On March 14, 2025, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with three unrelated individuals (collectively, the “Buyer”) whereby the Buyer acquired all of the shares of capital stock of Water Resources (the “Shares”) owned by the Company (the “Purchase Agreement”). The sale and purchase of the Shares closed (the “Closing”) simultaneously with the execution and delivery of the Purchase Agreement by each of the parties thereto on March 14, 2025. The aggregate purchase price for the Shares was $1,050,000, which was paid at Closing by the Buyer as follows: an initial aggregate cash payment of $250,000 and the delivery of a non-interest bearing promissory note with a principal amount of $800,000 (the “Promissory Note”). The principal payments on the Promissory Note were to be paid in installments on the following schedule: $200,000 on May 15, 2025; and $150,000 on June 16, 2025, July 15, 2025, August 15, 2025, and September 15, 2025. The Promissory Note is secured by certain specified assets of Water Resources and personal guarantees of the purchasers.

In August 2025, the Promissory Note was amended to the following schedule: $100,000 on December 15, 2025; $50,000 on February 15, 2026; and $150,000 on March 15, 2026 and to increase the annual interest rate on the Promissory Note from zero to 12% beginning August 15, 2025 and to 18% beginning December 15, 2025.
