Context: The Company notified v2vmedtech, inc. ("v2v") of its election to discontinue additional development contributions under the Contribution and Stock Purchase Agreement dated April 18, 2023. This decision was made following the completion of Stage 1 and during Stage 2 of the development program.
Key Financial Metrics

- Future Contributions: No further obligation to make additional development contributions under the Agreement.

- Reduce the Company's equity interest in v2v to a capped minority ownership percentage as specified in the Agreement.
Status: v2v has not yet informed the Company of its intended election.
Management Commentary: The Company does not anticipate a material adverse effect on its financial position or liquidity resulting from this discontinuation.
Risks: Forward-looking statements regarding the use of the break fee and the shareholders' election are subject to risks and uncertainties detailed in the Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal period ended December 31, 2025.
