- [F1]On November 14, 2023, the Reporting Person was granted a performance-based stock option award to purchase up to 5,000,000 shares of common stock (the "Award") if and to the extent the five equal tranches of the Award are earned based on the achievement of certain absolute revenue and stock price goals. On August 26, 2025, achievement of the revenue goal for the fifth tranche of 1,000,000 shares under the Award was certified, which resulted in the creation of a reportable derivative security under Section 16. This fifth tranche will be earned and exercisable only if and when the applicable $110 stock price goal achievement is certified.
