        <commentText>This Amendment 2 amends the Schedule 13DA filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 23, 2025 and is being filed to reflect the recent voluntary registration by Zapata Quantum, Inc. ("Issuer") of its common stock pursuant to Section 12(g) of the Act to enable the Issuer to become a mandatory "reporting company" subject to the Act. As a mandatory "reporting company" the Issuer is now required to make periodic disclosures including, by filing annual reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and must promptly disclose certain important events on a Form 8-K.

The Reporting Person's interest in securities of the Issuer described in Item 5 below has not changed except as related to the additional vesting of previously reported grants and a decrease to the aggregate percentage beneficially owned as calculated based upon the Issuer's outstanding shares as of March 23, 2026.</commentText>
