Clawback Policy financial

"This Amendment is being filed solely to include the Company’s Clawback Policy as Exhibit 97.1"

A clawback policy is a company rule that lets the firm take back pay, bonuses or stock awards from current or former executives if results are later found to be incorrect, misconduct occurred, or targets were missed. It matters to investors because it helps protect the value of their holdings by discouraging risky or fraudulent behavior and ensuring executive rewards reflect real, verified performance—think of it as a return policy for executive pay.

emerging growth company regulatory

"See the definitions of “large accelerated filer,” “accelerated filer,” “smaller reporting company,” and “emerging growth company” in Rule 12b-2"

An emerging growth company is a recently public or smaller public firm that qualifies for temporary, lighter regulatory and disclosure rules to reduce the cost and effort of being public. For investors, it means the company may provide less historical financial detail and face fewer reporting requirements than larger firms, so it can grow more quickly but also carries higher uncertainty—like buying a promising early-stage product with fewer user reviews.

Code of Ethics regulatory

"14.1**** | | Code of Ethics"

A code of ethics is a company’s written rulebook describing the expected behavior and decision-making standards for its leaders and employees, covering honesty, conflicts of interest, financial reporting and legal obligations. For investors it matters because a strong, enforceable code reduces the risk of fraud and scandals, signals trustworthy management and can protect the value of their holdings—like a referee keeping a game fair.

Inline XBRL technical

"101.INS**** | | Inline XBRL Instance Document."

Inline XBRL is a file format for financial filings that embeds machine-readable data tags directly inside the human-readable report, so the same document can be read by people and parsed by software. For investors it makes extracting, comparing and verifying financial numbers faster and more reliable—like a grocery list where each item also has a barcode—reducing manual errors and speeding up analysis.

Rights Agreement financial

"4.4* | | Rights Agreement by and between Odyssey Trust Company and the Registrant"

A rights agreement is a contract that grants existing shareholders special rights—commonly the option to buy additional shares at a set price or to trigger protections if a takeover is attempted. Think of it like a neighborhood watch rule that lets current homeowners buy extra lots or lock the gate when an outsider tries to take over the block; it matters to investors because it can dilute or protect share value and influence takeover outcomes.
