The filing states this Amendment No. 2 is being made solely to disclose a new lock-up agreement tied to the company’s underwritten public offering, and that the number of shares, pre-funded warrants, and preferred shares beneficially owned is unchanged from the prior amendment.

The disclosure also notes that 5,790,206 common shares underlying pre-funded warrants and 3,106,000 shares issuable upon conversion of additional Series A preferred shares are excluded from beneficial ownership calculations due to 9.99% and 19.99% beneficial ownership limitations. Separately, stock options held by Tomas Kiselak to acquire 23,017 common shares at an exercise price of $10.14 per share vested and became exercisable on April 29, 2026.

Series A non-voting convertible preferred stock financial
"9,516,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of 9,516 shares of Series A non-voting convertible preferred stock"
Series A non-voting convertible preferred stock is an early-round ownership share that gives holders priority over common shareholders for payouts and protections, but does not grant voting control. It can be exchanged later for common shares—like a coupon that can be turned into regular stock—allowing investors to share in upside while limiting immediate influence on company decisions; this affects potential returns, dilution for other shareholders, and the balance of control in future financing or sale events.
Pre-Funded Warrants financial
"5,790,206 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of Pre-Funded Warrants"
Pre-funded warrants are financial instruments that give investors the right to purchase a company's stock at a set price, but with most or all of the purchase price paid upfront. They function like a coupon or gift card for stock, allowing investors to buy shares later at a fixed price, which can be beneficial if they want to avoid future price increases. This makes them important for investors seeking flexibility and certainty in their investment plans.
beneficial ownership limitation financial
"The exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants is subject to a beneficial ownership limitation of 9.99% of the outstanding Common Stock"
A beneficial ownership limitation is a rule that caps the percentage of a company’s shares an investor can be treated as owning or controlling for voting, regulatory or tax purposes. It matters to investors because it can restrict how many shares a person or group can buy or vote, affect takeover chances, and influence share liquidity and value — like a speed limit that prevents any single driver from taking over the whole road.
Lock-Up Agreement financial
"the Reporting Persons entered into a customary lock-up letter agreement (the "Lock-Up Agreement")"
A lock-up agreement is a contract that prevents company insiders and early investors from selling their shares for a fixed period after a stock sale, often after an initial public offering. It matters to investors because it temporarily limits the number of shares that can hit the market, which can keep the share price steadier; when the lock-up ends, a sudden increase in available shares can create extra volatility, revealing insiders’ confidence or lack thereof.
underwritten public offering financial
"In connection with the Company's underwritten public offering of common stock that closed on June 5, 2026"
An underwritten public offering is when a company sells new shares of its stock to the public with the help of a financial firm, called an underwriter. The underwriter agrees to buy all the shares upfront, reducing the company's risk, and then sells them to investors. This process helps companies raise money quickly and confidently from a wide range of buyers.
