Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
1. Description of business and basis of presentation
Organization and description of business —Alamar Biosciences, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Delaware on May 7, 2018 , and is based in Fremont, California. The Company develops a highly sensitive proteomic liquid biopsy platform and sells instruments, consumables and services based on this platform to enable early detection of diseases.
As of March 31, 2026 , the Company has wholly-owned subsidiaries in Asia, Europe and North America.
Reverse stock split —On April 8, 2026, the Company’s stockholders and board of directors approved an amendment to the Company’s certificate of incorporation to effect a reverse split of shares of the Company’s Class A and Class B common stock (collectively "Common Stock") and Founders Preferred Stock on a one-for-2.418 basis, which was effected on April 10, 2026 (the “Reverse Stock Split”). The number of authorized shares and the par values of the Common Stock and Series A-1, Series A-2, Series A-3, Series A-4, Series B, Series B-Plus and Series C convertible preferred stock ("Preferred Stock") and Founders Preferred Stock (collectively with Preferred Stock "Convertible Preferred Stock") were not adjusted as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. The number of issued and outstanding Preferred Stock were not adjusted as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. However, the conversion ratios for the Company’s Preferred Stock were proportionally adjusted such that the common stock issuable upon conversion of such Preferred Stock was decreased in proportion to the Reverse Stock Split. Likewise, the number of shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding options and common stock warrants and the related exercise price were adjusted in proportion to the Reverse Stock Split. All share and per share references, other than Preferred Stock, have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the effect of the Reverse Stock Split for all periods presented .
Initial public offering — On April 16, 2026, the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 for its initial public offering (“IPO”) was declared effective, and on April 20, 2026, the Company completed its IPO of 12,937,500 shares of its common stock (which includes the exercise in full of the underwriters’ option to purchase an additional 1,687,500 shares of common stock), at a price to the public of $ 17.00 per share. The gross proceeds to the Company from the IPO were $ 219.9 million and the net proceeds amounted t o $ 197.8 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses incurred by the Company.
Immediately prior to the IPO, all of the shares of the Company's Class A common stock, Preferred Stock and Founders Preferred Stock then outstanding converted into shares of the Company's Class B common stock (the "Stock Conversions"). The Company immediately thereafter filed an amended and restated certificate of incorporation, and upon filing of the amended and restated certificate of incorporation, the Company’s Class B common stock was redesignated as common stock (the "Redesignation"). T he Company's outstanding preferred stock warrants also converted into warrants to purchase 31,251 shares of common stock (together with the Stock Conversions, the “Conversions”). Additionally, the Company’s outstanding convertible notes were settled through the issuance of 3,910,025 shares of common stock.
The condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2026 do not give effect to the Conversions, the Redesignation or the IPO, as they occurred subsequent to March 31, 2026.
In connection with the closing of the Company’s IPO, the Company increased the authorized number of shares to 1,000,000,000 shares of common stock and 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock.
Basis of presentation —The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting and include all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position for the periods presented. The condensed results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ended December 31, 2026 or for any other future annual or interim period. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Therefore,

ALAMAR BIOSCIENCES, INC.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the final prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities Act”), on April 17, 2026 (the “Prospectus” ).
Principles of consolidation —The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Risks and uncertainties —The Company is subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to the following areas: dependence on key personnel, existing competitors or new market entrants, and dependence upon the availability of cash to sustain operations. The Company’s financial position or operating results may be materially affected by the foregoing factors.
2. Summary of significant accounting policies
For a summary of the Company’s significant accounting policies refer to “Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the notes to the financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025 included in the Prospectus. There have been no significant changes to these policies during the three months ended March 31, 2026.
Use of estimates —The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, disclosure of contingent liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenue and expense. These judgments, estimates, and assumptions are used for, but not limited to, revenue recognition, the estimates of the fair values of convertible preferred stock, convertible notes and common stock, stock-based compensation, inventory, expected credit losses, accrued liabilities, the fair value of warrant liability, discount rate associated with the leases, the estimates of the warranty expenses, and the valuation of allowances associated with deferred tax assets. The Company bases its estimates on various factors and information, which may include, but are not limited to, history and prior experience, the Company’s forecasts and future plans, current economic conditions and information from third-party professionals that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities and recorded amounts of expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. To the extent there are material differences between the Company’s estimates and the actual results, the Company’s future consolidated results of operations may be affected.
Segments —The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is its Chief Executive Officer , who manages the business globally within one operating and reportable segment. The segment focuses on developing a highly sensitive proteomic liquid biopsy platform and sells instruments, consumables, and services based on this platform to enable early detection of diseases. The CODM reviews and evaluates operating performance based on consolidated net loss, which is reported on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The CODM manages operations on a consolidated basis for the purposes of allocating resources, making operating decisions, and evaluating financial performance. Assets, measures of profitability and significant segment expenses reviewed by the CODM are consistent with the presentation and disclosure in these condensed consolidated financial statements.
Cash and cash equivalents —The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity from the date of purchase of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash deposited with banks, money market funds and US treasury securities.
Restricted cash —Restricted cash consists of cash and cash equivalents held in a bank deposit account to secure a standby letter of credit from JPMorgan Chase Bank in lieu of security deposit for the lease of the Company’s current facility.

Accounts receivable —Accounts receivable consists of amounts due from customers for the sales of products and services. The Company regularly evaluates the collectability of its trade receivable balances based on a combination of factors. If it is determined that the customer will be unable to meet its financial obligation to us, such as in the case of a bankruptcy filing, deterioration in the customer’s operating results, financial position, or other material events impacting its business, a specific allowance for credit losses is recorded to reduce the related receivable to the amount expected to be recovered, given all information presently available. Except for this allowance, the Company believes its receivables are collectible. Delinquency of accounts receivable is determined based on contractual terms, customer payment history and current creditworthiness.
The Company determined that no allowance on the outstanding accounts receivable balance was required to cover unexpected credit losses as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 , the Company did no t write off any accounts receivable considered to be uncollectible.
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 2025, no customer represented 10% or more of total revenue.
As of March 31, 2026 , no customer represented 10 % or more of net accounts receivable. As of De cember 31, 2025 , one customer represented 10 % or more of net accounts receivable.
Software development costs —Costs to develop software for use in research and development activities with no alternative future use are charged to expense when incurred. The Company capitalizes certain costs incurred during the application development phase for other internal-use software.
Software embedded in the Company's instruments is considered software that is sold or otherwise marketed. Accordingly, the Company expenses development costs as incurred prior to establishing technological feasibility of the software. To date, no material costs have been incurred subsequent to establishment of technological feasibility.
Deferred offering costs — The Company capitalizes certain legal, accounting, and other third-party fees that are directly related to the Company’s equity offering until such offering is consummated. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, a total of $ 4.9 million and $ 1.3 million in deferred offering costs related to the Company’s IPO were classified as prepaid expenses and other current assets in the condensed balance sheet. The Company closed its IPO on April 20, 2026, accordingly these costs will be recorded in stockholders’ equity as a reduction of the proceeds from the offering subsequent to March 31, 2026.
Revenue recognition —The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606 , Revenue from Contracts with Customers . Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised products or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those products or services.
As part of its assessment of each contract, the Company evaluates certain factors including the customer’s ability to pay, or credit risk. For each contract, the Company considers the promises to transfer products, each of which is distinct, to be the identified performance obligations. In determining the transaction price, the price stated on the purchase order is typically fixed and represents the net consideration which the Company expects to be entitled to, and therefore there is no variable consideration. Revenue is recorded net of distributor commissions and sales taxes collected on behalf of governmental authorities. The Company allocates the transaction price to each distinct product based on its relative standalone selling price. The Company determines standalone selling price using internal costs,

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
profit objectives, and historical pricing practices with consideration of current market conditions. If the product or service has no history of sales or if the sales volume is not sufficient, the Company relies upon prices set by management, adjusted for applicable discounts. The Company's revenue arrangements generally do not provide a right of return. The payment term is usually net 30 days or other customer negotiated terms.
The Company sells its products to customers through multiple channels, including direct sales and through distributors. In certain instances, the Company may drop-ship products directly to end customers on behalf of the distributor. The Company assesses each distributor arrangement to determine whether the distributor is acting as a principal (controlling the product before transfer) or as an agent (arranging for the end user to obtain goods). Revenue is recognized at the point in time when control of the product transfers to the customer, which is typically upon shipment or delivery, based on the contractual delivery terms.
The Company generates revenue from sales of its analytical research equipment along with related reagents. The Company also recognizes service revenue under its Technology Access Program (“TAP”) and maintenance contracts. The Company recognizes revenue from these revenue streams as follows:
• Sale of ARGO TM HT instruments —The ARGO HT System is a fully automated, high-throughput Precision Proteomics instrument which facilitates the analysis of large sets of biological samples. Revenue from the sale of ARGO HT instruments is generally recognized upon delivery to the end customer.
• Sale of reagent kits and other consumables —The reagents used to run on the ARGO HT System are specialized and proprietary and can be provided to the customers only by the Company. Revenue from the sale of reagent kits and other consumables is generally recognized upon shipment.
• TAP —TAP provides customers the opportunity to ship samples to be tested at the Company’s lab using either NULISA multiplex or single-plex assays, and analytical reports are delivered via an electronic file. Revenue from TAP services is generally recognized when the analysis data is made available to the customer.
• Sale of maintenance contracts —The Company typically provides a one-year limited warranty for the ARGO HT System. After expiration of the initial warranty period, the Company offers a further 12-month maintenance contract, which can be purchased separately or together with the ARGO HT System. Revenue from these maintenance contracts is recognized as the services are rendered, typically ratably over the contract term. For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 , no material amounts were recognized as revenue under maintenance contracts.
Advertising costs —Advertising costs consist primarily of expenses for advertising, promotional materials, tradeshows, brochures and websites and are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs totaled $ 0.8 million and $ 0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 , respectively.
Functional currency and foreign currency translation —The Company uses the U.S. dollar as its reporting currency. Transactions in the subsidiary are recorded in the functional currency of the respective subsidiary and transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency give rise to foreign exchange remeasurement (monetary assets and liabilities) and related gains and losses that are classified in other (expense) income, net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company has not entered into any foreign currency derivative instruments to hedge its foreign currency positions.
For the subsidiary whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar, the Company uses the average exchange rate for the period and the exchange rate at the balance sheet date to translate the operating results and financial position to the U.S. dollar, respectively, which is the Company’s reporting currency. Translation differences are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss, a component of stockholders’ deficit.

Recent accounting pronouncements not yet adopted
In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40) : Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses . This update requires that at each interim and annual reporting period public entities disclose (1) the amounts of purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization, and depletion) in commonly presented expense captions; (2) certain amounts that are already required to be disclosed under current GAAP in the same disclosure as the other disaggregation requirements; (3) a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively; and (4) the total amount of selling expenses and, in annual reporting periods, the definition of selling expenses. This update is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on its financial statements of adopting this guidance.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-internal-use software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for internal-use software . The standard removes references to development stages and requires capitalization of software costs when management has authorized and committed to funding the software project, it is probable that the project will be completed, and the software will be used to perform the function intended. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on its financial statements of adopting this guidance.

4. Fair value measurements
Carrying amounts of certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to their relatively short maturities.
On a recurring basis, the Company measures certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value, including the Company’s cash equivalents. There were no transfers between levels during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 . The following table sets forth the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2026 based on the three-tier fair value hierarchy (in thousands):

Warrant liabilities
The Company issued warrants to purchase shares of its convertible preferred stock, which did not meet the criteria for equity classification and are therefore classified as a liability. The estimated fair value of the convertible preferred stock warrant liability as of March 31, 2026 and 2025 was determined based on significant inputs not observable in the market, which represents a Level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy.
There were no material changes in the fair value of the Company’s warrant liabilities in the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.
Convertible notes
As of March 31, 2026, the total estimated fair value of the convertible notes issued in January 2026 was $ 65.1 million. The fair value was determined based on a probability-weighted approach assuming the notes settled through an automatic conversion either upon an IPO or upon maturity. The value in an IPO scenario is directly calculated based on contractual terms. The fair value of the shares received upon conversion upon maturity is determined using an option pricing model to allocate the equity value of the Company to each class of security. The inputs to this calculation included the Company's volatility which is a significant unobservable input and results in this calculation being considered a Level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy. As of March 31, 2026, the assumed volatility was 68.5 %. Refer to Note 7—Financing Arrangements for additional terms of the convertible notes.

The Company’s product warranty provides that the ARGO HT System will operate materially in accordance with specifications for 12 months from the delivery date. The warranty does not provide the customer with a service in addition to the assurance that the product complies with agreed-upon specifications, therefore it is an assurance type warranty. The Company uses its understanding of industrial practice, expected site visits, potential use of spare parts, and other relevant information to accrue estimated warranty costs upon delivery of the ARGO HT Systems.

7. Financing arrangements
Convertible notes
On January 8, 2026, the Company issued unsecured convertible loan notes (the "Convertible Notes") to investors in an aggregate principal amount equal to the gross cash proceeds of $ 56.5 million. $ 15.6 million of the $ 56.5 million aggregate principal amount of issued Convertible Notes was purchased by investors that are considered related parties including Illumina Innovation Fund II, L.P., a fund affiliated with a member of the Company's board of directors and Sands Capital Life Sciences Pulse Fund II, L.P., a fund affiliated with a member of the Company's board of directors . The Convertible Notes mature 18 months from the initial issuance of the notes, if not earlier converted, and, after July 31, 2026, will accrue simple interest on a daily basis at 8 % per annum. If Convertible Notes remain outstanding upon maturity, the Convertible Notes and all accrued and unpaid interest automatically convert into a variable number of shares of a new series of the Company's preferred stock with the number of shares dependent upon the trailing 12 months revenue and the Company's fully-diluted capitalization at maturity. In the event of an IPO, the Convertible Notes convert into shares of common stock at a conversion price equal to 85 % of the offering price. The Convertible Notes are also subject to automatic or optional settlement in other events such as a qualifying or nonqualifying financing event or a change in control.
The Convertible Notes are accounted for under the fair value option, and issuance costs of $ 0.4 million were expensed upon closing. The Company recognized a loss on fair value remeasurement of the Convertible Notes of $ 8.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026.
Upon the closing of the Company's IPO, the Convertible Notes automatically converted into shares of its common stock as disclosed in Note 1— Description of Business and Basis of Presentation above.
8. Stock plan
In July 2018, the Company’s board of directors approved the adoption of a stock plan (the “Stock Plan”) and the board of directors periodically approves changes in the number of authorized shares under the plan. The Stock Plan provides for the grant of restricted stock awards, incentive and non-statutory stock options and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to employees, nonemployee directors and consultants of the Company. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 , only stock options had been granted under the Stock Plan. The stock option awards generally include service condition vesting terms of four years , with 25 % of the award vesting one year from the vesting commencement date and then ratably over the following 36 months , though some vest over shorter periods, vesting monthly from grant date. Options granted under the Stock Plan generally expire ten years from the date of grant. Options are exercisable only to the extent vested unless early exercise is approved by the Company’s board of directors.
As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 , 31,567 and 35,629 shares of common stock granted pursuant to the early exercise of options were outstanding and subject to the Company’s repurchase right. The exercise price of all stock options granted under the Stock Plan must be at least equal to 100 % of the fair value of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant, as determined by the Company's board of directors. As of March 31, 2026 , total shares available for grant under the Stock Plan were 359,490 .
For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense as follows (in thousands):

Following the IPO, Phantom Shares may be converted into common shares at a defined conversion price. Upon completion of the IPO and government registration, all outstanding Phantom Options automatically convert into options to acquire common stock. The Company issued 8,945 phantom stock options during the three months ended March 31, 2026 with a weighted-average exercise price of $ 7.59 per share.

9. Commitments and contingencies
Legal proceedings
Olink Proteomics AB and Olink Proteomics, Inc. v. Alamar Biosciences, Inc ., United States District Court for the District of Delaware, Case No. 1:23-cv-1303-MN. Olink Proteomics AB and Olink Proteomics, Inc. commenced the litigation on November 15, 2023. The complaint alleges infringement of U.S. Patent No. 7,883,848 by Alamar’s manufacture, use, offer for sale, sale, marketing and/or distribution of its Nucleic acid Linked Immuno-Sandwich Assay (“NULISA”) platform used with or without its ARGO HT system. The asserted patent relates to a method for detecting functional interactions between at least two molecules of interest. Alamar filed a motion to dismiss, which the Court granted on February 11, 2025, without prejudice to Olink filing an amended complaint. The case is currently stayed. The case was stayed pending the outcome of IPR2024-01353 and the Final Written Decision issued on March 4, 2026, described below. Olink filed an amended complaint, repleading its claims under U.S. Patent No. 7,883,848, on April 2, 2026. The court lifted the stay of the Delaware district court litigation on April 7, 2026.
Alamar Biosciences, Inc. v. Olink Proteomics AB , United States Patent and Trademark Office, Patent Trial and Appeal Board (“PTAB”), Case No. IPR2024-01353. On August 23, 2024, Alamar filed a Petition for Inter Partes Review challenging all claims of U.S. Patent No. 7,883,848. The PTAB instituted trial on all grounds raised in Alamar’s Petition. On March 4, 2026, the PTAB issued a Final Written Decision finding that no claims were unpatentable. Alamar has 30 days from this decision to seek Rehearing, 30 days to seek Director Review, and 63 days to file a notice of appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. As of March 31, 2026 and 2025 , losses are not probable or estimable.
10. Leases
In November 2021, the Company entered into a noncancelable operating lease for its current headquarters. The lease, as amended, commenced in January 2022 and expires in January 2034. A portion of the facility was subleased to Attovia Therapeutics, Inc. (“Attovia”) , a related party, through March 2025. See Note 11—Related party transactions for additional information. The Company also leases office space in Europe and Asia as of March 31, 2026.
As of March 31, 2026 , the Company has one lease in China which has not yet commenced or been recognized, since the facility is not yet available for the Company’s use. Fixed lease payments for the lease which is expected to commence in the second or third quarter of 2026 are $ 1.3 million over the five -year lease term.
In April 2026, the Company entered a lease for manufacturing, research and office space in Fremont, California. Delivery of the premises for construction of leasehold improvements is expected during the second quarter of 2026. The initial term of the lease is approximately 159 months depending on the timing of completion of leasehold improvements. The Company is eligible to receive up to $ 7.5 million in tenant improvement allowances. The total future minimum lease payments are up to $ 33.9 million of which no ne are due in the next 12 months.

12. ADDF Funding Agreement
In December 2024, the Company entered into the Agreement for Biotechnology Funding (the “Funding Agreement”) with the Alzheimer’s Drug Discovery Foundation (“ADDF”) to support research and development activities for the project “Development of ARGO DX”. The Funding Agreement provides up to $ 10.0 million over 36 months, commencing within six weeks of acceptance.
Funds must be used solely for activities described in the grant proposal titled “Development of ARGO DX for a new generation of blood-based diagnostics for Alzheimer’s disease and related neurodegenerative diseases” or a revised grant proposal approved in writing by ADDF. This funding is distributed across various milestones, including product definition, prototype development, manufacturing, analytical and clinical testing, and FDA submission. In exchange, the Company has agreed to pay ADDF a low single digit royalty on sales of the ARGO DX as well as certain milestone payments based on sales of the ARGO DX, up to an aggregate of $ 4.75 million in potential payments.
The Company has determined that the ADDF agreement is not within the scope of ASC 606 or other authoritative literature. The Company has determined that the payment from ADDF represents a reduction of research and development expense and recognizes the funding received as services are provided. Payments received are recorded within accrued and other current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets until they are earned.

13. Net loss per share
The following outstanding shares of common stock equivalents were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 because including them would have had an anti-dilutive effect:

(1) In applying the if-converted method, conversion of the Convertible Notes was not assumed for purposes of computing diluted earnings per share as the effect would be anti-dilutive. As the number of shares underlying the Convertible Notes is subject to contingencies such as the occurrence of an IPO, and the IPO price, the Convertible Notes are considered contingently issuable potential common shares. As no contingencies had been met as of March 31, 2026, the number of shares excluded from earnings per share due to the anti-dilutive effect was based on the conversion price calculation used upon maturity, as if the conversion occurred on March 31, 2026.
14. Subsequent events
As described in Note 1—Description of Business and Basis of Presentation, the Company completed its IPO and related transactions on April 20, 2026. In connection with the closing of the Company’s IPO, the Company increased the authorized number of shares to 1,000,000,000 shares of common stock and 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock.
In April 2026, the Company’s board of directors adopted, and the Company’s stockholders approved, the 2026 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2026 Plan”), which became effective immediately prior to and contingent upon the execution of the underwriting agreement related to the Company’s IPO. In connection with the IPO, the Company issued certain directors and employees, including its executive officers, stock options to purchase an aggregate of 1,396,974 shares of its common stock with an exercise price of $ 17.00 per share, under the 2026 Plan. In addition, in connection with the IPO, the Company granted certain directors and employees, including its executive officers, an aggregate of 314,611 RSUs under the 2026 Plan.
