On December 31, 2025, pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 11, 2025 by and among the Registrant, Bandit Parent, LP, a Delaware limited partnership ("Parent") and Bandit Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Parent ("Merger Sub"), Merger Sub merged with and into the Registrant (the "Merger"), with the Registrant surviving as an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Parent.
