Stakeholder Impact
- Shareholders may experience dilution if the company issues additional shares to repay the notes.
- Employees may be affected by the restrictions on the company's financial flexibility.
- Creditors may be impacted by the company's increased debt burden.
Next Steps
- Aditxt will use the $205,000 to fund operations.
