Killer combo: Material agreement + unregistered equity (likely PIPE/convertible)
Actionable Insight ▲ Bullish

The restructuring removes bankruptcy risk and positions Quantum for operational turnaround. Expect positive stock reaction on deleveraging news, but monitor for selling pressure from PIPE investors after registration effective. The 75% dilution is a near-term overhang.
