(the "Issuer"), issuable upon settlement of restricted stock units of the Issuer ("RSUs") granted to the reporting person pursuant to the Issuer's 2023 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended from time to time (the "2023 Plan"), each of which represents the right to receive one (1) share of Common Stock, subject to the vesting terms of such RSUs, and may be settled solely in shares of Common Stock. The original grant of RSUs was reported in Table II of the Form 4s filed by the reporting person (the "Original Form 4s").

The RSUs were received as compensation for the reporting person's service as a member of the Issuer's board of directors pursuant to the 2023 Plan. The RSUs vest in equal installments on a quarterly basis after the date of such grant for a period of three years, so long as the reporting person remains in the service of the Issuer on each such anniversary. Amounts have been adjusted to reflect the 1-for-10 reverse stock split effected by the Issuer on July 1, 2025.

restricted stock units financial
"issuable upon settlement of restricted stock units of the Issuer ("RSUs") granted"
Restricted stock units are a type of company reward where employees are promised shares of stock, but they only fully own these shares after meeting certain conditions, like staying with the company for a set time. They matter because they can become valuable assets and are often used to motivate employees to help the company succeed.
2023 Equity Incentive Plan financial
"RSUs granted to the reporting person pursuant to the Issuer's 2023 Equity Incentive Plan"
reverse stock split financial
"Amounts have been adjusted to reflect the 1-for-10 reverse stock split effected"
A reverse stock split is when a company reduces the number of its shares outstanding, making each share more valuable. For example, if you own 100 shares worth $1 each, a 1-for-10 reverse split would turn your 100 shares into 10 shares worth $10 each. Companies often do this to boost their stock price and appear more stable to investors.
Form 4 amendment regulatory
"This Form 4 amendment (this "Amendment") is being filed to amend"
board of directors financial
"received as compensation for the reporting person's service as a member of the Issuer's board of directors"
The Board of Directors is a group of people chosen by a company's owners to help make big decisions and oversee how the company is run. They act like a team of advisors or managers, making sure the company stays on track and meets its goals. Their choices can influence the company's success and how it grows.
