During the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense within the Cost of Revenues line item of $0 and $100 thousand, respectively, in relation to the vesting of five million Unicorns Common Stock Awards. As of December 31, 2025, five million Unicorns Common Stock Awards remain outstanding and not vested.
