Proposal 1 does not require the appointment of any specific director to the Board, it seeks approval from the stockholders to allow WLFI to select a second member of the Board, who will be appointed by the Board in accordance with applicable laws and the Company’s governing documents.

 

The Company intends to revise Proposal 1 to read as follows in its Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A. The concepts of the revised Proposal 1, including removing the reference to any specific individual being appointed to the board, will be reflected throughout the Definitive Proxy Statement.

 

To approve, for purposes of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635, the contractual requirements related to a private placement offering that closed on August 12, 2025, including the issuance of 119,000,000 shares of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), upon the exercise of pre-funded warrants and common stock purchase warrants held by World Liberty Financial, Inc. (“WLFI”) and the appointment to the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) by the Board of a second director candidate selected by WLFI.

 

2.We note that the appointment of the director to the board appears to be an action taken with respect to the election of a director. Accordingly, please revise the proxy to include all information required by Items 7 and 8 of Schedule 14A, or advise.

 

RESPONSE: We respectfully acknowledge the Staff’s comment and refer the Staff to our response to the first comment, which includes a clarification that Proposal 1 will not require the appointment of a specific individual to Board.
