Section 4 – Proposal 3

 

Q: Why is shareholder approval required?

A: Proposal 3 seeks the shareholder approval required under applicable Nasdaq rules to complete the transaction framework described in the definitive proxy statement.

 

Q: Are any shares disqualified from voting on Proposal 3?

A: Yes. In accordance with Nasdaq Rule 5635 and IM-5635-2, the 2,223,549 shares of Common Stock issued to VigilAigent Corp. (Seller) in the First Closing on June 29, 2026, are not entitled to vote on Proposal 3, and any votes cast by such shares on Proposal 3 will be disregarded.

 

Q: What happens if Proposal 3 is approved?

A: The Company would be able to proceed with the transaction framework as described in the proxy materials, subject to the terms and conditions disclosed therein.

 

Q: What happens if Proposal 3 is not approved?

A: If Proposal 3 is not approved, the Company will be unable to issue shares of Common Stock in excess of the 19.9% Nasdaq threshold. This limitation could prevent the Company from satisfying closing conditions for the Second Closing or settling contingent Earn-Out Consideration through equity, which could require renegotiating terms, utilizing cash reserves, or seeking alternative financing arrangements.

 

Q: How do I vote?

A: Follow the instructions included with your proxy materials or contact your broker or bank if your shares are held in street name.

 

Q: Where can I learn more?

A: Review the CEO Letter to Shareholders, the definitive proxy statement, and future shareholder communications based on publicly disclosed information.
