ARK is part of the ARK Invest platform, with a research team rooted in over 40 years of experience in identifying and investing in disruptive innovations across sectors, industries, and markets.

Pursuant to the terms of the MSA, a Management Fee equal to 1.00% per annum of the value of the Company's treasury assets under management will be payable by the Company to ARK as compensation for ARK's advisory services under the MSA. Additionally, ARK will receive warrants (the "ARK Warrants") to purchase up to 2,200,000 shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.001 per share ("Common Stock"), exercisable at $1.01 per share, and expiring ten years following the date of issuance. The ARK Warrants will vest and become exercisable in equal quarterly installments over five years, beginning three months after the MSA effective date. Under the terms of the MSA, the Company has agreed to register those shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the ARK Warrants within 30 days of issuing the ARK Warrants.
