On June 6, 2025, Assignee entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “APA”) with an unaffiliated third-party purchaser (the “Stalking Horse”).

The Auction may be adjourned from time to time at Assignee’s discretion, and will utilize such methodology, terms, and conditions as Assignee may determine. In the event no qualifying Alternative Offers, other than that of the Stalking Horse, are timely received, the Auction will be deemed canceled.
