Only those items that are hereby reported are amended; all other items reported in the original Schedule 13D, as amended, remain unchanged. Information given in response to each item shall be deemed incorporated by reference in all other items, as applicable. Capitalized terms not defined in this Amendment have the meanings ascribed to them in the original Schedule 13D, as amended.

Item 3 of the original Schedule 13D, as amended, is hereby amended to add the following language:

On May 24, 2024, the Company entered into an amendment and waiver (the “May 2024 Term Loan Amendment”) to the Term Loan Credit and Security Agreement, dated as of August 5, 2021 (as the same has been and may further be amended, modified, supplemented, renewed, restated or replaced from time to time, the “Term Loan Credit Agreement”), with Quantum LTO Holdings, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Quantum LTO”), the other borrowers and guarantors from time to time party thereto, the lenders from time to time party thereto, and Blue Torch Finance LLC, as disbursing agent and collateral agent for such lenders. The May 2024 Term Loan Amendment, among other things, waives certain requirements to test certain financial covenants and any default that might arise as a result of the restatement of certain of the Company’s historical financial statements.

In connection with the May 2024 Term Loan Amendment, on May 24, 2024, the Company issued to the lenders of the term loans under the Term Loan Credit Agreement (including certain affiliates of the Reporting Person) warrants (the “May 2024 Term Loan Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate of 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Common Stock”), at a purchase price of $0.46 per share. The exercise price and the number of shares underlying the May 2024 Term Loan Warrants are subject to adjustment in the event of specified events, including dilutive issuances at a price lower than the exercise price of the May 2024 Term Loan Warrants, a subdivision or combination of the Common Stock, a reclassification of the Common Stock or specified dividend payments. Upon exercise, the aggregate exercise price may be paid, at each warrant holder’s election, in cash or on a net issuance basis, based upon the fair market value of the Common Stock at the time of exercise.

On July 11, 2024, the Company entered into an amendment (the “July 2024 Term Loan Amendment”) to the Term Loan Credit Agreement. The July 2024 Term Loan Amendment, among other things, (i) amends the Term Loan Credit Agreement such that the total net leverage ratio financial covenant is not tested for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2024 until July 31, 2024, and (ii) provides for the Company to pay certain fees and expenses to the administrative agent for the benefit of the lenders.

In connection with the July 2024 Term Loan Amendment, on July 11, 2024, the Company issued to the lenders of the term loan under the Term Loan Credit Agreement (including certain affiliates of the Reporting Person) warrants (the “July 2024 Term Loan Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock at a purchase price of $0.41 per share. The exercise price and the number of shares underlying the 2024 Term Loan Warrants are subject to adjustment in the event of specified events, including dilutive issuances at a price lower than the exercise price of the 2024 Term Loan Warrants, a subdivision or combination of the Common Stock, a reclassification of the Common Stock or specified dividend payments. Upon exercise, the aggregate exercise price may be paid, at each warrant holder’s election, in cash or on a net issuance basis, based upon the fair market value of the Common Stock at the time of exercise.

On August 13, 2024, the Company entered into an amendment (the “August 2024 Term Loan Amendment”) to the Term Loan Credit Agreement. The August 2024 Term Loan Amendment provides the Company with a new delayed draw term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $25.0 million. The August 2024 Term Loan Amendment also (a) amends the interest rate on the Initial Term Loans (as defined in the Term Loan Credit Agreement) and (b) amends the amortization on the Initial Term Loans such that such amortization shall not commence until September 30, 2025 at a rate of 5.00% per annum. The August 2024 Term Loan Amendment also (i) amends the maximum total net leverage ratio covenant so that such covenant is not tested until June 30, 2025 at the revised levels set forth in the Term Loan Amendment, (ii) includes a new minimum EBITDA covenant to be tested on December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2025, at the levels set forth in the Term Loan Amendment, and (iii) amends the minimum daily liquidity covenant to the revised levels set forth in the Term Loan Amendment. In addition, the August 2024 Term Loan Amendment amends certain mandatory prepayment events, requires the payment of certain fees to the term loan lenders and the engagement of a chief restructuring officer, includes additional budget and variance reporting, and waives certain events of default, in each case, as set forth in the Term Loan Amendment.

In connection with the August 2024 Term Loan Amendment, on August 13, 2024, the Company issued to the lenders of the term loan under the Term Loan Credit Agreement (including certain affiliates of the Reporting Person) warrants (the “August 2024 Term Loan Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate of 7,606,169 shares of Common Stock at a purchase price of $0.31 per share, the closing price of the Common Stock on the date immediately preceding the signing of the warrant agreements. The exercise price and the number of shares underlying the August 2024 Term Loan Warrants are subject to adjustment in the event of specified events, including dilutive issuances at a price lower than the exercise price of the August 2024 Term Loan Warrants, a subdivision or combination of the Common Stock, a reclassification of the Common Stock or specified dividend payments, subject to certain limitations as set forth in the August 2024 Term Loan Warrants. Upon exercise, the aggregate exercise price may be paid, at each warrant holder’s election, in cash or on a net issuance basis, based upon the fair market value of the Common Stock at the time of exercise.

In addition, in connection with t he August 2024 Term Loan Amendment, on August 13, 2024, the Company issued to OC III LVS XL LP (a) an amended and restated warrant to purchase common stock (warrant number 2023-2) to purchase an aggregate of 1,268,684 shares of Common Stock for a purchase price of $0.31 per share, which amends, restates, and replaces, in its entirety, that certain Company Warrant to Purchase Common Stock No. 2023-2, dated as of June 1, 2023 (the “A&R June 2023 Warrant”), (b) an amended and restated warrant to purchase common stock (warrant number 2024-6) to purchase an aggregate of 750,719 shares of Common Stock for a purchase price of $0.31 per share, which amends, restates, and replaces, in its entirety, that certain Company Warrant to Purchase Common Stock No. 2024-6, dated as of May 24, 2024 (the “A&R May 2024 Warrant”), and (c) an amended and restated warrant to purchase common stock (warrant number 2024-12) to purchase an aggregate of 375,000 shares of Common Stock for a purchase price of $0.31 per share, which amends, restates, and replaces, in its entirety, that certain Company Warrant to Purchase Common Stock No. 2024-12, dated as of July 10, 2024 (the “A&R July 2024 Warrant” and, together with the A&R June 2023 Warrant and the A&R May 2024 Warrant, the “A&R Warrants”). Other than lowering the exercise price and inserting certain restrictions on adjustments in the event of dilutive issuances at a price lower than the amended exercise price, the terms of the A&R Warrants are substantially similar to those contained in the original warrants.

Each of the warrants reported in this statement include provisions that restrict the exercise of such warrants to the extent that such exercise would (a) cause the Reporting Person and its affiliates to beneficially own more than 19.99% of the Issuer’s total issued and outstanding Common Stock or (b) would otherwise result in a change of control of the Issuer within the meaning of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(b). The Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership in the reported securities, except to the extent of its pecuniary interest therein.
