Key Facts

The Class A Preferred Stock had an initial stated value of $1,000 per share and accrued cumulative 5.5% annual PIK dividends compounded quarterly.
The Warrant shares initially issuable collectively represented 24.84% of the Company's issued and outstanding Common Stock as of the Initial Closing Date, without giving effect to their issuance.
The offering was made in reliance on the Section 4(a)(2) exemption from registration under the Securities Act; Common Stock issued upon Warrant exercise was to rely on Section 3(a)(9) or Section 4(a)(2), as applicable.

The company entered into the Supplemental Market Capitalization Cash Bonus Award Agreement with Scott Knoll effective September 9, 2026.
The agreement provides a special, one-time, performance-based cash bonus opportunity tied to Scott Knoll’s work supporting strategic opportunities related to a Department of War investment exceeding $250,000,000.
The DOW Director is entitled to advancement of expenses, indemnification, and reimbursement of reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses on terms applicable to other non-executive directors.

Status: On September 14, 2026, the Company entered into and the Board adopted the Restricted Entity Compliance Plan.
The Board declared one preferred share purchase right for each outstanding Common Stock share; the dividend is payable September 24, 2026 to holders of record at the close of business on that date.
Each Right initially permits the holder to purchase one one-thousandth of a share of Class B Junior Participating Preferred Stock for $86.00 per share, subject to adjustment.
The stated rationale was to prevent a Restricted Entity from acquiring beneficial ownership of 10% or more of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock.
Except with respect to Restricted Entities, the Plan does not affect a person’s ability to acquire Common Stock or make offers to acquire, merge, or combine with the Company.
The Investor Rights Agreement provides for appointment of a DOW Director and designation of a DOW Board Observer, pending the DOW Director’s election by stockholders at the next annual meeting.
The DOW Board Observer is not a director and has no voting rights.
The Company must use reasonable best efforts to nominate the DOW Director at the next applicable annual meeting, but the agreement does not require a special stockholder meeting.
