On December 6, 2024, we completed an initial public offering (the “IPO”) of 2.2 million shares of common stock at a price of $5.00 per share, which included 0.3 million shares sold to the underwriters pursuant to their option to purchase additional shares. After underwriting discounts and commissions of $0.8 million and offering expenses of $2.6 million, we received net proceeds from the IPO of $7.5 million. In connection with the IPO, 4.0 million outstanding shares of preferred stock were converted into 18.7 million shares of common stock. See Note 1 (Description of Business and Basis of Presentation) for more information.

Common Stock Purchase Agreement

On July 8, 2025, the Company entered into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement (the “ELOC Agreement”) with Tumim Stone Capital LLC (“Tumim”). Pursuant to the ELOC Agreement, the Company has the right to sell to Tumim up to $30,000,000 worth of newly issued shares (the “ELOC Shares”) of the Company’s common stock (subject to certain conditions and limitations), from time to time during the term of the ELOC Agreement. Sales of common stock pursuant to the ELOC Agreement, and the timing of any sales, are solely at the option of the Company and the Company is under no obligation to sell securities pursuant to this arrangement. Shares of common stock may be sold by the Company pursuant to this arrangement over a period of up to 24 months after the closing of the transactions contemplated by the ELOC Agreement.

The Company controls the timing and amount of any sales of common stock to Tumim. Actual sales of ELOC Shares to Tumim under the ELOC Agreement will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by the Company from time to time, including, among other things, market conditions, the trading price of the common stock, trading volume of the common stock and determinations by the Company as to the appropriate sources of funding for the Company and its operations.

The Company agreed to reimburse Tumim for the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including legal fees and expenses), up to a maximum of $25,000.

In all instances, the Company may not sell shares of our common stock to Tumim under the ELOC Agreement if it would result in Tumim beneficially owning more than 4.99% of the outstanding common stock.

The net proceeds from sales, under the ELOC Agreement, depend on the frequency and prices at which the Company sells shares of common stock to Tumim. To the extent the Company sells shares under the ELOC Agreement, the Company currently plans to use any proceeds therefrom for operating expenses, working capital and other general corporate purposes.

The ELOC Agreement will automatically terminate on the earliest to occur of (i) the 24-month anniversary after July 8, 2025, (ii) the date on which Tumim has purchased the total commitment worth of shares of common stock, (iii) the date on which the common stock shall have failed to be listed or quoted on The Nasdaq Capital Market or any other “Eligible Market” (as defined in the ELOC Agreement), (iv) 30 trading days after the Company commences a voluntary bankruptcy proceeding or any person commences a proceeding against the Company, or (v) the date on which a custodian is appointed for the Company or for all or substantially all of its property, or the Company makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors. The Company has the right to terminate the ELOC Agreement at any time after Commencement, at no cost or penalty, upon five trading days’ prior written notice to Tumim.

As of December 31, 2025, the total shares issued under the ELOC Agreement are 6,482,141 for total proceeds of $5.6 million.

Notice of Delisting

On November 25, 2025, the Company received a written notice from the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that the Company is not in compliance with the continued listing requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(2), which requires listed companies to maintain a minimum market value of listed securities (“MVLS”) of at least $35,000,000. Based on the Staff’s review of the Company’s MVLS, the Company’s MVLS was below $35 million for the previous 30 consecutive business days. In addition, on December 11, 2025, the Company received another notice from the Staff notifying the Company that the closing bid price of its common stock was below $1.00 for the previous 30 consecutive business days.

Neither of the notices from Nasdaq have immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market. In accordance with Nasdaq’s listing rules, the Company has a period of 180 calendar days, or until May 26, 2026, to regain compliance with the MVLS requirement and a period of 180 calendar days, or until June 9, 2026, to regain compliance with the bid price requirement. To regain compliance with the MVLS requirement, the MVLS of the Company’s common stock must close at $35 million or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days during this compliance period, unless Nasdaq exercises its discretion to require a longer period. To regain compliance with the bid price requirement, the minimum bid price of the Company’s common stock must be $1.00 or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days during this compliance period, unless Nasdaq exercises its discretion to require a longer period.

If the Company does not regain compliance within the prescribed periods, the Staff will provide written notification that the Company’s securities are subject to delisting. The Company may then appeal the Staff’s determination to a Hearings Panel pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5815(a), but there can be no assurance that Nasdaq would grant the Company’s request for approval of its compliance plan.

The Company intends to actively monitor its MVLS and its bid price and is evaluating its options to regain compliance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules or will otherwise be in compliance with other Nasdaq listing criteria.

Warrants

In connection with the IPO, the Company issued to the underwriter warrants to purchase 107,813 shares of common stock (including the over-allotment option exercised) at an exercise price of $7.50 per share. The warrants expire five years after the IPO in December 2029. The Company used the Black-Scholes method to determine the fair value of the warrants at the time of issuance to the underwriter and determined the warrants meet the requirements under ASC 480, ASC 718, and ASC 815-40 to be classified as equity. The fair market value of the warrants was determined to be $0.2 million at the time of issuance in December 2024.

Series A Preferred Stock

The Series A preferred stock had the following rights and privileges until all outstanding shares of the Series A preferred stock were converted into 3,874,946 shares of common stock as part of the Company’s IPO on December 6, 2024:

Dividend Rights

The holders of the Series A preferred stock are entitled to receive dividends at the rate of 11% per annum of the purchase price per share. The dividends accrued on a daily basis whether or not they are declared by the Board of Directors. No dividends were declared by the Board of Directors. Therefore, while the dividends were accruing on a daily basis, the Company had not recorded this as a liability on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

Redemption Rights (Liquidation)

In the event of certain capital transactions deemed to be a liquidation transaction, the holders of the Series A preferred stock were entitled to a per share liquidation preference, plus any declared but unpaid dividends on such shares, prior to distributions to any class of common stockholders.

Conversion Rights

Each share of Series A preferred stock could be voluntarily converted into shares of common stock at any time. All outstanding shares of Series A preferred stock automatically converted into common stock upon the closing of the IPO by dividing the original issue price, as adjusted for dividends, by the conversion price. The initial Series A preferred conversion price was $0.7744515 per share. The conversion price was subject to adjustment upon issuances of additional shares of common stock if the consideration paid per common share is less than the conversion price in effect immediately prior to the issuance of additional shares.

Voting Rights

Holders of the Series A preferred stock were entitled to cast the number of votes equal to 100 times the number of shares of common stock into which the shares of Series A preferred stock could be converted. Common stockholders are entitled to one vote for each share of common stock held.

NCNV Preferred Stock
