Guidance, Outlook, and Risks

Key Facts for Investor Verification
- Verify the specific timing and ratio of any reverse stock split implementation, as the Board has discretion to act by December 31, 2025.
- Confirm the impact of the new staggered board structure on future director elections and corporate control.
- Review the amended 2019 Equity Incentive Plan to understand the dilution impact of the increased 350,000 share pool.
- Check subsequent filings for the official execution of the reverse stock split if the Board determines it is necessary.
