Convertible Notes
On November 5, 2024, the Company issued a secured convertible note (the “November 2024 Note”) to RSLGH, LLC (“RSLGH”), a subsidiary of Green Thumb, a related party. The November 2024 Note is a secured obligation of the Company and ranks senior to all indebtedness of the Company except for the May 2025 Notes and the August 2025 Notes (both as defined below), which rank on parity with the November 2024 Note. The November 2024 Note will matured on November 5, 2025 and accrued interest at a 10.0% annualized rate. The principal amount of the November 2024 Note was paid on the maturity date. The November 2024 Note provided for advances of up to $20 million in the aggregate, of which $10 million was advanced upon issuance. The November 2024 Note was amended on May 8, 2025 to issue pre-funded warrants in lieu of cash interest, with 18,614 pre-funded warrants issued on May 8, 2025 and an additional 11,373 pre-funded warrants issued on September 1, 2025, which were issued in lieu of the cash interest that would otherwise be payable under the November 2024 Note. The number of pre-funded warrants is equal to the cash interest amount otherwise payable on the November 2024 Note divided by the closing share price on May 8, 2025, the effective date of the amendment. No changes were made to the conversion price of the principal amount of the November 2024 Note. On May 22, 2025, the Company and RSLGH entered into a second amendment to the November 2024 Note, which amended the terms to, among other things, permit RSLGH to elect, subject to any required approvals under Nasdaq listing rules, to receive pre-funded warrants in lieu of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the November 2024 Note at a conversion price equal to the existing conversion price of $3.158 less the $0.001 exercise price of each pre-funded warrant. On November 3, 2025, the holder of the November 2024 Note elected to convert the outstanding principal and interest, into pre-funded warrants. The outstanding principal and accrued interest amounts of $10 million and $175 thousand respectively, resulted in the issuance of 3,167,564 and 55,433 pre-funded warrants, respectively.
On May 22, 2025, the Company issued secured convertible notes with an aggregate original principal amount of $30.0 million (collectively the “May 2025 Notes”) to RSLGH and to certain other third-party accredited investors. The May 2025 Notes are secured obligations of the Company and rank senior to all indebtedness of the Company except for the August 2025 Notes, which ranks on parity with the May 2025 Notes. The May 2025 Notes will mature on November 22, 2026 and accrue interest at a 10.0% annualized rate, with interest to be paid on the first calendar day of each September and March while the May 2025 Notes are outstanding, in pre-funded warrants, beginning September 1, 2025. The principal amount of the May 2025 Notes will be payable on the maturity date. The May 2025 Notes may be converted into Common Stock or, at the election of the holder, into pre-funded warrants, with a beneficial ownership limitation for RSLGH of 49.99% and a beneficial ownership limitation for other holders of 4.99%, in each case subject to applicable Nasdaq listing rules. If a holder elects to convert the May 2025 Notes into Common Stock, the conversion price per share will be $23.53, equal to the most recent closing price of the Common Stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market at the time the May 2025 Notes were issued, subject to customary adjustments for certain corporate events. If a holder elects to convert the May 2025 Notes into pre-funded warrants, and for interest payments payable in the form of pre-funded warrants, the conversion price per pre-funded warrant will be equal to the $23.53 conversion price less than $0.001 exercise price of the warrant. The conversion of the May 2025 Notes into Common Stock and/or pre-funded warrants is subject to certain customary conditions and, to the extent necessary, the receipt of stockholder approval under Nasdaq listing rules.
On August 25, 2025, the Company issued secured convertible notes with an aggregate original principal amount of $50.0 million (collectively the “August 2025 Notes”) to RSLGH and to certain other third-party accredited investors. The August 2025 Notes are secured obligations of the Company and rank senior to all indebtedness of the Company except for the May 2025 and November 2024 Notes, which rank on parity with the August 2025 Notes. The August 2025 Notes will mature on February 25, 2027 and accrue interest at a 10.0% annualized rate, with interest to be paid on the first calendar day of each September and March, while the August 2025 Notes are outstanding beginning March 1, 2026. The principal amount of the August 2025 Notes will be payable on the maturity date. The August 2025 Notes may be converted into Common Stock or, at the election of the holder, into pre-funded warrants, with a beneficial ownership limitation for RSLGH of 49.99% and a beneficial ownership limitation for other holders of 4.99%, in each case subject to applicable Nasdaq listing rules. If a holder elects to convert the August 2025 Notes into Common Stock, the conversion price per share will be $29.475, equal to the Minimum Price as such term is defined under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635 at the time the August 2025 Notes were issued, subject to customary adjustments for certain corporate events. If a holder elects to convert the August 2025 Notes into pre-funded warrants, and for interest payments elected to be paid in the form of pre-funded warrants, the conversion price per pre-funded warrant will be equal to the $29.475 conversion price less than $0.001 exercise price of the warrant. The conversion of the August 2025 Notes into Common Stock and/or pre-funded warrants is subject to certain customary conditions and, to the extent necessary, the receipt of stockholder approval under Nasdaq listing rules.
The May 2025 Notes and August 2025 Notes (together referred to as “the Notes”) impose certain customary affirmative and negative covenants upon the Company, including covenants relating to ranking and reservation of shares. If an event of default under one or more of the Notes occurs and is not waived, the holder can elect to accelerate all or a portion of the then-outstanding principal amount of the applicable Note, plus accrued and unpaid interest, including default interest, which accrues at a rate per annum equal to 14% from the date of a default or event of default. The Company was in compliance with these covenants as of December 31, 2025.
The Company determined the Notes do not contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives in accordance with ASC 815. Borrowings under the Notes as of December 31, 2025 totaled $72.0 million, $27.0 million of which are recorded on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets in related party debt, current, $45.0 million of which are recorded in related party debt, net of current, and the remaining are reported in long-term debt, net of current.
Related party interest expense incurred on the Notes amounted to $4.1 million and $156 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

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.
