Amendment Description This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A (this “Form 10-K/A”) amends our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026 (“Fiscal 2026”), originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), on March 25, 2026 (the “Original Filing”). We are filing this Form 10-K/A to include the information required by Part III of Form 10-K and not included in the Original Filing. This Form 10-K/A amends the Original Filing to include the information required by Part III of the Original Filing because we have not filed, and will not file, a definitive proxy statement within 120 days after the end of our Fiscal 2026. As required by Rule 12b-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), this Form 10-K/A amends Item 15 of Part IV of the Original Filing to include new certifications by our principal executive officer and interim principal financial officer under Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Because no financial statements are contained within this Form 10-K/A, we are not including certifications pursuant to Section 906 of The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.In addition, we made certain revisions to the cover page, including the deletion of the reference to our proxy statement and inclusion of updated outstanding share information.Except as described above, no other changes have been made to the Original Filing. The Original Filing continues to speak as of the date of the Original Filing, and we have not updated the disclosures contained therein to reflect any events which occurred at a date subsequent to the filing of the Original Filing. This Form 10-K/A does not amend, update or change any other items or disclosure in the Original Filing or reflect events that occurred after the date of the Original Filing. Accordingly, this Form 10-K/A should be read in conjunction with our filings with the SEC subsequent to the date of the Original Filing.
