Advances under this loan are collateralized by the property and equipment it finances and require interest only payment until converted to a term loan, at which point, principal and interest payments are required. As of December 31, 2024, borrowings under this facility were converted to a term loan maturing on December 23, 2027. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company borrowed an additional $0.2 million under this facility, which has not been converted to a term loan as of March 31, 2025.
