowed thereunder may be repaid and reborrowed at any time prior to the Maturity Date. As of December 31, 2025, the Company was in compliance with all covenants related to the Loan Agreement. As of December 31, 2025, there was no outstanding debt under the Stifel Loan Agreement.
On January 12, 2026, the Company and Stifel Bank entered into a waiver, in respect to the Loan Agreement pursuant to which Stifel Bank consented to the acquisition of Lanteris (as discussed in Note 19 - Subsequent Events) and halted any borrowing and covenant obligations by the Company under Revolving Facility.
Live Oak Credit Mobilization Facility
On December 12, 2019, the Company entered into a loan agreement with Live Oak Banking Company (the “Credit Mobilization Facility”) which provided a $12.0 million credit mobilization facility that was paid in full as of November 2023. In July 2022, we entered into the Second Amended and Restated Loan Agreement with Live Oak Banking Company which provided an $8.0 million mobilization credit facility with a loan maturity of July 14, 2024. The Credit Mobilization Facility bears interest (payable monthly) at a rate per annum equal to the greater of (a) the prime rate, as published in the Wall Street Journal newspaper, plus 2.0% and (b) 5.0% and requires the Company to meet certain financial and other covenants and are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company. There was $8.0 million outstanding under the Credit Mobilization Facility as of December 31, 2023. The Company paid $5.0 million during the second quarter of 2024 and paid the remaining $3.0 million in July 2024 and the facility has been terminated.
Bridge Loan
On January 10, 2024, the Company entered into a series of loan documents with Pershing LLC, an affiliate of Bank of New York Mellon, pursuant to which Pershing LLC agreed to an extension of credit in an amount not to exceed $10.0 million to the Company (the “Bridge Loan”). Borrowings under the Bridge Loan bear interest at the target interest rate set by the Federal Open Market Committee (“Fed Funds Rate”), subject to a 5.5% floor, plus a margin. For borrowings, the applicable rate margin is 0.9%. The $10.0 million in borrowings are available for working capital needs and other general corporate purposes were required to be repaid by February 22, 2024.
The Bridge Loan included guarantees (the “Credit Support Guarantees”) by Ghaffarian Enterprises, LLC (an affiliate of Dr. Kamal Ghaffarian) (“Ghaffarian Enterprises” or “Guarantor”) and documentation by which Ghaffarian Enterprises, LLC supported such Credit Support Guarantees with collateral including marketable securities (the “Credit Support”), in each case in favor of the lender for the benefit of the Company. On January 10, 2024, the Company and Ghaffarian Enterprises entered into a credit support fee and subrogation agreement, where the Company agreed to pay a support fee of $148 thousand for the Credit Support.
On January 29, 2024, the Bridge Loan was repaid in full as a result of $10.0 million in contributions from the Guarantor under the Bridge Loan Conversion transaction further described in Note 10.

About Debt Disclosures
Debt disclosures detail a company's borrowing structure — the types of instruments, interest rates, maturity schedule, and covenant restrictions that define its financial obligations and flexibility. This section is essential for assessing refinancing risk, interest rate exposure, and the margin of safety against financial distress.
Key signals: the maturity schedule reveals concentration risk — large maturities within 1-2 years during tight credit markets can force dilutive refinancing or asset sales. Compare the fair value of debt against carrying amount to gauge whether the market views the company's credit risk differently than the balance sheet suggests. Watch covenant compliance disclosures for tightening cushions, especially leverage and interest coverage ratios. Variable-rate debt exposure quantifies sensitivity to interest rate changes. Secured versus unsecured mix affects recovery rates and future borrowing capacity. Compare net debt-to-EBITDA against industry peers and covenant limits to assess financial health.
