RISK FACTORS

Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. Before making your decision to invest in shares of our common stock, you should carefully consider the risks described below, together with the other information contained in this prospectus or incorporated herein by reference, including in the section titled "Special note regarding forward-looking statements" and the consolidated financial statements and related notes, and the risks and uncertainties discussed under "Risk Factors" in Part I, Item 1A of the 2025 Form 10-K and in Part II, Item 1A of the Q1 2026 Form 10-Q, the Q2 2026 Form 10-Q and the Q3 2026 Form 10-Q, which are incorporated by reference herein in their entirety. The risks and uncertainties described below or incorporated herein by reference are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties that we are unaware of or that we deem immaterial may also become important factors that adversely affect our business. We cannot assure you that any of the events discussed below will not occur. These events could have a material and adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. If that were to happen, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment.

Risks Related to This Offering and Our Common Stock

A sale of a substantial amount of shares of our common stock may cause the price of our common stock to decline and cause our existing stockholders to experience substantial dilution.

We are registering for resale up to 27,820,000 shares of our common stock held by, or issuable upon the exercise of Pre-Funded Warrants or conversion of Series A Preferred Stock held by, the Selling Stockholders, which is a significant number of shares compared to the current number of total shares of common stock issued and outstanding. As a result, an existing stockholder's proportionate interest in us will be substantially diluted. The actual number of shares of common stock that we issue to the Selling Stockholders may be less than the aggregate number of shares covered by this prospectus.

We cannot predict if and when the Selling Stockholders may sell such shares and what effect, if any, sales of our shares in the public market or the availability of shares for sale will have on the market price of our common stock. However, future sales of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales may occur, could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

In addition, to raise capital, we may sell common stock, convertible securities or other equity-linked securities in one or more transactions at prices and in a manner we determine from time to time. To the extent that additional capital is raised through the sale and issuance of shares of our common stock or other securities convertible into shares of our common stock, our stockholders will be diluted. These sales, or the perception in the market that the holders of a large number of shares of our common stock intend to sell shares, could reduce the market price of our common stock.

You may experience future dilution as a result of future equity offerings and other issuances of our securities.

In order to raise additional capital, we may in the future offer additional shares of common stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for our common stock at prices that may not be the same as the price per share paid by the investors in this offering. We may not be able to sell shares or other securities in any other offering at a price per share that is equal to or greater than the price per share paid by the investors in this offering, and investors purchasing shares or other securities in the future could have rights superior to existing stockholders. The price per share at which we sell additional shares of common stock or securities convertible into shares of common stock in future transactions may be higher or lower than the price per share paid to the selling stockholders. Our stockholders will incur dilution upon exercise of any outstanding stock options, warrants or other convertible securities or upon the issuance of shares of common stock under our stock incentive programs.

Any additional capital raised through the sale of equity or equity-backed securities may dilute our stockholders' ownership percentages and could also result in a decrease in the market value of our equity securities. The terms of any securities issued by us in future capital transactions may be more favorable to new investors, and may include preferences, superior voting rights and the issuance of warrants or other derivative securities, which may have a further dilutive effect on the holders of any of our securities then outstanding.

In addition, we may incur substantial costs in pursuing future capital financing, including investment banking fees, legal fees, accounting fees, securities law compliance fees, printing and distribution expenses and other costs. We may also be required to recognize non-cash expenses in connection with certain securities we may issue, such as convertible notes and warrants, which may adversely impact our financial condition.

Holders of our Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to certain dividend payments under the Certificate of Designation that may increase over time and could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

The Series A Preferred Stock will accrue a cumulative dividend at the rate (the "Dividend Rate") of 5.00% per annum on the original issue price (as increased by prior PIK Dividends) (the "PIK Dividend"), compounding annually and payable in kind by increasing the liquidation preference and accreted value of the Series A Preferred Stock. The PIK Dividend will automatically accrue daily from the date of issuance and compound on each anniversary thereof without requirement of any further action (including the declaration of dividends) by the Company. Beginning on June 30, 2030, the Company may elect to pay accrued and unpaid dividends for any quarterly period in cash, provided that the Company satisfies minimum earnings, leverage and liquidity requirements (the "Minimum Financial Metrics"). The Series A Preferred Stock will also entitle holders to participate in any dividends or distributions paid or made on the common stock on an as-converted basis.

If the common stock is not listed on a national securities exchange on or before the date that is eighteen (18) months after the closing date of the Preferred Stock Investment (the "Closing Date"), the dividend rate will increase by two hundred (200) basis points per annum on such date and an additional one hundred (100) basis points on each anniversary of such date thereafter. Beginning on the four (4) year anniversary of the Closing Date and on each June 30, September 30, December 31 and March 31 thereafter, (x) the Regular Dividend Rate (as defined in the Certificate of Designation) will increase by two hundred (200) basis points during certain periods if the Minimum Financial Metrics are not satisfied or one hundred (100) basis points if the Minimum Financial Metrics are satisfied, subject, in each case, to a maximum regular dividend rate of thirteen percent (13.0%) per annum.

If such rate increases occur, our financial obligations to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock could become significantly more burdensome. Also, our ability to make payments due to the holders of our Series A Preferred Stock using cash is limited by the amount of cash we have on hand at the time such payments are due as well as certain provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL").

The Certificate of Designation contains anti-dilution provisions that may dilute the interests of our common stockholders, depress the price of our common stock and make it difficult for us to raise additional capital.

If we issue common stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock at a price less than the then-applicable conversion price of the Preferred Shares (the "Conversion Price"), then the Conversion Price will be reduced on a weighted-average basis that provides for more significant adjustment in the case of securities issued at a price (or deemed price) that is less than 50% of the then-effective Conversion Price. The Conversion Price is also subject to customary adjustments in the case of a spinoff, recapitalization, rights distribution or similar transaction, with distribution of rights, options or warrants at an exercise price below the then-applicable Conversion Price triggering additional adjustment under the weighted-average basis described above. Such adjustments can dilute the book value per share of common stock. In addition, the perceived risk of dilution may cause our stockholders to be more inclined to sell their common stock, which may in turn depress the price of our shares of common stock regardless of our business performance. We may also find it more difficult to raise additional equity capital while any of the Preferred Shares remain outstanding.

The Certificate of Designation contains protective provisions and preemptive rights that that may make it difficult to procure additional financing and that may affect our financial condition and results of operations.

The Certificate of Designation contains certain protective provisions that require the prior approval of the Majority Holders (as defined in the Certificate of Designation) before we may take certain actions, including, but not limited to, the acquisition of assets, the incurrence of indebtedness and liens, transactions with stockholders, sales and dispositions of assets, the payment of dividends and other distributions, the

issuance of equity capital, any change in the authorized number of directors and any voluntary bankruptcy filing, in each case subject to certain exceptions. These protective provisions may limit our flexibility in raising capital, pursuing strategic transactions or otherwise managing our business, which may have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. If we require additional funding while these restrictions remain in effect, we may be unable to effect a financing transaction on terms acceptable to us, or at all, while also remaining in compliance with the terms of the Certificate of Designation, or we may be forced to seek a waiver from the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, which such holders are not obligated to grant to us.

The Certificate of Designation also provides that eligible holders of the Series A Preferred Stock have the right to participate, on a pro rata basis, in certain future offerings of our equity and debt securities. These preemptive rights could make it more difficult or time-consuming for us to consummate future capital-raising transactions, and the participation of Series A Preferred Stock holders in such offerings could increase the overall dilution to our existing common stockholders.

Under the 2025 PIPE Purchase Agreement, the Company is restricted from entering into or effecting variable rate transactions until January 2, 2027.

These protective provisions and other limitations may limit our flexibility in raising capital or incurring any indebtedness, which may have an adverse effect on our financial condition.

USE OF PROCEEDS

The proceeds from the sale of the Shares offered pursuant to this prospectus are solely for the accounts of the Selling Stockholders. Accordingly, we will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the Shares offered by this prospectus. See "Selling Stockholders" and "Plan of Distribution" below.

The Selling Stockholders may sell the Shares directly through purchasers or through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, who may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions. The Selling Stockholders may sell the Shares at any time at market prices prevailing at the time of sale or at privately negotiated prices. The Selling Stockholders will bear all underwriting fees, commissions and discounts, if any, attributable to the sales of Shares and any transfer taxes.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

The shares of common stock being offered by the Selling Stockholders are those previously issued to the Selling Stockholders, and those issuable to the Selling Stockholders, upon exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants and/or conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock. For additional information regarding the issuances of those shares of common stock, Pre-Funded Warrants and Series A Preferred Stock, see "Recent Developments" above. We are registering the shares of common stock in order to permit the Selling Stockholders to offer the shares for resale from time to time. Except for the purchase and ownership of the shares of common stock, Pre-Funded Warrants and Series A Preferred Stock, as applicable and except as described in our periodic reports and current reports filed with the SEC from time to time, the Selling Stockholders have not had any material relationship with us within the past three years.

The table below lists the Selling Stockholders and other information regarding the beneficial ownership of the shares of common stock by each of the Selling Stockholders. The second column lists the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by each Selling Stockholder, based on its ownership of the shares of common stock and warrants, as of April 22, 2026, assuming exercise of other rights held by the Selling Stockholders on that date, without regard to any limitations on exercises.

The third column lists the shares of common stock being offered by this prospectus by the selling shareholders.

In accordance with the terms of a registration rights agreement with the Selling Stockholders, this prospectus generally covers the resale of the sum of the (i) number of shares of common stock issued to the Selling Stockholders in the "Recent Developments" described above, (ii) the maximum number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the related Pre-Funded Warrants, determined as if the outstanding Pre-Funded Warrants were exercised in full as of the trading day immediately preceding the date this registration statement was initially filed with the SEC, each as of the trading day immediately preceding the applicable date of determination and all subject to adjustment as provided in the registration right agreement, without regard to any limitations on the exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants and (iii) the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock (reflecting 150% of the initial number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock). The fourth column assumes the sale of all the shares offered by the Selling Stockholders pursuant to this prospectus. Under the terms of the Pre-Funded Warrants held by the Selling Stockholders, a Selling Stockholder may not exercise any such Pre-Funded Warrant to the extent such exercise would cause such Selling Stockholder, together with its affiliates and attribution parties, to beneficially own a number of shares of common stock which would exceed 4.99% or 9.99%, as applicable, of our then outstanding shares of common stock following such exercise, excluding for purposes of such determination shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of such Pre-Funded Warrants which have not been exercised. The number of shares in the second and fourth columns do not reflect this limitation. The Selling Stockholders may sell all, some or none of their shares in this offering. Because the Conversion Price of the Series A Preferred Stock may be adjusted, the number of shares that will actually be issued may be more or less than the number of shares being offered by this prospectus. See "Plan of Distribution."

The Selling Stockholders may sell all, some or none of their shares in this offering. See "Plan of Distribution."

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

Each Selling Stockholder of the securities and any of their pledgees, assignees, transferees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their securities covered hereby on the principal trading market or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the securities are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. A Selling Stockholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling securities:

•

ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

​

•

block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the securities as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

​

•

purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

​

•

an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

​

•

privately negotiated transactions;

​

•

settlement of short sales;

​

•

in transactions through broker-dealers that agree with the Selling Stockholders to sell a specified number of such securities at a stipulated price per security;

​

•

through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;

​

•

a combination of any such methods of sale; or

​

•

any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

​

The Selling Stockholders may also sell securities under Rule 144 or any other exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), if available, rather than under this prospectus.

A Selling Stockholder that is an entity may elect to make an in-kind distribution of shares of common stock to its partners, members or stockholders pursuant to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part by delivering a prospectus, as amended or supplemented. To the extent that such partners, members or stockholders are not affiliates of ours, such partners, members or stockholders would thereby receive freely tradable shares of common stock pursuant to the distribution effected through this registration statement.

Broker-dealers engaged by the Selling Stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the Selling Stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of securities, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this Prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2121; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with FINRA Rule 2121.

In connection with the sale of the securities or interests therein, the Selling Stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the securities in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The Selling Stockholders may also sell securities short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the securities to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The Selling Stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker dealers or other financial institutions or create one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of securities offered by this prospectus, which securities such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

The Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the securities may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the securities purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the

Securities Act. Each Selling Stockholder has informed the Company that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the securities.

The Company is required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by the Company incident to the registration of the securities. The Company has agreed to indemnify the Selling Stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

We agreed to keep the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which the securities may be resold by the Selling Stockholders without registration and without regard to any volume or manner-of-sale limitations by reason of Rule 144, without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information under Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect or (ii) all of the securities have been sold pursuant to this prospectus or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect and, in the case of the Preferred Investor Shares, the applicable Selling Stockholder owns less than 5% of the outstanding shares of common stock (assuming conversion of all Preferred Shares). The resale securities will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the resale securities covered hereby may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.

Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale securities may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the shares of Common Stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the Selling Stockholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of the shares of common stock by the Selling Stockholders or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the Selling Stockholders and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale (including by compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act).

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

The following description summarizes the most important terms of our capital stock. Because it is only a summary, it does not contain all the information that may be important to you. For a complete description, you should refer to our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the "Charter") and Amended and Restated Bylaws (the "Bylaws"), which are included as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, and to the applicable provisions of applicable Delaware law.

General

Our authorized capital stock consists of one hundred million (100,000,000) shares of common stock, six hundred thousand (600,000) shares of non-voting common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "non-voting common stock"), and one million (1,000,000) shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "preferred stock").

Common stock

As of April 15, 2026, there were 30,217,394 shares of our common stock outstanding and 333,120 shares of our non-voting common stock outstanding.

Voting Rights

Subject to any voting rights granted to preferred stock that may be outstanding from time to time, each share of common stock is entitled to one vote per share on each matter submitted to a vote of our stockholders. The holders of a majority of the shares of common stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote, and present in person or represented by proxy, will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at all meetings of the stockholders. The holders of a plurality of the shares of common stock entitled to vote and present in person or represented by proxy at any meeting at which a quorum is present called for the purpose of electing directors will be entitled to elect the directors of the Company. The Charter and Bylaws do not provide for cumulative voting.

Dividend Rights

Subject to the preferences applicable to preferred stock outstanding at any time, if any, the holders of shares of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive such dividends and other distributions in cash, property or shares of stock when, as and if declared thereon by the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") from time to time out of any assets or funds of the Company legally available therefor and shall share equally on a per share basis in such dividends and distributions.

Preemptive Rights

No holder of common stock has any preemptive right to subscribe for any shares of the Company's capital stock issuable in the future.

Liquidation Rights

Subject to applicable law, in the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company, after payment or provision for payment of the debts and other liabilities of the Company and subject to the rights, if any, of the holders of preferred stock having a preference over or the right to participate with the holders of common stock as to distributions upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the holders of all outstanding shares of common stock shall be entitled to receive the remaining assets of the Company available for distribution ratably in proportion to the number of shares held by each such stockholder.

Other Rights and Preferences

Holders of our common stock have no conversion rights and there are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to our common stock. The rights, preferences and privileges of the holders of our

common stock are subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of shares of any series of preferred stock.

Non-Voting Common Stock

As of April 15, 2026, there were 333,120 shares of our non-voting common stock outstanding.

The Charter provides that the non-voting common stock does not have any voting rights on any matter on which stockholders of the Company are entitled to vote. However, the non-voting common stock has the right to vote, separately or together with the common stock, on any amendments to the Charter (including with respect to any changes to (i) the authorized number of shares of common stock or non-voting common stock or (ii) any preferences, rights or powers of the non-voting common stock). The number of authorized shares of non-voting common stock or common stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of such shares of non-voting common stock or common stock then outstanding, as applicable) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the common stock. All common stock and all non-voting common stock have the same rights and powers, rank equally (including upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the company), share ratably in any dividends and distributions, and are identical in all respects as to all other matters, other than as to voting rights.

Upon any sale, assignment or other transfer of any shares of the non-voting common stock by a holder thereof to any person or entity that is not part of such holder's Family Group (as defined in the Charter), such shares of non-voting common stock shall automatically, upon such transfer, without further action by the transferor or transferee thereof, convert into shares of common stock on a one-to one-basis.

Preferred Stock

As of April 15, 2026, there were 80,000 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock outstanding.

General

The Series A Preferred Stock consists of a total of 80,000 shares authorized and 80,000 shares issued as of the date of the Closing Date. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock has a par value of $0.001 per share and an initial stated value of $1,000 per share. The Series A Preferred Stock has no stated maturity and is not subject to any sinking fund.

Conversion Right

Each share of the Series A Preferred Stock is convertible at any time following the issuance date at the election of the holder of the Series A Preferred Stock (each, a "Holder") thereof into a number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock equal to (x) the original issue price of such share, plus the amount of PIK Dividends, as defined below, and accrued and unpaid dividends, divided by (y) the Conversion Price (as defined in the Certificate of Designation) in effect at the time of conversion (the "Optional Conversion Right"). The Conversion Price is initially $5.00 per share, subject to adjustment in accordance with the Certificate of Designation.

Adjustments of Conversion Price

The Conversion Price is subject to adjustment as provided in the Certificate of Designation. The Conversion Price is proportionally adjusted to account for stock splits, stock combinations, stock dividends and similar events. If the Company issues common stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock at a price less than the then-applicable Conversion Price (subject to certain exceptions), then the Conversion Price will be reduced on a weighted-average basis that provides for more significant adjustment in the case of securities issued at a price (or deemed price) that is less than 50% of the then-effective Conversion Price. The Conversion Price is subject to customary adjustments in the case of a spinoff, recapitalization, rights distribution or similar transaction, with distribution of rights, options or warrants at an exercise price below the then-applicable Conversion Price triggering additional adjustment under the weighted-average basis described above.

Beginning on the seven year anniversary of the Closing and on each anniversary thereafter, if so elected by the Majority Holders, the Conversion Price will be decreased by 10% or 5% depending on whether the Minimum Financial Metrics (as defined below) are then satisfied.

Dividends

The Series A Preferred Stock accrues a cumulative dividend at the rate (the "Dividend Rate") of 5.00% per annum on the original issue price (as increased by prior PIK Dividends) (the "PIK Dividend"), compounding annually and payable in kind by increasing the liquidation preference and accreted value of the Series A Preferred Stock. The PIK Dividend automatically accrues daily from the date of issuance and compounds on each anniversary thereof without requirement of any further action (including the declaration of dividends) by the Company, and the Company shall not declare the PIK Dividends. Beginning on June 30, 2030, the Company may elect to pay accrued and unpaid dividends for any quarterly period in cash, provided that the Company satisfies minimum earnings, leverage and liquidity requirements (the "Minimum Financial Metrics"). The Series A Preferred Stock also entitles Holders to participate in any dividends or distributions paid or made on the common stock on an as-converted basis.

If the common stock is not listed on a national securities exchange on or before the date that is eighteen (18) months after the Closing Date, the dividend rate will increase by two hundred (200) basis points per annum on such date and an additional one hundred (100) basis points on each anniversary of such date thereafter. Beginning on the four (4) year anniversary of the Closing Date and on each June 30, September 30, December 31 and March 31 thereafter, (x) the Regular Dividend Rate will increase by two hundred (200) basis points during certain periods if the Minimum Financial Metrics are not satisfied or one hundred (100) basis points if the Minimum Financial Metrics are satisfied, subject, in each case, to a maximum regular dividend rate of thirteen percent (13.0%) per annum.

Voting Rights

The Series A Preferred Stock votes together with the common stock as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the Company (other than those matters requiring the separate approval of the Holders of a majority of the Series A Preferred Stock (the "Majority Holders") as set forth in the "Protective Provisions" described below). Each share of Series A Preferred Stock is entitled to a number of votes equal to the number of shares of common stock into which such share of Series A Preferred Stock would then be convertible. The Series A Preferred Stock Investor has agreed to vote in favor of director nominees of the Board until the five (5) year anniversary of the Closing Date, subject to certain exceptions.

National Exchange Listing

The Company has agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the common stock to be approved for listing on a U.S. national securities exchange (a "National Exchange") as soon as practicable following the Closing Date and will formally submit an initial listing application no later than twelve (12) months following the Closing Date.

Forced Conversion

After a National Exchange Listing, the Company will have the right to require conversion of all (but not less than all) of the then outstanding Series A Preferred Stock into common stock at the then-applicable Conversion Price (a "Forced Conversion") if the volume-weighted average trading price of the common stock equals or exceeds $15.00 (adjusted to account for stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations and similar events) for at least 20 out of 30 consecutive trading days, provided that, among other things, (a) a registration statement covering the resale of the underlying common stock is then effective, (b) the average daily trading volume during such measurement period equals or exceeds $5 million in value for at least 20 out of 30 consecutive trading days, and (c) the publicly traded float prior to giving effect to any Forced Conversion is no less than $425 million, as measured utilizing a trailing 30-day volume-weighted average price.

Liquidation Preference

The liquidation preference (the "Liquidation Preference") for each share of Series A Preferred Stock is equal to the greater of (a) the original issue price per share plus all PIK Dividends and accrued and unpaid dividends (the "Accreted Value") and (b) 1.15x the original issue price minus the aggregate amount of cash, including any cash dividends, received by the Holder in respect of such share of Series A Preferred Stock. Upon a Liquidation Event (as defined in the Certificate of Designation), each share of Series A Preferred Stock is entitled to receive, in priority to any distribution on any other shares of capital stock of the Company, an amount equal to the greater of (i) the Liquidation Preference; and (ii) the amount per share as would have been payable had such share of Series A Preferred Stock been converted into Common Stock at the Conversion Ratio immediately prior to such Liquidation Event (the "As-Converted Amount").

Fundamental Change

Upon a Fundamental Change (as defined in the Certificate of Designation), each Holder of the Series A Preferred Stock will have the option to either (a) exercise its Optional Conversion Right or (b) require the Company to redeem all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by such Holder either (i) an amount in cash equal to the Liquidation Preference thereof or (ii) the consideration that would have been be received by such holder if such Holder had converted such shares into common stock pursuant to an Optional Conversion immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Change.

Redemption Upon Breach

The Series A Preferred Stock is redeemable at the option of each Holder at the Liquidation Preference upon any material breach by the Company of the covenants or "Protective Provisions" set forth in the Certificate of Designation that has not been cured within 30 business days of written notice thereof, to the extent the Company has funds legally available for such redemption and subject to restrictions imposed by senior credit agreements.

Governance and Other Rights

Board Appointment Rights. For so long as the Preferred Stock Investor (together with its affiliates) holds at least 20% of the outstanding common stock on an as-converted basis, the Preferred Stock Investor is entitled to appoint two (2) directors to the Board, whom shall be independent under the standards of the Nasdaq Capital Market until the Company is listed on a National Exchange and thereafter compliant with the independence rules of the National Exchange (each, a "Series A Director"). For so long as the Preferred Stock Investor (together with its affiliates) holds at least 10% of the outstanding common stock on an as-converted basis, the Preferred Stock Investor is entitled to appoint one (1) director. At the Closing Date, the number of directors was set at seven (7).

Board Reconstitution & Other Rights. If the Series A Preferred Stock remains outstanding on the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Closing Date and represents more than $45 million of Accreted Value, the Majority Holders will have the right to designate a majority of the Board, subject to National Exchange listing standards. The Majority Holders will also have the right to require the Company to engage a nationally recognized investment bank to evaluate strategic alternatives, including a sale, merger, or other liquidity transaction.

Preemptive Rights. The Holders have the right to participate on a pro rata basis (based on its as-converted ownership percentage) in any future issuance by the Company or its subsidiaries of: (i) equity securities or securities convertible into or exercisable for equity securities; (ii) debt securities, including any notes, bonds, or other indebtedness for borrowed money, other than debt from a commercial bank or non-bank lender pursuant to a secured credit facility for no more than $60 million in the aggregate and at an interest rate not to exceed the lesser of (x) 3-month SOFR + 500 bps or (y) 9% per annum; and (iii) any hybrid, structured, or other securities of any kind; in each case, subject to customary exceptions.

Protective Provisions

For so long as at least 25% of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued on the Closing Date remain outstanding, the affirmative vote or written consent of the Majority Holders is required for certain actions,

including, but not limited to, the acquisition of assets, the incurrence of indebtedness and liens, transactions with stockholders, sales and dispositions of assets, the payment of dividends and other distributions, the issuance of equity capital, any change in the authorized number of directors and any voluntary bankruptcy filing, in each case subject to certain exceptions.

Transferability

The Series A Preferred Stock is freely transferable, subject to applicable securities laws and a 180-day lock-up agreement of the Preferred Stock Investor pursuant to the Preferred Investor Purchase Agreement, except, that (a) a Holder may not transfer any Series A Preferred Stock to a "Competitor" ​(as defined in the Certificate of Designation), (b) prior to the two (2) year anniversary of issuance, if the Preferred Stock Investor transfers more than 50.0% of the Series A Preferred Stock (in a single transaction or series of transactions, whether or not related), to one or more persons (other than the Company) that are not controlled affiliates of the Preferred Stock Investor, the Series A Preferred Stock shall no longer include the following rights: (i) Board Appointment Rights, (ii) Board Reconstitution Rights and (iii) certain enumerated Protective Provisions, (c) from the two (2) year anniversary of issuance until the three (3) year anniversary of issuance, provided that the volume-weighted average trading price of the common stock equals or exceeds $10.00 (adjusted to account for stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations and similar events) for at least 20 out of 30 consecutive trading days at any time during the year, the Company will have a right of first offer in respect of any proposed sale of the Series A Preferred Stock and (d) a Holder may not transfer shares of Series A Preferred Stock to the extent such transfer would result in such transferee having beneficial ownership of 50% or more of the common stock and such transfer would result in a default or event of default under, or permit acceleration of, any agreement pertaining to then-outstanding indebtedness of the Company exceeding $20,000,000.

Prohibition on Short Sales

So long as the Majority Holders have the right to designate a Series A Director, each Holder shall be deemed to have agreed not to engage in short sales or other hedging transactions in the Company's securities. In addition, pursuant to the Preferred Investor Purchase Agreement, the Preferred Stock Investor agreed to a 180-day lock-up in respect of the Preferred Shares and Preferred Investor Common Shares purchased in the Preferred Stock Investment.

As of April 1, 2026, we had outstanding 901,145 non-vested restricted stock units.

Warrants

As of April 15, 2026, 3,820,000 shares of our common stock were issuable upon exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants with an exercise price of $0.001 per share.

Registration Rights

Certain holders of shares of our common stock and/or Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to certain rights with respect to registration of such shares under the Securities Act pursuant to the terms of certain registration rights agreements. The registration rights agreements also contain customary provisions relating to expenses and indemnification. We have agreed to file a registration statement on Form S-3 for the registration of such registrable securities for resale, and have agreed to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement until the date on which all of such registrable securities have been sold by the holders or such securities have become eligible for resale without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions and without current public information pursuant to Rule 144, among other things. The Preferred Stock Investors have certain "demand" registration rights and "piggyback" registration rights, including rights to demand that the Company undertake underwritten public offerings beginning 12 months after the Closing Date.

Anti-takeover provisions

The provisions of Delaware law, our Charter and our Bylaws could have the effect of delaying, deferring or discouraging another person from acquiring control of our company. These provisions, which are summarized below, may have the effect of discouraging takeover bids, which could delay, deter or prevent tender offers or takeover attempts that stockholders might believe are in their best interests. They are also designed, in part, to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to negotiate first with our Board of Directors. We believe that the benefits of increased protection of our potential ability to negotiate with an unfriendly or unsolicited acquirer outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging a proposal to acquire us because negotiation of these proposals could result in an improvement of their terms.

Delaware law

We are subject to Section 203 of the DGCL. In general, Section 203 prohibits an "interested stockholder" from engaging in a "business combination" with a Delaware corporation for three years following the date such person became an interested stockholder, unless:

•

prior to the date such person became an interested stockholder, the board of directors of the corporation approved the transaction in which the interested stockholder became an interested stockholder or approved the business combination;

​

•

upon consummation of the transaction that resulted in the interested stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding stock held by directors who are also officers of the corporation and stock held by certain employee stock plans; or

​

•

on or subsequent to the date of the transaction in which such person became an interested stockholder, the business combination is approved by the board of directors of the corporation and authorized at a meeting of stockholders by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation not owned by the interested stockholder.

​

Section 203 defines a "business combination" to generally include:

•

any merger or consolidation involving the corporation and an interested stockholder;

​

•

any sale, transfer, pledge or other disposition involving an interested stockholder of 10% or more of the assets of the corporation;

​

•

subject to certain exceptions, any transaction which results in the issuance or transfer by the corporation of any stock of the corporation to an interested stockholder;

​

•

any transaction involving the corporation which has the effect of increasing the proportionate share of any class or series of stock of the corporation beneficially owned by the interested stockholder; or

​

•

the receipt by an interested stockholder of any loans, guarantees, pledges or other financial benefits provided by or through the corporation.

​

Section 203 generally defines an "interested stockholder" as any entity or person beneficially owning 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation and any entity or person affiliated with or controlling or controlled by such entity or person.

Charter and Bylaws provisions

Certain provisions of the Charter, the Bylaws and the DGCL could make it less likely that our management would be changed or someone would acquire voting control over us without the consent of the Board. These provisions could delay, deter or prevent tender offers or takeover attempts that stockholders might believe are in their best interests.

Authorized but Unissued Capital Stock

The Board may increase or decrease the authorized number of shares within each established series of preferred stock pursuant to the DGCL; provided, however, that the Board may not decrease the number of

shares within a series to less than the number of shares within such series that are then issued, and that the terms of a particular series of preferred stock may grant voting rights to the holders thereof regarding these matters.

Special Stockholder Meetings

The Charter provides that, except as otherwise required by applicable law, special meetings of the stockholders may only be called by the Chairperson of the Board or the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and our stockholders may not call special stockholder meetings.

Stockholder Action by Written Consent

The Charter provides that stockholder action must take place at the annual or a special meeting of our stockholders, and no action may be taken by stockholders by written consent.

Requirements for Advance Notification of Stockholder Nominations and Proposals

The Bylaws also include advance notice procedures for stockholder proposals to be brought before an annual meeting of the stockholders, including the nomination of directors. Stockholders at an annual meeting may only consider the proposals specified in the notice of meeting or brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the Board, or by a stockholder of record on the record date for the meeting, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who has delivered a timely written notice.

Classified Board of Directors

The Charter provides for the Board to be comprised of three classes of directors, with each class serving a three-year term beginning and ending in different years than those of the other two classes. Only one class of directors will be elected at each annual meeting of stockholders, with the other classes continuing for the remainder of their respective three-year terms or until the election and qualification of their respective successors in office, subject to their earlier death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal.

Indemnification of Directors, Officers and Employees

The Charter and Bylaws require us to indemnify any director, officer, employee or agent of the Company who was or is a party to, or is threatened to be made a party to, or is otherwise involved in, any proceeding, by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of, or in any other capacity for, another corporation, partnership, joint venture, limited liability company, trust, or other enterprise, to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law, against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines, taxes, penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection with such proceeding.

We are authorized under the Bylaws to purchase and maintain insurance to protect the Company and any current or former director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not we would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under Delaware law. We have purchased and maintain such insurance.

Exclusive Forum

The Charter provides that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (the "Court of Chancery") shall be the sole and exclusive forum for any stockholder (including a beneficial owner) to bring (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Company, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer or other employee of the Company to the Company or the Company's stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim against the Company, its directors, officers or employees arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL, the Charter or the Bylaws, (iv) any action asserting a claim against the

Company, its directors, officers or employees governed by the internal affairs doctrine or (v) any action to interpret, apply, enforce or determine the validity of the Charter, except for, as to each of (i) through (iv) above, any claim as to which the Court of Chancery determines that there is an indispensable party not subject to the jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery (and the indispensable party does not consent to the personal jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery within ten days following such determination), which is vested in the exclusive jurisdiction of a court or forum other than the Court of Chancery, or for which the Court of Chancery does not have subject matter jurisdiction. The Charter further provides that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States of America shall be the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring or holding any interest in shares of capital stock of the Company shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to the exclusive forum provisions of the Charter. The exclusive forum provisions do not apply to suits brought to enforce a duty or liability created by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction.

PART II
INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN THE PROSPECTUS

Item 14. Other Expenses of Issuance and Distribution

The following table sets forth the expenses to be incurred in connection with the offering described in this Registration Statement. All amounts are estimates except the SEC's registration fee.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Pursuant to section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL"), a corporation has the power to indemnify a party to any threatened, pending or completed legal proceeding by reason of his or her service on behalf of a corporation. The DGCL further mandates that indemnification shall be made to any such person who has been successful "on the merits" or "otherwise" with respect to the defense of any such proceeding but does not require indemnification in any other circumstances. The DGCL provides that a corporation has the power to indemnify a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation and certain other persons serving at the request of the corporation in related capacities against amounts paid and expenses incurred in connection with an action or proceeding to which he or she is or is threatened to be made a party by reason of such position, if such person has acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, in any criminal proceeding, if such person had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful; provided that, in the case of actions brought by or in the right of the corporation, no indemnification may be made with respect to any matter as to which such person has been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the adjudicating court determines that such indemnification is proper under the circumstances. A corporation may advance the expenses incurred in defending such a proceeding upon the giving of an undertaking, or promise, to repay such sums in the event it is later determined that such indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified.

The Company's amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that the Company shall indemnify to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law each person that such section grants the Company the power to indemnify and will advance expenses incurred by an indemnified person in defending any civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative action, suit or proceeding for which such indemnified person may be entitled to indemnification.

The Company also maintains insurance for its directors and officers against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The effect of this insurance is to indemnify any director or officer of the Company against expenses, including, without limitation, attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement, incurred by a director or officer upon a determination that such person acted in good faith. The premiums for such insurance are paid by the Company.

Under separate indemnification agreements with the Company, directors and officers of the Company are indemnified against certain liabilities relating to his or her position as a director or officer of the Company, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law.

Item 16. Exhibit and Financial Statement Schedules

(a) Exhibits.

The exhibit index attached hereto is incorporated herein by reference.

(b) Financial Statement Schedules.

Schedules have been omitted because the information required to be set forth therein is not applicable or is shown in the financial statements or notes thereto.

Item 17. Undertakings

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and

(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(i), (1)(ii) and (1)(iii) above do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

(5) That for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to any charter provision, by law or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
