Equity [Abstract]  
Convertible Preferred Stock Convertible Preferred Stock
On January 9, 2023, the Company issued an aggregate of 38,750 shares of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Convertible Preferred Stock”), all of which are convertible into shares of Common Stock at the election of the holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock, subject to the exchange and beneficial ownership limitations described below. The Convertible Preferred Stock ranks senior to the Company’s Common Stock with respect to dividends, distributions and payments on liquidation, winding-up and dissolution. Upon issuance, the shares of the Convertible Preferred Stock are fully paid and non-assessable, which means that its holders have paid their purchase price in full and are not required to pay additional funds. The Company recorded the Convertible Preferred Stock net of issuance costs of $0.7 million. The issuance costs are being accounted for similar to a discount on the Convertible Preferred Stock that is being reduced over the period ending June 29, 2026 (using the effective interest method) as a charge to additional paid-in capital.

Dividends

The holders of Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to dividends on the Liquidation Preference (as defined below) at the rate of 7.5% per annum, payable in-kind. The Company may, at its option, pay such dividends in cash from and after the earlier of June 29, 2026, or the termination or waiver of the restriction on cash dividends and/or redemptions that is set forth in the Prior Credit Facilities (such earlier date, the “Applicable Date”). The holders are also entitled to participate in dividends declared or paid on the Common Stock on an as-converted basis.

Liquidation and Redemption

Upon a liquidation, dissolution, winding up or change of control of the Company, each share of Convertible Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive an amount per share of Convertible Preferred Stock equal to the greater of (i) the Liquidation Preference and (ii) the amount that the holder of Convertible Preferred Stock (each, a “Holder” and collectively, the “Holders”) would have been entitled to receive at such time if the Convertible Preferred Stock had been converted into Common Stock immediately prior to such liquidation event. Upon certain bankruptcy events, the Company is required to pay to each Holder an amount in cash equal to the Liquidation Preference being redeemed. From and after the Applicable Date, each Holder shall have the right to require the Company to redeem all or any part of such Holder’s Convertible Preferred Stock for an amount equal to the Liquidation Preference. At the time of a redemption, if the Company does not have sufficient funds to redeem any preferred shares submitted for redemption, each holder is entitled to receive interest on the unpaid portion of the redemption at 1% per month until fully paid (the “1% contingent interest”).

As of May 26, 2024 and May 28, 2023, the aggregate Liquidation Preference of the Convertible Preferred Stock approximated $43.0 million and $39.3 million, respectively.

Conversion

Each Holder has the right, at its option, to convert its Convertible Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, into fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock at an initial conversion price equal to $7.00 per share. The conversion price is subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments, including in the event of any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or similar events, and is also subject to adjustment in the event of subsequent offerings of Common Stock or convertible securities by the Company for less than the conversion price. Pursuant to the terms of the Certificate of Designations of the Convertible Preferred Stock filed by the Company with the Delaware Secretary of State on January 9, 2023, unless and until approval of the Company’s stockholders is obtained as contemplated by NASDAQ listing rules, no Holder may convert shares of Convertible Preferred Stock through either an optional or a mandatory conversion into shares of Common Stock if and solely to the extent that the issuance of such shares of Common Stock would exceed the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that is equal to 19.99% of the amount of Common Stock of the Company outstanding on the date on which we issued the Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Exchange Limit”). Additionally, subject to certain exceptions and waiver by each Holder, the Company will not issue any shares of Common Stock to any respective Holder to the extent that such issuance of Common Stock would result in such Holder beneficially owning in excess of 9.99% of the then-outstanding Common Stock (together with the Exchange Limit, the “Conversion Limits”). Subject to certain conditions, the Company may from time to time, at its option, require conversion of all or any portion of the outstanding shares of Convertible Preferred Stock to Common Stock if, for at least 20 consecutive trading days during the respective measuring period the closing price of the Common Stock was at least 150% of the conversion price
(the “Mandatory Conversion Right”). The Company may not exercise this Mandatory Conversion Right unless certain conditions with regard to the shares of Common Stock to be issued upon such conversion are satisfied.

Voting

Each Holder is entitled to vote with the holders of the shares of Common Stock on all matters submitted for a vote of holders of shares of Common Stock (voting together with the holders of shares of Common Stock as one class). Each Holder is entitled the whole number of votes equal to the number of shares of Common Stock into which such Holder’s shares of Convertible Preferred Stock would be convertible on the record date for the vote or consent (subject to the Conversion Limits).

Registration Rights Agreement

On January 9, 2023, in connection with the issuance of the Convertible Preferred Stock, the Company and the Holders also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) pursuant to which, among other things, the Company granted the Holders certain registration rights with respect to the shares of common stock issuable upon the conversion of the Convertible Preferred Stock. The Registration Rights Agreement contains monetary penalties if the Company fails to maintain the effectiveness of the registration statement. The Company expensed in fiscal year 2024 and 2023 and accrued as of May 26, 2024 and May 28, 2023, approximately $3.5 million and $0.5 million, respectively, in monetary penalties under the Registration Rights Agreement due to the delinquent filing of the Company’s annual and quarterly reports with the SEC, which are included in Other (expense) income, net.

Classification

The Convertible Preferred Stock is redeemable by the holders after June 29, 2026. Until such date, it is redeemable contingent upon the occurrence of certain events. As a result, the Company has presented the Convertible Preferred Stock outside of permanent equity. The Convertible Preferred Stock was recorded at its issuance date fair value of the net proceeds raised. The current carrying value approximates fair value as it reflects the accumulation of the PIK dividends and accretion of the issue costs.

The Company recorded proceeds of $38.8 million, net of costs associated with the issuance of the Convertible Preferred Stock of $0.7 million, totaling $38.1 million. The discount to the proceeds arising from issuance costs is being amortized up to its full redemption value through June 29, 2026.
During the year ended of May 26, 2024, the Company recorded paid in-kind (“PIK”) dividends of approximately $3.1 million as a reduction to Additional Paid-in Capital and an increase to the Convertible Preferred Stock balance. As of May 26, 2024 and May 28, 2023, there were approximately 42,460 shares and 39,420 shares, respectively, of Convertible Preferred Stock issued and outstanding.
