The Company and BoA are negotiating terms and conditions of an additional waiver related to the events of default. BoA and the required lenders had previously waived events of default under the Amended BOA Credit Agreement related to the Company’s failure to deliver the Quarterly Financial Statements and the Quarterly Compliance Certificate until June 8, 2021, which such waiver was subsequently extended until June 15, 2021.
