Reverse Stock Split Proposed
Board seeks approval for a discretionary reverse split at a ratio of 1-for-2 to 1-for-20 to regain compliance with Nasdaq's $1.00 minimum bid price requirement. The stock currently trades at $0.57, and the compliance deadline is October 19, 2026.

Authorized Share Increase Capped at 150M
Proposal 1 would increase authorized common shares from 25 million to up to 150 million, with the board having discretion to set the exact number. This is a material change from the prior proxy's 'potentially unlimited dilution' language.
