Note 13 – Long-Term Incentive Plan

On March 17, 2021, the Company granted options to purchase a total of 5,784,000 shares of common stock to its officers and certain other members of its management team. The options were granted under the Company’s 2014 Incentive Stock Plan. The options had an exercise price of $19.00, with 375,000 options vesting immediately and the remaining portion vesting upon the achievement of certain equity market capitalization milestones, and revenue and EBITDA operational milestones. As of June 17, 2025, a total of 5,359,500 of these options that were unvested were cancelled after receipt of stockholder approval at the Company’s 2025 Annual Shareholders Meeting for such cancellation coupled with a simultaneous issuance of new RSUs and PSU to those remaining option holders as described in Note 12.

The award exchange was accounted for as a modification under ASC Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation. Under modification accounting compensation cost to be recognized over the revised requisite service period include the unrecognized cost of the original award that was previously deemed probable, the fair value of the new award if the prior award was not deemed probable, as well as any incremental cost, representing the excess of the fair value of the new awards over the fair value of the old award immediately prior to modification. As a result of the

modification, there was a remaining fair market value of $1,871,276 and this cost will be recognized over the new requisite service period of the replacement awards, which is thirty and half months (30.5) beginning on June 17, 2025.

For the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded non-cash stock-based compensation expense of nil and $1,409,294, respectively, for LTIP options that vested or were probable to vest, prior to their cancellation effective June 16, 2025. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded non-cash stock-based compensation expense of $1,180,356 and $4,227,880, respectively, for LTIP options that vested or were probable to vest, prior to their cancellation effective June 16, 2025. These expenses are presented in the same financial statement line items in the Statements of Operations as the cash-based compensation expenses for the same employees.
