As disclosed in the Original Form 8-K, the Company offered Dr. Weber the opportunity to receive certain benefits if Dr. Weber executes and does not revoke a separation agreement as set forth in her Amended and Restated Employment Agreement with the Company dated January 8, 2026 (the “Employment Agreement”).
