In addition, certain of our existing stockholders, convertible preferred stockholders, and holders of options, restricted stock unit awards or performance-based awards, in the event they become exercisable, have the right to demand that we file a registration statement covering the offer and sale of their common stock and shares issuable under such options and awards under the Securities Act and to require us to include their securities on a registration statement filed by us. For instance, on August 27, 2025, we filed a registration statement for the resale from time to time of up to 6,096,103 shares of our common stock by the selling securityholder (the “Selling Securityholder”), consisting of 6,096,103 shares of common stock initially issuable upon the conversion of the Issued CPS held by the Selling Securityholder. Pursuant to their registration rights, following the expiration of the initial lock-up term and subject to the terms of the lock-up provisions under the Investor Agreement (as defined below), the Selling Securityholder may, from time to time, sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of any or all of their securities. The dispositions may be at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market price, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices. In the

Any such issuance of additional securities or any exercise of registration rights or the prospect of any such sales, could materially impact the market price of our common stock and could impair our ability to raise capital through future sales of equity securities.

Anti-takeover provisions contained in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws, as well as provisions of Delaware law, could delay, defer, discourage, or prevent a takeover attempt.

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws contain, and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “Delaware General Corporation Law”) contains, provisions which could have the effect of delaying, deferring, discouraging or preventing acquisitions of the Company that some stockholders may favor. These provisions provide for the following
