4 terms

Rule 16a-1(f) regulatory

"officer of the issuer within the meaning of Rule 16a-1(f)"

Section 16(b) regulatory

"intended to be exempt from Section 16(b)"

A federal rule that requires company insiders—like officers, directors and large shareholders—to return any profits made from buying and selling the company’s stock within a six-month window. It matters to investors because it discourages short-term trades that could exploit non-public information and helps protect outside shareholders by creating a simple, enforceable way to recover unfair gains, much like a rule stopping someone from flipping a limited-edition item for quick profit after getting early access.

Rule 16b-3(d) regulatory

"pursuant to Rule 16b-3(d)"

Rule 16b-3(d) is a narrow SEC safe-harbor that shields company insiders (officers, directors and large shareholders) from liability for short‑swing profits when their buys or sells of company stock are made under a pre-established, written plan or contract that removes the insider’s ability to time trades. For investors, this matters because it permits predictable, automated insider transactions — like scheduled sales for diversification or payroll withholding — without triggering forced disgorgement, so such planned trades are treated differently from opportunistic insider trading.

Explanation of Responses:

1. This Amendment also amends the Table I line reporting the acquisition of 300,000 shares of common stock, which the original Form 4 reported as occurring on March 1, 2026 at a price of $0.05 per share. Shares issued in settlement of accrued fees for services rendered to the issuer, at $0.50 per share, as approved by the Board of Directors at its meeting held March 11, 2026.

2. The transaction was approved by the Board of Directors of the issuer and is intended to be exempt from Section 16(b) pursuant to Rule 16b-3(d).

Remarks:

This Amendment No. 1 amends the Form 4 filed March 23, 2026 to correct Item 5. The original Form 4 reported the reporting person's relationship to the issuer as "Other." The reporting person is an officer of the issuer within the meaning of Rule 16a-1(f), and the Officer box is checked accordingly. Only the line being amended is set forth above; the line reporting the January 23, 2026 option exercise is not amended and is not repeated, in accordance with General Instruction 8.
