Material Changes

Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
Management Commentary: The Board determined the repricing was fair, just, and reasonable to the Company and its stockholders. The action was taken under the Amended and Restated 2017 Stock Option and Incentive Plan and did not require stockholder approval.
Retention Conditions: A "Retention Period" of one year applies. If an option holder exercises options or leaves voluntarily/for cause before the first anniversary, they must pay the original, higher exercise price. If terminated without cause, the reduced price is retained.
Unusual Items: The filing highlights a significant reduction in exercise prices for executive and director options, ranging from original prices as high as $561.00 down to $6.56.
Investor Verification Checklist

- Confirm the exact number of options repriced for each named executive officer versus the total pool.
- Review the "Form of Notice of Stock Option Repricing" referenced in the filing for detailed terms.
- Monitor the Company's cash position given the potential dilution and expense recognition.
