  Proposal 3 involves the issuance of common stock upon Series B Preferred Stock conversion, which will represent more than 20% of outstanding shares and could result in a change of control, requiring Nasdaq approval.

  Proposal 4 seeks to increase authorized common stock from 12,500,000 to 300,000,000 shares, a 24-fold increase, enabling substantial future capital raises and potential dilution.

This definitive proxy statement finalizes the proposals for the upcoming annual meeting, following the preliminary proxy filed on April 16, 2026. The most impactful proposals include a vote on the conversion of Series B Preferred Stock, which would result in over 20% dilution and a potential change of control, and a massive 24-fold increase in authorized common stock. These proposals signal significant future dilution and a potential shift in company ownership and capital structure, which could materially impact existing shareholders. The approval of new equity incentive and employee stock purchase plans further adds to the potential for dilution. Investors should carefully consider the implications of these proposals on their holdings.
