Proposal 3: Approval of an amendment to our certificate of incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of our issued and outstanding common stock in the range of between 1-for-10 and 1-for-25.

What if another matter is properly brought before the meeting?

The Board knows of no other matters that will be presented for consideration at the Annual Meeting. If any other matters are properly brought before the meeting, it is the intention of the persons named in the accompanying proxy to vote on those matters in accordance with their best judgment.

How are proxy materials distributed?

We are mailing the proxy materials to our stockholders of record and beneficial owners as of April 15, 2025. Stockholders will have the ability to access the proxy materials, including this Proxy Statement and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, on the internet atwww.proxydocs.com/BOLT.

In addition, any stockholder may request to receive proxy materials in printed form by mail or electronically by email on an ongoing basis. Choosing to receive future proxy materials by email will save us the cost of printing and mailing documents to stockholders and will reduce the impact of Annual Meetings on the environment. A stockholder who chooses to receive future proxy materials by email will receive an email prior to next year’s annual meeting with instructions containing a link to those materials and a link to the proxy voting website. A stockholder’s election to receive proxy materials by email will remain in effect until the stockholder terminates it.
