Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the final closing of the transaction on or about October 9, 2025.

- Review the prospectus supplement filed on October 8, 2025, for detailed risk factors.
- Monitor the Investor's actual exercise of the New Warrants, as the $1.4 billion potential proceeds are not guaranteed.
- Check subsequent filings for the impact of the $371.0 million proceeds on the Company's liquidity and working capital.
