Buy Plan / Sale Plan: These are also open market purchases/sales of shares, but in this case the transaction is part of a trading plan. Rule 10b5-1 allows insiders to setup a trading plan to buy/sell stocks over a certain period of time. Since the purchases/sales are predetermined, this protects the insiders from violating insider trading law.

Transaction was made pursuant to a contract, instruction or written plan for the purchase or sale of equity securities of the issuer that is intended to satisfy the affirmative defense conditions of Rule 10b5-1(c).

Explanation of Responses:

Id Content
F1 On July 9, 2025, the reporting person exercised options to purchase 750,000 shares of the issuer's common stock at an exercise price of $1.90 per share. The reporting person paid the exercise price on a cashless basis, resulting in the issuer withholding 241,116 of the option shares to pay the exercise price and issuing to the reporting person the remaining shares.
F2 Represents shares of common stock acquired upon exercise of 750,000 stock options with an exercise price of $1.90 per share. The number of shares issued was calculated by multiplying the number of options exercised by the preceding day's closing stock price of $5.91 to determine the total stock value, then subtracting the aggregate exercise price, and dividing the result by the same closing price.
F3 Includes shares of restricted common stock subject to forfeiture if certain vesting conditions are not met.
F4 The stock options vested as follows: 300,000 options vested on January 1, 2022, and the remaining options vested based upon certain performance milestones involving the issuer's stock price.
F5 Not applicable.
