The refinancing removes near-term liquidity concerns but adds high-interest debt (9.85% floor). Monitor progress of the SONATA-HCM Phase 3 trial (sotagliflozin) as it triggers additional tranche availability and potential interest-only extensions. The warrants are modestly dilutive. No changes to revenue or earnings guidance.
