Vertical Data corrects Nickel’s option to 773,750 shares

The amendment’s footnote says 726,250 of the 1,500,000 shares originally subject to the option were canceled under a September 5, 2025 adjustment agreement.

This filing corrects an earlier one, and you can read the original Form 3 if you want to see what changed.

Explanation of Responses:

1. 25% of the granted options vested immediately upon issuance, with the remaining 75% vesting ratably on a monthly basis over the three-year vesting period.

2. This Amendment amends the number of shares underlying the stock option, which the original Form 3 reported as 771,750. Of the 1,500,000 shares originally subject to the option, 726,250 were cancelled under the Stock Option Adjustment Letter Agreement dated September 5, 2025, leaving 773,750 outstanding on the date of event requiring this statement.

Remarks:

This Amendment No. 1 amends the Form 3 filed March 23, 2026 to correct Item 4 and the Table II line. The original Form 3 reported the reporting person's relationship to the issuer as "Other - Head of Business Development." The reporting person is an officer of the issuer within the meaning of Rule 16a-1(f), and the Officer box is checked accordingly. The 165,000 shares of common stock held directly, as reported in Table I of the original Form 3, are unchanged and are not repeated here, in accordance with General Instruction 8.
