Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
During the Quarter ended March 31, 2026, we had the following unregistered securities transactions:
In March 2026, we issued a convertible promissory note to NCH Ventures, LLC in the aggregate principal amount of $0.75 million with an interest rate of 8.0% per annum and maturing on March 13, 2028. In connection with the NCH Convertible Note, we also issued to NCH Ventures, LLC warrants with a value of $750,000 on March 13, 2026. The warrants have a term of five years from the later of (i) date of issuance or (ii) following an IPO. The warrants may be exercised by payment of the exercise price in cash or via cashless exercise. The warrants were sold and issued without registration under the Securities Act, in reliance on the exemptions provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act as transactions not involving a public offering and Rule 506 promulgated under the Securities Act as sales to accredited investors, and in reliance on similar exemptions under applicable state laws.
Unless otherwise stated, the issuances of the above securities were deemed to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act in reliance upon Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act or Regulation D promulgated thereunder, or Rule 701 promulgated under Section 3(b) of the Securities Act as transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering or pursuant to benefit plans and contracts relating to compensation as provided under Rule 701. Individuals who purchased securities as described above represented their intention to acquire the securities for investment only and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution thereof, and appropriate legends were affixed to the share certificates issued in such transactions.
None of the foregoing transactions involved any underwriters, underwriting discounts or commissions or any public offering.

Use of Proceeds from our Initial Public Offering
On May 18, 2026, we closed our initial public offering, in which we issued and sold 2,500,000 units, with each unit consisting of one share of our common stock and one warrant to purchase one share of our common stock, at a public offering price of $7.75 per unit, for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $19.4 million, before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses payable by us. The shares of common stock and warrants comprising the units were immediately separable and were issued separately in the initial public offering. The warrants issued as part of the initial public offering were issued under a warrant agent agreement between us and Equiniti Trust Company, LLC, as warrant agent, exercisable immediately upon issuance, expire five years from the date of original issuance and have an exercise price of $9.69 per share.
Lucid Capital Markets, LLC acted as lead underwriter and representative for the offering. All of the securities issued and sold in the initial public offering were registered under the Securities Act pursuant to our registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-294453), as amended, which was declared effective by the SEC on May 14, 2026. Following the sale of these securities, the offering terminated. As our initial public offering closed after the period covered by this report, none of the proceeds from our initial public offering were used during the period covered by this report. There has been no material change in the planned use of proceeds from our initial public offering as described in our final prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act.
