Explanation of Responses:

*	If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
**	Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1)	On July 9, 2025, the reporting person exercised options to purchase 750,000 shares of the issuer's common stock at an exercise price of $1.90 per share. The reporting person paid the exercise price on a cashless basis, resulting in the issuer withholding 241,116 of the option shares to pay the exercise price and issuing to the reporting person the remaining shares.
(2)	Represents shares of common stock acquired upon exercise of 750,000 stock options with an exercise price of $1.90 per share. The number of shares issued was calculated by multiplying the number of options exercised by the preceding day's closing stock price of $5.91 to determine the total stock value, then subtracting the aggregate exercise price, and dividing the result by the same closing price.
(3)	Includes shares of restricted common stock subject to forfeiture if certain vesting conditions are not met.
(4)	The stock options vested as follows: 300,000 options vested on January 1, 2022, and the remaining options vested based upon certain performance milestones involving the issuer's stock price.
(5)	Not applicable.
