In connection with the Series B-1 Purchase Agreement, on February 12, 2025, the Company also entered into an Investor Rights Agreement (“IRA”) with the Series B-1 Investors, whereby the Company agreed to provide the Series B-1 Investors with certain registration and other rights. The IRA provides that the board of directors, following the Company’s annual meeting to be held on May 28, 2025, shall consist of seven members, one of whom shall be a director nominated by the lead investor (the “Lead Investor Nominee”), who shall serve on the board effective as of the Closing Date, until the earlier of such time as (i) the lead investor no longer holds at least 51% of the Common Shares (calculated on an as-converted-to-Common Shares basis), subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination, or other similar recapitalization with respect to the Common Shares issued in the private placement, or (ii) the lead investor beneficially owns less than 5% of the outstanding Common Shares as a result of a disposition of shares (such period, the “Lead Investor Rights Period”). The Company also agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to solicit shareholder approval of the Lead Investor Nominee at each general or special meeting of shareholders of the Company at which an election of directors is held during the Lead Investor Right Period.

Additionally, the IRA includes certain protective provisions that restrict the Company’s ability to, among other things, (i) amend, modify, alter or repeal any provision of the Company’s governing documents in a manner adverse to the holders of Series B-1 Preferred Shares, (ii) alter or change the special rights and restrictions of the Series B-1 Preferred Shares and (iii) increase or decrease the authorized number of Series B-1 Preferred Shares, in each case, without the written consent of the lead investor.

Pursuant to the IRA, during the Lead Investor Rights Period, the lead investor is entitled to designate one (1) non-voting observer to the Board to attend all meetings of the Board and committees and subcommittees thereof, subject to the terms of the IRA.
