December 2024 Convertible Promissory Note
On December 10, 2024, in connection with an equity offering, the company and Nant Capital entered into a second amended and restated promissory note. Pursuant to the terms of the second amended and restated promissory note, Tranche 1 of the December 2023 Promissory Note with a principal amount of $125.0 million and Tranche 2 of the December 2023 Promissory Note with a principal amount of $380.0 million were combined into one convertible promissory note with a principal amount of $505.0 million with a maturity date of December 31, 2027. The December 2024 Convertible Promissory Note bears an interest rate of Term SOFR plus 8.0% per annum, payable on a quarterly basis. Pursuant to the terms of the second amended and restated promissory note, the noteholder, in its sole discretion, may convert all of the outstanding principal amount into shares of common stock at a conversion price of $5.4270 per share. The company may prepay the outstanding promissory note, at any time, in whole or in part, without penalty. Upon receipt of a written notice of prepayment from the company, the noteholder has the option to convert the outstanding principal amount to be prepaid and the accrued and unpaid interest thereon into shares of the company’s common stock at the same conversion price of $5.4270 per share. In addition, the noteholder can request up to $50.0 million of the outstanding principal amount and accrued interest to be repaid upon consummation of a specified transaction.
On January 23, 2026, the company entered into an amendment to the December 2024 Convertible Promissory Note to provide the holder with the optional right to convert any portion of the outstanding principal amount into shares of the company’s common stock at any time prior to the maturity date. In accordance with ASC 470-50, the company concluded that the amendment did not represent a substantial modification of the December 2024 Convertible Promissory Note, and the note was not accounted for as an extinguishment and continues to be measured at fair value.
On March 31, 2026, Nant Capital converted $25.0 million of the principal of the December 2024 Convertible Promissory Note into 4,606,596 shares of common stock at a conversion price of $5.4270 per share. Upon conversion, the company derecognized the converted principal at its fair value of $35.3 million and recognized the par value of shares issued in common stock and the remaining excess in additional paid-in capital, on both the condensed consolidated balance sheet and the condensed consolidated statement of stockholders’ deficit. The company did not recognize any gain or loss upon conversion since the December 2024 Convertible Promissory Note is accounted for under the fair value option in accordance with ASC 825.
In connection with the conversion, during the three months ended March 31, 2026, the company reclassified $1.4 million of change in fair value related to instrument-specific credit risk that was previously recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income, on the condensed consolidated statement of stockholders’ deficit, to other expense, net, on the condensed consolidated statement of operations. This reclassification represents the portion of the cumulative change in fair value attributable to instrument-specific credit risk related to the converted principal amount.
As of June 30, 2026, the remaining principal balance of the December 2024 Convertible Promissory Note was $480.0 million.
The company elected the fair value option for recognizing the December 2024 Convertible Promissory Note under ASC 825. Under the FVO election, the note was initially measured at estimated fair value upon issuance and is remeasured at estimated fair value on a recurring basis at each reporting period date. The estimated fair value of the convertible note was computed using the following unobservable inputs at the following dates:

Mandatory Prepayment Feature
The embedded derivative related to a contingently exercisable prepayment feature, which allows the noteholder to request up to a $50.0 million prepayment and accrued interest upon occurrence of a specified transaction (defined in the promissory note) was recorded as a derivative liability on the condensed consolidated balance sheet and measured at fair value prior to the second amended and restated promissory note.
Since the company elected the fair value option to account for the December 2024 Convertible Promissory Note, the embedded derivative is no longer required to be recorded separately but is considered when estimating the fair value of the December 2024 Convertible Promissory Note.
