On December 11, 2025, the Board of Directors approved and adopted the 2025 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2025 Plan"), effective immediately. Key details include:

Guidance, Outlook, and Regulatory Matters
Management commentary is limited to the description of the 2025 Plan. The company noted its status as a foreign private issuer and elected to follow the "home country rule" exemption under Nasdaq Rules 5615(a)(3). Consequently, the company is exempt from Nasdaq Rule 5635, which generally requires shareholder approval for equity-based compensation. Legal counsel from Ogier has certified that Cayman Islands law and the company's articles of association do not prohibit issuing these securities without prior shareholder approval.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Review the full text of the 2025 Equity Incentive Plan (Exhibit 4.1) for specific vesting schedules and performance criteria.
- Verify the impact of the 3,354,075 share reserve on existing shareholder dilution.
- Confirm the company's continued compliance with Nasdaq listing standards under the home country rule exemption.
