Investor Verification Checklist

- Confirm the full repayment status of the $5 Million Note following the December 4, 2025, conversion.
- Review the impact of the 7,762,500 shares sold in the secondary offering on market liquidity and potential dilution for remaining shareholders.
- Investigate the identity of the "certain existing stockholders" who participated in the secondary offering to assess insider selling activity.
