Restricted Stock Units financial

"the reporting person was granted an initial award of restricted stock units ("RSUs")"

Restricted stock units are a type of company reward where employees are promised shares of stock, but they only fully own these shares after meeting certain conditions, like staying with the company for a set time. They matter because they can become valuable assets and are often used to motivate employees to help the company succeed.

Independent Director Agreement financial

"entered into an Independent Director Agreement, pursuant to which the reporting person was granted"

2025 Incentive Compensation Plan financial

"The RSUs were granted pursuant to Section 3(b) of the Independent Director Agreement, the issuer's 2025 Incentive Compensation Plan"

Non-Employee Director Compensation Program financial

"and Non-Employee Director Compensation Program."

grant-date fair value financial

"was granted an initial award of restricted stock units ("RSUs") having a grant-date fair value of $150,000."

vesting financial

"The RSUs vest in thirty-six (36) equal monthly installments commencing April 27, 2026"

Vesting is the process by which you earn full ownership of something, like company stock or a retirement benefit, over time. It’s like earning the right to keep a gift piece by piece the longer you stay with a company, making sure employees stay committed before they receive all the benefits.

Explanation of Responses:

1. On June 4, 2025, the issuer's predecessor (Z Squared, Inc., a Wyoming corporation) and the reporting person entered into an Independent Director Agreement, pursuant to which the reporting person was granted an initial award of restricted stock units ("RSUs") having a grant-date fair value of $150,000. The RSUs were granted pursuant to Section 3(b) of the Independent Director Agreement, the issuer's 2025 Incentive Compensation Plan, and Non-Employee Director Compensation Program. Each RSU represents a contingent right to receive one share of the issuer's common stock upon vesting and has no expiration date. The number of RSUs reported was determined by dividing $150,000 by the fair market value of the common stock on April 27, 2026 (the grant date), rounded down to the nearest whole share. The RSUs vest in thirty-six (36) equal monthly installments commencing April 27, 2026, subject to the reporting person's continued Board service through each vesting date.
