<u>Strategic Transformation Restricted Stock Unit ("RSU") Plan</u>

On June 8, 2026 the Company's Board voted to approve and adopt a Strategic Transformation Restricted Stock Unit Plan (the "RSU Plan") designed to align management, directors, and key advisors with the successful execution of the Company's strategic transition into the cannabinoid wellness and pharmaceutical sectors. This RSU Plan is not designed to reward a transaction; but rather is designed to reward the successful transformation of the Company and the creation of sustainable stockholder value.

The Company has publicly communicated its intention to pursue strategic alternatives that may result in a merger, acquisition, business combination, or other transformational transaction that positions the Company for long-term growth and stockholder value creation.

The Board approved the RSU Plan recognizing that successfully identifying, negotiating, financing, closing, and integrating such a transaction, while simultaneously restoring and maintaining compliance with applicable NYSE listing standards, will require extraordinary efforts from management, directors, and key advisors.

The RSU Plan, which is subject to stockholder approval in accordance with NYSE American rules, is summarized as follows:

<u>Proposed Plan Structure</u>

The RSU Plan will represent 20% of the Company's fully diluted shares outstanding, which is presently approximately 8,373,000 shares.

Adoption of the RSU Plan requires and will not be effective prior to the Company obtaining stockholder approval.

Stockholder approval of the RSU Plan is expected to be an express closing condition to any merger, business combination, change of control transaction, or other strategic transaction approved by the Board.

Awards under the RSU Plan will be determined by the Compensation Committee and Board of Directors based upon contributions to the successful execution of the Company's strategic transformation.

<u>Vesting Framework</u>

Subject to stockholder approval, the RSU Plan is expected to have the following performance-based vesting structure:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 50% of awarded RSUs vest upon closing of the strategic transaction (inclusive of stockholder approval of the RSU Plan);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 25% of awarded RSUs vest upon achievement of NYSE listing compliance including with respect to the recent notice of stockholders' equity deficiency received by the Company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 25% of awarded RSUs vest six months following achievement of the NYSE compliance referred to above, subject to continued service and/or a consulting role.

<u>Strategic Rationale</u>

The proposed RSU Plan is intended to directly align the interests of management, directors, and key advisors with those of stockholders. Unlike traditional equity compensation programs, the proposed awards will be tied to the successful completion of a transformational transaction and the achievement of critical post-closing milestones that are expected to drive long-term stockholder value.

The Board believes this structure will appropriately reward performance, promotes retention through a critical transition period, and ensures that participants realize value only upon the successful execution of the Company's strategic objectives. Management and the Board are effectively committing a significant portion of their future compensation opportunity to the successful completion of the Company's transformation strategy, including the achievement of NYSE compliance and the delivery of a transaction designed to maximize shareholder value.
