Also, GEM is entitled to be reimbursed for legal or other costs or expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing, or defending against any such loss. To date, we have not raised any capital pursuant to the GEM Agreement and we may not raise any capital pursuant to the GEM Agreement prior to its expiration. Restrictions pursuant to terms of our future financings may also affect our ability to raise capital pursuant to the GEM Agreement. The Company cannot reasonably estimate the potential losses, if any, with respect to the GEM Agreement or the related litigation.

Legal Matters GEM Yield Bahamas Limited Litigation On November 1, 2024, we filed a lawsuit against GYBL in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Court”), under which we asserted two causes of action: (i) rescission of the GEM Warrants issued to GYBL under the GEM Agreement, by and among us, GYBL and GEM Global Yield LLC SCS, under Section 29(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), due to GYBL’s underlying violation of Section 15(a) of the Exchange Act for effecting the GEM Warrants as an unregistered dealer, and (ii) in the alternative, a declaratory judgment that the exercise price adjustment calculation of the GEM Warrants is governed by the terms provided in the GEM Warrants, rather than the terms of the GEM Agreement. Following a motion to dismiss filed by GYBL on January 17, 2025, the Court granted such motion to dismiss on March 14, 2025. On April 15, 2025, we filed an appeal of the Court’s decision dismissing our case to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit (the “Second Circuit”). The briefing schedule at the Second Circuit is being held in abeyance in order to allow two previously filed appeals, filed by two other public companies on identical issues against other similar investors, be resolved first. However, if and when the appellate briefing moves forward, there is no assurance that it will be successful. Additionally, following the Court’s grant of GYBL’s motion to dismiss our lawsuit, GYBL filed a separate lawsuit against us, in which GYBL is asserting two causes of action against us: (1) breach of the terms of the GEM Warrants, and (2) declaratory relief concerning the validity and enforceability of the GEM Warrants. In addition to the declaratory relief, GYBL is seeking monetary damages in an amount to be determined at trial, specific performance of the GEM Warrants and attorneys’ fees and litigation costs. On June 9, 2025, we filed a motion to dismiss this lawsuit from GYBL. GYBL responded to our motion to dismiss on June 23, 2025 asserting that our motion to dismiss should be denied, or, in the alternative, GYBL should be given leave to further amend its complaint. On June 30, 2025, the Company filed a reply in support of its motion to dismiss.
