Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary
The filing contains no forward-looking guidance, management commentary on financial performance, or specific risk factors beyond the implications of the voting results.

- Monitor Board announcements regarding the potential execution of the authorized reverse stock split.
- Review the definitive proxy statement (filed October 24, 2025) for detailed rationale behind the proposals.
