Outlook, Risks, and Contingencies

Registration Rights:

• The Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with 325 Capital, LLC, requiring the filing of a registration statement for the resale of Placement Shares and shares issuable upon exercise of Pre-Funded Warrants. The Company bears all filing fees.

• The Company entered into a Voting Agreement with stockholders representing over 50% of pre-offering outstanding shares to support the transactions and seek an increase in authorized shares to permit the exercise of Pre-Funded Warrants.

• Pre-Funded Warrants are not exercisable until approved by stockholders.
• Corporate governance changes (Board seat, Finance Committee, Bylaw amendments) remain in effect as long as the Purchaser beneficially owns at least 10.0% of outstanding Common Stock.

• The filing does not contain specific forward-looking guidance on revenue or earnings, nor does it detail specific risks beyond standard transaction contingencies.

Investor Verification Checklist

• Net Proceeds: Verify the final net cash received after deducting underwriting discounts, placement agent fees (7.0%), and offering expenses from the $15.0 million gross proceeds.
• Authorized Shares: Confirm the status of the stockholder vote required to increase authorized shares for the exercise of Pre-Funded Warrants.
• Use of Proceeds: Review the Registration Statement (Form S-1) for the specific intended use of the $15.0 million raised.
• Dilution Impact: Assess the immediate dilution from the issuance of 6,250,000 public shares, 937,500 over-allotment shares, and 2,772,561 placement shares, plus the potential future dilution from 6,602,439 pre-funded warrants.
• Financial Health: Review the most recent 10-K or 10-Q to determine current cash balances, burn rate, and debt obligations, as this 8-K does not provide operational financial metrics.
