Exhibit A hereto is a true, correct and complete list of (i) the name of each Account; (ii) the principal amount of such Account’s Existing Notes; and (iii) the principal amount of Exchanging Investor’s New Notes to be issued to such Account in respect of its Existing Notes.

- 12 -

(c) Ownership of Existing Notes. Each of the Exchanging Investors is and, immediately before the Closing, will be the beneficial owner of the Existing Notes set forth on Exhibit A (or, if there are no Accounts, the Investor is the sole legal and beneficial owners of all of the Existing Notes).

(d) Rule 144 Matters. Neither the Investor nor any other Exchanging Investor is, as of the date of this Agreement, or, at the Closing, will be, and, at no time during the three months preceding the date of this Agreement or preceding the Closing, was or will any of them be, a “person” that is an “affiliate” of the Company (as such terms are defined in Rule 144).

(e) Passage of Good Title; No Liens. When the Existing Notes are exchanged pursuant to this Agreement, the Company will acquire good, marketable and unencumbered title to the Existing Notes, free and clear of all Liens.(f) Non-Contravention. The Exchange and the other transactions contemplated hereby to be performed by the Investor or any Exchanging Investor will not (i) contravene any law, rule or regulation binding on the Investor or such Exchanging Investor or any investment guideline or restriction applicable to the Investor or such Exchanging Investor; (ii) constitute a breach or violation or result in a default under the organizational documents (or any similar documents governing each Account) of the Investor or such Exchanging Investor; or (iii) constitute a breach or violation or result in a default under any loan agreement, mortgage, lease or other agreement or instrument to which the Investor or such Exchanging Investor is a party or by which it is bound, except, in the case of clauses (i) and (iii) above, for such contraventions, conflicts, violations or defaults that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a material adverse effect on the performance by the Investor or such Exchanging Investor of their respective obligations under this Agreement.

(g) Jurisdiction of Residence. The Investor and each Exchanging Investor is a resident of the jurisdiction set forth on Exhibit A attached to this Agreement.

(h) Compliance with Certain Laws; No Consents. The Investor and each Exchanging Investor will comply with all applicable laws and regulations in effect in any jurisdiction in which the Investor or any of the Exchanging Investors acquires any New Notes pursuant to the Exchange and will obtain any consent, approval or permission required for any such acquisition under the laws and regulations of any jurisdiction to which the Investor or any of the Exchanging Investors is subject or in which the Investor or any Exchanging Investor acquires any New Notes pursuant to the Exchange.

(i) Acknowledgement of Risks; Investment Sophistication. The Investor and each Exchanging Investor understands and accepts that the New Notes to be acquired in the Exchange involve risks. Each of the Investor and the Exchanging Investors has such knowledge, skill and experience in business, financial and investment matters that such person is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the Exchange and an investment in the New Notes. With the assistance of each Exchanging Investor’s own professional advisors, to the extent that the Exchanging Investor has deemed appropriate, each Exchanging Investor has made its own legal, tax, accounting and financial evaluation of the merits and risks of an investment in the New Notes and the consequences of the Exchange and this Agreement. Each Exchanging Investor has considered the suitability of the New Notes as an investment in light of its own circumstances and financial condition, and each of the Investor and the Exchanging Investor is able to bear the risks associated with an investment in the New Notes.

- 13 -

(j) No View to Distribution; No Registration. Each Exchanging Investor is acquiring the New Notes solely for such Exchanging Investor’s own beneficial account, for investment purposes, and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution of the New Notes in violation of the Securities Act; provided, however, that by making the representations herein the Investor does not agree to hold any of the New Notes for any minimum or other specific term and reserves the right to assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of the New Notes at any time pursuant to an effective registration statement under, or an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Each of the Investor and the Exchanging Investors understands that the offer and sale of the New Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws by reason of specific exemptions under the provisions thereof that depend in part upon the investment intent of the Investor and the Exchanging Investors and the accuracy of the other representations made by the Investor, for itself and on behalf of each Exchanging Investor, in this Agreement. Each of the Investor and the Exchanging Investors understands that (i) the Company and its affiliates and agents are relying upon the representations and agreements contained in this Agreement (and any supplemental information) for the purpose of determining whether the Exchange meets the requirements for such exemptions and (ii) when issued pursuant to this Exchange Agreement, the New Notes will be issued with a “restricted” CUSIP number.

(k) Information Provided. The Investor and each Exchanging Investor acknowledges that no person has been authorized to give any information or to make any representation concerning the Company or the Exchange other than as contained in this Agreement and the Covered SEC Filings. The Company takes no responsibility for, and provides no assurance as to the reliability of, any other information that others may provide to the Investor or any Exchanging Investor.

(l) No Investment, Tax or Other Advice. The Investor confirms that it and each Exchanging Investor is not relying on any statement (written or oral), representation or warranty made by, or on behalf of, the Company, Oppenheimer or any of their respective affiliates or agents as investment, tax or other advice or as a recommendation to participate in the Exchange and receive the Exchange Consideration in exchange for Existing Notes. The Investor confirms that it and each Exchanging Investor has had access to and the opportunity to read the New Notes Indenture and has not relied on any statement (written or oral) of the Company, Oppenheimer or any of their respective affiliates or agents as to the terms of the New Notes other than as set forth in this Agreement, the New Notes Indenture, the New Notes, the Collateral Documents and the Existing Indenture Amendment. Neither the Company, Oppenheimer nor any of their respective affiliates or agents is acting or has acted as an advisor to the Investor or any Exchanging Investor in deciding whether to participate in the Exchange and to exchange Existing Notes for the Exchange Consideration.

(m) Investment Decision Matters. Except as set forth in this Agreement, the Investor confirms that none of the Company, Oppenheimer or any of their respective affiliates or agents have (i) given any guarantee or representation as to the potential success, return, effect or benefit (either legal, regulatory, tax, financial, accounting or otherwise) of an investment in the New

- 14 -

Notes; or (ii) made any representation to the Investor or any Exchanging Investor regarding the legality of an investment in the New Notes under applicable investment guidelines, laws or regulations. In deciding to participate in the Exchange, each of the Investor and the Exchanging Investors is not relying on the advice or recommendations of the Company or Oppenheimer, or their respective affiliates or agents, and has made its own independent decision that the terms of the Exchange and the investment in the New Notes are suitable and appropriate for it.

(n) Due Diligence. Each of the Investor and the Exchanging Investors is familiar with the business and financial condition and operations of the Company and has had the opportunity to conduct its own investigation of the Company and the New Notes. The Investor, on behalf of itself and each Exchanging Investor, has had access to and the opportunity to review the Covered SEC Filings and such other information concerning the Company and the New Notes it deems necessary to enable it to make an informed investment decision concerning the Exchange. The Investor, on behalf of itself and each Exchanging Investor, has been offered the opportunity to ask questions of the Company and received answers thereto, as it deems necessary to enable it to make an informed investment decision concerning the Exchange.

(o) No Regulatory Agency Recommendation or Approval. Each of the Investor and the Exchanging Investors understands that no federal or state agency has passed upon the merits or risks of an investment in the New Notes or made any recommendation or endorsement, or made any finding or determination concerning the fairness or advisability, of such investment or the consequences of the Exchange and this Agreement.

(p) Accredited Investor and Qualified Institutional Buyer Status. Each Exchanging Investor is (i) an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3), (7), (8), (9), (12) or (13) of Regulation D under the Securities Act; or (ii) a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A. Each of the Investor and the Exchanging Investors agrees to furnish any additional information reasonably requested by the Company or any of its affiliates or agents to assure compliance with applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws in connection with the Exchange.

(q) Mutual Negotiation. The Investor acknowledges that the terms of the Exchange have been mutually negotiated between the Investor (for itself and on behalf of each Exchanging Investor) and the Company. The Investor was given a meaningful opportunity to negotiate the terms of the Exchange on behalf of itself and each Exchanging Investor. The Investor had a sufficient amount of time to consider whether to participate in the Exchange, and neither the Company nor Oppenheimer, nor any of their respective affiliates or agents, has placed any pressure on the Investor to respond to the opportunity to participate in the Exchange.

(r) Financial Adviser Fee. The Investor acknowledges that it and each Exchanging Investor understands that the Company intends to pay Oppenheimer a fee in respect of the Exchange.

(s) Additional Documentation. The Investor will, upon request, execute and deliver, for itself and on behalf of any Exchanging Investor, any additional documents that the Company, the Existing Notes Trustee or the New Notes Trustee may reasonably request to complete the Exchange.

- 15 -

(t) Bring-Down of Representations and Warranties. Except to the extent that the Investor notifies the Company in writing to the contrary at or before the Closing, each of the Investor’s representations and warranties, on behalf of itself and each Exchanging Investor, contained in this Agreement will be deemed to have been reaffirmed and confirmed as of the Closing.

(u) Reserved.

(v) Settlement Instructions. No later than one (1) Business Day after the date hereof, the Investor agrees to deliver to the Company settlement instructions substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached to this Agreement for each of the Exchanging Investors.

(w) Wall-Cross Matters. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that it and each Exchanging Investor has not transacted, and will not transact, in any securities of the Company, including, but not limited to, any hedging transactions, from the time the Investor was first contacted by the Company or Oppenheimer with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement until after the Release Time. Solely for purposes of this Section 5(w), subject to the Investor’s compliance with its obligations under U.S. federal securities laws and the Investor’s internal policies, (i) “Investor” will not include any employees or affiliates of the Investor that are effectively walled off by appropriate “Fire Wall” information barriers approved by the Investor’s legal or compliance department; and (ii) the foregoing representations and covenants of this Section 5(w) will not apply to any transaction by or on behalf of an Account that was effected without the advice or participation of, or such Account’s receipt of information regarding the transactions contemplated hereby provided by, the Investor. Each Exchanging Investor has continuously owned each of its Existing Notes since November 10, 2024 or earlier.

(x) No Reliance on Oppenheimer; Related Matters. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that Oppenheimer has not acted as a financial advisor or fiduciary to the Investor or any Exchanging Investor and that Oppenheimer and its directors, officers, employees, representatives and controlling persons have no responsibility for making, and have not made, any independent investigation of the information contained herein or in the Company’s SEC filings and make no representation or warranty to the Investor or any Exchanging Investor, express or implied, with respect to the Company, the Existing Notes or the Exchange Consideration or the accuracy, completeness or adequacy of the information provided to the Investor or any Exchanging Investor or any other publicly available information, nor will any of the foregoing persons be liable for any loss or damages of any kind resulting from the use of the information contained therein or otherwise supplied to the Investor or any Exchanging Investor.

(y) No Public Market. The Investor acknowledges and agrees on behalf of itself and each Exchanging Investor that no public market exists for the New Notes and that there is no assurance that a public market will ever develop for the New Notes.

Section 6. REGISTRATION.

(a) Filing of Registration Statement. The Company agrees that on or prior to the date that is ten (10) business days after the Closing (such date, the “Filing Deadline”), the Company will file with the SEC (at the Company’s sole cost and expense) a registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) registering the resale of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the New Notes (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any shares of Common Stock issuable in connection with the Interest Make-Whole Amount (as defined in the New Notes Indenture)) and the Interest Shares (as defined in the New Notes Indenture) (together with any equity security issued or issuable with respect to such Registrable Securities by way of share split, dividend, distribution, recapitalization, merger, exchange, replacement or similar event, the “Registrable Securities”), and the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective as soon as reasonably practicable after the filing thereof, but no later than the earlier of (i) the 60^th calendar day (or 90^th calendar day if the SEC notifies the Company that it will “review” the Registration Statement) following the Closing and (ii) five (5) Business Days after the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the SEC that the Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or be subject to further review (such date, the “Effectiveness Date”). By 9:30 a.m. New York City time on the date following the date any Registration Statement or post-effective amendment has become effective, the Company shall file with the SEC in accordance with Rule 424 under the Securities Act the final prospectus to be used in connection with sales pursuant to such Registration Statement. The Company’s obligations to include the Registrable Securities in the Registration Statement are contingent upon the Investor furnishing in writing to the Company such information regarding the Investor, the securities of the Company held by the Investor and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities as shall be reasonably requested in writing by the Company to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities, and shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request that are customary of a selling stockholder in similar situations; provided that the Investor shall not in connection with the foregoing be required to execute any lock-up or similar agreement or otherwise be subject to any contractual restriction on the ability to transfer the Registrable Securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Effectiveness Date falls on a day which is not a Business Day or other day that the SEC is closed for business, the Effectiveness Date shall be extended to the next Business Day on which the SEC is open for business. The Company will provide a draft of the Registration Statement to the Investor for review at least three (3) Business Days in advance of filing the Registration Statement. In no event shall the Investor be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Registration Statement without its prior written consent; provided, that, if the SEC requests that the Investor be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Registration Statement, the Investor will either withdraw its Registrable Securities from the Registration Statement or provide written consent to be so identified. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the SEC prevents the Company from including any or all of the shares proposed to be registered under the Registration Statement due to limitations on the use of Rule 415 for the resale of the Registrable Securities by the applicable stockholders or otherwise, such Registration Statement shall register for resale such number of Registrable Securities which is equal to the maximum number of Registrable Securities as is permitted by the SEC. In such event, the number of Registrable Securities to be registered for each selling stockholder named in the Registration Statement shall be reduced pro rata among all such selling stockholders, and the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC, as promptly as allowed by the SEC, one or more registration statements to register the resale of those Registrable Securities that were not registered on the initial Registration Statement, as so amended, and each such registration statement shall constitute the Registration Statement for purposes of this Section 6. For purposes of clarification, any failure by the Company to file the Registration Statement by the Filing Deadline or to effect such Registration Statement by the Effectiveness Date shall not otherwise relieve the Company of its obligations to file or effect the Registration Statement set forth in this Section 6.

- 17 -

(b) Notices to the Investor. In the case of the registration, qualification, exemption or compliance effected by the Company pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall, upon reasonable request, respond to the Investor as to the status of such registration, qualification, exemption and compliance. At its expense the Company shall:

(i) except for such times as the Company is permitted hereunder to suspend the use of the prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement, use its commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the continuous effectiveness of the Registration Statement, and to be supplemented and amended to the extent necessary to ensure that such Registration Statement is available or, if not available, that another registration statement is available for the resale of the Registrable Securities, until the earliest of (A) the date on which all of the Registrable Securities may be resold without volume or manner of sale limitations pursuant to Rule 144 and without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information required under of Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable), (B) the date on which all of the Registrable Securities have actually been sold pursuant to Rule 144 or pursuant to the Registration Statement or otherwise been transferred and subsequent disposition of such securities shall not require registration or qualification of such securities under the Securities Act, (C) the Registrable Securities cease to be issuable pursuant to the terms of the New Notes Indenture and cease to be outstanding, and (D) the date which is six months after the maturity of the New Notes.

(ii) advise the Investor, as promptly as reasonably practicable:

(1) when a Registration Statement or any amendment thereto has been filed with the SEC;

(2) after it shall receive notice or obtain knowledge thereof, of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for such purpose;

(3) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Registrable Securities included therein for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and

(4) subject to the provisions in this Agreement, of the occurrence of any event that requires the making of any changes in any Registration Statement or prospectus so that, as of such date, the statements therein are not misleading and do not omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Company shall not, when so advising the Investor of such events, provide the Investor with any material, nonpublic information regarding the Company other than to the extent that providing notice to the Investor of the occurrence of the events listed in (1) through (4) above may constitute material, nonpublic information regarding the Company;

- 18 -

(iii) use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement as soon as reasonably practicable;

(iv) upon the occurrence of any event contemplated in Section 6(b)(ii)(4) above, except for such times as the Company is permitted hereunder to suspend, and has suspended, the use of a prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to as soon as reasonably practicable prepare a post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement or a supplement to the related prospectus, or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of the Registrable Securities included therein, such prospectus will not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

(v) cause the Registrable Securities to be listed on each securities exchange or market, if any, on which the shares of Common Stock issued by the Company have been listed;

(vi) not less than three (3) Business Days prior to the filing of the Registration Statement and not less than one (1) Business Day prior to the filing of any related prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto (including any document that would be incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference) furnish to the Investor copies of all such documents proposed to be filed, which documents (other than those incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference) will be subject to the review of the Investor;

(vii) for as long as the Investor holds Registrable Securities, use commercially reasonable efforts to file all reports for so long as the condition in Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable) is required to be satisfied, and provide all customary and reasonable cooperation, necessary to enable the undersigned to resell the Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144 (in each case, when Rule 144 becomes available to the Investor) and if the Company is not required to file reports with the SEC pursuant to such laws, it will, for so long as the Investor holds the Registrable Securities, prepare and furnish to the Investor and make publicly available the information described in Rule 144(c)(2), if the provision of such information will allow resales of the Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144; and

(viii) otherwise, in good faith, cooperate reasonably with, and take such customary actions as may reasonably be requested by the Investor, consistent with the terms of this Agreement, in connection with the registration of the Registrable Securities.

- 19 -

(c) Delayed or Postponed Effectiveness of Registration Statement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall be entitled to delay or postpone the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, and from time to time to require any Investor not to sell under the Registration Statement or to suspend the effectiveness thereof, if (i) it determines that in order for the Registration Statement not to contain a material misstatement or omission, an amendment or supplement thereto would be needed or (ii) the negotiation or consummation of a transaction by the Company or its subsidiaries is pending or an event has occurred, which negotiation, consummation or event, the Company’s board of directors reasonably believes, upon the advice of outside legal counsel, would require additional disclosure by the Company in the Registration Statement of material information that the Company has a bona fide business purpose for keeping confidential and the non-disclosure of which in the Registration Statement would be expected, in the reasonable determination of the Company’s board of directors, upon the advice of outside legal counsel, to cause the Registration Statement to fail to comply with applicable disclosure requirements (each such circumstance, a “Suspension Event”); provided, however, that (A) the Company may not delay or suspend the Registration Statement on more than two occasions or for more than forty-five (45) consecutive calendar days, or more than a total of ninety (90) calendar days, in each case during any twelve-month period and (B) the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make such Registration Statement available for sale by the Investor of such securities as soon as practicable thereafter. Upon receipt of any written notice from the Company of the happening of any Suspension Event (which notice shall not contain material nonpublic information and not be subject to any duty of confidentiality) during the period that the Registration Statement is effective or if as a result of a Suspension Event the Registration Statement or related prospectus contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made (in the case of the prospectus) not misleading, the Investor agrees that it will promptly discontinue offers and sales of the Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, sales conducted pursuant to Rule 144) until the Investor receives copies of a supplemental or amended prospectus (which the Company agrees to promptly prepare) that corrects the misstatement(s) or omission(s) referred to above and receives notice that any post-effective amendment has become effective or unless otherwise notified by the Company that it may resume such offers and sales (which notice shall not contain material nonpublic information and not be subject to any duty of confidentiality). If so directed by the Company, the Investor will deliver to the Company or, in the Investor’s sole discretion destroy, all copies of the prospectus covering the Registrable Securities in the Investor’s possession; provided, however, that this obligation to deliver or destroy all copies of the prospectus covering the Registrable Securities shall not apply (i) to the extent the Investor is required to retain a copy of such prospectus (A) in order to comply with applicable legal, regulatory, self-regulatory or professional requirements or (B) in accordance with a bona fide pre-existing document retention policy or (ii) to copies stored electronically on archival servers as a result of automatic data back-up. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to deliver unlegended shares of Common Stock to a transferee of the Investor in connection with any sale of Registrable Securities with respect to which the Investor has entered into a contract for sale, prior to the Investor’s receipt of the notice of a Suspension Event and for which the Investor has not yet settled.

(d) Indemnification of the Exchanging Investors. The Company shall, notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Exchanging Investor (to the extent a seller under the Registration Statement), and its officers, directors, employees and agents, and each person who controls such Exchanging Investor (within the

- 20 -

meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including, without limitation, reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees) and expenses (collectively, “Losses”), as incurred, that arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any prospectus included in the Registration Statement, or any form of prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any prospectus or form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, or (ii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, Exchange Act or any state securities law or any rule or regulation thereunder, in connection with the performance of its obligations under this Section 6(d), except, in each case, to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statements, alleged untrue statements, omissions or alleged omissions are based upon information regarding such Exchanging Investor furnished in writing to the Company; provided, however, that the indemnification contained in this Section 6(d) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Losses if such settlement is effected by the Investor without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), nor shall the Company be liable for any Losses to the extent they arise out of or are based upon a violation which occurs (A) in connection with any failure of such Exchanging Investor to deliver or cause to be delivered a prospectus made available to such Exchanging Investor by the Company in a timely manner, (B) as a result of offers or sales effected by or on behalf of such Exchanging Investor by means of a freewriting prospectus (as defined in Rule 405) that was not authorized by the Company, or (C) in connection with any offers or sales effected by or on behalf of such Exchanging Investor in violation of Section 6(c) of this Agreement. The Company shall notify each Exchanging Investor promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any proceeding arising from or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Section 6(d) of which the Company is aware. The indemnity set forth in this Section 6(d) shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of an indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by each Exchanging Investor.

(e) Indemnification of the Company. Each Exchanging Investor shall, severally and not jointly with the other Exchanging Investors or the Other Investors, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers, agents and employees, and each person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against all Losses, as incurred, arising directly from the provision of any untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any prospectus included in the Registration Statement, or any form of prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising directly out of any omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any prospectus, or any form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, in any such case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statements or omissions are based upon information regarding such Exchanging Investor furnished in writing to the Company by such Exchanging Investor expressly for use therein; provided, however, that the indemnification contained in this Section 6(e) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Losses if such settlement is effected without the consent of such Exchanging Investor (which consent shall not

- 21 -

be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) nor shall such Exchanging Investor be liable for any Losses to the extent they arise out of or are based upon a violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by the Company. In no event shall the liability of any Exchanging Investor be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by such Exchanging Investor upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation. Each Exchanging Investor shall notify the Company promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any proceeding arising from or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Section 6(e) of which such Investor is aware of which the Investor shall seek indemnification under this Agreement; provided that the failure by an Exchanging Investor to give such notice shall not relieve the Company of its indemnification obligations hereunder, except to the extent that the failure to give such notice is materially prejudicial to the Company’s ability to defend such claim or litigation. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of an indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by such Exchanging Investor.

(f) Notice of Indemnifying Party. Any person or entity entitled to indemnification herein shall (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any person’s or entity’s right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (ii) unless in the judgment of counsel retained by such indemnified party an actual conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties exists with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel mutually reasonably satisfactory between the indemnifying party and the indemnified party. Failure of any indemnified party to give such notice shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations or liabilities pursuant to this Agreement, except (and only) to the extent that it shall be finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to appeal or further review) that such failure shall have materially and adversely prejudiced the indemnifying party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claims, unless in the reasonable judgment of the indemnifying party it would be inappropriate due to actual conflicts of interest existing between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which cannot be settled in all respects by the payment of money (and such money is so paid by the indemnifying party pursuant to the terms of such settlement), which settlement shall not include a statement or admission of fault and culpability on the party of such indemnified party, and which settlement shall include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

- 22 -

(g) Contribution. If the indemnification provided under this Section 6 from the indemnifying party is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any Losses referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such Losses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided, however, that the liability of any Exchanging Investor shall be limited to the net proceeds received by such Exchanging Investor from the sale of New Notes giving rise to such indemnification obligation. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, was made by (or not made by, in the case of an omission), or relates to information supplied by (or not supplied by, in the case of an omission) such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the indemnifying party’s and indemnified party’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the Losses shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 6, any legal or other fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution pursuant to this Section 6(g) from any person or entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

Exhibit 99.1

BigBear.ai Announces Exchange of a Portion of its Existing 6.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 for New 6.00% Convertible Senior Secured Notes due 2029

COLUMBIA, MD – December 19, 2024 – BigBear.ai Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: BBAI) (“BigBear.ai” or the “Company”) today announced that, on December 19, 2024, it has entered into separate, privately negotiated exchange agreements (the “Exchange Agreements”) with a limited number of holders of its 6.00% convertible senior notes due 2026 (the “Existing Convertible Notes”). Pursuant to such Exchange Agreements, BigBear.ai will exchange (the “Exchange Transactions”) approximately $182.3 million in aggregate principal amount of the Existing Convertible Notes for $182.3 million in aggregate principal amount of new 6.00% convertible senior secured notes due 2029 (the “New Convertible Notes”) and approximately $0.4 million in cash, with such cash payment representing the accrued and unpaid interest on such Existing Convertible Notes. The New Convertible Notes will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed, on a senior, secured basis, by the Company and certain of its existing and future direct and indirect subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions (the “guarantors”), and will initially be secured on a first-priority basis by substantially all assets of the Company and such guarantors, subject to certain exceptions. The Exchange Transactions are expected to settle on or about December 27, 2024, subject to customary closing conditions.

Upon completion of the Exchange Transactions, the aggregate principal amount of the Existing Convertible Notes outstanding will be approximately $17.7 million. BigBear.ai will not receive any cash proceeds from the issuance of the New Convertible Notes pursuant to the Exchange Transactions.

The New Convertible Notes will be senior, secured obligations of BigBear.ai and will accrue interest at a rate of (i) 6.00% per annum, if interest is paid in cash and (ii) 7.00% per annum, if BigBear.ai elects, subject to certain conditions, to pay interest in kind with the shares of its common stock, in each case payable semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning on June 15, 2025. Payment of interest in shares will be at a price equal to 95% of the daily volume-weighted average price per share of BigBear.ai’s common stock over an agreed upon period. The New Convertible Notes will mature on December 15, 2029, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased by BigBear.ai. At any time before the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date, noteholders may convert their notes at their option into shares of BigBear.ai’s common stock, together, if applicable, with cash in lieu of any fractional share, at the then-applicable conversion rate. However, until BigBear.ai has obtained the stockholder approval contemplated by certain listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange (the “Requisite Stockholder Approval”), the number of shares of common stock deliverable upon conversion of the New Convertible Notes will be limited to comply with these listing standards, and any shares of common stock that would otherwise have been deliverable upon conversion will instead be settled in cash. The initial conversion price will be equal to 115% of the daily volume-weighted average price per share of BigBear.ai’s common stock on the date of execution of the Exchange Agreements, and the initial conversion rate per $1,000 principal amount of New Convertible Notes will be a number of shares of common stock equal to $1,000 divided by such initial conversion price. The conversion rate and conversion price will be subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events.

Holders who convert their New Convertible Notes will also be entitled to an interest make-whole payment of up to 7.50% of the aggregate principal amount of notes converted, subject to reduction as further described in the indenture for the New Convertible Notes. Interest make-whole payments are payable in cash or shares of common stock at the Company’s election, subject to certain limitations including a limitation on the number of shares of common stock deliverable upon conversion of the New Convertible Notes to comply with New York Stock Exchange listing standards. Payment of the interest make-whole in shares will be at a price equal to 95% of the average of the daily volume-weighted average price per share of BigBear.ai’s common stock over an agreed upon period.

The New Convertible Notes will not be redeemable at BigBear.ai’s election before December 27, 2025. The New Convertible Notes will be redeemable, in whole but not in part (subject to certain limitations), for cash at BigBear.ai’s option at any time, and from time to time, on or after December 27, 2025 and prior to the close of business on November 16, 2029, but only if the last reported sale price per share of BigBear.ai’s common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price for a specified period of time and certain other conditions are satisfied. The redemption price will be equal to the principal amount of the New Convertible Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date.

If a “fundamental change” (as defined in the indenture for the New Convertible Notes) occurs, then noteholders may require BigBear.ai to repurchase their New Convertible Notes for cash. The repurchase price will be equal to the principal amount of the New Convertible Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the applicable repurchase date, plus any remaining amounts that would be owed to, but excluding, the maturity date.

The indenture for the New Convertible Notes will contain a number of restrictive covenants and limitations, including restrictions on the Company’s ability to incur indebtedness or liens, make restricted payments, issue preferred stock or disqualified stock, transact with affiliates, sell material intellectual property, or make investments or dispositions, as further described in the indenture for the New Convertible Notes.

The New Convertible Notes are entitled to the benefits of certain registration rights. Pursuant to the Exchange Agreements, BigBear.ai agrees to register the resale of the New Convertible Notes and the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the New Convertible Notes under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”).

In connection with the Exchange Transactions, BigBear.ai will obtain consents from certain holders of its Existing Convertible Notes sufficient to amend certain terms of the indenture governing the Existing Convertible Notes prior to or concurrently with the closing of the Exchange Transactions. BigBear.ai expects that concurrently with the closing of the Exchange Transactions, BigBear.ai, the guarantors and the trustee of the Existing Convertible Notes will enter into the Third Supplemental Indenture (the “Third Supplemental Indenture”) to the indenture governing the Existing Convertible Notes to effect such amendments, including amendments to eliminate certain restrictive covenants and limitations, as further described in the Third Supplemental Indenture.

- 2 -

In connection with the Exchange Transactions, BigBear.ai intends to enter into an agreement to terminate the existing senior secured revolving credit facility established under the credit agreement entered into on December 7, 2021, as amended from time to time, by and among BigBear.ai, the other borrowers party thereto from time to time, the lenders from time to time party thereto and Bank of America N.A. as administrative agent and collateral agent for the lenders. Such termination will be effective substantially concurrently with the closing of the Exchange Transactions. There were no outstanding borrowings under the existing senior secured revolving credit facility prior to its termination.

The Exchange Transactions and the guarantees have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act or any other securities laws. The shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the New Convertible Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act or any other securities laws, and the New Convertible Notes and such shares cannot be offered or sold except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and any other applicable securities laws. This press release does not constitute an offer to sell, or the solicitation of an offer to buy, the Existing Convertible Notes, the New Convertible Notes or the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the New Convertible Notes, nor will there be any sale of the New Convertible Notes or such shares of common stock in any state or other jurisdiction in which such offer, sale or solicitation would be unlawful.
