Mr. Emalfarb is the sole beneficiary and sole trustee of, and has sole voting and dispositive power over all shares held or otherwise owned through, the MAE Trust. The Convertible Notes are senior, secured obligations of the Issuer and its affiliates, and interest is payable quarterly in cash on the principal amount equal to 8% per annum. The Convertible Notes (following an amendment made on December 23, 2025) will mature on December 31, 2027, unless earlier converted, repurchased, or redeemed in accordance with their terms, and have a conversion price of $1.05 per share of common stock. The ownership percentage is based on 36,187,798 shares of common stock of the Issuer outstanding as of December 31, 2025, as reported by the Issuer to Mr. Emalfarb.</comments>
