Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer. On March 28, 2024, Lancer purchased 25,000 shares of the Issuer’s Series C Non-Voting Participating Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Series C Preferred Stock”) for the aggregate purchase price of $25,000,000 pursuant to that Investment Agreement dated as of March 5, 2024 (the “Investment Agreement”) by and between the Issuer and Lancer.

In addition to the Back-Stop Arrangement, pursuant to the Investment Agreement, Lancer will purchase $16.0 million of Series C Preferred Stock concurrently with the settlement of the rights offering in private placement under Rule 506 (the “Concurrent Private Placement”).
