With all this incredible substantive news, one of the main factors (to me) seems to be standing in the way of sp reaching anywhere near where it should be: Fife.

Companies can escape convertible debt by negotiating debt restructuring, restructuring the debt through a new investor, or, in extreme cases, through legal action claiming usury or securities violations. The key is to stop the conversion price from free-falling, often by capping or replacing the financing.
Strategies to Exit Toxic Financing
Negotiate a Structured Settlement: Work with the creditor to change the debt terms to a fixed conversion price, or swap the debt for preferred equity, reducing immediate pressure.
Refinance or Find New Investment: Secure a new investor to pay off the toxic debt, or swap it for "friendlier" capital, a process commonly known as strengthening the equity.
Legal Action (Rescission): Review transaction documents for violations to initiate legal action to rescind the contract or seek damages, particularly if the interest rates are usurious.
Amend and Extend: Restructure the note by reducing the strike price (to prevent further massive dilution) while extending the maturity date to give the company more time.
Buy Back the Debt: In some cases, if the company finds funds, it can purchase the debt back from the holder at a discount or negotiated price.
