Other Events.\n\nOn July 14, 2026, the Company issued a press release relating to the commencement of the Offering. A copy of the press release relating to the Offering is filed as Exhibit 99.2 to this Report and is incorporated by reference herein.\n\nNeither this Report nor the press release attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2 constitutes an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy the Notes, any shares of the Company’s common stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes, or any other securities, nor shall it constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any jurisdiction, in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful. Any offer of the Notes will be made only by means of a private offering memorandum.\n\nCautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements\n\nThis Report contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. Forward-looking statements may include the words “may,” “will,” “estimate,” “intend,” “continue,” “believe,” “expect,” “plan” or “anticipate” and other similar words. Forward-looking statements convey the Company’s current expectations or forecasts of future events. These “forward-looking statements” include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the completion of the Offering; the proposed terms of the Offering; the expected amount and intended use of the proceeds; our preliminary unaudited estimated financial results for the three months ended June 30, 2026; the\n\nconsummation of negotiations with lenders under our existing credit agreement; and the consummation of any refinancing, extension, renewal, exchange or replacement of our outstanding senior notes. Although we believe that the expectations expressed in our forward-looking statements are reasonable, actual results could differ materially from those projected or assumed in our forward-looking statements. Our future financial condition and results of operations, as well as any forward-looking statements, are subject to change and are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties. Without limitation, these risks and uncertainties include the risks related to failure to satisfy the conditions to closing of the Offering; the highly cyclical nature of our business; uncertain economic conditions including the possibility that customer demand may not meet our expectations; our ability to generate sufficient cash to service all of our indebtedness; our indebtedness, financial condition and fulfillment of obligations thereunder; price and trading volume volatility of our common stock; our backlog may not reflect future sales of our products, increased competition; reliance on certain customers and corporate partnerships; risks of customer pick-up delays; shortages and costs of raw materials including the impact of tariffs or other international trade developments; risks in implementing and sustaining improvements in the Company’s manufacturing operations and cost containment; dependence on industry trends and timing; supplier constraints; labor costs and availability; customer acceptance of and reactions to pricing changes; costs of indebtedness; and our ability to execute on our long-term strategic plan. Each forward-looking statement contained in this Report reflects our management’s view only as of the date on which that forward-looking statement was made. We are not obligated to update forward-looking statements or publicly release the result of any revisions to them to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Report or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as required by law. Currently known risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations are described in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including, current reports on Form 8-K and periodic reports on Forms 10-K and 10-Q. We urge you to carefully review those disclosures for a more complete discussion of the risks of an investment in our securities."}
