• Authorized Shares Doubling Proposed

  Proposal 1 seeks to increase authorized common shares from 90,000,000 to 180,000,000. As of August 5, 2026, 82,580,864 shares were outstanding and only 370,147 shares remained unreserved.

• Near-Zero Share Headroom

  Of the 7,419,136 authorized but unissued shares, 7,048,989 are reserved for equity awards, inducement grants, and warrants, leaving minimal capacity for new issuances without this amendment.

• Officer Exculpation Amendment

  Proposal 2 would extend Delaware-law exculpation to officers, limiting personal monetary liability for duty-of-care breaches in direct stockholder claims, though not for derivative claims or bad-faith conduct.

• Forum Selection Provisions

  Proposal 3 would designate Delaware Court of Chancery as exclusive forum for internal corporate claims and federal courts for Securities Act claims, potentially reducing multi-jurisdiction litigation costs.

Shareholders are being asked to approve a doubling of authorized common shares from 90 million to 180 million. With only 370,147 unreserved shares left after accounting for outstanding equity awards, warrants, and the recent $75 million private placement, this vote gives the board flexibility for future capital raises, acquisitions, and equity compensation. However, it also creates significant potential dilution for existing holders. The proxy also includes officer exculpation and forum selection provisions that shift litigation risk away from management and toward Delaware courts.
