The term is three years with automatic renewal options.

Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary
Management has highlighted significant execution risks regarding the NAFEO agreement. The filing explicitly states that there is no assurance that NAFEO will successfully raise the required funds, that funds will be deployed as contemplated, or that member institutions will adopt the proposed products. The potential delivery of learning programs to up to 12 HBCUs is contingent upon full funding and implementation.

- Confirm if any budget has been allocated by Amesite for the development of the NAFEO products.
- Review the specific terms of the partnership with Central Michigan University and the Conner Prairie Learning Portal for revenue recognition potential.
- Monitor future filings for updates on the adoption rates of the proposed HBCU learning programs.
