Change in Principal Accounting/Financial Officer

On, and effective on, November 13, 2025, the Board of Directors of the Company re-appointed Mr. Paul Pinkston, Chief Accounting Officer of the Company, as Principal Accounting Officer and Principal Financial Officer of the Company. Mr. Pinkston had previously served in those roles through the closing of the Mergers on October 31, 2025.

Effective on November 13, 2025, Mr. Long stepped down from the positions of Principal Accounting Officer and Principal Financial Officer of the Company in connection with Mr. Pinkston’s re-appointment to those positions, but continued to serve as Chief Financial Officer of the Company.
