All calculations of beneficial ownership percentages in this statement are based on 12,698,453 Shares outstanding as of November 6, 2025, as disclosed by the Issuer in its Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on November 13, 2025. Relevant transactions leading up to this date, as well as the respective price per share of each transaction, are set forth on Schedule A to this statement.

Positions in Issuer securities may be held in margin accounts and may be pledged as collateral security for the repayment of debit balances in such accounts. Such margin accounts may from time to time have debit balances. In addition, since other securities may be held in such margin accounts, it may not be possible to determine the amounts, if any, of margin used to purchase the Securities.

| Item 4. | Purpose of Transaction |
| | Veradace originally acquired beneficial ownership of the Shares of the Issuer for investment purposes and filed a Schedule 13G on January 7, 2026 based on a passive investment intent.
Veradace evaluates on an ongoing basis its investment in the Issuer and its options with respect to such investment, and now believe that additional changes may be necessary for the Issuer to maximize shareholder value. On February 27, 2026, Veradace shared its concerns with the Issuer regarding the Issuer's performance over the last several years and the absence of any meaningful shareholder perspective on its board of directors (the "Board"). Veradace indicated its desire for two new directors to be added to the Board. Although Veradace does not presently intend to nominate any candidates for election to the Board at the 2026 annual meeting of stockholders, Veradace intends to continue to engage in dialogue with the Issuer regarding potential Board candidates and the opportunity for the Board to benefit from fresh perspectives with respect to investor credibility, capital allocation, and overall value maximization.
As noted above, Veradace intends to evaluate on an ongoing basis its investment in the Issuer and its options with respect to such investment. In connection with such evaluation, the Reporting Persons may communicate publicly or privately with members of the Board and/or senior management of the Issuer, other stockholders, knowledgeable industry or market observers, or other third parties with respect to this investment. As part of such evaluation and any such communications, the Reporting Persons may make recommendations, suggestions, or proposals to and may engage in discussions with the Issuer or other third parties (including other stockholders) that may relate to or result in one or more of the matters specified in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D, including, but not limited to, changes in the composition of the Board, changes in the strategic direction and future plans of the Issuer and other opportunities involving the Issuer as a means of enhancing shareholder value.
Except as set forth herein, none of the Reporting Persons has any plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the transactions described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. Depending on various factors, including the Issuer's financial position, prospects and strategic direction, the outcome of the matters referenced above, other developments concerning the Issuer, actions taken by the Board, price levels of the Shares, other investment opportunities available to the Reporting Person, conditions in the securities markets and general economic and industry conditions, the Reporting Person may in the future take such actions with respect to their investment in the Issuer as it deems appropriate, including, without limitation, (i) acquiring additional securities of the Issuer in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, (ii) disposing of all or a portion of its securities, and (iii) enter into hedging, derivative or other arrangements with respect to its economic exposure to the Issuer's securities. The Reporting Persons reserve the right to change their views with respect to the Issuer and to take any action with respect to their investment permitted by law. |
| Item 5. | Interest in Securities of the Issuer |
| (a) | The aggregate number and percentage of the class of securities identified pursuant to Item 1 beneficially owned by each Reporting Person as of the time of filing, is stated in Items 11 and 13 on the cover page(s) hereto. |
| (b) | The Reporting Persons may be deemed to share voting and dispositive power over 2,039,805 Shares and options to acquire an additional 50,000 Shares, representing beneficial ownership of a combined total of 16.5 percent of the outstanding Shares. |
| (c) | The transactions effected by the Reporting Persons in the Shares during the past 60 days are set forth on Schedule A to this statement. Each of these transactions was executed through the open market. |
| (d) | No person other than the Reporting Persons is known to have the right to receive, or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or proceeds from the sale of, the Securities. |
| (e) | Not applicable. |
| Item 6. | Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer |
