Capitalized terms used in this Amendment No. 7 but not otherwise defined shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Initial 13D. Item 4 of the Initial 13D is hereby amended and restated as set forth below: "On December 31, 2024, the Issuer commenced a rights offering (the "Rights Offering") for the sale of up to 9,230,769 Common Shares in the aggregate. Pursuant to the Rights Offering, the Company distributed to each holder of record of Common Stock as of the close of business on December 13, 2024 one non-transferable subscription right (each, a "Subscription Right") for every share of Common Stock owned by such holder as of the close of business on December 13, 2024, the record date for the Rights Offering. Each Subscription Right carried with it a basic subscription right, which entitled Subscription Rights holders to purchase 0.7220 Common Shares per Subscription Right at a subscription price of $9.75 per whole share (the "Subscription Price"), and an over-subscription privilege (the "over-subscription privilege"), which entitled each Subscription Rights holder that had exercised its basic subscription right in full to subscribe for additional Common Shares at the same Subscription Price of $9.75 per whole share, to the extent that Common Shares offered in the Rights Offering had not been purchased by other holders of basic subscription rights and further subject to the completion by the Issuer of certain pro rata allocations and adjustments. The Rights Offering expired on January 31, 2025 at 5:00 p.m., New York City time. Mithaq SPC fully-exercised all of the 7,000,787 basic subscription rights it received pursuant to the Rights Offering, which represent 5,054,567 Common Shares in the aggregate, and Snowball fully-exercised all of the 1,000 basic subscription rights it received pursuant to the Rights Offering, which represent 722 Common Shares in the aggregate. Mithaq SPC additionally exercised its over-subscription privilege in respect of a further up to 4,175,480 Common Shares, which amount was reduced to 1,639,743 Common Shares following the completion by the Issuer of its pro rata allocations and adjustments. Snowball has elected to pay the subscription price for the 722 Common Shares it subscribed for in the Rights Offering using its working capital. Mithaq SPC has elected to pay the subscription price for (i) 521,284 of the Common Shares it subscribed for in the Rights Offering pursuant to its basic subscription right using its working capital (amounting to $5,082,519 in the aggregate) and (ii) the remaining 6,173,026 Common Shares it expects to receive in the Rights Offering by delivering to the Issuer indebtedness for borrowed money owed by the Issuer to Mithaq SPC pursuant to the Unsecured Promissory Note, dated February 29, 2024, among the Issuer, certain subsidiaries of the Issuer, and Mithaq SPC (the "First Note") in an amount equal to $60,187,003.50 (which, following delivery to Mithaq SPC of the Common Shares to be issued to it in the Rights Offering, would leave a remaining principal balance pursuant to the First Note of $18,412,996.50). Item 5 of this Amendment No. 7 is incorporated herein by reference."
