#### Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan
In 2023, the Board of Directors had elected to adopt an Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), that includes reserving a maximum of no more than fifteen (15%) percent (initially 7,309,322 shares) of the issued outstanding shares of Common Stock following the next capital raise of the Company to be available for the grant of Awards under the Plan, all of which have been issued to date in the form of restricted shares with certain vesting conditions. The Plan became effective upon the consummation and completion on June 18, 2024 of the Lyneer Merger. The Plan is designed to enable the flexibility to grant equity awards to the Company’s officers, employees, non-employee directors and consultants and to ensure that it can continue to grant equity awards to eligible recipients at levels determined to be appropriate by the Board and/or the Compensation Committee. On July 22, 2024, we filed with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-8 (No. 333-280946) registering the shares of our common stock issuable under the Incentive Plan.

Management has evaluated the risks that are created by the Company’s compensation programs for all employees, including non-executive officers, and the Compensation Committee has reviewed this evaluation
