Other Events As previously disclosed, in connection with the Company’s Standby Equity Purchase Agreement dated October 24, 2025 (the “SEPA”) with YA II PN, Ltd. (“Yorkville”), pursuant to which the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to issue and sell to Yorkville, from time to time, up to $20.0 million of shares of its common stock (the “SEPA Shares”), Yorkville provided the Company with advance funds of $6.0 million funded in two tranches (each a “Prepaid Advance”), in exchange for its issuance of convertible promissory notes (each, a “Convertible Note” and collectively, the “Convertible Notes”). Each Prepaid Advance is expected to be repaid through the issuance of SEPA Shares at a price per share determined in accordance with the terms of the SEPA, which is generally based on a discount to the prevailing market price of our common stock during a specified pricing period, unless earlier repaid in cash at our option, subject to the terms of the SEPA. Accordingly, the number of SEPA Shares issuable upon settlement of any Prepaid Advance will depend on the market price of our common stock at the time of such settlement and cannot be determined at the time such Prepaid Advance is made or thereafter until settlement. On October 27, 2025, the Company received the first tranche of the Prepaid Advance in the amount of $3,720,000 and issued to Yorkville a Convertible Note in the principal amount of $4.0 million (the “First Convertible Note”), which was issued with an original issue discount of 7.0%. The First Convertible Note is initially convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a fixed conversion price of $1.50 per share. Subsequently, upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions, on December 23, 2025 the Company received the second tranche of the Prepaid Advance in the amount of $1,860,000 and issued to Yorkville a Convertible Note in the principal amount of $2.0 million (the “Second Convertible Note” and, together with the First Convertible Note, the “Convertible Notes”), which was issued with an original issue discount of 7.0% and is initially convertible into shares of our common stock at a fixed conversion price of $1.50 per share. As of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, approximately $1.5 million aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes remains outstanding. The Company has issued and sold approximately 12.5 million SEPA Shares to Yorkville pursuant to the SEPA, including SEPA Shares issued in connection with the settlement of Prepaid Advances and upon conversion of the Convertible Notes, for aggregate net proceeds to the Company of approximately $4.1 million. We may continue to issue SEPA Shares to Yorkville pursuant to the SEPA, including in connection with an
