Item 4.
Purpose of Transaction
 
Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is amended and supplemented by the addition of the following at the end of Item 4:
 
The Issuer and Slingshot Capital, LLC (the “Lender”), an affiliate of Mr. Jeremy Hitchcock and Ms. Elizabeth Hitchcock, have entered into discussions regarding the Lender providing the Issuer, and its wholly-owned subsidiary Cadence Connectivity, Inc. (“Cadence”), with certain bridge loans.  It is proposed that the Lender would provide an initial loan in the aggregate amount of $1 million, and additional loans, at the sole discretion of the Lender, up to $500,000 (collectively, the “Loan”).  The maximum amount of the Loan at any time may not exceed $1.5 million.  The proceeds from the proposed Loan would be used for working capital purposes.  As proposed, the maturity date for the proposed Loan would be the date on which the Issuer satisfies all of its obligations owed to Silicon Valley Bank (the “Senior Lender”) under the Loan And Security Agreement, by and among the Issuer, Cadence and the Senior Lender, dated as of March 12, 2021, as amended by the First Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of November 1, 2021 (collectively, the “Senior Credit Facility”), and the Senior Lender has no obligation to make any extensions of credit thereunder; provided, however, in no event will such date be later than June 12, 2023.  The interest rate on the proposed Loan would be the rate per annum equal to the greater of (i) the Applicable Federal Rate, or (ii)(y) until February 21, 2023, 8.0% per annum and (z) at all times thereafter, 14.0% per annum.  The Lender would be granted a second-priority security interest in certain collateral of the Issuer and Cadence.  The proposed Loan and the second lien granted thereunder would be subordinated to the outstanding indebtedness and obligations and liens granted pursuant to the Senior Credit Facility.  The proposed bridge loan and security agreement will contain customary covenants, including certain information and inspection rights, as well as customary events of default.  Upon an event of default, the Lender would have the right to declare all outstanding obligations as immediately due and payable, which will bear interest of 18%.  In addition, the parties are discussing the potential resignation of up to three members of the Board, with the Lender having the right to nominate individuals, at least two of whom qualifies as “independent” under the Nasdaq listing rules, to fill the vacancies on the Board created by such resignations.


Item 5.
