On March 19, 2026, Yun Yao, an Australian citizen and an individual, as the lead investor ("Lead Purchaser"), and the purchasers party thereto (each a "Purchaser," and collectively with the Lead Purchaser, the "Purchasers") entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with David Elliot Lazar (the "Seller") (a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1), pursuant to which the Purchasers agreed to acquire from the Seller all of the Seller's right, title and interest in (i) 196,800 shares of the Issuer's Series AA Convertible Non Redeemable Preferred Stock and (ii) 700,000 shares of the Issuer's Series AAA Convertible Non Redeemable Preferred Stock (collectively, the "Preferred Stock") for an aggregate purchase price of $11,200,000 (the "Purchase Price"), payable to the Seller (subject to the escrow and holdback arrangements described in the Purchase Agreement). The closing of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement (the "Closing") occurred on March 23, 2026, following the satisfaction or waiver of certain customary closing conditions.

In connection with the Closing, the Preferred Stock acquired by the Reporting Persons was converted into shares of Common Stock on March 24, 2026.

On February 26, 2026, the Issuer's stockholders approved the issuance of shares of the Issuer's Common Stock upon conversion of the Preferred Stock for purposes of the rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market and the related amendment to the Issuer's certificate of incorporation. Following such approval and the effectiveness of the charter amendment, each share of Series AA Preferred Stock became convertible into 20 shares of Common Stock and each share of Series AAA Preferred Stock became convertible into 150 shares of Common Stock, in each case subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable certificates of designation. The Purchase Price was deposited by the Purchasers with Continental Stock Transfer and Trust Company, as escrow agent (the "Escrow Agent"), pursuant to an escrow agreement with a six-month term (subject to extension for any outstanding claims). The Purchase Price was disbursed to Seller on the Closing Date in an amount equal to the Purchase Price less (a) a holdback amount equal to five percent (5%) of the Purchase Price, to be released to Seller in accordance with the terms of the escrow agreement, and (b) any Excess Director Payments (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), if any. Except as set forth in the Purchaser Agreement, there is no agreement, arrangement or understanding among the Reporting Persons with respect to the voting, disposition or control of the securities of the Issuer.
