• CEO Urges Shareholder Approval

  CEO Glen DeVos is actively soliciting votes FOR Proposal 2 (issuance of shares for convertible notes) and Proposal 3 (reverse stock split) at the upcoming Annual Meeting.

• Reverse Stock Split Proposal Detailed

  Shareholders are asked to authorize a reverse stock split (ranging from 1-for-5 to 1-for-15) to regain Nasdaq compliance. This proposal also includes a concurrent reduction of authorized shares from 510 million to 150 million.

• Equity Issuance for Convertible Notes

  Proposal 2 seeks approval to issue shares in connection with outstanding convertible notes, allowing the company to conserve cash by repaying debt with equity rather than substantial cash payments.

• Strategic Rationale Provided

  Management argues these measures are critical for executing their commercial strategy, avoiding delisting, and transforming into a commercially successful, self-sustaining business focused on multiple revenue streams.

This filing provides management's detailed rationale for two critical proposals: a reverse stock split to maintain Nasdaq listing and the issuance of shares to repay convertible notes, which would conserve cash. The CEO emphasizes these are necessary tools for the company's strategic plan and commercial execution, despite the inherent dilution. The proposal to reduce authorized shares from 510 million to 150 million in conjunction with the reverse split is a key detail aimed at mitigating future dilution concerns.
