Quorum and Required Votes

Only holders of record of shares of Common Stock and Series B Preferred Stock of the Company at the close of business on October 10, 2025 (the “Record Date”), are entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting or any postponements or adjournments of the meeting. As of the Record Date, PMGC had 744,121 shares of Common Stock outstanding and 6,372,874 shares of Series B Preferred Stock outstanding.

The presence at the meeting of 33 1/3% of the outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote, in person or by proxy relating to any matter to be acted upon at the meeting, is necessary to constitute a quorum for the meeting. Each outstanding share of Common Stock is entitled to one (1) vote. The Series B Preferred Stock votes together with the Common Stock as one class. Each outstanding share of Series B Preferred Stock is entitled to one (1) vote.

Proxies marked “Abstain” and broker “non-votes” will be treated as shares that are present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum. An “abstention” occurs when a stockholder sends in a proxy with explicit instructions to decline to vote regarding a particular matter. A broker non-vote occurs when a broker or other nominee who holds shares for another person does not vote on a particular proposal because that holder does not have the discretionary voting power for the proposal and has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner of the shares; as a result, the broker or other nominee is unable to vote those uninstructed shares. Abstentions and broker non-votes, while included for quorum purposes, will not be counted as votes “cast” for or “against” any proposal other than proposal 2, of which abstentions will have the effect of an “against” vote.

The following table summarizes the votes required for passage of each proposal and the effect of abstentions and uninstructed shares held by brokers. Please note that brokers may not vote your shares on the election of directors or any non-routine matters if you have not given your broker specific instructions as to how to vote. Please be sure to give specific voting instructions to your broker so that your vote can be counted.

Proposal Number		Description		Votes Required for Approval		Abstentions		Uninstructed Shares
1		Election of Five Nominees to the Board of Directors: Braeden Lichti, Graydon Bensler, George Kovalyov, Juliana Daley, and Jeffrey Parry		Majority of votes cast		Not voted		Not voted
2		Ratification of HTL International, LLC as Auditor and Remuneration to Auditor		Majority of votes cast		Against		Not voted
3		Adjournment of Annual Meeting		Majority of votes cast		Broker Discretionary Vote		Broker Discretionary Vote

Recommendation of Board of Directors

Unless you instruct otherwise on your proxy card, the persons named as proxy holders on the proxy card will vote in accordance with the recommendations of the Board. Specifically, the Board’s recommendations are as follows:

● FOR the election of the following five (5) director nominees, Braeden Lichti, Graydon Bensler, George Kovalyov, Juliana Daley, and Jeffrey Parry as Directors, each individual to serve our Company for the ensuing year or until his or her successor is elected;

● FOR the ratification of the appointment of HTL as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending on December 31, 2025, and to allow the Board of Directors to set the remuneration for HTL; and

● FOR the approval of the adjournment of the Annual Meeting, if necessary, to solicit additional votes if there are insufficient votes at the time of the Annual Meeting to approve one or more of the proposals.

3

The proxy holders will vote as recommended by the Board with respect to any other matter that properly comes before the Annual Meeting, including any postponements or adjournments thereof. If the Board on any such matter gives no recommendation, the proxy holders will vote in their own discretion.

Revocation of Proxies

After you have submitted your proxy, you may change your vote at any time before the proxy is exercised by filing with the acting Secretary of PMGC either a notice of revocation or a duly executed proxy bearing a later date. The powers of the proxy holders will be suspended if you attend the Annual Meeting in person and request to recast your vote. Attendance at the Annual Meeting will not, by itself, revoke a previously granted proxy.

Householding

The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries, such as brokers, to satisfy the delivery requirements for proxy statements with respect to two or more security holders sharing the same address by delivering a single copy of a notice and, if applicable, a proxy statement, to those security holders.

A single copy of the Notice, this Proxy Statement and proxy card will be delivered to multiple stockholders sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received from these stockholders. Once you have received notice from your broker, or from us, that they will be “householding” communications to your address, “householding” will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent. If, at any time, you no longer wish to participate in “householding” and would prefer to receive a separate Notice and Proxy Statement, please notify your broker and also notify us by sending your written request to: PMGC Holdings Inc., 120 Newport Center Drive, Suite 249, Newport Beach, CA 92660, Attention: Corporate Secretary, or by calling (888) 445-4886.

A stockholder who currently receives multiple copies of the Notice or Proxy Statement at his, her or its address and would like to request “householding” should also contact its broker and notify us using the contact information above.

Voting Procedures and Tabulation of Votes

Our inspector of election, a representative from Broadridge, will tabulate votes cast by proxy, in person or otherwise at the Annual Meeting. We will also report the results in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC within four (4) business days of the Annual Meeting.

Questions

If you have any questions about the Annual Meeting, the various proposals to be voted on at the Annual Meeting and/or how to participate in the Annual Meeting online at [*] and vote at that time and/or would like copies of any of the documents referred to in this Proxy Statement, contact Investor Relations at (888) 445-4886.

PROPOSAL 1

ELECTION OF FIVE NOMINEES TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

At the Annual Meeting, you will be asked to elect five (5) directors to the Board. The following current directors have been nominated for re-election at the Annual Meeting: Braeden Lichti, Graydon Bensler, George Kovalyov, Juliana Daley, and Jeffrey Parry. Each of the nominees recommended by the Board has consented to serving as nominees for election to the Board, to being named in this Proxy Statement, and to serving as members of the Board if re-elected at the Annual Meeting. As of the date of this Proxy Statement, the Company has no reason to believe that any of the Board’s nominees will be unable or unwilling to serve if elected as a director. However, if for any reason any of the Board’s nominees become unable to serve or for good cause will not serve if elected, the Board, upon the recommendation of its Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, may designate substitute nominees, in which event the shares represented by proxies returned to us will be voted for such substitute nominee. If any substitute nominees are so designated, the Company will file an amended proxy statement that, as applicable, identifies the substitute nominees, discloses that such nominees have consented to being named in the amended proxy statement and to serve as directors if elected, and includes certain biographical and other information about such nominees required by the applicable rules promulgated by the SEC.

In reviewing and considering potential nominees for the Board, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee evaluated multiple factors in assessing the nominees’ qualifications. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee evaluated whether a candidate had extensive and relevant leadership experience, including an understanding of the complex challenges of enterprise leadership. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also evaluated whether an appropriate candidate has appropriate experience and education in some or all of the key areas stated in the subsection “Consideration of Director Nominees.”

For your review and consideration, a biography of each nominee for director is contained in this Proxy Statement under the following section titled “Board of Directors and Corporate Governance.” Each director nominee set forth in this Proxy Statement and elected at the Annual Meeting will serve until the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and until such individual’s successor is duly elected and qualified.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

The Board is currently comprised of five (5) members, five (5) non-employee, non-executive directors (Mr. Lichti, Mr. Parry, Ms. Daley, and Mr. Kovalyov) and Mr. Bensler, including one (1) non-employee director providing Chief Executive Officer services through GB Capital Ltd, a British Columbia, Canada corporation wholly owned by Mr. Bensler. At each annual meeting of stockholders, each director is elected to serve until the next annual meeting of stockholders and until such director’s successor is duly elected and qualified, or until his or her death, resignation or removal.

The Board has unanimously determined that Mr. Parry, Ms. Daley, and Mr. Kovalyov are “independent” directors, as such term is defined in the rules (the “Stock Market Rules”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”).

The definition of “independent director” included in the Stock Market Rules includes a series of objective tests, such as that the director is not an employee of the Company, has not engaged in various types of specified business dealings with the Company, and does not have an affiliation with an organization that has had specified business dealings with the Company. Consistent with the Company’s corporate governance principles, the Board’s determination of independence is made in accordance with the Stock Market Rules, as the Board has not adopted supplemental independence standards. As required by the Stock Market Rules, the Board also has made a subjective determination with respect to each director that such director has no material relationship with the Company (either directly or as a partner, stockholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with the Company), even if the director otherwise satisfies the objective independence tests included in the definition of an “independent director” included in the Stock Market Rules.

To facilitate this determination, annually each director completes a questionnaire that provides information about relationships that might affect the determination of independence. Management provides the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board (“Nominating Committee”) and the Board with relevant facts and circumstances of any relationship bearing on the independence of a director or nominee that is outside the categories permitted under the director independence guidelines.

The following table sets forth the names, ages as of the date of this proxy statement for each current member of the Board. Full biographical information for each member is set forth below.

Family Relationships

There are no family relationships among our executive officers and directors.

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

None of our directors or executive officers has been involved in any legal proceeding in the past ten (10) years that would require disclosure under Item 401(f) of Regulation S-K.

Board Leadership Structure and Risk Oversight

Our Board has responsibility for the oversight of our risk management processes and, either as a whole or through its committees, regularly discusses with management our major risk exposures, their potential impact on our business and the steps we take to manage them. The risk oversight process includes receiving regular reports from Board committees and members of senior management to enable our Board to understand our risk identification, risk management and risk mitigation strategies with respect to areas of potential material risk, including operations, finance, legal, regulatory, cybersecurity, strategic and reputational risk.

Director Independence

Our Board is composed of a majority of “independent directors” as defined under the rules of Nasdaq. We use the definition of “independence” applied by Nasdaq to make this determination. Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(a)(2) provides that an “independent director” is a person other than an officer or employee of the company or any other individual having a relationship which, in the opinion of the Board, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. The Stock Market Rules provide that a director cannot be considered independent if:

● the director is, or at any time during the past three (3) years was, an employee of the company;

● the director or a family member of the director accepted any compensation from the company in excess of $120,000 during any period of twelve (12) consecutive months within the three (3) years preceding the independence determination (subject to certain exemptions, including, among other things, compensation for board or board committee service);

● the director or a family member of the director is a partner in, controlling stockholder of, or an executive officer of an entity to which the company made, or from which the company received, payments in the current or any of the past three fiscal years that exceed 5% of the recipient’s consolidated gross revenue for that year or $200,000, whichever is greater (subject to certain exemptions);

● the director or a family member of the director is employed as an executive officer of an entity where, at any time during the past three (3) years, any of the executive officers of the company served on the Compensation Committee of such other entity; or

● the director or a family member of the director is a current partner of the company’s outside auditor, or at any time during the past three (3) years was a partner or employee of the company’s outside auditor, and who worked on the company’s audit.

Under such definitions, our Board has undertaken a review of the independence of each director. Based on information provided by each director concerning his background, employment and affiliations, our Board has determined that Jeffrey Parry, George Kovalyov and Juliana Daley are independent directors of the Company.

Board Meetings

The Board held six (6) meetings during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.

Board Committees

We have established three committees of the Board: an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee, and a Nominating Committee. We have adopted a charter for each of the three committees. Copies of our committee charters are posted on our website at https://pmgcholdings.com/investors/governance.

Each committee’s members and functions are described below.

Audit Committee. Our Audit Committee consists of Jeffrey Parry, George Kovalyov and Juliana Daley. Ms. Daley is the Chairman of our Audit Committee. We have determined that these directors satisfy the “independence” requirements of Nasdaq Rule 5605 and Rule 10A-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Our Board has determined that Ms. Daley qualifies as an audit committee financial expert and has the accounting or financial management expertise as required under Item 407(d)(5)(ii) and (iii) of Regulation S-K. The Audit Committee will oversee our accounting and financial reporting processes and the audits of the financial statements of our company. The Audit Committee is responsible for, among other things:

● appointing the independent auditors and pre-approving all auditing and non-auditing services permitted to be performed by the independent auditors;

● reviewing with the independent auditors any audit problems or difficulties and management’s response;

● discussing the annual audited financial statements with management and the independent auditors;

9

● reviewing the adequacy and effectiveness of our accounting and internal control policies and procedures and any steps taken to monitor and control major financial risk exposures;

● reviewing and approving all proposed related party transactions;

● monitoring management’s communication and implementation of the Company’s anti-fraud policy;

● reviewing the Company’s cybersecurity mitigation measures and practices periodically;

● meeting separately and periodically with management and the independent auditors; and

● monitoring compliance with our code of business conduct and ethics, including reviewing the adequacy and effectiveness of our procedures to ensure proper compliance.

Compensation Committee. Our Compensation Committee consists of Jeffrey Parry, George Kovalyov and Juliana Daley. Mr. Kovalyov is the Chairman of our Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee assists the board in reviewing and approving the compensation structure, including all forms of compensation, relating to our directors and executive officers. Our Chief Executive Officer may not be present at any committee meeting during which his compensation is deliberated. The Compensation Committee is responsible for, among other things:

● reviewing and approving, or recommending to the board for its approval, the compensation for our chief executive officer and other executive officers;

● reviewing and recommending to the stockholders for determination with respect to the compensation of our directors;

● reviewing periodically and approving any incentive compensation or equity plans, programs or similar arrangements; and

● selecting compensation consultant, legal counsel or other adviser only after taking into consideration all factors relevant to that person’s independence from management.

Nomination Committee. Our Nomination Committee consists of Jeffrey Parry, George Kovalyov and Juliana Daley. Mr. Parry is the Chairman of our Nomination Committee. The Nomination Committee assists our Board in selecting individuals qualified to become our directors and in determining the composition of our and its committees. The Nomination Committee is responsible for, among other things:

● selecting and recommending to the board nominees for election by the stockholders or appointment by the board;

● reviewing annually with the board the current composition of our Board with regards to characteristics such as independence, knowledge, skills, experience and diversity;

● making recommendations on the frequency and structure of Board meetings and monitoring the functioning of the committees of our Board; and

● advising our Board periodically with regards to significant developments in the law and practice of corporate governance as well as our compliance with applicable laws and regulations, and making recommendations to our Board on all matters of corporate governance and on any remedial action to be taken.

The Chair and members of each committee of the Board are summarized in the table below:

Consideration of Director Nominees

We seek directors with the highest standards of ethics and integrity, sound business judgment, and the willingness to make a strong commitment to the Company and its success. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee works with the Board on an annual basis to determine the appropriate and desirable mix of characteristics, skills, expertise, and experience for the full Board and each committee, taking into account both existing directors and all nominees for election as directors, as well as any diversity considerations and the membership criteria applied by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Board, which do not have a formal diversity policy, consider diversity in a broad sense when evaluating board composition and nominations; and they seek to include directors with a diversity of experience, professions, viewpoints, skills, and backgrounds that will enable them to make significant contributions to the Board and the Company, both as individuals and as part of a group of directors. The Board evaluates each individual in the context of the full Board, with the objective of recommending a group that can best contribute to the success of the business and represent stockholder interests through the exercise of sound judgment. In determining whether to recommend a director for re-election, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also considers the director’s attendance at meetings and participation in and contributions to the activities of the Board and its committees.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider director candidates recommended by stockholders, and its process for considering such recommendations is no different than its process for screening and evaluating candidates suggested by directors, management of the Company, or third parties.

When considering director candidates, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will evaluate multiple factors in assessing their qualifications. A candidate must have extensive and relevant leadership experience, including an understanding of the complex challenges of enterprise leadership. An appropriate candidate will have gained appropriate experience and education in some or all of the key areas below.

● Relevant Sector Experience. Director candidates will have gained their leadership experience in sectors directly relevant to the Company’s business and/or served as an executive officer, or other major operating or staff officer of a public corporation, with a background in accounting, finance and/or business operations.

● Corporate Governance Experience. Director candidates should have sufficient applicable experience to understand fully the legal and other responsibilities of an independent director of a U.S.-based public company.

● Education. Generally, it is desirable, but not mandatory, that a Board candidate should hold an undergraduate degree from a respected college or university and in relevant fields of study.

When further considering director candidates, personal attributes and characteristics will be considered. Specifically, these should include the following:

● Personal. Director candidates should be of the highest moral and ethical character. Candidates must exhibit independence, objectivity and be capable of serving as representatives of the stockholders. The candidates should have demonstrated a personal commitment to areas aligned with the Company’s public interest commitments, such as education, the environment and welfare of the communities in which we operate.

● Individual Characteristics. Director candidates should have the personal qualities to be able to make a substantial active contribution to Board deliberations. These qualities include intelligence, self-assuredness, a high ethical standard, inter-personal skills, independence, courage, a willingness to ask the difficult question, communication skills and commitment. In considering candidates for election to the Board, the Board should constantly be striving to achieve the diversity of the communities in which the Company operates.

● Availability. Director candidates must be willing to commit, as well as have, sufficient time available to discharge the duties of Board membership. Generally, therefore, the candidate should not have more than three other corporate board memberships.

● Compatibility. The Board candidate should be able to develop a good working relationship with other Board members and contribute to the Board’s working relationship with the senior management of the Company.

11

Board Diversity

Each year, our Nominating Committee will review, with the Board, the appropriate characteristics, skills and experience required for the Board as a whole and its individual members. In evaluating the suitability of individual candidates, our Nominating Committee will consider factors, including, without limitation, an individual’s character, integrity, judgment, potential conflicts of interest, other commitments and diversity. While we do not have any formal policy regarding board diversity for our Board as a whole or for each individual member of the Board, the Nominating Committee does consider such factors as gender, race, ethnicity, experience and area of expertise, as well as other individual attributes that contribute to the total diversity of viewpoints and experience represented on the Board.

Information Regarding Stockholder Communication with the Board of Directors; Attendance of Board Members at the Annual Meeting

Stockholders may contact an individual director, the Board as a group, or a specified Board committee or group, at the following address: Corporate Secretary, PMGC Holdings Inc., 120 Newport Center Drive, Suite 249, Newport Beach, CA 92660, Attn: Board of Directors. Our acting Secretary will process communications before forwarding them to the addressee. Directors generally will not be forwarded stockholder communications that are primarily commercial in nature, relate to improper or irrelevant topics, or request general information about the Company.

We do not require Board members to attend any Annual Meeting of the Stockholders.

Statement on Corporate Governance

We regularly monitor developments in the area of corporate governance by reviewing federal laws affecting corporate governance, as well as rules adopted by the SEC and Nasdaq. In response to those developments, we review our processes and procedures and implement corporate governance practices which we believe are in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

The Board has adopted a written code of business conduct and ethics (“Code of Ethics”) applicable to each employee, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. The Code of Ethics also applies to our agents and representatives, sales representatives and consultants. The Code of Ethics is posted on our website at www.pmgcholdings.com/investors/governance. If we make certain amendments to or waivers of our Code of Ethics, we intend to satisfy the SEC disclosure requirements by promptly posting the amendment or waiver on our website.

Hedging Policy

The Company’s insider trading policy prohibits the Company’s directors and executive officers, as well as any other employee of the Company who possesses material, non-public information about the Company, from engaging in hedging transactions. The policy does not specifically define hedging transactions, but they are intended to include the purchase of financial instruments (including prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars and exchange funds), or other transactions that are intended to hedge or offset any decrease in the market value of Company securities held by the individual.

Policies and Procedures for Approval of Related Party Transactions

We may encounter business arrangements or transactions with businesses and other organizations in which one of our directors or executive officers, significant stockholders or their immediate families is a participant and the amount exceeds $120,000. We refer to these transactions as related party transactions. Related party transactions have the potential to create actual or perceived conflicts of interest between PMGC and its directors, officers and significant stockholders or their immediate family members. Our Audit Committee is charged with the responsibility to review, approve and oversee related party transactions.

DELINQUENT SECTION 16(A) REPORTS

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company’s directors, executive officers and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of a class of the Company’s registered equity securities to file with the SEC and deliver to the Company initial reports of ownership, and reports of changes in ownership, of such securities. Based solely on our review of Section 16(a) reports, and written representations that our directors and executive officers have furnished to us, we believe that all reporting persons complied with all Section 16(a) filing requirements during our fiscal year 2021 other than the Form 3 for George Kovalyov.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

The Audit Committee: The members of the Audit Committee (for purposes of this report, the “Committee”) are Ms. Juliana Daley, who serves as Chairman, and Messrs. Jeffrey Parry and George Kovalyov. The Board has determined that all of the members of the Committee are independent within the meaning of applicable SEC regulations and the listing standards of the Nasdaq and that Ms. Daley, the Chair of the Committee, is qualified as an audit committee financial expert within the meaning of SEC regulations. The Board has also determined that Ms. Daley has accounting and related financial management expertise within the meaning of the listing standards of the Nasdaq and that each member of the Committee is financially literate within the meaning of the Nasdaq listing standards.

Audit Committee Charter: The Audit Committee operates under a written charter adopted by the Board. The charter is reviewed by management at least annually, and any recommended changes are presented to the Committee for review and approval. The charter is available on our website at: https://pmgcholdings.com/investors/governance.

Audit Committee Responsibilities: The Committee assists the Board in fulfilling its responsibilities for general oversight of the integrity of the Company’s financial statements, the adequacy of the Company’s system of internal controls and procedures and disclosure controls and procedures, the Company’s risk management, the Company’s compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, the independent auditors’ qualifications and independence and the performance of the Company’s internal audit function and independent auditors. The Committee has the authority to obtain advice and assistance from outside legal, accounting or other advisors as the Committee deems necessary to carry out its duties and receive appropriate funding, as determined by the Committee, from the Company for such advice and assistance.

The Committee has sole authority over the selection of the Company’s independent auditors and manages the Company’s relationship with its independent auditors (who report directly to the Committee). Each year, the Committee evaluates the performance, qualifications and independence of the independent auditors. The Committee is also involved in the selection of the lead audit partner. In evaluating the Company’s independent auditors, the Committee considers the quality of the services provided, as well as the independent auditors’ and lead partner’s capabilities and technical expertise and knowledge of the Company’s operations and industry.

The Committee met four (4) times during the fiscal year ended 2024. The Committee schedules its meetings with a view to ensuring that it devotes appropriate attention to all of its tasks. The Committee’s meetings generally include private sessions with the Company’s independent auditors and with the Company’s internal auditors, in each case without the presence of the Company’s management, as well as executive sessions consisting of only Committee members. In addition to the scheduled meetings, senior management confers with the Committee or its Chair from time to time, as senior management deems advisable or appropriate, in connection with issues or concerns that arise throughout the year.

13

Management is responsible for the Company’s financial reporting process, including its system of internal control over financial reporting, and for the preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The Company’s independent auditors are responsible for auditing those financial statements in accordance with professional standards and expressing an opinion as to their material conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and for auditing the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. The Committee’s responsibility is to monitor and review the Company’s financial reporting process and discuss management’s report on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. It is not the Committee’s duty or responsibility to conduct audits or accounting reviews or procedures. The Committee has relied, without independent verification, on management’s representations that the financial statements have been prepared with integrity and objectivity and in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. and that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is effective. The Committee has also relied, without independent verification, on the opinion of the independent auditors included in their report regarding the Company’s financial statements and effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting.

Oversight Matters: As part of its oversight of the Company’s financial statements, the Committee reviews and discusses with both management and the Company’s independent auditors all annual and quarterly financial statements prior to their issuance. With respect to each 2024 fiscal reporting period, management advised the Committee that each set of financial statements reviewed had been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S., and reviewed significant accounting and disclosure issues with the Committee. These reviews included discussions with the independent auditors of matters required to be discussed pursuant to Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) Auditing Standard No. 1301 (Communication with Audit Committees), including the quality (not merely the acceptability) of the Company’s accounting principles, the reasonableness of significant judgments, the clarity of disclosures in the financial statements and disclosures related to critical accounting practices. The Committee has also discussed with HTL International, LLC matters relating to their respective independence, including a review of audit and non-audit fees and the written disclosures and letter received from HTL International, LLC required by applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding their respective communications with the Committee concerning independence. The Committee also considered whether non-audit services provided by the independent auditors are compatible with the independent auditors’ independence. The Committee also received regular updates, and written summaries as required by the PCAOB rules (for tax and other services), on the amount of fees and scope of audit, audit-related, tax and other services provided.

In addition, the Committee reviewed key initiatives and programs aimed at strengthening the effectiveness of the Company’s internal and disclosure control structure. As part of this process, the Committee continued to monitor the scope and adequacy of the Company’s internal auditing program, reviewing staffing levels and steps taken to implement recommended improvements in internal procedures and controls. The Committee also reviews and discusses legal and compliance matters with management, and, as necessary or advisable, the Company’s independent auditors.

Audit Committee Recommendation: Based on the Committee’s discussions with management and the independent auditors and the Committee’s review of the representations of management and the report of the independent auditors to the Board and shareholders, and subject to the limitations on the Committee’s role and responsibilities referred to above and in the Audit Committee Charter, the Committee recommended to the Board that it include the audited consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 for filing with the SEC.

PROPOSAL 2

RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 2025, AND TO ALLOW THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS TO SET THE REMUNERATION FOR HTL

The Audit Committee of the Board has engaged HTL International, LLC as our independent auditor to audit our financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2025. HTL International, LLC’s PCAOB firm ID is 7000. A representative of HTL International, LLC may be present at the Annual Meeting and a representative of HTL International, LLC will have an opportunity to make a statement if he or she so desires or answer any shareholder questions.

Although it is not required to do so, our Board is submitting the Audit Committee’s appointment of our independent registered public accounting firm for ratification by our stockholders at the Annual Meeting in order to ascertain the view of the stockholders regarding such appointment.

In the event stockholders fail to ratify the appointment, our Audit Committee will reconsider whether to retain our independent registered public accounting firm at its next scheduled meeting. Even if the appointment is ratified, the Audit Committee, in its discretion, may direct the appointment of a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if it determines that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company.

Required Vote

Ratification of the appointment of HTL International, LLC as the independent auditor of the Company for the Fiscal Year ending December 31, 2025 requires the affirmative vote of the majority of the voting power present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote pursuant to Section 422 of the Code and the rules of Nasdaq. Broker non-votes will not be counted in evaluating the results of the vote.

Voting Recommendation

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THIS PROPOSAL NO. 2, RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 2025, AND TO ALLOW THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS TO SET THE REMUNERATION FOR HTL.

CHANGES IN REGISTRANT’S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT

On December 17, 2024, the Company dismissed TPS Thayer, LLC (“TPS”) as its independent registered public accounting firm and engaged HTL as TPS’s replacement, reflecting the Company’s efforts to strengthen its financial oversight. HTL International and TPS Thayer had entered into a strategic collaboration in November 2024, in which TPS Thayer’s audit partners and team members transitioned to HTL.

The reports of TPS regarding the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles, except each report did contain an explanatory paragraph related to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

During the relevant period, there were no reportable events of the type described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

The Company provided TPS with a copy of its current report on Form 8-K describing TPS’s dismissal (the “Change in Auditor 8-K”) prior to its filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and requested TPS furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether or not TPS agrees with the statements set forth in the Change in Auditor 8-K. A copy of the letter from TPS dated December 23, 2024 has been filed with the Change in Auditor 8-K as Exhibit 16.1.

PROPOSAL 3

APPROVAL OF THE ADJOURNMENT OF THE ANNUAL MEETING, IF NECESSARY, TO SOLICIT ADDITIONAL PROXIES IN THE EVENT THERE ARE NOT SUFFICIENT VOTES IN FAVOR OF PROPOSALS 1 AND 2 AT THE TIME OF THE ANNUAL MEETING

Proposal 3 is to consider and vote upon the proposal to approve adjourning the Annual Meeting, if necessary or appropriate in the discretion of the Board, to solicit additional proxies in the event that there are not sufficient votes at the time of the Annual Meeting to approve any applicable proposals.

General

The Annual Meeting may be adjourned to another time or place, if necessary or appropriate in the discretion of the Board, to permit further solicitation of proxies to obtain additional votes in favor of any applicable proposals (the “Adjournment”).

If, at the Annual Meeting, the number of shares of voting capital stock present or represented and voting in favor of any of the applicable proposals is insufficient to approve such proposal, the Company intends to move for the Adjournment in order to enable our Board to solicit additional proxies for approval of such proposal. We are asking our stockholders to approve this Proposal 3 for the Adjournment if necessary or appropriate in the discretion of the Board.

Vote Required

The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast is required for approval of the Adjournment. This proposal is considered a routine matter, and therefore, brokers may vote uninstructed shares in their discretion. For the purpose of the vote on this proposal, abstentions, broker non-votes, and other shares not voted will not be counted as votes cast and will have no effect on the result of the vote, although they will be considered present for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum.

Voting Recommendation

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” PROPOSAL NO. 3, ADJOURNMENT OF THE ANNUAL MEETING, IF NECESSARY, TO SOLICIT ADDITIONAL PROXIES IN THE EVENT THERE ARE NOT SUFFICIENT VOTES IN FAVOR OF ANY APPLICABLE PROPOSALS AT THE TIME OF THE ANNUAL MEETING, AND PROXIES SOLICITED BY THE BOARD WILL BE VOTED IN FAVOR THEREOF UNLESS A STOCKHOLDER HAS INDICATED OTHERWISE ON THE PROXY.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Executive Compensation Objectives

The objective of our compensation program is to provide a total compensation package to each named executive officer (“NEO”) that will enable us to attract, motivate and retain outstanding individuals, align the interests of our executive team with those of our equity holders, encourage individual and collective contributions to the successful execution of our short- and long-term business strategies and reward NEOs for performance.

Elements of Executive Compensation

Our compensation for NEOs generally consists of a consultant fee and equity.

Equity Incentive Awards

Policies and Practices for Granting Certain Equity Awards

Our policies and practices regarding the granting of equity awards are carefully designed to ensure compliance with applicable securities laws and to maintain the integrity of our executive compensation program. The Compensation Committee is responsible for the timing and terms of equity awards to executives and other eligible employees.

The timing of equity award grants is determined with consideration to a variety of factors, including but not limited to, the achievement of pre-established performance targets, market conditions and internal milestones. The Company does not follow a predetermined schedule for the granting of equity awards; instead, each grant is considered on a case-by-case basis to align with the Company’s strategic objectives and to ensure the competitiveness of our compensation packages.

In determining the timing and terms of an equity award, the Board or the Compensation Committee may consider material nonpublic information to ensure that such grants are made in compliance with applicable laws and regulations. The Board’s or the Compensation Committee’s procedures to prevent the improper use of material nonpublic information in connection with the granting of equity awards include oversight by legal counsel and, where appropriate, delaying the grant of equity awards until the public disclosure of such material nonpublic information.

17

The Company is committed to maintaining transparency in its executive compensation practices and to making equity awards in a manner that is not influenced by the timing of the disclosure of material nonpublic information for the purpose of affecting the value of executive compensation. The Company regularly reviews its policies and practices related to equity awards to ensure they meet the evolving standards of corporate governance and continue to serve the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

Equity Compensation Plan Information

The table below sets forth information concerning securities granted under equity compensation plans approved and not approved by security holders of the Company and the weighted average exercise price for such securities as of June 30, 2025.

On October 25, 2024, the Company entered into the Second Amended and Restated Consulting Agreement for Non-Employee Chief Executive Officer (the “Second Amended GB Capital Consulting Agreement”) with GB Capital Ltd, a British Colombia, Canada corporation (“GB Capital”), an entity controlled by Mr. Bensler. The Second Amended GB Capital Consulting Agreement amended and restated the terms of that certain Amended and Restated Consulting Agreement between the Company and GB Capital for Non-Employee Chief Executive Officer dated June 1, 2020 (the “Original Bensler Consulting Agreement”). The Original Bensler Consulting Agreement was amended and restated again on June 21, 2024 pursuant to that certain Amended and Restated Consulting Agreement for Non-Employee Chief Executive Officer between the Company and GB Capital. Under the Second Amended GB Capital Consulting Agreement, GB Capital agreed to designate Mr. Graydon Bensler, Director of GB Capital, to perform the Services (as defined in the Second Amended GB Capital Consulting Agreement).

Pursuant to the terms of the Second Amended GB Capital Consulting Agreement, as consideration for Mr. Bensler’s services as non-employee Chief Executive Officer of the Company, the Company would pay GB Capital a consultant fee of $250,000 per annum and certain bonuses. Upon execution of the Second Amended GB Capital Consulting Agreement, the Company would make the following payments to GB Capital (such payments, the Bensler Sign-on Bonuses”): (i) a one-time bonus of $175,000, with (A) $100,000 of such bonus to be paid to GB Capital in cash and (B) $75,000 of such bonus to be remitted to GB Capital in Series B Preferred Stock, with the cash equivalent of such shares of Series B Preferred Stock to be determined by mutual agreement of the Company and GB Capital, and provided such issuance of Series B Preferred Stock was approved by the Company’s stockholders. In the Board’s sole discretion, it may also award GB Capital a bonus at the end of the applicable fiscal year in the amounts it determines in its sole discretion (each of such bonuses, the “Bensler Annual Bonus”), provided that GB Capital meets the Board’s performance objectives for GB Capital and GB Capital is engaged by the Company for such fiscal year in full. The target of the Annual Bonus is 125% or greater of the Bensler Annual Consultant Fee. For the avoidance of doubt, the first fiscal year for which the Company will consider whether GB Capital qualifies for the Bensler Annual Bonus is the fiscal year in which the Effective Date falls. Pursuant to the Second Amended GB Capital Consulting Agreement, the Company shall also pay GB Capital in the first fiscal quarter of 2026 a bonus in the amount of $60,000 if the Company has a positive adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (“EBITDA”) in 2025. Subject to the terms of the Second Amended GB Capital Consulting Agreement, GB Capital is also entitled to each of the following bonus payments (collectively, the “Bensler Milestone Bonuses”). Such Bensler Milestone Bonuses are payable upon the occurrence of the following events, at which time the Company shall remit the applicable Milestone Bonuses to GB Capital as follows:

(i) the Company shall pay GB Capital $50,000 for each Company acquisition consummated, provided the target company of such acquisition has $2,000,000 in annual revenue or more upon consummation of such acquisition;

(ii) the Company shall pay GB Capital $50,000 upon any closing of an equity or equity-linked financing of the Company which results in net proceeds being raised in such financing of $3,000,000 in a fiscal quarter (the closing which qualifies GB Capital for such payment, the “GB Triggering Equity Financing,” and such payment, the “GB Equity Financing Bonus”). For the avoidance of doubt, GB Capital is entitled only to a one-time payment of the GB Equity Financing Bonus $50,000 per fiscal quarter and the Company will not make further payments as an Equity Financing Bonus in spite of the occurrence of any of the following events: (A) the closing of any equity or equity-linked financings subsequent to the GB Triggering Equity Financing in such fiscal quarter which result in proceeds of $3,000,000 to the Company; (B) any closings for the same equity financing round subsequent to the GB Triggering Equity Financing in such fiscal quarter which result in additional proceeds of $3,000,000 or more to the Company);

(iii) if and when the Company achieves each of the targeted EBITDA amounts in one fiscal quarter, as set forth in this Section 1(e)(iii) (each of such amounts, “EBITDA Milestone”), the Company shall pay GB Capital a fee equal to 25% of the applicable EBITDA Milestone (such fee, the “EBITDA Milestone Bonus”: (A) $50,000; (B) $150,000; (C) $250,000; (D) $350,000. For the avoidance of doubt, GB Capital may only receive a one-time payment of the EBITDA Milestone Bonus in each fiscal quarter, upon the Company’s achievement of the applicable EBITDA Milestone, and the Company will not make further payments to GB Capital as the EBITDA Milestone Bonus even upon achievement of an EBITDA Milestone in the same fiscal quarter which value exceeds the value of the first EBITDA Milestone GB Capital has achieved in such fiscal quarter; and

(iv) the Company shall pay GB Capital $300,000 each time the Company achieves a Market Valuation (as defined in the Second Amended GB Capital Consulting Agreement) of $50,000,000 and $100,000,000, provided that each of such Market Valuations continues for each at least 5 consecutive Trading Days (as defined in the Second Amended GB Capital Consulting Agreement).

Additionally, GB Capital may elect to accrue the Bensler Milestone Bonuses and convert the cash amount of the Bensler Milestone Bonus into shares of the Company’s Common Stock or preferred stock. In such event, the conversion ratio of the Bensler Milestone Bonus shall be determined by mutual agreement between the Company and GB Capital.

The foregoing summary of the Second Amended GB Capital Consulting Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to and is qualified in its entirety by a copy of the Second Amended GB Capital Consulting filed as Exhibit 10.1 in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on October 31, 2024 and is incorporated herein by reference.

On October 25, 2024, the Company entered into the Amendment to the Second Amended GB Capital Consulting Agreement which stipulated that the Company’s issuances of Series B Preferred Stock to GB Capital as the Bensler Sign-on Bonuses, were subject to stockholder approval.

For the avoidance of doubt, GB Capital is entitled only to a one-time payment of the Equity Financing Bonus $50,000 per fiscal quarter and the Company will not make further payments as an Equity Financing Bonus in spite of the occurrence of any of the following events: (A) the closing of any equity or equity-linked financings subsequent to the Triggering Equity Financing in such fiscal quarter which result in proceeds of $3,000,000 to the Company; (B) any closings for the same equity financing round subsequent to the Triggering Equity Financing in such fiscal quarter which result in additional proceeds of $3,000,000 or more to the Company.

The amount of the Acquisition Award will be calculated based on the total purchase price of the consummated acquisition, regardless of whether or not such purchase price is paid in cash, stock, assumed debt, or other consideration (such purchase price, the “Acquisition Value”), and will be determined as follows:

● Acquisition Value from $0 to $5,000,000 – GB Capital is entitled to an Acquisition Award of 5% of the Acquisition Value;

● Acquisition Value over $5,000,000 to $10,000,000 – GB Capital is entitled to an Acquisition Award of 6% of the Acquisition Value;

● Acquisition Value over $10,000,000 to $20,000,000 – GB Capital is entitled to an Acquisition Award of 7% of the Acquisition Value; and

In addition to the determinations of Acquisition Value set forth above, the Compensation Committee may, in its sole discretion, determine to award GB Capital an additional 1% of the applicable percentage of the Acquisition Value if: (i) the Board and/or Compensation Committee projects the applicable acquisition to be earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) or net income accretive within twelve (12) months of closing or (b) the Compensation Committee deems the applicable acquisition as an advancement to the Company’s long-term growth objectives, competitive positioning, and/or operational capabilities.

If GB Capital elects to receive its Acquisition Award in the form of RSUs or restricted stock, the number of RSUs (“RSU Award Amount”) or restricted stock granted shall equal (x) the dollar value of the Acquisition Award divided by (y) the trailing five (5) day volume-weighted average price (VWAP) of the Company’s Common Stock ending on the trading day prior to the acquisition closing date (such RSU Award Amount rounded down to the nearest whole share). The RSUs or restricted stock granted to GB Capital will be fully vested and shall not be subject to any further service or performance conditions.

Acquisition Awards may, at the Board’s discretion and in compliance with applicable law, be issued directly to GB Capital or any other designated entity of GB Capital. All such Acquisition Awards shall be subject to applicable securities laws and the terms of the Company’s then-effective equity incentive plan or other applicable grant policy.

“Subsidiary” means, with respect to any Person, any corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture or other legal entity of which such Person (either above or through or together with any other Subsidiary) owns, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the stock or other equity interests the holders of which are generally entitled to vote for the election of the board of directors or other governing body of such entity.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

As of the date of this Proxy Statement, the Company pays each of its independent directors $55,500 in compensation for each director’s services to the Company as independent directors. The Company’s current independent directors are paid this annual compensation on a quarterly basis, or $13,875 at each fiscal quarter’s end.

We previously compensated our independent directors for their services as directors through a mix of cash and stock options. In addition to in-person attendance bonuses, we intend to reimburse our non-employee directors for reasonable travel and out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with attending Board and Board committee meetings.

On June 1, 2023, we rescinded previously granted but unissued non-statutory stock options to each of our independent director nominees and instead granted non-statutory stock options to purchase 49 shares of Common Stock (such share amount on a pre-adjusted basis and 14 on an as-adjusted basis) to our then independent director nominees and related parties, Jeffrey Parry, Crystal Muilenburg and Julianna Daley under our 2020 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended. The equity compensation grants were directly in relation to the appointment of Mr. Parry, Ms. Daley and Ms. Muilenburg as our independent directors. The options maintain a contractual life of 10 years and an exercise price of $7,000 per share of Common Stock (such dollar amount on a pre-adjusted basis and $24,500 on an as-adjusted basis). All options vest at a rate of 25% on the first anniversary of the date of grant and the remaining 75% vest evenly over 36 months thereafter.

Equity Incentive Awards

2025 Equity Incentive Plan

Overview

On September 15, 2025 (the “2025 Plan Effective Date”), the 2025 Plan became effective.

As of the 2025 Plan Effective Date, the 2025 Plan superseded the 2020 Plan, and any shares of Common Stock underlying awards already made under the 2020 Plan will be issued from the 2025 Plan. On the Plan Effective Date, (i) outstanding awards made under the 2020 Plan will remain outstanding, and such awards will remain subject to the original award terms; and (ii) shares subject to any outstanding awards made under the 2020 Plan will be administered from the share reserve of the 2025 Plan. The 2025 Plan is filed herein as Appendix A.

The purpose of the 2025 Plan is to attract and retain the best available personnel for positions of substantial responsibility, to provide additional incentive to employees, directors and consultants, and to promote the success of our business. The administrator of the 2025 Plan (the “Administrator”) may, in its sole discretion, amend, alter, suspend or terminate the 2025 Plan, or any part thereof, at any time and for any reason. We will obtain stockholder approval of any 2025 Plan amendment to the extent necessary and desirable to comply with legal and regulatory requirements relating to the administration of equity-based awards. Unless earlier terminated by the administrator, the 2025 Plan will terminate ten years after the 2025 Plan Effective Date.

Any capitalized terms used in this “2025 Equity Incentive Plan” subsection and not otherwise defined herein have the meaning given to that term in the 2025 Plan.

Authorized Shares

Initially, the maximum number of shares of our Common Stock that may be subject to awards under the 2025 Plan is 169,281, or 25% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock as of the 2025 Plan Effective Date. Subject to adjustment upon dividends or other distributions, recapitalizations, stock splits, reorganizations, merger, consolidations, split-ups, spin-offs, combinations, changes in control, repurchases or exchange of Shares or other securities of the Company as provided in Section 12 of the 2025 Plan, the number of shares of Common Stock reserved and available for issuance under the 2025 Plan will be (i) no less than twenty five percent (25%) of the shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of the 2025 Plan Effective Date; (ii) on January 1 of each calendar year after the 2025 Plan Effective Date, will automatically increase by an amount equal to the lesser of: (A) ten percent (10%) of the shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of January 1 of the applicable calendar year; and (B) such lesser amount as determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion.

23

Additionally, if an Award expires or becomes unexercisable without having been exercised in full, is surrendered pursuant to an exchange program, or, with respect to restricted stock, is forfeited to or repurchased by the Company due to the failure to vest, the unpurchased shares of Common Stock (or for Awards other than Options the forfeited or repurchased Shares) which were subject thereto will become available for future grant or sale under the 2025 Plan (unless the 2025 Plan has terminated). Shares of Common Stock that have actually been issued under the 2025 Plan under any Award will not be returned to the 2025 Plan and will not become available for future distribution under the 2025 Plan; provided, however, that if shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to Awards of Restricted Stock are repurchased by the Company or are forfeited to the Company due to the failure to vest or upon certain events, such shares of Common Stock will become available for future grant under the 2025 Plan. Shares of Common Stock used to pay the exercise price of an Award or to satisfy the tax withholding obligations related to an Award will become available for future grant or sale under the 2025 Plan. To the extent an Award under the 2025 Plan is paid out in cash rather than shares of Common Stock, such cash payment will not result in reducing the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the 2025 Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing and, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 12, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued upon the exercise of Incentive Stock Options will equal the aggregate number of shares reserved and issuable under the 2025 Plan, plus, to the extent allowable under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and the Treasury Regulations promulgated under the Code, any shares of Common Stock that become available for issuance under the 2025 Plan pursuant to Section 3(b) of the 2025 Plan (shares of Common Stock which were subject to Awards which have: expired or becomes unexercisable without having been exercised in full, surrendered pursuant to an exchange program, or with respect to restricted stock, is forfeited to or repurchased by the Company due to the failure to vest, the unpurchased shares of Common Stock (or for Awards other than Options the forfeited or repurchased Shares).

Plan Administration

The 2025 Plan will be administered by (i) the Compensation Committee or (ii) the Board, if the Compensation Committee does not exist, and in any event, the administrator of the 2025 Plan shall administer the 2025 Plan in compliance with Applicable Laws. Subject to the provisions of the 2025 Plan, and in the case of the Compensation Committee, subject to the specific duties delegated by the Board to the Compensation Committee, the Administrator will have the authority, in its discretion: (A) to determine the Fair Market Value (as defined below); (B) to select the Service Providers to whom Awards may be granted under the 2025 Plan; (C) to determine the number of Shares to be covered by each Award granted under the 2025 Plan; (D) to approve forms of Award Agreements for use under the 2025 Plan; (E) to determine the terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the 2025 Plan, of any Award granted under the 2025 Plan, of which terms and conditions include, but are not limited to, the exercise price, the time or times when Awards may be exercised (which may be based on performance criteria), any vesting acceleration or waiver of forfeiture restrictions, and any restriction or limitation regarding any Award or the Shares of Common Stock relating thereto, based in each case on such factors as the Administrator will determine; (F) to institute and determine the terms and conditions of an Exchange Program; (G) to construe and interpret the terms of the 2025 Plan and Awards granted pursuant to the 2025 Plan; (H) to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the 2025 Plan, including rules and regulations relating to sub-plans established for the purpose of satisfying applicable foreign laws or for qualifying for favorable tax treatment under applicable foreign laws; (I) to modify or amend each Award (subject to the amendment and termination provisions of the 2025 Plan), including but not limited to, the discretionary authority to extend the post-termination exercisability period of Awards and to extend the maximum term of an Option (subject to the Option term provisions set forth in the 2025 Plan; (J) to allow Participants to satisfy withholding tax obligations in a manner prescribed in Section 13 of the 2025 Plan; (K) to authorize any person to execute on behalf of the Company any instrument required to effect the grant of an Award previously granted by the Administrator; (L) to allow a Participant to defer the receipt of the payment of cash or the delivery of shares of Common Stock that otherwise would be due to such Participant under an Award; and (M) to make all other determinations deemed necessary or advisable for administering the 2025 Plan. The Administrator’s decisions, determinations and interpretations will be final and binding on all Participants and any other holders of Awards.

“Fair Market Value” means as of any date, the value of Common Stock determined as follows:

(i) if the Common Stock is listed on any established stock exchange or a national market system, including without limitation The Nasdaq Global Select Market, The Nasdaq Global Market or The Nasdaq Capital Market of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”), its Fair Market Value will be the closing sales price for such stock (or the closing bid, if no sales were reported) as quoted on such exchange or system on the day of determination, as reported in The Wall Street Journal or such other source as the Administrator deems reliable;

24

(ii) if the Common Stock is regularly quoted by a recognized securities dealer but selling prices are not reported, the Fair Market Value of a Share will be the mean between the high bid and low asked prices for the Common Stock on the day of determination (or, if no bids and asks were reported on that date, as applicable, on the last trading date such bids and asks were reported), as reported in The Wall Street Journal or such other source as the Administrator deems reliable; and

(iii) in the absence of an established market for the Common Stock, the Fair Market Value will be determined in good faith by the Administrator using one of the valuation methods set forth in Section 1.409A-1(b)(5)(iv)(B)(2) of the Treasury Regulation. Such determination shall be conclusive and binding on all persons.

Eligibility

Under the 2025 Plan, Non-statutory Stock Options, Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units and other equity awards granted may be granted to Service Providers. Additionally, Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to Employees.

Stock Options

Subject to the terms and provisions of the 2025 Plan, the Administrator, at any time and from time to time, may grant Options in such amounts as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, will determine. Each Award of an Option will be evidenced by an Award Agreement that will specify the exercise price, the term of the Option, the number of shares of Common Stock subject to the Option, the exercise restrictions, if any, applicable to the Option, and such other terms and conditions as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, will determine. Each Option will be designated in the Award Agreement as either an Incentive Stock Option or a Non-statutory Stock Option. Notwithstanding such designation, however, to the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by the Participant during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company and any Parent or Subsidiary) exceeds one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000), such Options will be treated as Non-statutory Stock Options.

The term of each Option will be stated in the Award Agreement; provided, however, that the term will be no more than five (5) years from the date of grant thereof. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a Participant who, at the time the Incentive Stock Option is granted, owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the term of the Incentive Stock Option will be five (5) years from the date of grant or such shorter term as may be provided in the Award Agreement. The terms of outstanding Awards may be amended without shareholder approval to reduce the exercise price of outstanding Options, or to cancel outstanding Options in exchange for cash, other Awards, or Options with an exercise price that is less than the exercise price of the original Option, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law or the listing rules of Nasdaq.

The per share exercise price for the shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Option will be determined by the Administrator, but will be no less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant. As to an Incentive Stock Option granted to an Employee who owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the per share exercise price will be no less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant. Options may be granted with a per share exercise price of less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant pursuant to a transaction described in, and in a manner consistent with, Code Section 424(a).

25

At the time an Option is granted, the Administrator will fix the period within which the Option may be exercised and will determine any conditions that must be satisfied before the Option may be exercised. The Administrator will determine the acceptable form of consideration for exercising an Option, including the method of payment. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option, the Administrator will determine the acceptable form of consideration at the time of grant. Such consideration may consist entirely of: (i) cash; (ii) check; (iii) promissory note, to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws; (iv) other Shares, provided that such Shares have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Shares as to which such Option will be exercised and provided further that accepting such Shares will not result in any adverse accounting consequences to the Company, as the Administrator determines in its sole discretion; (v) consideration received by the Company under cashless exercise program (whether through a broker or otherwise) implemented by the Company in connection with the 2025 Plan; (vi) by net exercise; (vii) such other consideration and method of payment for the issuance of Shares to the extent permitted by Applicable Law; or (viii) any combination of the foregoing methods of payment. In making its determination as to the type of consideration to accept, the Administrator will consider if acceptance of such consideration may be reasonably expected to benefit the Company.

Any Option granted under the 2025 Plan will be exercisable according to the terms of the 2025 Plan and at such times and under such conditions as determined by the Administrator and set forth in the Award Agreement. An Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a share of Common Stock.

Restricted Stock

Subject to the terms and provisions of the 2025 Plan, the Administrator, at any time and from time to time, may grant Shares of Restricted Stock to Service Providers in such amounts as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, will determine. Each Award of Restricted Stock will be evidenced by an Award Agreement that will specify the Period of Restriction, the number of Shares granted, and such other terms and conditions as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, will determine. Unless the Administrator determines otherwise, the Company as escrow agent will hold Shares of Restricted Stock until the restrictions on such Shares have lapsed. Except as provided in the 2025 Plan or as the Administrator determines, shares of Restricted Stock may not be transferred until the end of the applicable Period of Restriction (as defined below). The Administrator, in its sole discretion, may impose such other restrictions on Shares of Restricted Stock as it may deem advisable or appropriate. Except as otherwise provided in the 2025 Plan, Shares of Restricted Stock covered by each Restricted Stock grant made under the 2025 Plan will be released from escrow as soon as practicable after the last day of the Period of Restriction or at such other time as the Administrator may determine. The Administrator, in its discretion, may accelerate the time at which any restrictions will lapse or be removed. During the Period of Restriction, Service Providers holding Shares of Restricted Stock granted under the 2025 Plan may exercise full voting rights with respect to those Shares, unless the Administrator determines otherwise.

“Period of Restriction” means the period during which the transfer of shares of Restricted Stock are subject to restrictions and therefore, the shares of Common Stock are subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture. Such restrictions may be based on the passage of time, the achievement of target levels of performance, or the occurrence of other events as determined by the Administrator.

During the Period of Restriction, Service Providers holding shares of Restricted Stock will be entitled to receive all dividends and other distributions paid with respect to such shares, unless the Administrator provides otherwise. If any such dividends or distributions are paid in shares of Common Stock, the shares of Common Stock will be subject to the same restrictions on transferability and forfeitability as the shares of Restricted Stock with respect to which they were paid. On the date set forth in the Award Agreement, the Restricted Stock for which restrictions have not lapsed will revert to the Company and again will become available for grant under the 2025 Plan.

Restricted Stock Units

Subject to the terms and provisions of the 2025 Plan, the Administrator, at any time and from time to time, may grant Restricted Stock Units to Service Providers in such amounts as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, will determine. Each Award of Restricted Stock Units will be evidenced by an Award Agreement that will specify the terms, conditions, and restrictions (if any) related to the grant, including the number of Restricted Stock Units.

26

The Administrator will set vesting criteria in its discretion, which, depending on the extent to which the criteria are met, will determine the number of Restricted Stock Units that will be paid out to the Participant. A Restricted Stock Unit Award may vest upon completion of a specified period of service with the Company or a Subsidiary and/or based on the achievement of certain performance goals during the applicable performance period, as set forth in the Participant’s Award Agreement. If Restricted Stock Units vest based upon satisfaction of performance goals, then the Administrator will: (x) determine the nature, length and starting date of any performance period for the Restricted Stock Units; (y) select the performance goals to be used to measure the performance; and (z) determine what additional vesting conditions, if any, should apply. Upon meeting the applicable vesting criteria, the Participant will be entitled to receive a payout as determined by the Administrator. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time after the grant of Restricted Stock Units, the Administrator, in its sole discretion, may reduce or waive any vesting criteria that must be met to receive a payout. The Administrator may, in its sole discretion, award dividend equivalents in connection with the grant of Restricted Stock Units that may be settled in cash, in Shares of equivalent value, or in some combination thereof. Payment of earned Restricted Stock Units will be made upon the date(s) determined by the Administrator and set forth in the Award Agreement. The Administrator, in its sole discretion, may only settle earned Restricted Stock Units in cash, Shares, or a combination of both. On the date set forth in the Award Agreement, all Shares underlying any unvested, unlapsed, unearned Restricted Stock Units will be forfeited to the Company for future issuance.

Other Awards

Other forms of Awards valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on, Common Stock, including the appreciation in value thereof may be granted either alone or in addition to the specified Awards provided for in the 2025 Plan. Subject to the provisions of the 2025 Plan, the Board will have sole and complete discretion to determine the persons to whom and the time or times at which such Other Awards will be granted, the number of shares of Common Stock (or the cash equivalent thereof) to be granted pursuant to such other Awards and all other terms and conditions of such other Awards.

Non-transferability of Awards

Unless determined otherwise by the Administrator, Awards may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, or otherwise transferred in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and may be exercised, during the lifetime of the Participant, only by the Participant. If the Administrator makes an Award transferable, such Award may only be transferred (i) by will, (ii) by the laws of descent and distribution, or (iii) as permitted by Rule 701 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

Certain Adjustments

In the event that any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, shares of Common Stock, other securities, or other property), recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase, or exchange of shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company, or other change in the corporate structure of the Company affecting the shares of Common Stock occurs, the Administrator, in order to prevent diminution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the 2025 Plan, the Company will adjust the number and class of shares of Common Stock that is reserved and issuable under the 2025 Plan and/or the number, class, and price of shares of Common Stock covered by each outstanding Award.

Dissolution or Liquidation

In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Administrator will notify each Participant as soon as practicable prior to the effective date of such proposed transaction. To the extent it has not been previously exercised, an Award will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action.

27

Merger or Change in Control

In the event of a merger or Change in Control (as defined below), each outstanding Award will be treated as the Administrator determines (subject to the provisions of the following paragraph) without a Participant’s consent including, without limitation, that: (i) Awards will be assumed, or substantially equivalent Awards will be substituted, by the acquiring or succeeding corporation (or an affiliate thereof) with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of shares and prices; (ii) upon written notice to a Participant, that the Participant’s Awards will terminate upon or immediately prior to the consummation of such merger or Change in Control; (iii) outstanding Awards will vest and become exercisable, realizable, or payable, or restrictions applicable to an Award will lapse, in whole or in part prior to or upon consummation of such merger or Change in Control, and, to the extent the Administrator determines, terminate upon or immediately prior to the effectiveness of such merger or Change in Control; (iv) (A) the termination of an Award in exchange for an amount of cash and/or property, if any, equal to the amount that would have been attained upon the exercise of such Award or realization of the Participant’s rights as of the date of the occurrence of the transaction (and, for the avoidance of doubt, if as of the date of the occurrence of the transaction the Administrator determines in good faith that no amount would have been attained upon the exercise of such Award or realization of the Participant’s rights, then such Award may be terminated by the Company without payment), or (B) the replacement of such Award with other rights or property selected by the Administrator in its sole discretion; or (v) any combination of the foregoing. In taking any of the actions permitted under this Section 12(c), the Administrator will not be obligated to treat all Awards, all Awards held by a Participant, or all Awards of the same type, similarly.

In the event that the successor corporation does not assume or substitute for the Award (or portion thereof), the Participant will fully vest in and have the right to exercise all of his or her outstanding Options, including Shares as to which such Awards would not otherwise be vested or exercisable, all restrictions on Restricted Stock will lapse, and, with respect to Awards with performance-based vesting, all performance goals or other vesting criteria will be deemed achieved at one hundred percent (100%) of target levels and all other terms and conditions met. In addition, if an Option is not assumed or substituted in the event of a merger or Change in Control, the Administrator will notify the Participant in writing or electronically that the Option will be exercisable for a period of time determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion, and the Option will terminate upon the expiration of such period.

An Award will be considered assumed if, following the merger or Change in Control, the Award confers the right to purchase or receive, for each Share subject to the Award immediately prior to the merger or Change in Control, the consideration (whether stock, cash, or other securities or property) received in the merger or Change in Control by holders of Common Stock for each Share held on the effective date of the transaction (and if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares); provided, however, that if such consideration received in the merger or Change in Control is not solely common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent, the Administrator may, with the consent of the successor corporation, provide for the consideration to be received upon the exercise of an Option, for each Share subject to such Award, to be solely common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent equal in fair market value to the per share consideration received by holders of Common Stock in the merger or Change in Control.

Notwithstanding anything in Section 12(c) of the 2025 Plan to the contrary, an Award that vests, is earned or paid-out upon the satisfaction of one or more performance goals will not be considered assumed if the Company or its successor modifies any of such performance goals without the Participant’s consent; provided, however, a modification to such performance goals only to reflect the successor corporation’s post-Change in Control corporate structure will not be deemed to invalidate an otherwise valid Award assumption.

Notwithstanding anything in Section 12(c) of the 2025 Plan to the contrary, if a payment under an Award Agreement is subject to Code Section 409A and if the change in control definition contained in the Award Agreement does not comply with the definition of “change of control” for purposes of a distribution under Code Section 409A, then any payment of an amount that is otherwise accelerated under this Section 12 will be delayed until the earliest time that such payment would be permissible under Code Section 409A without triggering any penalties applicable under Code Section 409A.

“Change in Control” means any of the following events:

(i) A change in the ownership of the Company which occurs on the date that any one person, or more than one person acting as a group (“Person”), acquires ownership of the stock of the Company that, together with the stock held by such Person, constitutes more than 50% of the total voting power of the stock of the Company, except that any change in the ownership of the stock of the Company as a result of a private financing of the Company that is approved by the Board will not be considered a Change in Control;

28

(ii) If the Company has a class of securities registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act, a change in the effective control of the Company which occurs on the date that a majority of members of the Board is replaced during any twelve (12) month period by Directors whose appointment or election is not endorsed by a majority of the members of the Board prior to the date of the appointment or election. For purposes of this clause (ii), if any Person is considered to be in effective control of the Company, the acquisition of additional control of the Company by the same Person will not be considered a Change in Control; or

(iii) A change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the Company’s assets which occurs on the date that any Person acquires (or has acquired during the twelve (12) month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such person or persons) assets from the Company that have a total gross fair market value equal to or more than 50% of the total gross fair market value of all of the assets of the Company immediately prior to such acquisition or acquisitions. For purposes of this subsection (iii), gross fair market value means the value of the assets of the Company, or the value of the assets being disposed of, determined without regard to any liabilities associated with such assets.

For purposes of the definition of Change in Control, persons will be considered to be acting as a group if they are owners of a corporation that enters into a merger, consolidation, purchase or acquisition of stock, or similar business transaction with the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transaction will not be deemed a Change in Control unless the transaction qualifies as a change in control event within the meaning of Code Section 409A, as it has been and may be amended from time to time, and any proposed or final Treasury Regulations and Internal Revenue Service guidance that has been promulgated or may be promulgated thereunder from time to time. Further, and for the avoidance of doubt, a transaction will not constitute a Change in Control if: (i) its sole purpose is to change the jurisdiction of the Company’s incorporation; or (ii) its sole purpose is to create a holding company that will be owned in substantially the same proportions by the persons who held the Company’s securities immediately before such transaction.

Treatment of Awards on Termination of Relationship as a Service Provider

Unless otherwise provided by the Administrator, if a Participant ceases to be a Service Provider, other than upon the Participant’s termination as the result of the Participant’s death or Disability, any unvested portion of any applicable Awards will be forfeited and shares of Common Stock covered by any vested portion of the applicable Awards that have not been issued to the Participant or its designees, as applicable, pursuant to the exercise or settlement thereof during the period beginning on the date of cessation of the Participant as a Service Provider until three (3) months thereafter, will revert to the 2025 Plan. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, if the Service Provider is terminated for Cause, any Award issued to such terminated Service Provider will be forfeited, regardless of any vested or unvested portion of such Award, and in the case of such forfeiture, the Shares covered by the Award will revert to the 2025 Plan.

Unless otherwise provided by the Administrator, if a Participant ceases to be a Service Provider as a result of the Participant’s Disability, (i) the vested portion of the Option shall remain exercisable for the amount set forth in the Award Agreement (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of the Option as set forth in the Award Agreement), and if no time is specified in the Award Agreement, the vested portion of the Option shall remain exercisable for twelve (12) months following the Participant’s termination, and (ii) the unvested portion shall remain exercisable for three (3) months following the Participant’s termination due to Disability, and after such three (3) months the Shares underlying the unvested portion of the Option will be forfeited and revert to the 2025 Plan. If after termination the Participant does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified herein, the Option will terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option will revert to the 2025 Plan.

Unless otherwise provided by the Administrator, if a Participant dies while a Service Provider, the Option may be exercised within such period of time as is specified in the Award Agreement (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Award Agreement) to the extent that the Option is vested on the date of death, by the Participant’s designated beneficiary, provided such beneficiary has been designated prior to the Participant’s death in a form acceptable to the Administrator. If no such beneficiary has been designated by the Participant, then such Option may be exercised by the personal representative of the Participant’s estate or by the person(s) to whom the Option is transferred pursuant to the Participant’s will or in accordance with the laws of descent and distribution. In the absence of a specified time in the Award Agreement, the Option shall remain exercisable for twelve (12) months following the Participant’s termination. Unless otherwise provided by the Administrator, if at the time of death Participant is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option will immediately revert to the 2025 Plan. If the Option is not so exercised within the time specified herein, the Option will terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option will revert to the 2025 Plan.

29

Clawback

Awards will be subject to any Company clawback policy that the Company is required to adopt pursuant to the listing standards of any national securities exchange or association on which the Company’s securities are listed or as is otherwise required by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act or other applicable laws. The administrator also may specify in an award agreement that the participant’s rights, payments or benefits with respect to an award will be subject to reduction, cancellation, forfeiture or recoupment upon the occurrence of certain specified events. The Administrator may require a participant to forfeit, return or reimburse the Company all or a portion of the Award or shares issued under the Award, any amounts paid under the Award and any payments or proceeds paid or provided upon disposition of the shares issued under the Award in order to comply with such clawback policy or Applicable Laws.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences

The 2025 Plan is, in part, is a qualified plan for federal income tax purposes. As such, the Company is entitled to (i) withhold and deduct from future wages of the Participant, or make other arrangements for the collection of, all legally required amounts necessary to satisfy any and all federal, state and local withholding and employment-related tax requirements attributable to a qualified stock option, including, without limitation, the grant, exercise or vesting of, or payment of dividends with respect to, a qualified stock option or a disqualifying disposition of stock received upon exercise of a qualified stock option, or (ii) require the Participant promptly to remit the amount of such withholding to the Company before taking any action, including issuing any shares of Common Stock, with respect to a qualified stock option.

Amendment and Termination

The Board may at any time amend, alter, suspend or terminate the 2025 Plan. The Company shall obtain stockholder approval of any Plan amendment to the extent necessary and desirable to comply with Applicable Laws. Additionally, the Company shall obtain stockholder approval for each of the following: (i) increases to the shares of Common Stock reserved and issuable under the 2025 Plan other than as set forth in Section 3(c)(ii) to 3(c)(iii) of the 2025 Plan (evergreen and adjustment provisions of the 2025 Plan); (ii) any changes to the applicable prices that a Participant may pay for with regard to applicable Awards granted under the 2025 Plan, provided, however, that the terms of outstanding Awards may be amended without shareholder approval to reduce the exercise price of outstanding Options, or to cancel outstanding Options in exchange for cash, other Awards, or Options with an exercise price that is less than the exercise price of the original Option; (iii) changes to the 2025 Plan which would expand eligibility for Participant or potential Participants’ Awards; (iv) changes to the 2025 Plan which would materially increase Participants’ or potential Participants’ benefits available under the 2025 Plan; and (v) changes to the 2025 Plan which would expand the types of Awards provided under the 2025 Plan. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the 2025 Plan, the terms of outstanding Awards may be amended without shareholder approval to reduce the exercise price of outstanding Options, or to cancel outstanding Options in exchange for cash, other Awards, or Options with an exercise price that is less than the exercise price of the original Option to the extent permitted by applicable law or the listing rules of the applicable trading market.

No amendment, alteration, suspension or termination of the 2025 Plan will impair the rights of any Participant, unless mutually agreed otherwise between the Participant and the Administrator, which agreement must be in writing and signed by the Participant and the Company. Termination of the 2025 Plan will not affect the Administrator’s ability to exercise the powers granted to it under the 2025 Plan with respect to Awards granted under the 2025 Plan prior to the date of such termination.

Policies and Practices for Granting Certain Equity Awards

Our policies and practices regarding the granting of equity awards are carefully designed to ensure compliance with applicable securities laws and to maintain the integrity of our executive compensation program. The Compensation Committee is responsible for the timing and terms of equity awards to executives and other eligible employees.

The timing of equity award grants is determined with consideration to a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, the achievement of pre-established performance targets, market conditions and internal milestones. The Company does not follow a predetermined schedule for the granting of equity awards; instead, each grant is considered on a case-by-case basis to align with the Company’s strategic objectives and to ensure the competitiveness of our compensation packages.

In determining the timing and terms of an equity award, the Board or the Compensation Committee may consider material nonpublic information to ensure that such grants are made in compliance with applicable laws and regulations. The Board’s or the Compensation Committee’s procedures to prevent the improper use of material nonpublic information in connection with the granting of equity awards include oversight by legal counsel and, where appropriate, delaying the grant of equity awards until the public disclosure of such material nonpublic information.

The Company is committed to maintaining transparency in its executive compensation practices and to making equity awards in a manner that is not influenced by the timing of the disclosure of material nonpublic information for the purpose of affecting the value of executive compensation. The Company regularly reviews its policies and practices related to equity awards to ensure they meet the evolving standards of corporate governance and continue to serve the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

The following table sets forth certain information regarding the ownership of the Company’s Common Stock and Series B Preferred Stock as of October 10, 2025 by: (i) each director and nominee for director; (ii) each executive officer named in the Summary Compensation Table; (iii) all executive officers and directors of the Company as a group; and (iv) all those known by the Company to be beneficial owners of more than five percent (5%) of its Common Stock and Series B Preferred Stock.

We have determined beneficial ownership in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC, and the information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose. In general, under these rules a beneficial owner of a security includes any person who, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship or otherwise has or shares voting power or investment power with respect to such security. A person is also deemed to be a beneficial owner of a security if that person has the right to acquire beneficial ownership of such security within 60 days of October 10, 2025. Except as indicated by the footnotes below, we believe, based on information furnished to us, that the persons and entities named in the table below have sole voting and sole investment power with respect to all shares that they beneficially own, subject to applicable community property laws.

Percentage ownership is based on 744,121 shares of Common Stock and 6,372,874 shares of outstanding Series B Preferred Stock as of October 10, 2025.

As consideration for his services as non-employee, non-executive Chairman, the Company agreed to pay Northstrive $16,000 per month. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, we paid Northstrive $190,900 under the Northstrive Consulting Agreement. The First Amended Northstrive Consulting Agreement was filed as Exhibit 10.13 in the Form S-1 filed with the SEC on February 12, 2025 and is incorporated herein by reference.

On October 25, 2024, the Company entered into the Second Amended and Restated Consulting Agreement for Non-Executive Chairman (the “Second Amended Northstrive Companies Consulting Agreement”) with Northstrive. The Second Amended Northstrive Companies Consulting Agreement provided that, as consideration for Mr. Lichti’s provision of his services as non-executive Chairman, as set forth more fully in such agreement, the Company would compensate Northstrive as such: (i) an annual consultant fee of $300,000 per annum (the “Lichti Annual Consultant Fee”), 1/12 of which Lichti Annual Consultant Fee will be paid to Northstrive once per calendar month (“Northstrive Payment Cycle”), provided that Northstrive performs the Services required to be performed in each Northstrive Payment Cycle. The Company agreed that upon execution of the Second Amended Northstrive Companies Consulting Agreement, the Company would make the following payments to Northstrive (such payments, the “Northstrive Sign-on Bonuses”): (A) a one-time bonus of $175,000, with (I) $100,000 of such bonus to be paid to Northstrive in cash and (II) $75,000 of such bonus to be remitted to Northstrive in Series B Preferred Stock, with the cash equivalent of such shares of Series B Preferred Stock to be determined by mutual agreement of the Company and Northstrive; and (B) 300,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock. In the Board’s sole discretion, it may also award Northstrive a bonus at the end of the applicable fiscal year in the amounts it determines in its sole discretion (each of such bonuses, the “Lichti Annual Bonus”), provided that Northstrive meets the Board’s performance objectives for Northstrive and Northstrive is engaged by the Company for such fiscal year in full. The target of the Lichti Annual Bonus is 125% or greater of the Lichti Annual Consultant Fee.

Subject to the terms of the Second Amended Northstrive Companies Consulting Agreement, Northstrive is also entitled to each of the following bonus payments (collectively, the “Northstrive Milestone Bonuses”). Such Northstrive Milestone Bonuses are payable upon the occurrence of the following events, at which time the Company shall remit the applicable Northstrive Milestone Bonuses to Northstrive as follows:

(i) The Company shall pay Northstrive $50,000 for each Company acquisition consummated, provided that the target company of such acquisition has $2,000,000 in annual revenue or more upon consummation of the acquisition.

34

(ii) The Company shall pay Northstrive $50,000 upon any closing of an equity or equity-linked financing of the Company which results in net proceeds being raised in such financing of $3,000,000 in a fiscal quarter (the closing which qualifies Northstrive for such payment, the “Northstrive Triggering Equity Financing,” and such payment, the “Northstrive Equity Financing Bonus”). For the avoidance of doubt, Northstrive is entitled only to a one-time payment of the Northstrive Equity Financing Bonus $50,000 per fiscal quarter and the Company will not make further payments as a Northstrive Equity Financing Bonus in spite of the occurrence of any of the following events: (A) the closing of any equity or equity-linked financings subsequent to the Northstrive Triggering Equity Financing in such fiscal quarter which result in proceeds of $3,000,000 to the Company; (B) any closings for the same equity financing round subsequent to the Northstrive Triggering Equity Financing in such fiscal quarter which result in additional proceeds of $3,000,000 or more to the Company.

(iii) The Company shall pay Northstrive $75,000 each time the Company achieves a Market Valuation (as defined in the Second Amended Northstrive Companies Consulting Agreement) of $10,000,000, $20,000,000, $30,000,000, and $40,000,000 (each of such payments, “Northstrive Valuation Payment”), provided that each of such market valuations continue for each at least five (5) consecutive Trading Days, and provided further that the Company may only recover any erroneously awarded amounts in Northstrive Valuation Payments for one (1) year following the date of such erroneous award.

(iv) The Company shall pay Northstrive $300,000 each time the Company achieves a Market Valuation of $50,000,000 and $100,000,000, provided that each of such Market Valuations continues for each at least two (2) consecutive Trading Days.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary stated in the Second Amended Northstrive Companies Consulting Agreement, Northstrive may elect to accrue the Northstrive Milestone Bonuses and convert the cash amount of the Northstrive Milestone Bonus into shares of the Company’s common stock or preferred stock. In such event, the conversion ratio of the Northstrive Milestone Bonus shall be determined by mutual agreement between the Company and Northstrive. The foregoing summary of the Second Amended GB Capital Consulting Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to and is qualified in its entirety by a copy of the Second Amended Northstrive Companies Consulting Agreement, filed as Exhibit 10.2 in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on October 31, 2025 and incorporated herein by reference.

On October 25, 2024, the Company entered into the Amendment to the Second Amended Northstrive Companies Consulting Agreement, which stipulated that the Company’s issuances of Series B Preferred Stock to Northstrive as the Northstrive Sign-on Bonuses, were subject to stockholder approval. The Amendment to the Second Amended Northstrive Companies Consulting Agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.22 in the Form S-1 filed with the SEC on February 12, 2025 and is incorporated herein by reference. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, we paid Northstrive $188,500 under the Second Amended Northstrive Companies Consulting Agreement.

On April 3, 2025, the Company entered into Amendment No. 2 to the Second Amended Northstrive Companies Consulting Agreement, which amended and restated paragraph 1d of Exhibit B of the Second Amended and Restated Northstrive Companies Consulting Agreement to include:

	(v)	The Board, in its sole discretion, may award a cash or equity bonus payment (“Licensing Milestone Bonus”) to Northstrive upon the Company or any of its Subsidiaries’ (as defined below) entry into a license agreement which provides for (A) the Company or Subsidiary’s license of any intellectual property rights of the Company or Subsidiary to another party, including the license of intellectual property rights of the Company or Subsidiary to each other, or (B) a third party’s license of intellectual property rights to the Company or Subsidiary; provided, however, that if the Board determines to award the Licensing Milestone Bonus to Northstrive in the form of preferred stock, such preferred stock issuance is subject to the approval of the Company’s shareholders.

35

“Subsidiary” means any corporation or other entity of which a majority of (i) the voting power of the voting equity securities or (ii) the outstanding equity interests is owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company.”

In such event, the conversion ratio of the Milestone Bonus shall be determined by mutual agreement between the Company and Northstrive, provided, however, that if Northstrive determines to receive the Milestone Bonus payment in the form of preferred stock, the Milestone Bonus payment is subject to the approval of the Company’s shareholders.”

Capitalized terms used in the text quoted immediately above have the meanings set forth in Amendment No. 2 to the Second Amended Northstrive Companies Consulting Agreement. The Second Amended Northstrive Consulting Agreement further clarified that (the equity grants made to Northstrive under Section 2 of Exhibit B of the Northstrive Consulting Agreement, if determined by the Board to be in the form of preferred stock, is subject to the approval of the Company’s shareholders.

On August 12, 2025, the Company entered into Amendment No. 3 to the Second Amended Northstrive Consulting Agreement, which provided for the Company’s grant of Acquisition Awards (as defined below) to Northstrive on the consummation of any acquisition of (i) an entity, (ii) assets, or (iii) capital stock by the Company or any Subsidiary (as defined below). The amount of the Acquisition Award will be calculated based on the total purchase price of the consummated acquisition, regardless of whether or not such purchase price is paid in cash, stock, assumed debt, or other consideration (such purchase price, the “Agreement Acquisition Value”), and will be determined as follows:

(i) Agreement Acquisition Value from $0 to $5,000,000 – Northstrive is entitled to an Acquisition Award of 5% of the Northstrive Agreement Acquisition Value;

(ii) Agreement Acquisition Value over $5,000,000 to $10,000,000 – Northstrive is entitled to an Acquisition Award of 6% of the Northstrive Agreement Acquisition Value;

In addition to the determinations of Agreement Acquisition Value set forth above, the Compensation Committee may, in its sole discretion, determine to award Northstrive an additional 1% of the applicable percentage of the Acquisition Value if: (i) the Board and/or Compensation Committee projects the applicable acquisition to be earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) or net income accretive within twelve (12) months of closing or (b) the Compensation Committee deems the applicable acquisition as an advancement to the Company’s long-term growth objectives, competitive positioning, and/or operational capabilities.

If Northstrive elects to receive its Acquisition Award in the form of RSUs or restricted stock, the number of RSUs (“RSU Award Amount”) or restricted stock granted shall equal (x) the dollar value of the Acquisition Award divided by (y) the trailing five (5) day volume-weighted average price (VWAP) of the Company’s common stock ending on the trading day prior to the acquisition closing date (such RSU Award Amount rounded down to the nearest whole share). The RSUs or restricted stock granted to Northstrive will be fully vested and shall not be subject to any further service or performance conditions.

Amendment No. 3 to the Second Amended Northstrive Consulting Agreement also provided for the name change of the Second Amended Northstrive Consulting Agreement, going forward, to “Consulting and Services Agreement for Non-Employee, Non-Executive Chairman.” Amendment No. 3 to the Second Amended Northstrive Consulting Agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on August 18, 2025 and is incorporated herein by reference.

On May 7, 2025, the Company entered into a Secondment Agreement with Northstrive, pursuant to which Northstrive agreed to second certain of its employees (each, a “Northstrive Employee” and, collectively, the “Northstrive Employees”) to the Company from time to time to provide certain services in accordance with the terms of the Northstrive Secondment Agreement. The Northstrive Employees will remain employees of Northstrive during their respective periods of secondment (each, a “Northstrive Employee Secondment Period”) and will not be employees of the Company. Under the Northstrive Secondment Agreement, Northstrive shall pay each Northstrive Employee’s salary, incentives, health and retirement benefits, and other applicable compensation or benefits Northstrive Employee is entitled to as an employee of Northstrive. As consideration for Northstrive making Northstrive Employees available to provide services during the Northstrive Employee Secondment Period, the Company will reimburse Northstrive on a monthly basis based on (i) an agreed hourly rate set forth in the Secondment Agreement, multiplied by (ii) actual hours worked by the Northstrive Employee. Except as otherwise set forth in the Northstrive Secondment Agreement, each party to the Northstrive Secondment Agreement shall bear its own costs and expenses in connection with the Northstrive Secondment Agreement. However, if any extraordinary costs or expenses not contemplated by the Northstrive Secondment Agreement arise in connection with the Northstrive Secondment Agreement, including travel and expenses, the Company will reimburse Northstrive for such costs and expenses, provided that (i) the Company provided its written consent prior to Northstrive’s incurrence of such costs and expenses, and (ii) such costs and expenses are documented to the reasonable satisfaction of the Company.

36

Pursuant to the terms of the Northstrive Secondment Agreement, each Northstrive Employee will provide services to the Company as agreed between the parties up to the number of hours per week specified in the Northstrive Secondment Agreement. Further, each Northstrive Employee shall provide services at the Company’s principal place of business or such other place as the parties may agree. The Company has full and exclusive responsibility for each Northstrive Employee’s actions performed in service to the Company during the Northstrive Secondment Period.

The Company may terminate the services provided by any Northstrive Employee at any time by providing at least fifteen (15) days’ prior written notice of termination to Northstrive. Upon the termination of any Northstrive Employee’s employment with Northstrive, any Northstrive Employee’s services to the Company will also terminate, and if such employment with Northstrive is terminated, Northstrive shall provide notice of the same to the Company. Either party may terminate the Northstrive Secondment Agreement by providing at least 90 days’ written notice of termination to the other party. If a party is in breach or default of any provision of the Northstrive Secondment Agreement and does not cure such breach or default within ten (10) days, the other party may terminate the Agreement upon ten (10) days’ written notice to the other party, with such notice to be made pursuant to the terms of the Northstrive Secondment Agreement.

The Northstrive Secondment Agreement contains customary provisions relating to confidentiality, indemnification, and limitations on liability. The foregoing summary of the Northstrive Secondment Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to and are qualified in its entirety by a copy of the Northstrive Secondment Agreement, filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K with the SEC on May 13, 2025, and is incorporated by reference herein.

This amount includes $61,260.00 in management fees and $228,810.75 in expense reimbursements. The reimbursed expenses cover costs and bonuses for seconded NorthStrive employees working on the Company’s operations, reimbursements for third party recruiting and temporary staffing fees paid by Northstrive, and other personnel-related operating expenses required to operate the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries.

On June 19, 2024, the Company entered into an Unsecured Revolving Line of Credit Promissory Note (the “Revolving Note”) with NorthStrive Fund II LP, an entity owned and controlled by Braeden Lichti. The Revolving Note provided for a $200,000 unsecured line of credit to the Company with a maturity date of June 19, 2025, and interest calculated at the rate of twenty percent (20.0%) per annum on the outstanding principal balance through the maturity date. Under the Revolving Note, the Company may prepay any outstanding balance of the Revolving Note at any time, provided that interest due on the Revolving Note is simultaneously satisfied in full. As of the date of this Proxy Statement, the Revolving Note has been repaid in full. The largest aggregate amount of principal outstanding in the last two (2) fiscal years was $200,000, and the interest paid in that time was $40,000. The Revolving Note is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on June 20, 2024 and is incorporated herein by reference.

On May 1, 2023, as effective on February 1, 2023, we entered into an advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) with Braeden Litchi, which advisory agreement terminates after twenty-two months to strategically assist us in our maintenance of board governance, director recruitment, and direction for our board of directors strategy sessions. The Advisory Agreement was entered into under contemplation of Mr. Litchi’s resignation from our Board effective February 1, 2023, and our desire to maintain Mr. Litchi’s compensation as a valuable advisor to us. Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, we agreed with Mr. Litchi that in exchange for services under the Advisory Agreement, his options granted on February 9, 2021 to purchase 1,000 shares of our Common Stock (200,000 pre 1:200 share consolidation) under our 2020 Equity Incentive Plan shall continue to vest pursuant to the aforementioned terms of the Advisory Agreement. On June 21, 2024, we terminated the Advisory Agreement, which was a condition to Mr. Lichti’s appointment to the Board and as non-executive Chairman of the Board on the same date.

Prior to our reorganization, BWL Investments Ltd., an entity also owned and managed by Braeden Lichti, owned approximately 29.4% of our issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock and 100% of the equity interests in Reactive Labs. On June 4, 2021, we issued 100 shares of Common Stock (pre 1:200 stock consolidation and pre 1:7 split) to BWL in in exchange for substantially all of the assets and liabilities of Reactive Labs.

Braeden Lichti is one of our co-founders and our current non-employee, non-executive Chairman and director. He is the current Chief Executive Officer of Northstrive and BWL, as described herein and may be deemed a “promoter” as defined by Rule 405 of the Securities Act though we elect to refer to him as a “founder” or “organizer” as permitted under Rule 405. There are no other promoters of the Company.

In May, and December of 2022, we granted non-statutory stock options to purchase 179 shares of the Company’s Common Stock to Brenda Buechler, our former Chief Marketing Officer, and Christoph Kraneiss, our former Chief Commercial Officer. The options maintain a contractual life of ten years and weighted average exercise price of $1,708 per share of Common Stock. These stock options were valued at $264,906 using the Black-Scholes Option.

Pricing Model. The options vest 25% on the first anniversary of the grant date and the remaining 75% vest evenly over 36 months thereafter. Details of the fair value granted to each individual and the related expense recorded for the year ended December 31, 2022, are as follows:

		December 31, 2022				Fair value of stock options granted
Brenda Buechler, former Chief Marketing Officer		$	43,488			$	143,679

On June 1, 2023, we rescinded previously granted but unissued non-statutory stock options to each of our independent director nominees and instead granted non-statutory stock options to purchase 172 shares of the Company’s Common Stock to our then independent director nominees and related parties Jeffery Parry, Crystal Muilenburg and Julianna Daley under our 2021 Equity Incentive Plan. The equity compensation grants were directly in relation to the appointment of Mr. Parry, Ms. Daley and Ms. Muilenburg as our independent directors. The options maintain a contractual life of ten years and an exercise price of $7,000 per share of Common Stock. All options vest at a rate of 25% on the first anniversary of the date of grant and the remaining 75% vest evenly over 36 months thereafter.

Each of these stockholder agreements terminated upon the closing of our initial public offering in 2023, whereby such stockholders are no longer entitled to the rights to them afforded therein.

Prior to the consummation of our initial public offering, in 2023, in connection with a Common Stock financing, we entered into a subordinate investors’ rights agreement containing registration rights and information rights with certain holders of our Common Stock.

Share Repurchases

On March 7, 2025, the Company entered into two share buyback purchase agreements with two of its existing shareholders, pursuant to which the Company repurchased, in the aggregate, 11 shares of Common Stock (such share amount amount on a pre-adjusted basis and 4 on an as-adjusted basis) from such shareholders at a price of $5.0617 per share (such dollar amount on a pre-adjusted basis and $13.00 on an as-adjusted basis). These share repurchases were consummated on the same date. These shareholders had initially approached the Company for the share repurchases.

Registered Direct Offering

On March 21, 2025, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with certain institutional investors in connection with a registered direct offering for the offer and sale of 129,145 shares of the Company’s Common Stock  (such share amount on a pre-adjusted basis and 36,899 on an as-adjusted basis) and pre-funded warrants to purchase 165,305 shares of Common Stock (such share amount on a pre-adjusted basis and 47,230 on an as-adjusted basis),  in the aggregate (such offering, the “Registered Direct Offering”). Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company also agreed to, amongst other things, adjustment terms in the Pre-Funded Warrants, issuance of the shares underlying the Pre-Funded Warrants upon the exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants, in accordance with the terms of the Pre-Funded Warrants, and the parties agreed to customary representations and warranties and agreements and indemnification rights and obligations. The Pre-Funded Warrants have an exercise price of $0.0001 per share and each Pre-Funded Warrant is exercisable for one share of Common Stock (the shares underlying the Pre-Funded Warrants, the “Warrant Shares”). A holder of the Pre-Funded Warrants (“Holder”) will not have the right to exercise any portion of its Pre-Funded Warrants if the Holder, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (or, at the election of the Holder, such limit may be increased to up to 9.99%) of the number of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise. The Pre-Funded Warrants will be immediately exercisable (subject to the aforementioned beneficial ownership limitation) and may be exercised at any time until all of the Pre-Funded Warrants are exercised in full. The Pre-Funded Warrant may be exercised, in whole or in part, at such time by means of a cashless exercise, under which cashless exercise the Holder is entitled to receive a number of Warrant Shares under the terms of the Pre-Funded Warrants. The exercise price of the Pre-Funded Warrants is subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations, and similar capital transactions or such other event as further described in the Pre-Funded Warrants. As more fully described in the Securities Purchase Agreement, Holders are also entitled to acquire Purchase Rights (as defined in the Pre-Funded Warrants) upon subsequent rights offerings conducted by the Company, are entitled to certain pro rata distributions, and may be issued shares of Common Stock upon the occurrence of a Fundamental Transaction (as defined in the Pre-Funded Warrants).

38

The shares of Common Stock, the Pre-Funded Warrants, and the Warrant Shares were offered pursuant to the (i) registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-284505) filed with the SEC on January 27, 2025 and declared effective by the SEC on February 7, 2025, and the (ii) prospectus supplement filed with the SEC on March 24, 2025.

The Registered Direct Offering was consummated on March 24, 2025. The Company received net proceeds of approximately $1,245,305.76 from the Offering, after deducting offering expenses payable by the Company, including placement agent fees, legal fees, and clearing fees. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Registered Direct Offering for general corporate purposes and potential acquisitions of operating companies, which companies are yet to be identified at this time.

Equity Purchase Facility

Securities Purchase Agreement

On September 23, 2025, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with an institutional investor (“Investor,” and, together with the Company, the “Parties”). The Purchase Agreement provides for an equity line of credit under which the Company agreed to issue and sell to the Investor, upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement: (i) one or more Secured Pre-Paid Purchases (each, a “Pre-Paid Purchase,” and all shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001, “Common Stock”) issuable under the Pre-Paid Purchases, the “Pre-Paid Shares”) in the aggregate purchase amount of up to $20,000,000 (such amount, the “Commitment Amount”), which includes the Initial Pre-Paid Purchase, for the purchase of shares of Common Stock, upon the terms and subject to the limitations and conditions set forth in such Pre-Paid Purchase (as further described below); (ii) Pre-Paid Purchase # 1 (the “Initial Pre-Paid Purchase”) in the original principal amount of $5,000,000, to be delivered by the Company to the Investor on the date of consummation of the issuance and sale of the Initial Pre-Paid Purchase and the Pre-Delivery Shares (such consummation, “Closing,” and such date, the “Closing Date”); (iii) 56,700 shares of Common Stock as a commitment fee for Initial Pre-Paid Purchase (“Commitment Shares”), such Commitment Shares to be delivered by the Company to Investor on the Closing Date; (iv) 10,300 shares of Common Stock to be used as pre-delivery shares (“Pre-Delivery Shares,” and, together with the Commitment Shares, all Pre-Paid Purchases, and the Pre-Paid Shares, the “Securities”), to be issued and delivered by the Company to Investor on the Closing Date. In connection with the Purchase Agreement, the Company also entered into the Security Agreement (as defined and described below) and the Pledge Agreement (as defined and described below). Additionally, in connection with the Purchase Agreement, certain of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries, AGA Precision Systems LLC, a California limited liability company (“AGA”), and Pacific Sun Packaging Inc., a California corporation (“Pacific Sun”), each entered into a Guaranty (each, a “Guaranty”) for the benefit of the Investor, as further described below.

Initial Pre-Paid Purchase

The Initial Pre-Paid Purchase carries an original issue discount of $425,000.00 (“OID”). The Company agreed to pay $30,000 to the Investor to cover the Investor’s legal fees, accounting costs, due diligence, and other transaction costs incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement (the “Transaction Expense Amount”). The initial purchase price payable to the Company on the Closing Date was $4,545,000.00 (the “Initial Purchase Price”), computed as follows: $5,000,000.00 initial principal balance, less the OID, less the Transaction Expense Amount. In addition to the Initial Purchase Price, the Investor also agreed to pay $6.70 to Company for the Pre-Delivery Shares (the “Pre-Delivery Purchase Price,” and, together with the Initial Purchase Price, the “Purchase Price”). The maturity date of the Initial Pre-Paid Purchase is September 26, 2028.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Initial Pre-Paid Purchase, at any time following September 26, 2025, Investor may, by providing written notice to Company, require Company to issue and sell Purchase Shares to Investor, such Purchase Shares at the price equal to 88.00% multiplied by the lowest VWAP during the ten (10) Trading Day period preceding the applicable measurement date (such price, the “Purchase Share Purchase Price”). The Purchase Amount shall not exceed the Outstanding Balance. In addition, if the Purchase Share Purchase Price is below $1.058, the Investor may elect to have the portion of the applicable Purchase Amount that is less than $1.058 be paid in cash rather than Purchase Shares. The Company may not effect any issuance of Purchase Shares pursuant to the Pre-Paid Purchase to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance, the issuance would cause the Investor (together with its affiliates) to beneficially own a number of shares of Common Stock exceeding 9.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such date (the “Maximum Percentage”). The Maximum Percentage is enforceable, unconditional, and non-waivable and shall apply to all affiliates and assigns of Investor.

39

At any time following September 26, 2025, Investor will also have the right to require Company to issue and sell Purchase Shares to Investor at the Pre-Delivery Purchase Price by delivering a Purchase Notice to Company indicating the portion of the Outstanding Balance Investor is electing to use for the purchase of such Purchase Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will the total amount of the Outstanding Balance used for the purchase of these shares, constituting pre-delivery shares (“Initial Pre-Delivery Shares”), exceed, in the aggregate, the Pre-Delivery Purchase Cap. Issuances of Initial Pre-Delivery Shares will be subject to the Maximum Percentage. The Maximum Percentage is enforceable, unconditional, and non-waivable and shall apply to all affiliates and assigns of Investor.

Upon ten (10) Trading Days’ prior written notice, the Company may prepay all or any portion of the Outstanding Balance other than the pre-delivery purchase cap of $25,000.00, subject to certain conditions. If the Company exercises its right to prepay the Initial Pre-Paid Purchase, the Company shall make payment to the Investor of an amount in cash equal to 120.00% multiplied by the portion of the outstanding balance of the Initial Prepaid Purchase the Company elects to prepay.

Upon an Event of Default (as defined below), Investor may accelerate the Initial Pre-Paid Purchase by written notice to Company, with the outstanding balance on the Initial Pre-Paid Purchase becoming immediately due and payable in cash. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in clauses (b) – (f) of the definition of Event of Default set forth below, an Event of Default will be deemed to have occurred and the outstanding balance as of the date of the occurrence of such Event of Default will become immediately and automatically due and payable in cash. At any time following the occurrence of any Event of Default, upon written notice given by Investor to Company, the outstanding balance will automatically increase by fifteen percent (15.00%) and interest shall accrue on the outstanding balance beginning on the date the applicable Event of Default occurred at an interest rate equal to the lesser of eighteen percent (18.00%) per annum or the maximum rate permitted under applicable law.

“Event of Default” means any of the following events: (a) the Company fails to pay any principal, interest, fees, charges, or any other amount when due and payable under the applicable Pre-Paid Purchase; (b) a receiver, trustee or other similar official shall be appointed over Company or a material part of its assets and such appointment shall remain uncontested for twenty (20) days or shall not be dismissed or discharged within sixty (60) days; (c) the Company becomes insolvent or generally fails to pay, or admits in writing its inability to pay, its debts as they become due, subject to applicable grace periods, if any; (d) the Company makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; (e) the Company files a petition for relief under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law (domestic or foreign); (f) an involuntary bankruptcy proceeding is commenced or filed against the Company; (g) the Company fails to observe or perform any covenant set forth in Section 4 or Section 5 of the Purchase Agreement; (h) the occurrence of a Fundamental Transaction (as defined in the Initial Pre-Paid Purchase) without Investor’s prior written consent; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary to the other Transaction Documents, any transaction involving the acquisition, merger, or otherwise of any business by the Company or any of its subsidiaries shall not be deemed a Fundamental Transaction, unless such transaction results in a Change of Control (as defined in the Pre-Paid Purchase); (i) Company fails to timely establish and maintain the Share (j) Company fails to deliver any Purchase Shares (including Pre-Delivery Shares) in accordance with the terms provided in the Pre-Paid Purchase, that there shall be no breach in the event such failure is solely attributable to the Company’s transfer agent, so long as (1) the failure is cured and the required delivery is completed within ten (10) Trading Days after the applicable deadline, and (2) the total number of such transfer agent-related failures does not exceed three (3) in the aggregate during the term of the Transaction Documents; (k) any money judgment, writ or similar process is entered or filed against the Company or any subsidiary of the Company or any of its property or other assets for more than $1,000,000.00, and shall remain unvacated, unbonded or unstayed for a period of twenty (20) calendar days unless otherwise consented to by Investor; (l) the Company fails to be DWAC Eligible; (m) the Company or any subsidiary of Company, breaches any covenant or other term or condition contained in any Other Agreement (as defined in the Initial Pre-Paid Purchase) in any material respect; (n) the Company defaults or otherwise fails to observe or perform any covenant, obligation, condition or agreement of the Company contained in the Pre-Paid Purchase or in any other Transaction Document in any material respect, other than those specifically set forth in Section 4.1 of the Initial Pre-Paid Purchase or Section 4 or Section 5 of the Purchase Agreement; (o) any representation, warranty or other statement made or furnished by or on behalf of Company to Investor in the Initial Pre-Paid Purchase or in any Transaction Document in connection with the issuance of this Pre-Paid Purchase is false, incorrect or incomplete, or, in light of the circumstances under which such representation, warranty, or other statement (as applicable) was made, misleading in any material respect when made or furnished; (p) at any time during the period beginning on the effective date of the Registration Statement and ending on the six (6) month anniversary of the Purchase Price Date, the Registration Statement is suspended, halted, declared ineffective or otherwise unavailable for the Purchase Shares to be sold for a period of more than thirty (30) days; and (q) the Company or any subsidiary of the Company, breaches any material covenant or other material term or condition contained in any Other Agreements.

Request of Additional Pre-Paid Purchases

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company may, at its sole and absolute discretion, at any time and from time to time during the Commitment Period, subject to the satisfaction of closing conditions, request a Pre-Paid Purchase in an amount no more than the Maximum Purchase Amount and no less than $250,000 from the Investor by providing a written notice of such request to Investor (each, a “Request”). The closing of each Pre-Paid Purchase will take place on or before the third (3rd) Trading Day following the date of such Request (the date of the closing of each Pre-Paid Purchase, the “Pre-Paid Purchase Date”). Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement as of such Pre-Paid Purchase Date, the Investor shall pay to Company the amount set forth in such Request (which amount shall serve as the purchase price of such Pre-Paid Purchase) in immediately available funds to an account designated by Company in writing on each Pre-Paid Purchase Date (except in respect of the Initial Pre-Paid Purchase, which shall be paid on the Closing Date) immediately following delivery of the applicable fully executed Pre-Paid Purchase in a form substantially similar to the Initial Pre-Paid Purchase, except as noted in the Purchase Agreement. Each Pre-Paid Purchase will be considered a separate instrument with a separate outstanding balance and holding period. The original issue discount for each subsequent Pre-Paid Purchase after the Initial Pre-Paid Purchase will be eight and one-half percent (8.5%) of the amount set forth in the applicable Request, and each subsequent Pre-Paid Purchase will accrue interest at the rate of eight and one-half percent (8.5%) per annum. The floor price per share of Common Stock of each subsequent Pre-Paid Purchase will be twenty percent (20%) of the Nasdaq Minimum Price on the Pre-Paid Purchase Date, subject to another floor price for purposes of compliance with the Listing Rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC. Other than the principal balance and certain other terms, the terms of any additional Pre-Paid Purchase will be substantially similar to the terms of the Initial Pre-Paid Advance.

Repurchase of Pre-Delivery Shares

If there is no Pre-Paid Purchase Outstanding Balance and the Commitment Period has ended, the Company may repurchase the Pre-Delivery Shares upon a written request delivered to the Investor within thirty (30) Trading Days of the later of both such events, and within thirty (30) Trading Days of such written request from the Company, the Investor shall deliver to Company a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Pre-Delivery Shares (as adjusted for any share splits, share dividends, share combinations, recapitalizations or other similar transactions occurring after the date hereof) delivered to Investor hereunder, and Company will pay Investor $0.0001 for each such Pre-Delivery Share prior to the Investor’s delivery of such shares.

Participation Right

The Company granted to the Investor a participation right in which the Investor has the right to participate, at the Investor’s discretion and during the Commitment Period, in up to twenty-five percent (25%) of the amount sold in any debt or equity financing (the “Participation Right”). Within two (2) Trading Days prior to the consummation of a financing (provided, however, that with respect to any public offering of the Company’s securities, the aforementioned time frame shall instead be upon the commencement of offers to the public), the Company will provide the Investor with written notice of the consummation of such financing, along with copies of the transaction documents. The Investor will then have up to five (5) Trading Days to elect to purchase up to twenty-five percent (25%) of the amount of debt or equity securities issued in such transaction on the most favorable terms and conditions offered to any other purchaser of the same securities. The Parties agreed that if the Company breaches its obligations with respect to the Participation Right, the Investor’s sole and exclusive remedy is to receive liquidated damages.

Weekly Sales Cap

The Investor agreed that, so long as no event of default has occurred under any Pre-Paid Purchase, it will not sell, during any calendar week, shares of Common Stock in an amount exceeding fifteen percent (15%) of the total weekly dollar trading volume of the Common Stock on all trading markets for such week.

Covenants; Indemnification; Representations and Warranties

The Company agreed that it shall not enter into any agreement or otherwise agree to any covenant, condition, or obligation that locks up, restricts in any way or otherwise prohibits Company: (1) from entering into a Variable Rate Transaction with the Investor or any affiliate of the Investor, or (2) from issuing Common Stock, preferred stock, warrants, convertible notes, Pre-Paid Purchases, other debt securities, or any other Company securities to the Investor or any affiliate of the Investor, in each case without first obtaining the prior written consent of the Investor, which may be granted or withheld in the Investor’s sole and absolute discretion.

41

In addition, the Company agreed to file a registration statement on Form S-1 (the “Initial Registration Statement”) registering at least 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock for their resale. The Company agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Initial Registration Statement to be deemed effective by the SEC as soon as possible after the Initial Registration Statement’s filing. The Company also agreed to prepare and file with the SEC a preliminary Information Statement on Schedule 14C relating to the majority shareholders’ approval of the potential issuance of shares to the Investor in excess of the requirements of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d).

The Company agreed to reserve 8,000,000 shares of Common Stock from its authorized and unissued Common Stock to provide for all issuances of Common Stock under the Purchase Agreement and all Pre-Paid Purchases (the “Share Reserve”). The Company also further agreed to add additional Common Stock to the Share Reserve in increments of 100,000 shares of Common Stock as and when requested by Investor if as of the date of any such request the number of shares being held in the Share Reserve is less than three (3) times the number of Common Stock equal to the Pre-Paid Purchase Outstanding Balance divided by the Purchase Share Purchase Price.

The Parties also agreed to other customary covenants, closing conditions, indemnification provisions and made customary representations and warranties.

Termination

The Company has the right to terminate the Purchase Agreement upon ten (10) days’ prior written notice to the Investor so long as no Pre-Paid Purchases are outstanding.

Guaranties, Security Agreement and Pledge Agreement

AGA and Pacific Sun each entered into a Guaranty for the benefit of Investor (each of AGA and Pacific Sun, in its capacity as a guaranty under the applicable Guaranty, a “Guarantor”). Pursuant to each Guaranty, the Guarantor agreed to absolutely and unconditionally guaranty the prompt payment in full of the Obligations.

Pursuant to the Security Agreement and the Pledge Agreement, the Company’s obligations under the Pre-Paid Purchases and the other Transaction Documents are secured by: (i) the Collateral, which includes the assets of AGA and Pacific Sun; and (ii) the equity interests in AGA and Pacific Sun. The Investor has a first-position security interest (“Security Interest”) in all right, title, interest, claims, and demands of the Company in and to the Collateral, which Security Interest is subordinate only to Permitted Liens.

The Company agreed not to grant or create any security interest, claim, transfer restriction, lien, pledge or other encumbrance with respect to the Collateral or attempt to or actually sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of the Collateral, until the Secured Obligations have been paid and performed in full.

The foregoing descriptions of each of the Purchase Agreement, the Initial Pre-Paid Purchase, the Guaranty, the Security Agreement, and the Pledge Agreement do not purport to be complete and are each qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the forms of the Purchase Agreement, the Initial Pre-Paid Purchase, the Guaranty, the Security Agreement, and the Pledge Agreement, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, 10.4, and 10.5, respectively, to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on September 29, 2025, which are incorporated herein by reference.

(bb) “Share” means a share of the Common Stock, as adjusted in accordance with Section 12 of the Plan.

(cc) “Subsidiary” means a “subsidiary corporation,” whether now or hereafter existing, as defined in Code Section 424(f).

3. Stock Subject to the Plan.

(a) Stock Subject to the Plan. Subject to the provisions of Section 12 of the Plan, the maximum aggregate number of Shares that may be subject to Awards and sold under the Plan is [*] Shares. The Shares may be authorized but unissued, or reacquired Common Stock.

(b) Lapsed Awards. If an Award expires or becomes unexercisable without having been exercised in full, is surrendered pursuant to an Exchange Program, or, with respect to Restricted Stock, is forfeited to or repurchased by the Company due to the failure to vest, the unpurchased Shares (or for Awards other than Options the forfeited or repurchased Shares) which were subject thereto will become available for future grant or sale under the Plan (unless the Plan has terminated). Shares that have actually been issued under the Plan under any Award will not be returned to the Plan and will not become available for future distribution under the Plan; provided, however, that if Shares issued pursuant to Awards of Restricted Stock are repurchased by the Company or are forfeited to the Company due to the failure to vest, such Shares will become available for future grant under the Plan. Shares used to pay the exercise price of an Award or to satisfy the tax withholding obligations related to an Award will become available for future grant or sale under the Plan. To the extent an Award under the Plan is paid out in cash rather than Shares, such cash payment will not result in reducing the number of Shares available for issuance under the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing and, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 12, the maximum number of Shares that may be issued upon the exercise of Incentive Stock Options will equal the aggregate Share number stated in Section 3(a), plus, to the extent allowable under Code Section 422 and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, any Shares that become available for issuance under the Plan pursuant to this Section 3(b).

(c) Share Reserve. The Company, during the term of this Plan, will at all times reserve and keep available such number of Shares as will be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Plan, provided that: (i) on the Effective Date, the Company shall reserve and keep available for issuance under this Plan no less than twenty five percent (25%) of the Shares issued and outstanding as of the Effective Date; (ii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Plan, on January 1 of each calendar year after the Effective Date, the number of shares of Common Stock reserved and available for issuance under this Plan will automatically increase by an amount equal to the lesser of: (A) ten percent (10%) of the Shares issued and outstanding as of January 1 of the applicable calendar year; and (B) such lesser amount as determined by the Board, in its sole discretion; and (iii) on the occurrence of any event set forth in Section 12, the number of Shares reserved and available for issuance under this Plan will be adjusted pursuant to the terms of Section 12. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3(c) and subject to Section 17(b), any increases to the Shares reserved and issuable under this Plan other than as set forth in subclauses 3(c)(ii) and 3(c)(iii) herein will require stockholder approval.

A-4

4. Administration of the Plan.

(a) Procedure. The Plan will be administered by (A) the Compensation Committee or (B) the Board, if the Compensation Committee does not exist, and in any event, the Administrator shall administer the Plan in compliance with Applicable Laws.

(b) Powers of the Administrator. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, and in the case of the Compensation Committee, subject to the specific duties delegated by the Board to the Compensation Committee, the Administrator will have the authority, in its discretion:

(i) to determine the Fair Market Value;

(ii) to select the Service Providers to whom Awards may be granted hereunder;

(iii) to determine the number of Shares to be covered by each Award granted hereunder;

(iv) to approve forms of Award Agreements for use under the Plan;

(v) to determine the terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, of any Award granted hereunder. Such terms and conditions include, but are not limited to, the exercise price, the time or times when Awards may be exercised (which may be based on performance criteria), any vesting acceleration or waiver of forfeiture restrictions, and any restriction or limitation regarding any Award or the Shares relating thereto, based in each case on such factors as the Administrator will determine;

(vi) to institute and determine the terms and conditions of an Exchange Program;

(vii) to construe and interpret the terms of the Plan and Awards granted pursuant to the Plan;

(viii) to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan, including rules and regulations relating to sub-plans established for the purpose of satisfying applicable foreign laws or for qualifying for favorable tax treatment under applicable foreign laws;

(ix) to modify or amend each Award (subject to Section 17(c)), including but not limited to the discretionary authority to extend the post-termination exercisability period of Awards and to extend the maximum term of an Option (subject to Section 6(d));

(x) to allow Participants to satisfy withholding tax obligations in a manner prescribed in Section 13;

(xi) to authorize any person to execute on behalf of the Company any instrument required to effect the grant of an Award previously granted by the Administrator;

(xii) to allow a Participant to defer the receipt of the payment of cash or the delivery of Shares that otherwise would be due to such Participant under an Award; and

(xiii) to make all other determinations deemed necessary or advisable for administering the Plan.

(c) Effect of Administrator’s Decision. The Administrator’s decisions, determinations and interpretations will be final and binding on all Participants and any other holders of Awards.

5. Eligibility. Non-statutory Stock Options, Restricted Stock, and Restricted Stock Units may be granted to Service Providers. Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to Employees.

A-5

6. Stock Options.

(a) Grant of Options. Subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan, the Administrator, at any time and from time to time, may grant Options in such amounts as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, will determine.

(b) Option Agreement. Each Award of an Option will be evidenced by an Award Agreement that will specify the exercise price, the term of the Option, the number of Shares subject to the Option, the exercise restrictions, if any, applicable to the Option, and such other terms and conditions as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, will determine.

(c) Limitations. Each Option will be designated in the Award Agreement as either an Incentive Stock Option or a Non-statutory Stock Option. Notwithstanding such designation, however, to the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by the Participant during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company and any Parent or Subsidiary) exceeds one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000), such Options will be treated as Non-statutory Stock Options. For purposes of this Section 6(c), Incentive Stock Options will be taken into account in the order in which they were granted, the Fair Market Value of the Shares will be determined as of the time the Option with respect to such Shares is granted, and calculation will be performed in accordance with Code Section 422 and Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder.

(d) Term of Option. The term of each Option will be stated in the Award Agreement; provided, however, that the term will be no more than five (5) years from the date of grant thereof. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a Participant who, at the time the Incentive Stock Option is granted, owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the term of the Incentive Stock Option will be five (5) years from the date of grant or such shorter term as may be provided in the Award Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Plan, the exercise price of the Option may not be amended without approval of the Company’s shareholders and such amendment(s), if any, shall comply with Applicable Laws.

(e) Option Exercise Price and Consideration.

(i) Exercise Price. The per Share exercise price for the Shares to be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Option will be determined by the Administrator, but will be no less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant. In addition, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to an Employee who owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the per Share exercise price will be no less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6(e)(i), Options may be granted with a per Share exercise price of less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant pursuant to a transaction described in, and in a manner consistent with, Code Section 424(a).

(ii) Waiting Period and Exercise Dates. At the time an Option is granted, the Administrator will fix the period within which the Option may be exercised and will determine any conditions that must be satisfied before the Option may be exercised.

(iii) Form of Consideration. The Administrator will determine the acceptable form of consideration for exercising an Option, including the method of payment. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option, the Administrator will determine the acceptable form of consideration at the time of grant. Such consideration may consist entirely of: (1) cash; (2) check; (3) promissory note, to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws; (4) other Shares, provided that such Shares have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Shares as to which such Option will be exercised and provided further that accepting such Shares will not result in any adverse accounting consequences to the Company, as the Administrator determines in its sole discretion; (5) consideration received by the Company under cashless exercise program (whether through a broker or otherwise) implemented by the Company in connection with the Plan; (6) by net exercise; (7) such other consideration and method of payment for the issuance of Shares to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws; or (8) any combination of the foregoing methods of payment. In making its determination as to the type of consideration to accept, the Administrator will consider if acceptance of such consideration may be reasonably expected to benefit the Company.

A-6

(f) Exercise of Option.

(i) Procedure for Exercise; Rights as a Stockholder. Any Option granted hereunder will be exercisable according to the terms of the Plan and at such times and under such conditions as determined by the Administrator and set forth in the Award Agreement. An Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a Share.

An Option will be deemed exercised when the Company receives: (i) notice of exercise (in such form as the Administrator may specify from time to time) from the person entitled to exercise the Option, and (ii) full payment for the Shares with respect to which the Option is exercised (together with applicable tax withholding). Full payment may consist of any consideration and method of payment authorized by the Administrator and permitted by the Award Agreement and the Plan. Shares issued upon exercise of an Option will be issued in the name of the Participant or, if requested by the Participant, in the name of the Participant and his or her spouse. Until the Shares are issued (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company), no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a stockholder will exist with respect to the Shares subject to an Option, notwithstanding the exercise of the Option. The Company will issue (or cause to be issued) such Shares promptly after the Option is exercised. No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date the Shares are issued, except as provided in Section 11.

Exercising an Option in any manner will decrease the number of Shares thereafter available, both for purposes of the Plan and for sale under the Option, by the number of Shares as to which the Option is exercised.

(ii) Termination of Relationship as a Service Provider. Unless otherwise provided by the Administrator, if a Participant ceases to be a Service Provider, other than upon the Participant’s termination as the result of the Participant’s death or Disability, any unvested portion of any applicable Awards will be forfeited and Shares covered by any vested portion of the applicable Awards that have not been issued to the Participant or its designees, as applicable, pursuant to the exercise or settlement thereof during the period beginning on the date of cessation of the Participant as a Service Provider until three (3) months thereafter will revert to the Plan Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence in this Section 6(f)(ii), if the Service Provider is terminated for Cause, any Award issued to such terminated Service Provider will be forfeited, regardless of any vested or unvested portion of such Award, and in the case of such forfeiture, the Shares covered by the Award will revert to the Plan.

(iii) Disability of Participant. Unless otherwise provided by the Administrator, if a Participant ceases to be a Service Provider as a result of the Participant’s Disability, (A) the vested portion of the Option shall remain exercisable for the amount set forth in the Award Agreement (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of the Option as set forth in the Award Agreement), and if no time is specified in the Award Agreement, the vested portion of the Option shall remain exercisable for twelve (12) months following the Participant’s termination, and (B) the unvested portion shall remain exercisable for three (3) months following the Participant’s termination due to Disability, and after such three (3) months the Shares underlying the unvested portion of the Option will be forfeited and revert to the Plan. If after termination the Participant does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified herein, the Option will terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option will revert to the Plan.

(iv) Death of Participant. Unless otherwise provided by the Administrator, if a Participant dies while a Service Provider, the Option may be exercised within such period of time as is specified in the Award Agreement (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Award Agreement) to the extent that the Option is vested on the date of death, by the Participant’s designated beneficiary, provided such beneficiary has been designated prior to the Participant’s death in a form acceptable to the Administrator. If no such beneficiary has been designated by the Participant, then such Option may be exercised by the personal representative of the Participant’s estate or by the person(s) to whom the Option is transferred pursuant to the Participant’s will or in accordance with the laws of descent and distribution. In the absence of a specified time in the Award Agreement, the Option shall remain exercisable for twelve (12) months following the Participant’s termination. Unless otherwise provided by the Administrator, if at the time of death Participant is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option will immediately revert to the Plan. If the Option is not so exercised within the time specified herein, the Option will terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option will revert to the Plan.

A-7

(g) Repricing of Options.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Plan, the terms of outstanding Awards may be amended without shareholder approval to reduce the exercise price of outstanding Options, or to cancel outstanding Options in exchange for cash, other Awards, or Options with an exercise price that is less than the exercise price of the original Option to the extent permitted by applicable law or the listing rules of the applicable trading market.

7. Restricted Stock.

(a) Grant of Restricted Stock. Subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan, the Administrator, at any time and from time to time, may grant Shares of Restricted Stock to Service Providers in such amounts as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, will determine.

(b) Restricted Stock Agreement. Each Award of Restricted Stock will be evidenced by an Award Agreement that will specify the Period of Restriction, the number of Shares granted, and such other terms and conditions as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, will determine. Unless the Administrator determines otherwise, the Company as escrow agent will hold Shares of Restricted Stock until the restrictions on such Shares have lapsed.

(c) Transferability. Except as provided in this Section 7 or as the Administrator determines, Shares of Restricted Stock may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated until the end of the applicable Period of Restriction.

(d) Other Restrictions. The Administrator, in its sole discretion, may impose such other restrictions on Shares of Restricted Stock as it may deem advisable or appropriate.

(e) Removal of Restrictions. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 7, Shares of Restricted Stock covered by each Restricted Stock grant made under the Plan will be released from escrow as soon as practicable after the last day of the Period of Restriction or at such other time as the Administrator may determine. The Administrator, in its discretion, may accelerate the time at which any restrictions will lapse or be removed.

(f) Voting Rights. During the Period of Restriction, Service Providers holding Shares of Restricted Stock granted hereunder may exercise full voting rights with respect to those Shares, unless the Administrator determines otherwise.

(g) Dividends and Other Distributions. During the Period of Restriction, Service Providers holding Shares of Restricted Stock will be entitled to receive all dividends and other distributions paid with respect to such Shares, unless the Administrator provides otherwise. If any such dividends or distributions are paid in Shares, the Shares will be subject to the same restrictions on transferability and forfeitability as the Shares of Restricted Stock with respect to which they were paid.

(h) Return of Restricted Stock to Company. On the date set forth in the Award Agreement, the Restricted Stock for which restrictions have not lapsed will revert to the Company and again will become available for grant under the Plan.

8. Restricted Stock Units.

(a) Grant of Restricted Stock Units. Subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan, the Administrator, at any time and from time to time, may grant Restricted Stock Units to Service Providers in such amounts as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, will determine.

(b) Restricted Stock Unit Agreement. Each Award of Restricted Stock Units will be evidenced by an Award Agreement that will specify the terms, conditions, and restrictions (if any) related to the grant, including the number of Restricted Stock Units.

A-8

(c) Vesting Criteria and Other Terms. The Administrator will set vesting criteria in its discretion, which, depending on the extent to which the criteria are met, will determine the number of Restricted Stock Units that will be paid out to the Participant. A Restricted Stock Unit Award may vest upon completion of a specified period of service with the Company or a Subsidiary and/or based on the achievement of certain performance goals during the applicable performance period, as set forth in the Participant’s Award Agreement. If Restricted Stock Units vest based upon satisfaction of performance goals, then the Administrator will: (x) determine the nature, length and starting date of any performance period for the Restricted Stock Units; (y) select the performance goals to be used to measure the performance; and (z) determine what additional vesting conditions, if any, should apply.

(d) Earning Restricted Stock Units. Upon meeting the applicable vesting criteria, the Participant will be entitled to receive a payout as determined by the Administrator. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time after the grant of Restricted Stock Units, the Administrator, in its sole discretion, may reduce or waive any vesting criteria that must be met to receive a payout.

(e) Dividend Equivalents. The Administrator may, in its sole discretion, award dividend equivalents in connection with the grant of Restricted Stock Units that may be settled in cash, in Shares of equivalent value, or in some combination thereof.

(f) Form and Timing of Payment. Payment of earned Restricted Stock Units will be made upon the date(s) determined by the Administrator and set forth in the Award Agreement. The Administrator, in its sole discretion, may only settle earned Restricted Stock Units in cash, Shares, or a combination of both.

(g) Cancellation. On the date set forth in the Award Agreement, all Shares underlying any unvested, unlapsed, unearned Restricted Stock Units will be forfeited to the Company for future issuance.

9. Compliance With Code Section 409A. Awards will be designed and operated in such a manner that they are either exempt from the application of, or comply with, the requirements of Code Section 409A, except as otherwise determined in the sole discretion of the Administrator. The Plan and each Award Agreement under the Plan is intended to be exempt from the requirements of Code Section 409A and will be construed and interpreted in accordance with such intent, except as otherwise determined in the sole discretion of the Administrator. To the extent that an Award or payment, or the settlement or deferral thereof, is subject to Code Section 409A the Award will be granted, paid, settled or deferred in a manner that will meet the requirements of Code Section 409A, such that the grant, payment, settlement or deferral will not be subject to the additional tax or interest applicable under Code Section 409A.

10. Leaves of Absence/Transfer Between Locations. Unless the Administrator provides otherwise, vesting of Awards granted hereunder will be suspended during any unpaid leave of absence. A Participant will not cease to be an Employee in the case of (i) any leave of absence approved by the Company or (ii) transfers between locations of the Company or between the Company, its Parent, or any Subsidiary. For purposes of Incentive Stock Options, no such leave may exceed three (3) months, unless reemployment upon expiration of such leave is guaranteed by statute or contract. If reemployment upon expiration of a leave of absence approved by the Company is not so guaranteed, then six (6) months following the first (1^st) day of such leave, any Incentive Stock Option held by the Participant will cease to be treated as an Incentive Stock Option and will be treated for tax purposes as a Non-statutory Stock Option.

11. Limited Transferability of Awards. Unless determined otherwise by the Administrator, Awards may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, or otherwise transferred in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and may be exercised, during the lifetime of the Participant, only by the Participant.

12. Adjustments; Dissolution or Liquidation; Merger or Change in Control.

(a) Adjustments. In the event that any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Shares, other securities, or other property), recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase, or exchange of Shares or other securities of the Company, or other change in the corporate structure of the Company affecting the Shares occurs, the Administrator, in order to prevent diminution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan, the Company will adjust the number and class of Shares that is reserved and issuable under the Plan and/or the number, class, and price of Shares covered by each outstanding Award.

A-9

(b) Dissolution or Liquidation. In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Administrator will notify each Participant as soon as practicable prior to the effective date of such proposed transaction. To the extent it has not been previously exercised, an Award will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action.

(c) Merger or Change in Control. In the event of a merger or Change in Control, each outstanding Award will be treated as the Administrator determines (subject to the provisions of the following paragraph) without a Participant’s consent including, without limitation, that: (i) Awards will be assumed, or substantially equivalent Awards will be substituted, by the acquiring or succeeding corporation (or an affiliate thereof) with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of shares and prices; (ii) upon written notice to a Participant, that the Participant’s Awards will terminate upon or immediately prior to the consummation of such merger or Change in Control; (iii) outstanding Awards will vest and become exercisable, realizable, or payable, or restrictions applicable to an Award will lapse, in whole or in part prior to or upon consummation of such merger or Change in Control, and, to the extent the Administrator determines, terminate upon or immediately prior to the effectiveness of such merger or Change in Control; (iv) (A) the termination of an Award in exchange for an amount of cash and/or property, if any, equal to the amount that would have been attained upon the exercise of such Award or realization of the Participant’s rights as of the date of the occurrence of the transaction (and, for the avoidance of doubt, if as of the date of the occurrence of the transaction the Administrator determines in good faith that no amount would have been attained upon the exercise of such Award or realization of the Participant’s rights, then such Award may be terminated by the Company without payment), or (B) the replacement of such Award with other rights or property selected by the Administrator in its sole discretion; or (v) any combination of the foregoing. In taking any of the actions permitted under this Section 12(c), the Administrator will not be obligated to treat all Awards, all Awards held by a Participant, or all Awards of the same type, similarly.

In the event that the successor corporation does not assume or substitute for the Award (or portion thereof), the Participant will fully vest in and have the right to exercise all of his or her outstanding Options, including Shares as to which such Awards would not otherwise be vested or exercisable, all restrictions on Restricted Stock will lapse, and, with respect to Awards with performance-based vesting, all performance goals or other vesting criteria will be deemed achieved at one hundred percent (100%) of target levels and all other terms and conditions met. In addition, if an Option is not assumed or substituted in the event of a merger or Change in Control, the Administrator will notify the Participant in writing or electronically that the Option will be exercisable for a period of time determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion, and the Option will terminate upon the expiration of such period.

For the purposes of this Section 12(c), an Award will be considered assumed if, following the merger or Change in Control, the Award confers the right to purchase or receive, for each Share subject to the Award immediately prior to the merger or Change in Control, the consideration (whether stock, cash, or other securities or property) received in the merger or Change in Control by holders of Common Stock for each Share held on the effective date of the transaction (and if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares); provided, however, that if such consideration received in the merger or Change in Control is not solely common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent, the Administrator may, with the consent of the successor corporation, provide for the consideration to be received upon the exercise of an Option, for each Share subject to such Award, to be solely common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent equal in fair market value to the per share consideration received by holders of Common Stock in the merger or Change in Control.

Notwithstanding anything in this Section 12(c) to the contrary, an Award that vests, is earned or paid-out upon the satisfaction of one or more performance goals will not be considered assumed if the Company or its successor modifies any of such performance goals without the Participant’s consent; provided, however, a modification to such performance goals only to reflect the successor corporation’s post-Change in Control corporate structure will not be deemed to invalidate an otherwise valid Award assumption.

Notwithstanding anything in this Section 12(c) to the contrary, if a payment under an Award Agreement is subject to Code Section 409A and if the change in control definition contained in the Award Agreement does not comply with the definition of “change of control” for purposes of a distribution under Code Section 409A, then any payment of an amount that is otherwise accelerated under this Section 12 will be delayed until the earliest time that such payment would be permissible under Code Section 409A without triggering any penalties applicable under Code Section 409A.

A-10

13. Tax Withholding.

(a) Withholding Requirements. Prior to the delivery of any Shares or cash pursuant to an Award (or exercise thereof), the Company will have the power and the right to deduct or withhold, or require a Participant to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state, local, foreign or other taxes (including the Participant’s FICA obligation) required to be withheld with respect to such Award (or exercise thereof).

(b) Withholding Arrangements. The Administrator, in its sole discretion and pursuant to such procedures as it may specify from time to time, may permit a Participant to satisfy such tax withholding obligation, in whole or in part by (without limitation) (i) paying cash, (ii) electing to have the Company withhold otherwise deliverable Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the minimum statutory amount required to be withheld, (iii) delivering to the Company already-owned Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the statutory amount required to be withheld, provided the delivery of such Shares will not result in any adverse accounting consequences, as the Administrator determines in its sole discretion, or (iv) selling a sufficient number of Shares otherwise deliverable to the Participant through such means as the Administrator may determine in its sole discretion (whether through a broker or otherwise) equal to the amount required to be withheld. The amount of the withholding requirement will be deemed to include any amount which the Administrator agrees may be withheld at the time the election is made, not to exceed the amount determined by using the maximum federal, state or local marginal income tax rates applicable to the Participant with respect to the Award on the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is to be determined. The Fair Market Value of the Shares to be withheld or delivered will be determined as of the date that the taxes are required to be withheld.

14. No Effect on Employment or Service. Neither the Plan nor any Award will confer upon a Participant any right with respect to continuing the Participant’s relationship as a Service Provider with the Company, nor will they interfere in any way with the Participant’s right or the Company’s right to terminate such relationship at any time, with or without cause, to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws.

15. Date of Grant. The date of grant of an Award will be, for all purposes, the date on which the Administrator makes the determination granting such Award, or such other later date as is determined by the Administrator. Notice of the determination will be provided to each Participant within a reasonable time after the date of such grant.

16. Term of Plan. Subject to Section 20, the Plan will become effective upon its adoption by the Board. Unless sooner terminated under Section 17, it will continue in effect for a term of ten (10) years from the later of (a) the effective date of the Plan or (b) the earlier of the most recent Board or stockholder approval of an increase in the number of Shares reserved for issuance under the Plan.

17. Amendment and Termination of the Plan.

(a) Amendment and Termination. The Board may at any time amend, alter, suspend or terminate the Plan.

(b) Stockholder Approval. The Company shall obtain stockholder approval of any Plan amendment to the extent necessary and desirable to comply with Applicable Laws. Additionally, the Company shall obtain stockholder approval for each of the following: (i) increases to the Shares reserved and issuable under the Plan other than as set forth in Section 3(c)(ii) to 3(c)(iii) of this Plan; (ii) any changes to the applicable prices Participants pay for applicable Awards made under this Plan, provided, however, that the terms of outstanding Awards may be amended without shareholder approval to reduce the exercise price of outstanding Options, or to cancel outstanding Options in exchange for cash, other Awards, or Options with an exercise price that is less than the exercise price of the original Option, pursuant to Section 6(g); (iii) changes to the Plan which would expand eligibility for Participant or potential Participants’ Awards; (iv) changes to the Plan which would materially increase Participants’ or potential Participants’ benefits available under the Plan; and (v) changes to the Plan which would expand the types of Awards provided under the Plan.

A-11

(c) Effect of Amendment or Termination. No amendment, alteration, suspension or termination of the Plan will impair the rights of any Participant, unless mutually agreed otherwise between the Participant and the Administrator, which agreement must be in writing and signed by the Participant and the Company. Termination of the Plan will not affect the Administrator’s ability to exercise the powers granted to it hereunder with respect to Awards granted under the Plan prior to the date of such termination.

18. Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares.

(a) Legal Compliance. Shares will not be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Award unless the exercise of such Award and the issuance and delivery of such Shares will comply with Applicable Laws and will be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance.

(b) Investment Representations. As a condition to the exercise of an Award, the Company may require the person exercising such Award to represent and warrant at the time of any such exercise that the Shares are being purchased only for investment and without any present intention to sell or distribute such Shares if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such a representation is required.

19. Inability to Obtain Authority. The inability of the Company to obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which authority is deemed by the Company’s counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Shares hereunder, will relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such Shares as to which such requisite authority will not have been obtained.

20. Stockholder Approval. The Plan will be subject to approval by the stockholders of the Company within twelve (12) months after the date the Plan is adopted by the Board. Such stockholder approval will be obtained in the manner and to the degree required under Applicable Laws.

21. Information to Participants. Beginning on the earlier of (i) the date that the aggregate number of Participants under this Plan is five hundred (500) or more and the Company is relying on the exemption provided by Rule 12h-1(f)(1) under the Exchange Act and (ii) the date that the Company is required to deliver information to Participants pursuant to Rule 701 under the Securities Act, and until such time as the Company becomes subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, is no longer relying on the exemption provided by Rule 12h-1(f)(1) under the Exchange Act or is no longer required to deliver information to Participants pursuant to Rule 701 under the Securities Act, the Company shall provide to each Participant the information described in paragraphs (e)(3), (4), and (5) of Rule 701 under the Securities Act not less frequently than every six (6) months with the financial statements being not more than 180 days old and with such information provided either by physical or electronic delivery to the Participants or by written notice to the Participants of the availability of the information on an Internet site that may be password-protected and of any password needed to access the information. The Company may request that Participants agree to keep the information to be provided pursuant to this Section 20 confidential.

(a) The term of each Option shall be stated in the Award Agreement, provided, however, that the term shall be no more than ten (10) years from the date of grant thereof.

(b) Unless determined otherwise by the Administrator, Awards may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, or otherwise transferred in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and may be exercised, during the lifetime of the Participant, only by the Participant. If the Administrator makes an Award transferable, such Award may only be transferred (i) by will, (ii) by the laws of descent and distribution, or (iii) as permitted by Rule 701 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

(c) If a Participant ceases to be a Service Provider, such Participant may exercise his or her Option within such period of time as specified in the Award Agreement, which shall not be less than thirty (30) days following the date of the Participant’s termination, to the extent that the Option is vested on the date of termination (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of the Option as set forth in the Award Agreement). In the absence of a specified time in the Award Agreement, the Option shall remain exercisable for three (3) months following the Participant’s termination.

(d) If a Participant ceases to be a Service Provider as a result of the Participant’s Disability, the Participant may exercise his or her Option within such period of time as specified in the Award Agreement, which shall be six (6) months following the date of the Participant’s termination, to the extent the Option is vested on the date of termination (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Award Agreement).

In the absence of a specified time in the Award Agreement, the Option shall remain exercisable for twelve (12) months following the Participant’s termination.

(f) No Award shall be granted to a resident of California more than ten (10) years after the earlier of the date of adoption of the Plan or the date the Plan is approved by the stockholders.

(g) In the event that any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Shares, other securities, or other property), recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase, or exchange of Shares or other securities of the Company, or other change in the corporate structure of the Company affecting the Shares occurs, the Administrator, in order to prevent diminution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan, will adjust the number and class of Shares that may be delivered under the Plan and/or the number, class, and price of Shares covered by each outstanding Award; provided, however, that the Administrator will make such adjustments to an Award required by Section 25102(o) of the California Corporations Code to the extent the Company is relying upon the exemption afforded thereby with respect to the Award.

2025 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

FORM OF STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

Unless otherwise defined herein, the terms defined in the 2025 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) shall have the same meanings in this Stock Option Agreement (the “Option Agreement”).

I. NOTICE OF STOCK OPTION GRANT

Name: [●]

Address: [●]

The undersigned Participant has been granted an Option to purchase Common Stock of PMGC Holdings Inc. (the “Company”), subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Option Agreement, as follows:

Date of Grant:
Vesting Commencement Date:
Exercise Price per Share:
Total Number of Shares Granted:
Total Exercise Price:
Type of Option:		Incentive Stock Option
		Non-statutory Stock Option
Term/Expiration Date:

Vesting Schedule:

This Option shall be exercisable, in whole or in part, according to the following vesting schedule:

[●]

Termination Period:

This Option shall be exercisable for three (3) months after Participant ceases to be a Service Provider, unless such termination is due to Participant’s death or Disability, in which case this Option shall be exercisable for twelve (12) months after Participant ceases to be a Service Provider. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, in no event may this Option be exercised after the Term/Expiration Date as provided above and this Option may be subject to earlier termination as provided in Section 13(c) of the Plan. Any exercise of an Incentive Stock Option beyond the periods described above will be deemed to be a Non-statutory Stock Option.

II. AGREEMENT

1. Grant of Option. The Administrator of the Company hereby grants to the Participant named in the Notice of Stock Option Grant in Part I of this Option Agreement (“Participant”), an option (the “Option”) to purchase the number of Shares set forth in the Notice of Stock Option Grant, at the exercise price per Share set forth in the Notice of Stock Option Grant (the “Exercise Price”), and subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, which is incorporated herein by reference. Subject to Section 18(c) of the Plan, in the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Option Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Plan shall prevail.

If designated in the Notice of Stock Option Grant as an Incentive Stock Option (“ISO”), this Option is intended to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option as defined in Section 422 of the Code. Nevertheless, to the extent that it exceeds the $100,000 rule of Code Section 422(d), or other amount set forth in that Code Section, this Option shall be treated as a Non-statutory Stock Option (“NSO”). Further, if for any reason this Option (or portion thereof) shall not qualify as an ISO, then, to the extent of such nonqualification, such Option (or portion thereof) shall be regarded as a NSO granted under the Plan. In no event shall the Administrator, the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary or any of their respective employees or directors have any liability to Participant (or any other person) due to the failure of the Option to qualify for any reason as an ISO.

A-14

2. Exercise of Option.

(a) Right to Exercise. Subject to the Termination Period set forth in the Notice of Option Grant, this Option shall be exercisable during its term in accordance with the Vesting Schedule set out in the Notice of Stock Option Grant and with the applicable provisions of the Plan and this Option Agreement. If application of the applicable vesting percentage causes a fractional share, such share shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share for each month except for the last month in such vesting period, at the end of which last month the Option shall become exercisable for the full remainder of the Shares.

(b) Method of Exercise. This Option shall be exercisable by Participant (or in the case of exercise after the Participant’s death or incapacity, the Participant’s executor, administrator, heir or legatee, as the case may be) by delivery of an exercise notice in the form attached as Exhibit A (the “Exercise Notice”) or in a manner and pursuant to such procedures as the Administrator may determine, which shall state the election to exercise the Option, the number of Shares with respect to which the Option is being exercised (the “Exercised Shares”), and such other representations and agreements as may be required by the Company. The Exercise Notice shall be accompanied by payment of the aggregate Exercise Price as to all Exercised Shares, together with any applicable tax withholding. Simultaneous with the execution and delivery of the Exercise Notice, as requested by the Company, Participant shall also execute and deliver a counterpart signature page or joinder to any shareholders agreement, voting agreement and/or any other similar documentation applicable to the holders of Common Stock of the Company (“Stockholders Agreements”). This Option shall be deemed to be exercised upon receipt by the Company of (i) a fully executed Exercise Notice accompanied by the aggregate Exercise Price, together with any applicable tax withholding, and (ii) a counterpart signature page or joinder to the Stockholders Agreements. No Shares shall be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Option unless such issuance and such exercise comply with Applicable Laws. Assuming such compliance, for income tax purposes the Shares shall be considered transferred to Participant on the date on which the Option is exercised with respect to such Shares.

(c) Limits on Exercise. The Option may not be exercised unless such exercise is in compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws, as they are in effect on the date of exercise. The Option may not be exercised as to fewer than one hundred (100) Shares unless it is exercised as to all Shares as to which the Option is then exercisable.

3. Participant’s Representations. In the event the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, at the time this Option is exercised, Participant shall, if required by the Company, concurrently with the exercise of all or any portion of this Option, deliver to the Company his or her Investment Representation Statement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B.

4. Lock-Up Period. Participant hereby agrees that Participant shall not offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company or enter into any swap, hedging or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company held by Participant (other than those included in the registration) for a period specified by the representative of the underwriters of Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company not to exceed one hundred and eighty (180) days following the effective date of any registration statement of the Company filed under the Securities Act (or such other period as may be requested by the Company or the underwriters to accommodate regulatory restrictions on (i) the publication or other distribution of research reports and (ii) analyst recommendations and opinions, including, but not limited to, the restrictions contained in FINRA Rule 2241(f)(4) or NYSE Rule 472(f)(4), or any successor provisions or amendments thereto).

A-15

Participant agrees to execute and deliver such other agreements as may be reasonably requested by the Company or the underwriter which are consistent with the foregoing or which are necessary to give further effect thereto. In addition, if requested by the Company or the representative of the underwriters of Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company, Participant shall provide, within ten (10) days of such request, such information as may be required by the Company or such representative in connection with the completion of any public offering of the Company’s securities pursuant to a registration statement filed under the Securities Act. The obligations described in this Section 4 shall not apply to a registration relating solely to employee benefit plans on Form S-8 or similar forms that may be promulgated in the future, or a registration relating solely to a Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 145 transaction on Form S-4 or similar forms that may be promulgated in the future. The Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the shares of Common Stock (or other securities) subject to the foregoing restriction until the end of said one hundred and eighty (180) day (or other) period. Participant agrees that any transferee of the Option or shares acquired pursuant to the Option shall be bound by this Section 4.

5. Method of Payment. Payment of the aggregate Exercise Price shall be by any of the following, or a combination thereof, at the election of the Participant:

(a) cash;

(b) check;

(c) consideration received by the Company under a formal cashless exercise program adopted by the Company in connection with the Plan; or

(d) surrender of other Shares which (i) shall be valued at its Fair Market Value on the date of exercise, and (ii) must be owned free and clear of any liens, claims, encumbrances or security interests, if accepting such Shares, in the sole discretion of the Administrator, shall not result in any adverse accounting consequences to the Company.

6. Restrictions on Exercise. This Option may not be exercised until such time as the Plan has been approved by the stockholders of the Company, or if the issuance of such Shares upon such exercise or the method of payment of consideration for such shares would constitute a violation of any Applicable Law. The exercise of this Option may be contingent upon the Participant’s execution and delivery of any right of first refusal and co-sale agreement, stockholders agreement and/or any similar agreement as the Company may require in its sole discretion.

7. Non-Transferability of Option. This Option (and, prior to exercise, the Shares subject to this Option) may not be pledged, hypothecated or otherwise transferred or disposed of in any manner, including by entering into any short position, any “put equivalent position” or any “call equivalent position” (as defined in Rule 16a-1(h) and Rule 16a-1(b) of the Exchange Act, respectively), other than (i) by will or the laws of descent or distribution or (ii) to persons who are “family members” (as defined in Rule 701(c)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) through gifts or domestic relations orders. This Option may be exercised during the lifetime of Participant only by Participant.

8. Term of Option. This Option may be exercised only within the term set out in the Notice of Stock Option Grant, and may be exercised during such term only in accordance with the Plan and the terms of this Option.

9. Tax Obligations.

(a) Tax Withholding. Participant agrees to make appropriate arrangements with the Company (or the Parent or Subsidiary employing or retaining Participant) for the satisfaction of all federal, state, local and foreign income and employment tax withholding requirements applicable to the Option exercise. Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Company may refuse to honor the exercise and refuse to deliver the Shares if such withholding amounts are not delivered at the time of exercise.

(b) Notice of Disqualifying Disposition of ISO Shares. If the Option granted to Participant herein is an ISO, and if Participant sells or otherwise disposes of any of the Shares acquired pursuant to the ISO on or before the later of (i) the date two (2) years after the Date of Grant, or (ii) the date one (1) year after the date of exercise, Participant shall immediately notify the Company in writing of such disposition. Participant agrees that Participant may be subject to income tax withholding by the Company on the compensation income recognized by Participant because of the early disposition by payment in cash or out of current wages or other compensation payable to the Participant.

A-16

(c) Code Section 409A. Under Code Section 409A, an Option that vests after December 31, 2004 (or that vested on or prior to such date but which was materially modified after October 3, 2004) that was granted with a per Share exercise price that is determined by the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) to be less than the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant (a “discount option”) may be considered “deferred compensation.” An Option that is a “discount option” may result in (i) income recognition by Participant prior to the exercise of the Option, (ii) an additional twenty percent (20%) federal income tax, and (iii) potential penalty and interest charges. The “discount option” may also result in additional state income, penalty and interest tax to the Participant. Participant acknowledges that the Company cannot and has not guaranteed that the IRS will agree that the per Share exercise price of this Option equals or exceeds the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant in a later examination. Participant agrees that if the IRS determines that the Option was granted with a per Share exercise price that was less than the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant, Participant shall be solely responsible for Participant’s costs, including state and federal taxes, related to such a determination.

10. Company’s Right of First Refusal. Before any Shares held by Participant or any transferee (either being sometimes referred to herein as the “Holder”) may be sold or otherwise transferred (including transfer by gift or operation of law), the Company or its assignee(s) shall have a right of first refusal to purchase the Shares on the terms and conditions set forth in Section 7 (the “Right of First Refusal”) of the Exercise Notice.

11. Stockholders Agreement. Participant shall not be permitted to assign any Shares except in compliance with the terms, conditions and restrictions set forth in the Stockholders Agreement.

12. Privileges of Stock Ownership. The Participant shall not have any of the rights of a stockholder with respect to any Shares until the Shares are issued to the Participant.

13. Entire Agreement; Governing Law. The Plan is incorporated herein by reference. The Plan and this Option Agreement constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company and Participant with respect to the subject matter hereof, and may not be modified adversely to the Participant’s interest except by means of a writing signed by the Company and Participant. This Option Agreement is governed by the internal substantive laws but not the choice of law rules of New York.

14. No Guarantee of Continued Service. PARTICIPANT ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE VESTING OF SHARES PURSUANT TO THE VESTING SCHEDULE HEREOF IS EARNED ONLY BY CONTINUING AS A SERVICE PROVIDER AT THE WILL OF THE COMPANY (OR THE PARENT OR SUBSIDIARY EMPLOYING OR RETAINING PARTICIPANT) AND NOT THROUGH THE ACT OF BEING HIRED, BEING GRANTED THIS OPTION OR ACQUIRING SHARES HEREUNDER. PARTICIPANT FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THIS OPTION AGREEMENT, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER AND THE VESTING SCHEDULE SET FORTH HEREIN DO NOT CONSTITUTE AN EXPRESS OR IMPLIED PROMISE OF CONTINUED ENGAGEMENT AS A SERVICE PROVIDER FOR THE VESTING PERIOD, FOR ANY PERIOD, OR AT ALL, AND SHALL NOT INTERFERE IN ANY WAY WITH PARTICIPANT’S RIGHT OR THE RIGHT OF THE COMPANY (OR THE PARENT OR SUBSIDIARY EMPLOYING OR RETAINING PARTICIPANT) TO TERMINATE PARTICIPANT’S RELATIONSHIP AS A SERVICE PROVIDER AT ANY TIME, WITH OR WITHOUT CAUSE.

Until the issuance of the Shares (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company), no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a stockholder shall exist with respect to the Common Stock subject to an Award, notwithstanding the exercise of the Option. The Shares shall be issued to Participant as soon as practicable after the Option is exercised in accordance with the Option Agreement. No adjustment shall be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date of issuance except as provided in Section 12 of the Plan.

7. Company’s Right of First Refusal. Before any Shares held by Participant or any transferee (either being sometimes referred to herein as the “Holder”) may be sold or otherwise transferred (including transfer by gift or operation of law), the Company or its assignee(s) shall have a right of first refusal to purchase the Shares on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 7 (the “Right of First Refusal”).

(a) Notice of Proposed Transfer. The Holder of the Shares shall deliver to the Company a written notice (the “Notice”) stating: (i) the Holder’s bona fide intention to sell or otherwise transfer such Shares; (ii) the name and address of each proposed purchaser or other transferee (“Proposed Transferee”); (iii) the number of Shares to be transferred to each Proposed Transferee; and (iv) the bona fide cash price or other consideration for which the Holder proposes to transfer the Shares (the “Offered Price”), and (v) that the Holder acknowledges that the Notice is an offer to sell the Shares at the Offered Price to the Company or its assignee(s).

(b) Exercise of Right of First Refusal. At any time within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Notice, the Company and/or its assignee(s) may, by giving written notice to the Holder, elect to purchase all, but not less than all or with the consent of Holder, less than all, of the Shares proposed to be transferred to any one or more of the Proposed Transferees, at the purchase price determined in accordance with Section 7(c) below.

(c) Purchase Price. The purchase price (“Purchase Price”) for the Shares purchased by the Company or its assignee(s) under this Section 7 shall be the Offered Price; provided, however, if the Offered Price consists of no legal consideration (as, for example, in the case of transfer by gift), the purchase price will be the fair market value of the Shares as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company. If the Offered Price includes consideration other than cash, the cash equivalent value of the non-cash consideration shall be determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in good faith.

(d) Payment. Payment of the Purchase Price shall be made, at the option of the Company or its assignee(s), in cash (by check), by cancellation of all or a portion of any outstanding indebtedness of the Holder to the Company (or, in the case of repurchase by an assignee, to the assignee), or by any combination thereof within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Notice or in the manner and at the times set forth in the Notice.

(e) Holder’s Right to Transfer. If all of the Shares proposed in the Notice to be transferred to a given Proposed Transferee are not purchased by the Company and/or its assignee(s) as provided in this Section 7, then the Holder may sell or otherwise transfer such Shares to that Proposed Transferee at the Offered Price or at a higher price, provided that such sale or other transfer is consummated within one hundred and twenty (120) days after the date of the Notice, that any such sale or other transfer is effected in accordance with any applicable securities laws and that the Proposed Transferee agrees in writing that the provisions of this Section 7 shall continue to apply to the Shares in the hands of such Proposed Transferee. If the Shares described in the Notice are not transferred to the Proposed Transferee within such period, a new Notice shall be given to the Company, and the Company and/or its assignees shall again be offered the Right of First Refusal before any Shares held by the Holder may be sold or otherwise transferred.

(f) Exception for Certain Family Transfers. Anything to the contrary contained in this Section 7 notwithstanding, the transfer of any or all of the Shares during the Participant’s lifetime or on the Participant’s death by will or intestacy to the Participant’s immediate family or a trust for the benefit of the Participant’s immediate family shall be exempt from the provisions of this Section 7. “Immediate Family” as used herein shall mean spouse or lineal descendant of Participant (whether natural or adopted). In such case, the transferee or other recipient shall receive and hold the Shares so transferred subject to the provisions of this Section 7, and there shall be no further transfer of such Shares except in accordance with the terms of this Section 7.

A-20

(g) Termination of Right of First Refusal. The Right of First Refusal shall terminate as to any Shares upon the earlier of (i) the first sale of Common Stock of the Company to the general public, or (ii) a Change in Control in which the successor corporation has equity securities that are publicly traded.

8. Tax Consultation. Participant understands that Participant may suffer adverse tax consequences as a result of Participant’s purchase or disposition of the Shares. Participant represents that Participant has consulted with any tax consultants Participant deems advisable in connection with the purchase or disposition of the Shares and that Participant is not relying on the Company for any tax advice.

9. Restrictive Legends and Stop-Transfer Orders.

(a) Legends. Participant understands and agrees that the Company shall cause the legends set forth below or legends substantially equivalent thereto, to be placed upon any certificate(s) evidencing ownership of the Shares together with any other legends that may be required by the Company or by state or federal securities laws:

THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER AND A RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL HELD BY THE ISSUER OR ITS ASSIGNEE(S) AS SET FORTH IN THE EXERCISE NOTICE BETWEEN THE ISSUER AND THE ORIGINAL HOLDER OF THESE SHARES, A COPY OF WHICH MAY BE OBTAINED AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICE OF THE ISSUER. SUCH TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS AND RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL ARE BINDING ON TRANSFEREES OF THESE SHARES.

THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER FOR A PERIOD OF TIME FOLLOWING THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE UNDERWRITTEN PUBLIC OFFERING OF THE COMPANY’S SECURITIES SET FORTH IN AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE ISSUER AND THE ORIGINAL HOLDER OF THESE SHARES AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF BY THE HOLDER PRIOR TO THE EXPIRATION OF SUCH PERIOD WITHOUT THE CONSENT OF THE COMPANY OR THE MANAGING UNDERWRITER.

The Administrator reserves the right to include any other legends or restrictions on all certificates for Shares delivered as the Administrator recommends or deems advisable.

(b) Stop-Transfer Notices. Participant agrees that, in order to ensure compliance with the restrictions referred to herein, the Company may issue appropriate “stop transfer” instructions to its transfer agent, if any, and that, if the Company transfers its own securities, it may make appropriate notations to the same effect in its own records.

(c) Refusal to Transfer. The Company shall not be required (i) to transfer on its books any Shares that have been sold or otherwise transferred in violation of any of the provisions of this Exercise Notice or (ii) to treat as owner of such Shares or to accord the right to vote or pay dividends to any purchaser or other transferee to whom such Shares shall have been so transferred.

A-21

10. Stockholders’ Agreement; Spousal Consent. As a condition for issuance of any Shares pursuant to this Exercise Notice, the Company may require Participant to execute and be bound by any right of first refusal and co-sale agreement, voting agreement, stockholders’ agreement or other similar agreement in existence at the time of exercise if such agreement applies to holders of the common stock of the Company. Additionally, if Participant is married on the date of this Exercise Notice, Participant’s spouse shall, as a condition of the Company’s obligations hereunder, execute and deliver to the Company a consent of spouse in the form attached as Exhibit C and/or such other form as the Company may require.

11. Successors and Assigns. The Company may assign any of its rights under this Exercise Notice to single or multiple assignees, and this Exercise Notice shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Company. Subject to the restrictions on transfer herein set forth, this Exercise Notice shall be binding upon Participant and his or her heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns.

12. Interpretation. Any dispute regarding the interpretation of this Exercise Notice shall be submitted by Participant or by the Company forthwith to the Administrator, which shall review such dispute at its next regular meeting. The resolution of such a dispute by the Administrator shall be final and binding on all parties.

13. Governing Law; Severability. This Exercise Notice is governed by the internal substantive laws, without regard to the choice of law rules, of New York. In the event that any provision hereof becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, unenforceable or void, this Exercise Notice shall continue in full force and effect.

14. Entire Agreement. The Plan and Option Agreement are incorporated herein by reference. This Exercise Notice, the Plan, the Option Agreement and the Investment Representation Statement constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company and Participant with respect to the subject matter hereof, and may not be modified adversely to the Participant’s interest except by means of a writing signed by the Company and Participant.

(b) Participant acknowledges and understands that the Securities constitute “restricted securities” under the Securities Act and have not been registered under the Securities Act in reliance upon a specific exemption therefrom, which exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of Participant’s investment intent as expressed herein. In this connection, Participant understands that, in the view of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the statutory basis for such exemption may be unavailable if Participant’s representation was predicated solely upon a present intention to hold these Securities for the minimum capital gains period specified under tax statutes, for a deferred sale, for or until an increase or decrease in the market price of the Securities, or for a period of one (1) year or any other fixed period in the future. Participant further understands that the Securities must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. Participant further acknowledges and understands that the Company is under no obligation to register the Securities. Participant understands that the certificate evidencing the Securities shall be imprinted with any legend required under applicable state securities laws.

(c) Participant is familiar with the provisions of Rule 701 and Rule 144, each promulgated under the Securities Act, which, in substance, permit limited public resale of “restricted securities” acquired, directly or indirectly from the issuer thereof, in a non-public offering subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. Rule 701 provides that if the issuer qualifies under Rule 701 at the time of the grant of the Option to Participant, the exercise shall be exempt from registration under the Securities Act. In the event the Company becomes subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, ninety (90) days thereafter (or such longer period as any market stand-off agreement may require) the Securities exempt under Rule 701 may be resold, subject to the satisfaction of the applicable conditions specified by Rule 144, including in the case of affiliates (1) the availability of certain public information about the Company, (2) the amount of Securities being sold during any three (3) month period not exceeding specified limitations, (3) the resale being made in an unsolicited “broker’s transaction”, transactions directly with a “market maker” or “riskless principal transactions” (as those terms are defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) and (4) the timely filing of a Form 144, if applicable.

In the event that the Company does not qualify under Rule 701 at the time of grant of the Option, then the Securities may be resold in certain limited circumstances subject to the provisions of Rule 144, which may require (i) the availability of current public information about the Company; (ii) the resale to occur more than a specified period after the purchase and full payment (within the meaning of Rule 144) for the Securities; and (iii) in the case of the sale of Securities by an affiliate, the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in sections (2), (3) and (4) of the paragraph immediately above.

(d) Participant further understands that in the event all of the applicable requirements of Rule 701 or 144 are not satisfied, registration under the Securities Act, compliance with Regulation A, or some other registration exemption shall be required; and that, notwithstanding the fact that Rules 144 and 701 are not exclusive, the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission has expressed its opinion that persons proposing to sell private placement securities other than in a registered offering and otherwise than pursuant to Rules 144 or 701 shall have a substantial burden of proof in establishing that an exemption from registration is available for such offers or sales, and that such persons and their respective brokers who participate in such transactions do so at their own risk. Participant understands that no assurances can be given that any such other registration exemption shall be available in such event.

WHEREAS, the Company has adopted the 2025 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to which awards of Restricted Stock may be granted; and

WHEREAS, the Administrator has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to grant the award of Restricted Stock provided for herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

1. Grant of Restricted Stock. Pursuant to Section 7 of the Plan, the Company hereby issues to the Grantee on the Grant Date a Restricted Stock Award consisting of, in the aggregate, _________ shares of Common Stock of the Company (the “Restricted Stock”), on the terms and conditions and subject to the restrictions set forth in this Agreement and the Plan. Capitalized terms that are used but not defined herein have the meaning ascribed to them in the Plan.

2. Consideration. The grant of the Restricted Stock is made in consideration of the services to be rendered by the Grantee to the Company.

3. Restricted Period; Vesting.

3.1. Except as otherwise provided herein, provided that the Grantee remains in Continuous Service through the applicable vesting date, and further provided that any additional conditions and performance goals set forth in Schedule I have been satisfied, the Restricted Stock will vest in accordance with the following schedule:

Vesting Date		Shares of Common Stock
[*]		[*]
[*]		[*]

The period over which the Restricted Stock vests is referred to as the “Restricted Period.”

3.2. The foregoing vesting schedule notwithstanding, if the Grantee’s continuous service terminates for any reason at any time before all of his or her Restricted Stock has vested other than death or retirement (in the case of a Director), termination of the Grantee’s continuous service is terminated by the Company, Parent, or Subsidiary (as applicable) for Disability, the Grantee’s unvested Restricted Stock shall be automatically forfeited upon such termination of Continuous Service and neither the Company, nor any Parent or Subsidiary, shall have any further obligations to the Grantee under this Agreement.

3.3. The foregoing vesting schedule notwithstanding, in the event of the Grantee’s death or if the Grantee’s Continuous Service is terminated by the Company, Parent, or Subsidiary for Disability, 100% of the unvested Restricted Stock shall vest as of the date of such termination.

4. Restrictions. Subject to any exceptions set forth in this Agreement or the Plan, during the Restricted Period, the Restricted Stock or the rights relating thereto may not be assigned, alienated, pledged, attached, sold or otherwise transferred or encumbered by the Grantee. Any attempt to assign, alienate, pledge, attach, sell or otherwise transfer or encumber the Restricted Stock or the rights relating thereto during the Restricted Period shall be wholly ineffective and, if any such attempt is made, the Restricted Stock will be forfeited by the Grantee and all of the Grantee’s rights to such shares shall immediately terminate without any payment or consideration by the Company.

5. Rights as Stockholder; Dividends.

5.1. The Grantee shall be the record owner of the Restricted Stock until the shares of Common Stock are sold or otherwise disposed of, and shall be entitled to all of the rights of a stockholder of the Company including, without limitation, the right to vote such shares and receive all dividends or other distributions paid with respect to such shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any dividends or other distributions shall be subject to the same restrictions on transferability as the shares of Restricted Stock with respect to which they were paid.

A-27

5.2. The Company may issue stock certificates or evidence the Grantee’s interest by using a restricted book entry account with the Company’s transfer agent. Physical possession or custody of any stock certificates that are issued may be retained by the Company until such time as the Restricted Stock vests.

5.3. If the Grantee forfeits any rights he or she has under this Agreement in accordance with Section 3, the Grantee shall, on the date of such forfeiture, no longer have any rights as a stockholder with respect to the Restricted Stock and shall no longer be entitled to vote or receive dividends on such shares.

6. No Right to Continued Service. Neither the Plan nor this Agreement shall confer upon the Grantee any right to be retained in any position, as an Employee, Consultant or Director of the Company. Further, nothing in the Plan or this Agreement shall be construed to limit the discretion of the Company to terminate the Grantee’s Continuous Service at any time, with or without Cause.

7. Adjustments. If any change is made to the outstanding Common Stock or the capital structure of the Company, if required, the shares of Common Stock shall be adjusted or terminated in any manner as contemplated by Section 11 of the Plan.

8. Tax Liability and Withholding.

8.1. The Grantee shall be required to pay to the Company, and the Company shall have the right to deduct from any compensation paid to the Grantee pursuant to the Plan, the amount of any required withholding taxes in respect of the Restricted Stock and to take all such other action as the Administrator deems necessary to satisfy all obligations for the payment of such withholding taxes. The Administrator may permit the Grantee to satisfy any federal, state or local tax withholding obligation by any of the following means, or by a combination of such means: (a) tendering a cash payment; (b) authorizing the Company to withhold shares of Common Stock from the shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable or deliverable to the Grantee as a result of the vesting of the Restricted Stock; provided, however, that no shares of Common Stock shall be withheld with a value exceeding the minimum amount of tax required to be withheld by law; or (c) delivering to the Company previously owned and unencumbered shares of Common Stock.

8.2. Notwithstanding any action the Company takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, or other tax-related withholding (“Tax-Related Items”), the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains the Grantee’s responsibility and the Company (a) makes no representation or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with the grant or vesting of the Restricted Stock or the subsequent sale of any shares; and (b) does not commit to structure the Restricted Stock to reduce or eliminate the Grantee’s liability for Tax-Related Items.

9. Section 83(b) Election. The Grantee may make an election under Code Section 83(b) (a “Section 83(b) Election”) with respect to the Restricted Stock. Any such election must be made within thirty (30) days after the Grant Date. If the Grantee elects to make a Section 83(b) Election, the Grantee shall provide the Company with a copy of an executed version and satisfactory evidence of the filing of the executed Section 83(b) Election with the US Internal Revenue Service. The Grantee agrees to assume full responsibility for ensuring that the Section 83(b) Election is actually and timely filed with the US Internal Revenue Service and for all tax consequences resulting from the Section 83(b) Election.

10. Compliance with Law. The issuance and transfer of shares of Common Stock shall be subject to compliance by the Company and the Grantee with all applicable requirements of federal and state securities laws and with all applicable requirements of any stock exchange on which the Company’s shares of Common Stock may be listed. No shares of Common Stock shall be issued or transferred unless and until any then applicable requirements of state and federal laws and regulatory agencies have been fully complied with to the satisfaction of the Company and its counsel. The Grantee understands that the Company is under no obligation to register the shares of Common Stock with the Securities and Exchange Commission, any state securities commission or any stock exchange to effect such compliance.

A-28

11. Legends. A legend may be placed on any certificate(s) or other document(s) delivered to the Grantee indicating restrictions on transferability of the shares of Restricted Stock pursuant to this Agreement or any other restrictions that the Administrator may deem advisable under the rules, regulations and other requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, any applicable federal or state securities laws or any stock exchange on which the shares of Common Stock are then listed or quoted.

Subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth herein, this Agreement will be binding upon the Grantee and the Grantee’s beneficiaries, executors, administrators and the person(s) to whom the Restricted Stock may be transferred by will or the laws of descent or distribution.

17. Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of the Plan or this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of the Plan or this Agreement, and each provision of the Plan and this Agreement shall be severable and enforceable to the extent permitted by law.

18. Discretionary Nature of Plan. The Plan is discretionary and may be amended, cancelled or terminated by the Company at any time, in its discretion. The grant of the Restricted Stock in this Agreement does not create any contractual right or other right to receive any Restricted Stock or other Awards in the future. Future Awards, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company. Any amendment, modification, or termination of the Plan shall not constitute a change or impairment of the terms and conditions of the Grantee’s employment with the Company.

FORM OF RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT

This Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement (the “Agreement”) between PMGC Holdings Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”) and [*] (the “Award Recipient”) is effective as of [*] (the “Effective Date”). Any undefined terms appearing herein as defined terms shall have the same meaning as they do in the Company’s 2025 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended and/or restated from time to time (the “Plan”). The Company will provide a copy of the Plan to the Award Recipient upon request. Capitalized terms that are used but not defined herein have the meaning ascribed to them in the Plan.

WITNESSETH:

1. Award of Restricted Stock Units. Pursuant to the provisions of the Plan, the Company hereby awards the Award Recipient, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan (incorporated herein by reference), and subject further to the terms and conditions in this Agreement, [*] restricted stock units (“RSUs” or the “Award”). Each RSU shall represent an unfunded, unsecured right for the Award Recipient to receive one (1) share of Common Stock, as described in this Agreement.

2. Ownership Rights. The Award Recipient has no voting or other ownership rights in the Company arising from the award of RSUs under this Agreement.

3. Dividends. The Award Recipient shall be credited with dividend equivalents equal to the dividends the Award Recipient would have received if the Award Recipient had been the owner of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of RSUs credited to the Award Recipient on such dividend payment date (the “Dividend Equivalent”). Any Dividend Equivalent deriving from a cash dividend shall be converted into additional RSUs based on the Fair Market Value of Common Stock on the dividend payment date. Subject to the Plan, any Dividend Equivalent deriving from a dividend of shares of Common Stock shall be converted into additional RSUs on a one-for-one basis. The Award Recipient shall continue to be credited with Dividend Equivalents until the Settlement Date (defined below) (or, if applicable, the forfeiture of the corresponding Award). The Dividend Equivalents so credited shall be subject to the same terms and conditions as the corresponding Award, and they shall vest (or, if applicable, be forfeited) and be settled in the same manner and at the same time as the corresponding Award, as if they had been granted at the same time as such Award.

4. Vesting of Award. The unvested portion of the Award is subject to forfeiture. Subject to the terms of the Plan and this Agreement, including without limitation, fulfillment of the employment requirements in paragraph 8 below, the Award will vest in accordance with the following schedule (except in the case of the Award Recipient’s earlier Separation from Service due to death or Disability or an earlier Change of Control Transaction, as set forth in paragraph 6 below): [Percentage or fraction] of the RSUs covered by this Award shall vest on [Vesting Schedule] of the Effective Date of this Award, provided, however, that, any RSU representing a fractional share of Common Stock shall accumulate and vest on the next following vesting date on which the aggregate of vested fractional shares represents a whole share of Common Stock.

5. Settlement. Once vested, the Award will be settled as follows:

In General. Subject to paragraph 11 of this Agreement the Award will be settled in Common Stock. Subject to the terms of the Plan, settlement of the vested portion of the Award shall occur on [*] (or if such date is not a business day, the business day immediately following such date); or, in the case of (i) the Award Recipient’s termination from service due to death or Disability or (ii) a Change of Control Transaction, settlement of the Award shall occur as of such earlier date set forth in paragraph 6 hereof (the “Settlement Date”). As soon as practicable (but in no event more than 30 days) following the Settlement Date, the Company shall , issue or cause there to be transferred to the Award Recipient (or, in the case of the Award Recipient’s death, to the Award Recipient’s designated beneficiary or estate, as applicable or, in the case of the Award Recipient’s Disability, to the Award Recipient’s guardian or legal representative, if applicable and if permissible under applicable law) a number of whole shares of Common Stock equal to the aggregate number of RSUs (rounded down to a whole number) granted to the Award Recipient under this Agreement (including, without limitation, the RSUs attributable to Dividend Equivalents) that are vested as of the Settlement Date (the “Settlement Shares”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Award Recipient’s termination from service occurs due to Disability, any such settlement of the Award by reason of such termination from Service shall be delayed for six months from the date of the Award Recipient’s Separation from Service if the Participant is considered a “specified employee” for purposes of Section 409A of the Code (as determined in accordance with the methodology established by the Company as in effect on the date of Separation from Service).

(a) Termination of Rights. Upon the issuance or transfer of Settlement Shares in settlement of the Award (including, without limitation, the RSUs attributable to Dividend Equivalents), the Award shall be settled in full and the Award Recipient (or his or her designated beneficiary or estate, in the case of death) shall have no further rights with respect to the Award.

A-30

(b) Certificates or Book Entry. As of the Settlement Date, the Company shall, at the discretion of the Administrator or its designee, either issue one or more certificates in the Award Recipient’s name for such Settlement Shares or evidence book-entry registration of the Settlement Shares in the Award Recipient’s name (or, in the case of death, to the Award Recipient’s designated beneficiary, if any). No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued in settlement of the RSUs, and any fractional share of Common Stock that would otherwise be Settlement Stock as of the Settlement Date shall be settled through a cash payment based on the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock.

(c) Conditions to Delivery. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company shall not be required to evidence book-entry registration or issue or deliver any certificate or certificates representing Settlement Shares in the event the Company reasonably anticipates that such registration, issuance or delivery would violate Federal securities laws or other applicable law; provided that the Company must evidence book-entry registration or issue or deliver said certificate or certificates at the earliest date at which the Company reasonably anticipates that such registration, issuance or delivery would not cause such violation.

(d) Legends. The Settlement Shares shall be subject to such stop transfer orders and other restrictions as the Administrator may deem reasonably advisable under the Plan or the rules, regulations, and other requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, any stock exchange upon which such Settlement Shares are listed, any applicable Federal or state laws or the Company’s Articles of of Incorporation, as amended, and Bylaws, and the Administrator may cause a legend or legends to be put on or otherwise apply to any certificates or book-entry position representing Settlement Shares to make appropriate reference to such restrictions.

6. Accelerated Vesting and Settlement on Change of Control Transaction and Termination From Service Due to Death and Disability. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary:

(a) Upon a Change of Control, the Award (including, without limitation, the RSUs attributable to Dividend Equivalents) shall immediately and fully vest and become nonforfeitable, and such Award shall be settled as soon as practicable (but in no event more than 30 days) following the date of such Change of Control; provided, however, that, in the event that such Change of Control does not qualify as an event described in Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(v) of the Code and the regulations thereunder, the Award shall not be settled until the first Settlement Date that is also a permissible payment event under Section 409A of the Code and the regulations thereunder (but shall not be subject to the forfeiture provisions of paragraph 8 hereof following such Change of Control).

(b) In the event of the Award Recipient’s Separation from Service due to death or Disability, the Award (including, without limitation, the RSUs attributable to Dividend Equivalents) shall immediately and fully vest and become nonforfeitable effective as of the date of the Award Recipient’s Separation from Service due to death or Disability, and such Award shall be settled as soon as practicable (but in no event more than 30 days) following the date of such Award Recipient’s Separation from Service due to death or Disability, as applicable.

(c) The Administrator shall have the sole and absolute discretion to determine whether the Award Recipient’s Separation from Service is by reason of Disability, as defined by the Plan and in accordance with Section 409A of the Code.

7. Cancellation of Award. The Administrator has the right to cancel for no consideration all or any portion of the Award in accordance with the Plan if the Award Recipient has been terminated for Cause. The Administrator shall have the power and authority to suspend the vesting of or the right to receive Settlement Shares in respect of all or any portion of the Award if the Administrator makes in good faith the determination described in the preceding sentence. Any such suspension of an Award shall remain in effect until the suspension shall be presented to and acted on by the Administrator at its next meeting.

A-31

8. Service Requirements. Except as provided in this Agreement, in order to vest in and not forfeit the Award (or portion thereof, as the case may be), the Award Recipient must remain a Service Provider. If there is a termination from service for any reason (other than due to death or Disability) before a portion of the Award has fully vested, the Award Recipient will forfeit any portion of the Award and corresponding Dividend Equivalents that have not vested as of the date of such termination of service, unless otherwise provided by the Administrator.

9. No Right to Continued Service. Nothing in the Plan or this Agreement shall confer on the Award Recipient any right to continue as a Service Provider to the Company, the Parent, or a Subsidiary for any given period or on any specified terms nor in any way affect the Company’s, the Parent’s, or the Subsidiary’s right to terminate the Award Recipient’s employment without prior notice at any time for any reason or for no reason.

10. Transferability. Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, the RSUs subject to this Award (including, without limitation, Dividend Equivalents) may not be assigned, alienated, pledged, attached, sold or otherwise transferred or encumbered by the Award Recipient otherwise than by will or by the laws of intestacy, and any such purported assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance shall be void and unenforceable against the Company, Parent, or Subsidiary; provided, however, that the designation of a beneficiary shall not constitute an assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance.

11. Adjustment in Award. The number of shares of Common Stock underlying this Award shall be subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 12 of the Plan, and the Administrator shall be authorized to make such other equitable adjustments of the Award or shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant thereto so that the value of the interest of the Award Recipient shall not be decreased by reason of the occurrence of such event. Any such adjustment shall be deemed conclusive and binding on the Company, the Award Recipient, his or her beneficiaries and all other interested parties.

12. Administration; Amendment. This Award has been made pursuant to a determination by the Administrator and/or the Board of Directors of the Company, and the Administrator shall have plenary authority to interpret, in its sole and absolute discretion, any provision of this Agreement and to make any determinations necessary or advisable for the administration of this Agreement. All such interpretations and determinations shall be final and binding on all persons, including the Company, the Award Recipient, his or her beneficiaries and all other interested parties. Subject to the terms of the Plan, this Agreement may be amended, in whole or in part, at any time by the Administrator; provided, however, that no amendment to this Agreement may adversely affect the Award Recipient’s rights under this Agreement without the Award Recipient’s consent except such an amendment made to cause the Award to comply with applicable law, stock exchange rules or accounting rules.

13. Binding Nature of Plan. The Award is subject to the Plan. The Award Recipient agrees to be bound by all terms and provisions of the Plan and related administrative rules and procedures, including, without limitation, terms and provisions and administrative rules and procedures adopted and/or modified after the granting of the Award. In the event any provisions hereof are inconsistent with those of the Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall control, except to the extent expressly modified herein pursuant to authority granted under the Plan.

14. Compliance with Laws and Regulations. The Award and the obligation of the Company to deliver the Settlement Shares subject to the Award are subject to compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations, to receipt of any approvals by any government or regulatory agency as may be required, and to any determinations the Company may make regarding the application of all such laws, rules and regulations.

No later than the date as of which an amount first becomes includible in the gross income of the Award Recipient for federal income tax purposes with respect to any Settlement Shares subject to this Award, the Award Recipient shall pay to the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Company regarding the payment of, all federal, state and local income and employment taxes that are required by applicable laws and regulations to be withheld with respect to such amount. The Award Recipient agrees that the Company may delay delivery of the Settlement Shares until proper payment of such taxes has been made by the Award Recipient. Unless determined otherwise by the Administrator, the Award Recipient may satisfy such obligations under this paragraph 16 by any method authorized under the Plan.

17. Voluntary Participation. Participation in the Plan is voluntary. The value of the Award is an extraordinary item of compensation outside the scope of the Award Recipient’s employment contract, if any. As such, the Award is not part of normal or expected compensation for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments.
