Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure

On September 14, 2026, the Company released a press release relating to its proposed Reverse Stock Split (the "Reverse Split"), which will become effective at 12:01 a.m., Eastern Time, on September 23, 2026.

On December 30, 2025, the stockholders of the Company authorized the Board of Directors to effect a reverse stock split of the Company's issued and outstanding shares of common stock at a ratio within a range of 1-for-12.48 to 1-for-50, with the exact ratio to be determined at the discretion of the Company's Chief Executive Officer. The Reverse Stock Split is being effected in connection with the Company's proposed merger with Zoar Limited (f/k/a Dr. Ashley's Limited) and to assist the Company in regaining compliance with the continued listing requirements of the NYSE American LLC. No assurance can be given that the Reverse Stock Split will enable the Company to maintain compliance with applicable listing standards or that the proposed merger will be consummated. As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, every 12.62 shares of the Company's issued and outstanding common stock will be automatically combined and converted into one share of common stock. No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split; any fractional shares that would otherwise have resulted from the Reverse Stock Split will be rounded up to the nearest whole share. As a result, the number of outstanding shares of the Company's common stock will decrease from approximately 107.8 million shares to approximately 8.5 million shares. Proportional adjustments will be made to the number of shares issuable upon the exercise or vesting of outstanding equity awards, the applicable exercise or conversion prices, and the number of shares reserved for issuance under the Company's equity incentive plans. The Reverse Stock Split will not affect the total number of shares of common stock that the Company is authorized to issue under its Certificate of Incorporation.

As previously announced on the current report on Form 8-K dated June 23, 2025, at the closing of the proposed merger, Impact stockholders are expected to receive one (1) share of Zoar Limited for every one (1) share of Impact Common Stock held immediately prior to the effective time of the proposed merger, after giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split.

The information furnished pursuant to this Item 7.01, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Current Report on Form 8-K includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause the Company's actual results and financial position to differ materially. These risks and uncertainties include uncertainties associated with market conditions and other risks described under the heading "Risk Factors" in the Company's SEC Filings on Form 10-K and Form 10-Q. The Company assumes no responsibility to update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect events, trends or circumstances after the date hereof.

Additional Information and Where to Find It

In connection with the proposed transaction, Zoar Limited has filed with the SEC a registration statement on Form F-4 that includes a preliminary proxy statement/prospectus (a "Proxy Statement/Prospectus"). After the Registration Statement is declared effective, a definitive Proxy Statement/Prospectus will be mailed to Impact's stockholders as of a record date to be established by Impact's board of directors for voting on the Business Combination. Impact may also file other relevant documents regarding the Business Combination with the SEC. Impact's stockholders and other interested persons are advised to read, once available, the preliminary Proxy Statement/Prospectus and any amendments thereto and, once available, the definitive Proxy Statement/Prospectus, in connection with Impact's solicitation of proxies for its special meeting of stockholders to be held to approve, among other things, the proposed merger, because these documents will contain important information about Impact, Zoar Labs, PubCo and the proposed merger. Stockholders of Impact may also obtain a copy of the preliminary or definitive proxy statement, once available, as well as other documents filed with the SEC regarding the proposed merger and other documents filed with the SEC, without charge, at the SEC's website located at www.sec.gov or by directing a request to: Impact's Chief Executive Officer at 1400 Broadfield Blvd., Suite 130, Houston, TX.

Participants in the Solicitation

Impact, PubCo, Zoar Labs, and their respective directors and executive officers may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies from Impact stockholders in connection with the proposed merger. Information about Impact's directors and executive officers is set forth in Impact's filings with the SEC. Additional information regarding the participants in the proxy solicitation and a description of their direct and indirect interests, by security holdings or otherwise, is contained in the Registration Statement and the proxy statement/prospectus included therein.
