The stated value and accrued dividends on Series 1C preferred shares is convertible into common stock beginning on 4/18/2025 at a conversion price of $2.50 per common share.

2. The Series 1C preferred stock is perpetual and therefore has no expiration date.

4. On 5/22/2026, the Reporting Person converted 61 shares of Series 1C preferred stock (including accrued dividends thereon) into an aggregate 28,343 shares of common stock.
