The Term Sheet summarizes the principal terms of the global resolution between the parties regarding (i) the action initiated by Knighted against the Company and its directors in the Delaware Court of Chancery on November 12, 2024, Knighted Pastures, LLC v.

Knighted Pastures, LLC, 2:25-CV-05312 (C.D. Cal.) (the "Federal Litigation").

Pursuant to the Term Sheet, the Company agreed to pay Knighted's fees and expenses in the Delaware Litigation totaling $5,936,738.36 (the "Fee Award") as previously ordered by the Delaware Court of Chancery on March 10, 2026, according to the following payment schedule: (i) $1,000,000.00 due on May 7, 2026, (ii) $2,000,000.00 due on June 30, 2026, and (iii) $2,936,738.36 due on July 31, 2026. Interest accrues monthly on the outstanding balance of the Fee Award beginning on April 8, 2026 at a rate of 8.75% per annum. If any payment is not made in full by the applicable due date, additional interest accrues on the full outstanding amount at a rate of 10% per annum, compounded daily until such payment is made.

In connection with the execution of the Term Sheet, the Company and Mr. Li, as guarantors, entered into a Guaranty, dated as of April 10, 2026 (the "Guaranty"), pursuant to which the Company and Mr. Li jointly and severally guaranteed to Knighted the payment of the Fee Award, together with all accrued interest.

The Term Sheet also provides that, within five business days of the effective date of the Term Sheet, the Company will file a Notice of Dismissal With Prejudice of the Federal Litigation.

The Term Sheet contains mutual non-disparagement provisions. Each party is also required to promptly delete, remove, and/or retract any disparaging comments or statements concerning the other party, including postings on blogs, social media, and other websites, regardless of when such statements were made.

From the effective date of the Term Sheet, each party agreed, for a period of two years, not to bring any claims against the other party relating to any breach of duties, breach of contract or securities laws violations, other than claims arising from or relating to the enforcement of the Term Sheet.
