Material Changes and Executive Actions
- Option Vesting: The Compensation Committee fully vested an existing stock option held by CEO and Chairman Richard Mills. This option, originally for 1,000,000 shares (reduced to 333,334 shares following a 2023 reverse stock split), was contingent on the resolution of a dispute regarding the "Guaranteed Price" from a 2021 Merger Agreement with Reflect Systems, Inc.

- New Option Grants: On June 2, 2025, the Company issued new stock options under its 2023 Stock Incentive Plan:
- Richard Mills (CEO): 206,000 shares.
- David Ryan Mudd (Interim CFO): 69,000 shares.
- Terms of New Grants: The new options have a ten-year term, an exercise price of $3.05, and vest in three equal installments on June 2, 2026, 2027, and 2028, subject to continued service.
Outlook, Risks, and Contingencies
The filing confirms the resolution of a significant contingency: the dispute over the "Guaranteed Consideration" with RSI Exit Corporation (representing former Reflect stockholders). This resolution was a prerequisite for the vesting of the CEO's prior option grant. No forward-looking guidance or new risk factors were disclosed in this report.
