In connection with the Company's review of its cash runway and cost structure and following approval from the Board of Directors (the "Board"), the Company implemented a temporary reduction in the compensation or fees payable, as applicable, of its executive officers and Board, effective on or about February 16, 2026, at rates ranging from 25% to 50%. The Company further indicated that it intended to restore compensation and fees to the amounts in effect immediately prior to such reductions at such time as the Company secured sufficient financing or other sources of capital.

Following the initial closing of the Private Placement, and its good-faith determination of its financial ability to do so, the Company repaid the members of its executive leadership team an amount equal to the difference between such executive’s base salary or fee structure in effect immediately prior to the reduction and the reduced salary or fees paid during the applicable reduction period. The Company undertook the same determination with respect to Board fees and restored Board compensation to its previously established levels. Concerning the Board, because both the temporary reduction in fees and the reinstatement of such fees occurred prior to the first payment of such fees due for 2026, no repayment of any temporarily reduced fees was necessary by the Company.

In April and May 2026, certain holders of shares of the Company's Series A Preferred Stock elected to convert 330.76 shares of Series A preferred stock into 636,077 shares of Class A common stock.
