- Convertible Note Conversions: The PIPE Financing triggered mandatory conversions of various promissory notes into equity:

Material Changes Versus Prior Period
The most significant change is the transition from a debt-heavy capital structure to an equity-funded position following the $7.3 million PIPE Financing. This event triggered the automatic conversion of approximately $5.6 million in outstanding convertible notes (2010, 2011, 2012, and Bridge Notes) into common stock, significantly increasing the share count. Additionally, the Company settled a $1.18 million liability to Konus and terminated employment/consulting agreements with former Chairman Steve Howe and consultant Dr. Hoyoung Huh, waiving all amounts due to them.

Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the exact number of shares issued upon conversion of the 2010, 2011, and 2012 Notes, as the filing notes potential additional issuances if remaining holders elect to convert.
- Confirm the Company's ability to meet the immediate $907,644 cash payment to Konus and the $250,000 Konus Note principal repayment.
- Review the full text of the Subscription Agreements and Warrant forms (Exhibits 4.1, 4.2, 10.1) for specific redemption rights or anti-dilution provisions not summarized in the text.
- Assess the impact of the increased CEO salary ($390,000) on future operating expenses relative to the new cash runway.
- Check for any subsequent filings regarding the conversion status of the remaining 2010 Note Holders to determine if the $244,208 cash liability materializes.
