**Item 2.04. Triggering Events that Accellerate or Increase a Direct Financial Obligation or an Oblgiation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement.**

On July 10, 2025 the Company was notified that the Superior Court of the State of Delaware granted a motion of summary judgment brought by SPAC Sponsor Capital Access ("SCAF") against the Company for $1.5 million due under a settlement agreement, plus interest to date in the amount of approximately $225 thousand, plus attorney's fees of approximately $26 thousand. The Company has accrued a liability for this loss contingency. The parties are in active discussions to resolve the matter.

**Forward-Looking Statements**

This Current Report on Form 8-K ("Form 8-K") contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the U.S. federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as "projects," "may," "will," "could," "would," "should," "believes," "expects," "anticipates," "estimates," "intends," "plans," "potential," "promise" or similar references to future periods. Forward-looking statements are statements that are not historical facts, nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based on the Company's current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding the future of its business, future plans, strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties, and actual results may differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ include, without limitation, delisting from Nasdaq may adversely impact trading in the Company's Common Stock and the Company's ability to raise financing; the Company has and expects to continue to incur significant losses; the Company's need for additional funding, which may not be available on reasonable terms or at all; and the other important factors described under the caption "Risk Factors" in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on April 15, 2024, and its other filings with the SEC. Any forward-looking statement made by the Company in this Form 8-K is based only on information currently available and speaks only as of the date on which it is made. Except as required by applicable law, the Company expressly disclaims any obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.
