• Reverse Stock Split Proposal

  Shareholders will vote on a reverse stock split at a ratio between 1:10 and 1:100 to meet Nasdaq's minimum bid price and market value of listed securities requirements. This follows delisting notices received on February 26, 2026, making the vote critical for continued listing.

• Equity Incentive Plan Expansion

  Proposal to increase the number of shares authorized for issuance under the 2025 Equity Incentive Plan by 5,250,000 shares. This represents approximately 10.89% potential dilution based on current outstanding shares.

• Board Composition Changes

  Two directors (Allison W. Brady and Julie Kampf) are departing, and two new director candidates (Andrew J. Cutler, M.D. and Tomas J. Philipson) are nominated. The company aims to regain compliance with Nasdaq's requirement for a majority of independent directors.

• Annual Meeting Date Set

  The virtual Annual Meeting of Stockholders is scheduled for July 22, 2026, where these critical proposals will be voted upon.
