Beneficial Ownership Limitationregulatory
"may not be converted to the extent that, after giving effect, above the Beneficial Ownership Limitation"
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.
Series A convertible voting preferred stockfinancial
"each of which is exercisable to purchase one share of Series A convertible voting preferred stock"
Preferred Tranche A Warrantsfinancial
"5,000 Tranche A warrants (the "Preferred Tranche A Warrants"), each of which is exercisable"
beneficially ownedregulatory
"The securities reported hereby as beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons are held directly"
Beneficially owned describes securities or assets where a person has the economic rights and control—such as the right to receive dividends and to direct voting—even if legal title is held in another name. Think of it like having the keys and using a car that’s registered to someone else: you get the benefits and make decisions. Investors care because beneficial ownership reveals who truly controls value and voting power, affecting corporate decisions and takeover dynamics.
Schedule 13Gregulatory
"Exhibit 1. Joint Acquisition Statement Pursuant to Section 240.13d-1(k)"
A Schedule 13G is a formal document that investors file with the government when they acquire a large ownership stake in a company, usually for investment purposes rather than control. It helps keep the public informed about who owns significant parts of a company's shares, which can influence how the company is managed and how investors make decisions. Filing this schedule is important for transparency and understanding the ownership landscape of publicly traded companies.

Ownership
(a)
Amount beneficially owned:
The information required by Items 4(a) - (c) and set forth in Rows 5 through 11 of the cover page for each Reporting Person is incorporated herein by reference for each such Reporting Person.
The securities reported hereby as beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons are held directly by the following investment partnerships, of which the Investment Manager is the investment manager: (i) Farallon Capital Partners, L.P., a California limited partnership ("FCP"); (ii) Farallon Capital Institutional Partners, L.P., a California limited partnership ("FCIP"); (iii) Farallon Capital Institutional Partners II, L.P., a California limited partnership ("FCIP II"); (iv) Farallon Capital Institutional Partners III, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("FCIP III"); (v) Four Crossings Institutional Partners V, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("FCIP V"); (vi) Farallon Capital Offshore Investors II, L.P., a Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership ("FCOI II"); (vii) Farallon Capital (AM) Investors, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("FCAMI"); and (viii) Farallon Capital F5 Master I, L.P., a Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership ("F5MI").
FCP, FCIP, FCIP II, FCIP III, FCIP V, FCOI II, FCAMI and F5MI are together referred to herein as the "Farallon Funds."
As of the date requiring the filing of this statement, the Farallon Funds hold an aggregate of: (i) 2,365,000 Shares; and (ii) 5,000 Tranche A warrants (the "Preferred Tranche A Warrants"), each of which is exercisable to purchase one share of Series A convertible voting preferred stock (the "Series A Preferred Stock"). Each share of Series A Preferred Stock is convertible at the holder's option, subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below), into 473 Shares.
The terms of the Series A Preferred Stock provide that Series A Preferred Stock may not be converted to the extent that, after giving effect to such conversion, the Reporting Persons would beneficially own, as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, more than 9.99% of the Shares then issued and outstanding (the "Beneficial Ownership Limitation"). As of the date requiring the filing of this statement, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation does not prevent the Farallon Funds from acquiring any Series A Preferred Stock upon the exercise of Preferred Tranche A Warrants or from converting any such shares of Series A Preferred Stock into Shares. Accordingly, in providing the beneficial ownership information set forth herein, the Reporting Persons have assumed that all of the aggregate 5,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock acquirable by the Farallon Funds upon the exercise of Preferred Tranche A Warrants are convertible within 60 days of the date hereof and therefore confer beneficial ownership of the underlying Shares.

A listing of the shareholders of an investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 or the beneficiaries of employee benefit plan, pension fund or endowment fund is not required.
