The A&R Warrants are exercisable, in whole or in part (and at any time), for an aggregate number of shares of the Company's common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the "Common Stock") representing 12% of the Common Stock outstanding on the date of any exercise (less the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock previously issued as a result of any partial exercise) at an exercise price of $0.01 per share.

The A&R Warrants expire on March 27, 2026.

The A&R Warrants were exercised in whole on March 24, 2026. Accordingly, the Company issued the Investors the number of shares of Common Stock opposite their names in the table below:
