AeroEquity GP, LLC is the ultimate General Partner or Managing Member of each of the AE Holders and may therefore be deemed to have voting and dispositive power over 58,705,432 shares of Common Stock and 100,320 shares of Common Stock issuable in exercise of 100,320 Warrants, representing 58,805,752 aggregate shares of Common Stock directly held by the AE Holders.

Thomas Markusic directly holds and therefore has voting and dispositive power over 7,478,389 shares of Common Stock and 5,008,700 shares of Common Stock issuable in exercise of 5,008,700 Options, representing an aggregate of 12,487,089 shares of Common Stock.

Mitsui &amp; Co., LTD. directly holds and therefore has voting and dispositive power over 5,033,121 shares of Common Stock.

Marc Allen Weiser is the Managing Member of BGW Ventures IV, LP and RPM Ventures IV, L.P., which hold 2,840,043 and 1,205,209 shares of Common Stock respectively, and therefore Mr. Weiser may be deemed to have voting and dispositive power over the 4,045,252 aggregate shares of Common Stock directly held by such entities.

As a result of the Director Nomination Agreement, dated as of August 6, 2025, by and among the Issuer and each of the reporting persons (filed as Exhibit 10.3 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Issuer on such date), the AE Reporting Persons, Thomas Markusic, Mitsui &amp; Co., LTD., and Marc Allen Weiser, may be deemed to consititute a group for purposes of Section 13(g), which group would beneficially own an aggregate of 80,371,214 shares of Common Stock which represents approximately 53% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this statement shall be deemed an admission of membership in any such group or of ownership of the reported securities for purposes of Section 13(d) or Section 13(g) of the Exchange Act.

On November 10, 2025, in connection with the Issuer's acquisition of SciTec, LLC (the "SciTec Acquisition"), the recipients of certain newly-issued shares of Common Stock granted limited voting proxies to the AE Holders with respect to director election matters (the "Voting Proxies"). The AE Holders have undertaken to exercise the Voting Proxies solely to the extent required to maintain the reporting persons' aggregate percentage of beneficial ownership in the Common Stock as of immediately prior to the completion of the SciTec Acquisition. As a result, the group referred to in the preceding paragraph continues to beneficially own shares of Common Stock representing approximately 53% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.</sharedPowerOrDirectToDispose>
