As of December 31, 2025, there were 2,107,757 shares of common stock underlying the outstanding convertible notes that would be entitled to the dividend payments if converted in accordance with the note terms, representing a potential contingent distribution totaling approximately $105,000.

As of December 31, 2025, approximately 3,844,190 shares of common stock had completed the opt-in process and remained eligible for the Loyalty Payment.
