Words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “project,” “seek,” “should,” “target,” “will,” “would,” and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these words.
These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations, estimates, assumptions and projections and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: risks relating to our limited operating history; our exploration-stage status; our ability to obtain sufficient financing; our ability to execute our exploration program on the expected timeline or at the expected cost; geological and technical uncertainties inherent in oil and gas exploration; the absence of proved reserves or production revenues; commodity price volatility; regulatory, permitting, environmental and political risks associated with operations in Greenland; Arctic operating and logistics risks; reliance on third-party contractors, advisors and service providers; public company costs and compliance obligations; our ability to maintain Nasdaq listing requirements; volatility in the trading price of our securities; and the other risks and uncertainties described under “Risk Factors” in our Registration Statement on Form S-1, as amended, and in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The discussion in this Quarterly Report should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes hereto included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report. Should one or more of these risk or uncertainties materialize, or should any of our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements.

Greenland Energy Company
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
1. Nature of Operations and Organization
Greenland Energy Company (the “Company”, “we”, “our”, “Greenland”) formerly known as Pelican Holdco, Inc. was incorporated on September 5, 2025 under the laws of the State of Texas and was formed solely for the purpose of completing the transactions contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated September 9, 2025 (“Business Combination Agreement”), as amended from time to time, by and among the Company, Pelican Acquisition Corporation, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Pelican”), Pelican Merger Sub, Inc., a Texas corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, Greenland Exploration Limited, a Texas corporation (“Greenland Exploration”), Greenland Merger Sub, Inc., a Texas corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company., March GL Company, a Texas corporation (“March GL”) and March GL Merger Sub, Inc., a Texas corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
On March 25, 2026, the parties completed the business combination as contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement (“Business Combination”) resulting in Pelican, Greenland Exploration and March GL becoming wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company. The Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, “Greenland Energy”) are focused on the advancement and development of its oil and gas exploration activities in the territory of Greenland. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year-end and following the closing of the business combination, the Company’s common stock began trading on The Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol “GLND.”
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or U.S. GAAP, for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year or for any future period. The December 31, 2025 condensed balance sheet was derived from the audited financial statements of March GL, the predecessor entity and accounting acquirer in the business combination.
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1, as amended, (File No. 333-294995) filed with the SEC on April 23, 2026 which includes the financial statements of March GL, Greenland Exploration and Pelican.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All transactions and balances between the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
6
Exploration Costs and Prepaid Exploration Costs
Exploration costs are expensed as incurred unless such costs qualify for capitalization under U.S. GAAP. Amounts paid in advance for exploration-related goods or services are recorded as prepaid exploration costs until the related goods or services are received, at which time such amounts are expensed or capitalized based on the nature of the underlying activity.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is recorded using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets once the assets are placed in service. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred, while expenditures that materially extend the useful life of an asset or improve its functionality are capitalized. Upon retirement or disposal, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in the statement of operations.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. As of March 31, 2026 the Company had no cash equivalents and no restricted cash.
Emerging Growth Company
The Company is an emerging growth company and has elected to take advantage of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards applicable to public companies. Accordingly, the Company may adopt new or revised accounting standards on the timeline applicable to private companies, and its financial statements may not be comparable to those of companies that comply with public company effective dates.
Operating Segments
ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting, establishes standards for companies to report financial statement information about operating segments, products and services, geographic areas, and major customers. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise that engage in business activities from which they may earn revenues and incur expenses, and for which discrete financial information is available that is regularly reviewed by the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance.
The Company’s CODM has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer, who reviews the Company’s assets, operating results, and financial metrics on a consolidated basis to make decisions regarding resource allocation and to assess overall financial performance. Based on this evaluation, management has determined that the Company operates as a single reportable segment.
The CODM assesses performance for the single operating segment and allocates resources based primarily on net income (loss), which is reported on the accompanying statement of operations, and total assets, which are reported on the balance sheet. Because the Company has not generated revenues and has not commenced drilling operations as of March 31, 2026, the CODM does not review discrete profitability measures or operating results by geographic area or activity.
Risks and Uncertainties
The Company is subject to risks and uncertainties common to companies in the oil and gas exploration industry, including, but not limited to, risks associated with exploration and development activities, the ability to obtain required permits and approvals, availability and cost of drilling services and equipment, commodity price volatility, access to capital, dependence on third-party contractors and service providers, environmental and regulatory matters, operations in remote geographic locations, and the successful execution of the Company’s business plan.
The Company’s operations and financial results may also be affected by general economic conditions, changes in capital markets, inflation, interest rates, geopolitical developments, regulatory changes, and other factors outside of the Company’s control.
7
3. Business Combination Accounting
The Company accounted for the Business Combination of the Company, Pelican, Greenland Exploration and March GL under ASC 805, Business Combinations, and related guidance and determined that March GL is the accounting acquirer. Accordingly, the historical financial statements of the Company for periods prior to the closing of the Business Combination reflect the historical financial statements of March GL, with March GL’s assets, liabilities and results of operations reflected at historical carrying values.
The Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization. Under this method of accounting, Greenland, Pelican, Greenland Exploration and the related merger subsidiaries were treated as the acquired entities for financial reporting purposes. The transaction was treated as the equivalent of March GL issuing equity for the net assets of Greenland, Pelican and Greenland Exploration, accompanied by a recapitalization. Accordingly, no goodwill or other intangible assets were recognized.
Following the closing of the Business Combination, Greenland became the successor SEC registrant and publicly traded parent company. The condensed consolidated financial statements following the closing include the accounts of Greenland Energy Company and its consolidated subsidiaries. Common shares and per-share amounts for periods prior to the Business Combination have been retrospectively adjusted, where applicable, to reflect the exchange ratio established in the Business Combination.
Transaction costs directly attributable to the recapitalization were recorded as a reduction of additional paid-in capital to the extent of proceeds received, while costs not directly attributable to the equity issuance or recapitalization were expensed as incurred.
The elements of the business combination as reported in the condensed consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity consist of:
| Schedule<br> of transaction cost | |
|---|---|
| Pelican shares, post redemption - | 1,925,377 |
| Sponsor shares | 2,390,000 |
| Shares issued to Greenland Exploration | 1,500,000 |
| Legacy March GL shares | 20,000,000 |
| Other share activity | 294,874 |
| Total | 26,110,251 |
4. Prepaid Expenses, and Other Current Assets
Prepaid expenses and other current assets consisted of the following as of March 31, 2026
| Schedule of prepaid expenses and other current assets | ||
|---|---|---|
| As of<br><br> <br>March 31, 2026 | ||
| Prepaid insurance | $ | 906,933 |
| Prepaid exploration costs | 2,307,883 | |
| Deposit on equipment | 150,000 | |
| Total prepaid expenses and other current assets | $ | 3,364,816 |
Prepaid insurance primarily relates to insurance policies purchased in connection with the Company’s operations as a public company and is amortized over the related policy period. Prepaid exploration costs represent amounts paid in advance for exploration-related activities and services. Such amounts will be expensed or capitalized as the related goods or services are received, based on the nature of the underlying activity and the Company’s accounting policy for exploration and development costs*.*
8
5. Property and Equipment
Property and equipment consisted of the following as of March 31, 2026:
| Schedule<br> of property and equipment | ||
|---|---|---|
| As of<br><br> <br>March 31,<br><br> <br>2026 | ||
| Office furniture and equipment | $ | 17,785 |
| Field equipment | 606,372 | |
| Total property and equipment | $ | 624,157 |
Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is recorded using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Field equipment consists of equipment acquired for use in the Company’s exploration and operational activities.
No depreciation expense was recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as the related assets were not yet placed in service.
6. Accounts payable and accrued expenses
Accounts payable and accrued expenses consisted of the following as of March 31, 2026:
| Schedule of accrued expenses and other current liabilities | ||
|---|---|---|
| As of March 31,<br><br> <br>2026 | ||
| Accounts payable | $ | 2,757,890 |
| Accrued professional fees | 41,638 | |
| Total accounts payable and accrued expenses | $ | 2,799,528 |
Accounts payable primarily consist of vendor invoices and costs incurred in connection with the Company’s business combination, public company activities, and pre-exploration-related activities. Accrued professional fees primarily consist of legal, accounting, audit, advisory and other professional service costs incurred but not yet paid as of March 31, 2026.
7. Related Party Transactions
As of March 31, 2026, the amounts owed to related parties consist of notes payable of $775,000 and unpaid transaction costs related to the Business Combination of $306,250. The unpaid transaction costs will be settled through issuance
of 35,000 shares.
The notes payable included in due to related parties are unsecured, non-interest bearing, and due on demand, unless otherwise specified by the underlying agreements. The Company did not incur any material interest expense related to these balances during the three months ended March 31, 2026.
Subsequent
to March 31, 2026, the Company fully settled the $1,081,250 of related party balances outstanding as of March 31, 2026 through cash payments and the issuance of 35,000 shares of common stock. Following these settlements, no related party balances remained outstanding.
9
8. Stockholders’ Equity
As of March 31, 2026, the Company is authorized to issue 500,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share. As of March 31, 2026, 26,110,251 shares of common stock were issued and outstanding, and no shares of preferred stock were issued and outstanding.
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, prior to the closing of the Business Combination, March GL Company collected $90,000 of previously outstanding subscription receivables and issued 925,842 shares of common stock, resulting in an increase to common stock and additional paid-in capital of $581,883.
As of March 31, 2026, the Company had 1,500,000 warrants
outstanding to purchase shares of common stock at an exercise price of $15.00 per share. The warrants expire ten years after the completion of the Business Combination. As of March 31, 2026, the warrants had no intrinsic value, as the exercise price exceeded the market price of the Company’s common stock on that date.
9. Net Loss Per Share
Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share gives effect to all potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period, if any, using the treasury stock method or if-converted method, as applicable.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, basic and diluted net loss per share were the same because the effect of potentially dilutive securities would have been anti-dilutive due to the Company’s net loss.
The following table presents the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share:
| Schedule of earning per share | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Three Months Ended March 31, 2026 | |||
| Net loss attributable to common stockholders | $ | (818,679 | ) |
| Weighted-average shares outstanding — basic | 20,078,162 | ||
| Dilutive effect of warrants and other common stock equivalents | - | ||
| Weighted-average shares outstanding — diluted | 20,078,162 | ||
| Net loss per share — basic | (0.04 | ) | |
| Net loss per share — diluted | (0.04 | ) |
As of March 31, 2026, potentially dilutive securities consisted of 1,500,000 warrants to purchase common stock. These securities were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2026 because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.
10
10. Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, income taxes were evaluated and determined to be immaterial. The Company is currently in a cumulative loss position and expects to maintain a full valuation allowance against any deferred tax assets. Accordingly, no income tax expense or benefit has been recorded for the period presented.
The Company will continue to evaluate its income tax position, including deferred tax assets, valuation allowance, and any related tax provision, in connection with its year-end financial reporting process.
11. Commitments and Contingencies
The Company may become subject to claims, legal proceedings and other contingencies arising in the ordinary course of business. Management is not currently aware of any matters that are expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
The Company has entered into, and may in the future enter into, agreements with vendors, consultants, advisors and service providers in connection with its public company operations and planned exploration activities. Certain of these agreements may include payment obligations, termination provisions, indemnification obligations or other commitments. The Company records liabilities for commitments and contingencies when losses are probable and reasonably estimable.
As of March 31, 2026, management has not identified any commitments or contingencies requiring recognition or disclosure in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, other than amounts reflected in accounts payable, accrued expenses, due to related parties, or disclosed elsewhere in these notes.
12. Subsequent Events

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read together with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in or implied by these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those discussed under “Risk Factors” in our Registration Statement on Form S-1, as amended, and in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Unless the context otherwise requires, references in this section to “Greenland Energy,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Greenland Energy Company and its consolidated subsidiaries following the completion of the Business Combination.
Overview
Greenland Energy Company is an exploration-stage oil and gas company focused on the development and advancement of its exploration activities in Greenland. The Company has not generated revenue from oil and gas production to date. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, our activities were primarily focused on the completion of the Business Combination, transition to operating as a public company, planning and preparation for our exploration program, procurement and mobilization-related activities, and the establishment of public company infrastructure.
On March 25, 2026, the Company completed its business combination with Pelican Acquisition Corporation and related entities. The Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization, with March GL Company treated as the accounting acquirer for financial reporting purposes. As a result, our historical financial statements for periods prior to the closing of the Business Combination reflect the historical financial statements of March GL Company.
As of March 31, 2026, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $3.1 million, total assets of approximately $7.1million, total liabilities of approximately $3.9 million, and total stockholders’ equity of approximately $3.2 million.
Business Combination
On March 25, 2026, the Company completed the Business Combination, pursuant to which Greenland Energy Company became the publicly traded parent company. In connection with the Business Combination, the Company recorded the recapitalization of March GL Company into the capital structure of Greenland Energy Company.
The recapitalization included Pelican net assets acquired of approximately $10.6 million, the net impacts of Greenland Exploration Limited and Pelican Holdco, Inc. of approximately $(0.3) million and $(0.1) million, respectively, and transaction costs of approximately $8.0 million recorded as a reduction of additional paid-in capital.
Following the closing of the Business Combination, the Company had 26,110,251 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of March 31, 2026.

Results of Operations
Three Months Ended March 31, 2026
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company had no revenue. The Company has not commenced commercial production and does not currently generate revenue from oil and gas operations.
Operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2026 were approximately $0.8 million. These expenses primarily related to public company readiness activities, professional fees, exploration planning, administrative costs, and other costs incurred in connection with the Company’s operations and the Business Combination.
Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was approximately $0.8 million, or $0.04 per basic and diluted share. Basic and diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding were 20,078,162 for the three months ended March 31, 2026.
Because the Company incurred a net loss for the period, diluted net loss per share was the same as basic net loss per share, as the effect of any potentially dilutive securities would have been anti-dilutive.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary sources of liquidity during the three months ended March 31, 2026 were cash on hand, proceeds from the reverse recapitalization, and working capital generated through changes in operating assets and liabilities.
As of March 31, 2026, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $3.1 million and total current assets of approximately $6.5 million. Current assets consisted of cash and cash equivalents of approximately $3.1 million, prepaid insurance of approximately $0.9 million, deposits on equipment of approximately $0.2 million, and prepaid exploration costs of approximately $2.3 million.
As of March 31, 2026, accounts payable and accrued professional fees included amounts related to Business Combination transaction costs, public company costs, exploration-related activities and other professional services.
We expect to continue to incur significant costs as a public company, including costs associated with SEC reporting, legal, accounting, audit, insurance, investor relations, corporate governance, and compliance matters. In addition, we expect to incur costs in connection with our planned exploration activities, including equipment, logistics, technical studies, contractors, and other exploration-related expenditures.
Subsequent to March 31, 2026, the Company continued activities related to its Registration Statement on Form S-1 and capital raising efforts. On April 27, 2026, the Registration Statement was declared effective. On April 29, 2026, we completed an offering of 16,250,000 shares of common stock, 1,250,000 pre-funded warrants and 17,500,000 common warrants. We received gross proceeds of approximately $70 million before deducting placement agent fees and offering expenses. We expect to use the proceeds primarily for exploration activities, working capital, payment of outstanding obligations, public company costs and general corporate purposes.
On April 30, 2026, Citadel Multi-Strategy Equities Master Fund Ltd. exercised, on a cashless basis, all 1,250,000 pre-funded warrants issued in the offering. Pursuant to the cashless exercise formula, the Company issued 1,249,962 shares of common stock. The Company did not receive material cash proceeds from the cashless exercise.
Our future liquidity and capital requirements will depend on several factors, including the timing and cost of exploration activities, the timing of vendor and contractor payments, the amount of public company costs, the results of capital raising activities, and our ability to manage discretionary expenditures. We may seek additional financing through equity offerings, debt financing, strategic arrangements, or other sources of capital. There can be no assurance that additional capital will be available on acceptable terms, or at all.

Cash Flows
Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities was approximately $2.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026. This consisted primarily of a net loss of approximately $0.8 million, cash used for prepaid expenses approximately $1.9 million partially offset by favorable changes in working capital, including accounts payable of approximately $0.1 million.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was approximately $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, consisting of purchases of property and equipment.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $6.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, consisting of cash proceeds from the business combination of approximately $11.0 million, proceeds from issuance of common stock of approximately $0.6 million, collection of subscription receivable of $0.1 million, partially offset by payment of transaction costs of approximately $5.6 million.
Contractual Obligations and Commitments
As of March 31, 2026, the Company had accounts payable of approximately $2.8 million, accrued professional fees of approximately $0.04 million, and amounts due to related parties of approximately $1.1 million. Accounts payable primarily consist of vendor invoices and costs incurred in connection with the Company’s business combination, public company activities, and pre-exploration-related activities. Accrued professional fees primarily consist of legal, accounting, audit, advisory and other professional service costs incurred but not yet paid as of March 31, 2026.
The Company expects to incur additional obligations in connection with its planned exploration program, including costs related to equipment, logistics, technical services, field operations, contractors, and other exploration-related expenditures. These obligations may be material and will depend on the timing and scope of the Company’s exploration activities and available capital resources.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, expenses and related disclosures.
Significant estimates and judgments may include, but are not limited to, accounting for the Business Combination, classification and measurement of transaction costs, valuation of equity instruments and share-based compensation, income taxes and valuation allowances, accrued expenses, related party balances, and the recoverability and classification of exploration-related costs and property and equipment.
Management evaluates its estimates on an ongoing basis. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and such differences could be material.
Emerging Growth Company Status
We are an emerging growth company, as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012. As an emerging growth company, we may take advantage of certain exemptions from reporting requirements that are otherwise applicable to public companies, including reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation and exemptions from certain auditor attestation requirements.
14
We have elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards. As a result, our financial statements may not be comparable to those of companies that comply with public company effective dates for new or revised accounting standards.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of March 31, 2026, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a material current or future effect on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2026. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures also include controls and procedures designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Based upon such evaluation, our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer have concluded that, as of March 31, 2026, our disclosure controls and procedures were, and continue to be, ineffective because of material weakness in internal control over financial reporting due to the Company’s lack of a fully formalized and documented internal control framework, including formal documentation of key controls and review evidence. This reflects the Company’s transition to operating as a public company following the Business Combination. Management is commencing actions to address the lack of formal documentation of our control environment and expect any weakness to be remediated in the subsequent reporting period.
In light of the material weakness described above, we continue to perform additional analysis and other post-closing procedures to ensure our financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP. Accordingly, we believe that the financial statements included in this report fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. We do not believe there are any material misstatements in our financial reporting.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Other than as described above, there have been no changes during our most recent calendar quarter that have materially affected our internal controls over financial reporting.
Inherent Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
The effectiveness of any system of internal control over financial reporting, including ours, is subject to inherent limitations, including the exercise of judgment in designing, implementing, operating, and evaluating the controls and procedures, and the inability to eliminate misconduct completely. Accordingly, in designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any system of internal control over financial reporting, including ours, no matter how well designed and operated, can only provide reasonable, not absolute assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. We intend to continue to monitor and upgrade our internal controls as necessary or appropriate for our business but cannot assure you that such improvements will be sufficient to provide us with effective internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are not currently a party to any material legal proceedings. From time to time, we may be subject to claims, legal proceedings, regulatory inquiries or other matters arising in the ordinary course of business. We are not aware of any pending or threatened legal proceedings that, individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described under the heading “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1, as amended, including the final prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b)(4) on April 28, 2026, together with all other information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in our other filings with the SEC.

The risks described in such filings are not the only risks facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, liquidity, prospects and the trading price of our securities.

For each Award that constitutes deferred compensation under Code Section 409A, a Change in Control (where applicable) shall be deemed to have occurred under the Plan with respect to such Award only if a change in the ownership or effective control of the Company or a change in ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company also constitutes a “change in control event” under Code Section 409A.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a “Change in Control” shall not be deemed to have occurred by virtue of the consummation of any transaction or series of integrated transactions immediately following which the holders of Class A Common Stock immediately prior to such transaction or series of transactions continue to have substantially the same proportionate ownership in an entity which owns all or substantially all of the assets of the Company immediately following such transaction or series of transactions.

(c) Except to the extent prohibited by applicable law or the applicable rules and regulations of any securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system on which the securities of the Company may be listed or traded, the Administrator may allocate all or any portion of its responsibilities and powers to any one (1) or more of its members and may delegate all or any part of its responsibilities and powers to any person or persons selected by it. Any such allocation or delegation may be revoked by the Committee at any time. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Committee may delegate to one (1) or more officers of the Company, the authority to act on behalf of the Committee with respect to any matter, right, obligation, or election which is the responsibility of, or which is allocated to, the Committee herein, and which may be so delegated as a matter of law, except for grants of Awards to Directors.
(d) All decisions made by the Administrator pursuant to the provisions of the Plan shall be final, conclusive and binding on all persons, including the Company and the Participants. No member of the Board or the Committee, or any officer or employee of the Company or any Subsidiary thereof acting on behalf of the Board or the Committee, shall be personally liable for any action, omission, determination, or interpretation taken or made in good faith with respect to the Plan, and all members of the Board or the Committee and each and any officer or employee of the Company and of any Subsidiary thereof acting on their behalf shall, to the maximum extent permitted by law, be fully indemnified and protected by the Company in respect of any such action, omission, determination or interpretation.
Section 4. Shares Reserved for Issuance Under the Plan and Limitations on Awards.
(a) Subject to this Section 4 and to adjustment in accordance with Section 5 of the Plan, the Administrator is authorized to deliver with respect to Awards granted under the Plan an aggregate of 3,367,237 shares of Common Stock; provided, that the total number of shares of Common Stock that will be reserved, and that may be issued, under the Plan will automatically increase on the first trading day of each calendar year, beginning with calendar year 2027, by a number of Common Shares equal to five percent (5%) of the total number of Outstanding Shares on the last day of the prior calendar year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator may act prior to January 1 of a given year to provide that there will be no such increase in the share reserve for that year or that the increase in the share reserve for such year will be a lesser number of Common Shares than provided herein.
(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the maximum number of Shares subject to Awards granted during any fiscal year to any Non-Employee Director, taken together with any cash fees paid to such Non- Employee Director during the fiscal year with respect to such Director’s service as a Non-Employee Director, shall not exceed $1,000,000 (calculating the value of any such Awards based on the grant date Fair Market Value of such Awards for financial reporting purposes).
(c) Shares issued under the Plan may, in whole or in part, be authorized but unissued Shares or Shares that shall have been or may be reacquired by the Company in the open market, in private transactions or otherwise. Any shares of Common Stock subject to an Award under the Plan that, after the Effective Date, are forfeited, canceled, settled or otherwise terminated without a distribution of Shares to a Participant will thereafter be deemed to be available for Awards with respect to shares of Common Stock. In applying the immediately preceding sentence, if (i) Shares otherwise issuable or issued in respect of, or as part of, any Award are withheld to cover taxes or any applicable Exercise Price, such Shares shall be treated as having been issued under the Plan and shall not be available for issuance under the Plan, and (ii) any Share-settled Stock Appreciation Rights or Options are exercised, the aggregate number of Shares subject to such Stock Appreciation Rights or Options shall be deemed issued under the Plan and shall not be available for issuance under the Plan. In addition, Shares (x) tendered to exercise outstanding Options or other Awards, (y) withheld to cover applicable taxes on any Awards or (z) repurchased on the open market using Exercise Price proceeds shall not be available for issuance under the Plan. For the avoidance of doubt, (A) Shares underlying Awards that are subject to the achievement of performance goals shall be counted against the Share reserve based on the target value of such Awards unless and until such time as such Awards become vested and settled in Shares, and (B) Awards that, pursuant to their terms, may be settled only in cash shall not count against the Share reserve set forth in Section 4(a).
8
(d) Substitute Awards shall not reduce the Shares authorized for grant under the Plan. In the event that a company acquired by the Company or any Affiliate or with which the Company or any Affiliate combines has shares available under a pre-existing plan approved by stockholders and not adopted in contemplation of such acquisition or combination, the shares available for grant pursuant to the terms of such pre-existing plan (as adjusted, to the extent appropriate, using the exchange ratio or other adjustment or valuation ratio or formula used in such acquisition or combination to determine the consideration payable to the holders of common stock of the entities party to such acquisition or combination) may be used for Awards under the Plan and shall not reduce the Shares authorized for grant under the Plan; provided, that Awards using such available Shares shall not be made after the date awards or grants could have been made under the terms of the pre-existing plan, absent the acquisition or combination, and shall only be made to individuals who were not employed by or providing services to the Company or its Affiliates immediately prior to such acquisition or combination.
(e) In the event that the Company or an Affiliate thereof consummates a transaction described in Code Section 424(a) (e.g., the acquisition of property or stock from an unrelated corporation), persons who become Employees or Directors in account of such transaction may be granted Substitute Awards in substitution for awards granted by their former employer, and any such substitute Options or Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted with an Exercise Price less than the Fair Market Value of a Share on the grant date thereof; provided, however, the grant of such substitute Option or Stock Appreciation Right shall not constitute a “modification” as defined in Code Section 424(h)(3) and the applicable Treasury regulations.
(f) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, Awards granted under the Plan shall not vest in full earlier than the first anniversary of the applicable grant date. The foregoing restriction shall not apply to (i) Substitute Awards granted pursuant to Sections 4(d) or 4(e), (ii) Awards that result in the issuance of an aggregate of up to five percent (5%) of the Shares authorized for issuance under the Plan pursuant to Section 4(a), or (iii) the Administrator’s discretion to provide for accelerated vesting in connection with a Participant’s death, Disability, or a Change in Control. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 4(f) shall limit the Administrator’s authority to grant Awards with time-based vesting schedules that vest in part prior to the first anniversary of the grant date, so long as such Awards do not vest in full prior to such date and the Shares underlying such Awards are not counted against the five percent (5%) exception set forth in clause (ii).
Section 5. Equitable Adjustments.
In the event of any Change in Capitalization, including, without limitation, a Change in Control, an equitable substitution or proportionate adjustment shall be made, in each case, as may be determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion, in (a) the aggregate number of Shares reserved for issuance under the Plan, (b) the kind, number and Exercise Price subject to outstanding Options and Stock Appreciation Rights granted under the Plan; provided, however, that any such substitution or adjustment with respect to Options and Stock Appreciation Rights shall occur in accordance with the requirements of Code Section 409A, and (c) the kind, number and purchase price of Shares subject to outstanding Restricted Stock or Other Share-Based Awards granted under the Plan, in each case as may be determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion; provided, however, that any fractional Shares resulting from the adjustment shall be eliminated. Such other equitable substitutions or adjustments shall be made as may be determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in connection with a Change in Capitalization, the Administrator may provide, in its sole discretion, for the cancellation of any outstanding Award granted hereunder (i) in exchange for payment in cash or other property having an aggregate Fair Market Value of the Shares covered by such Award, reduced by the aggregate Exercise Price or purchase price thereof, if any, and (ii) with respect to any Awards for which the Exercise Price or purchase price per share of Common Stock is greater than or equal to the then current Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock, for no consideration. Notwithstanding anything contained in the Plan to the contrary, any adjustment with respect to an Incentive Stock Option due to an adjustment or substitution described in this Section 5 shall comply with the rules of Code Section 424(a), and in no event shall any adjustment be made which would render any Incentive Stock Option granted hereunder to be disqualified as an incentive stock option for purposes of Code Section 422. The Administrator’s determinations pursuant to this Section 5 shall be final, binding and conclusive.
Section 6. Eligibility.
The Participants under the Plan shall be selected from time to time by the Administrator, in its sole discretion, from among Eligible Recipients.
9
Section 7. Options.
(a) General. The Administrator may, in its sole discretion, grant Options to Participants. Solely with respect to Participants who are Employees, the Administrator may grant Incentive Stock Options, Nonqualified Stock Options or a combination of both. With respect to all other Participants, the Administrator may grant only Nonqualified Stock Options. Each Participant who is granted an Option shall enter into an Award Agreement with the Company, containing such terms and conditions as the Administrator shall determine, in its sole discretion, which Award Agreement shall specify whether the Option is an Incentive Stock Option or a Nonqualified Stock Option and shall set forth, among other things, the Exercise Price of the Option, the term of the Option and provisions regarding exercisability of the Option granted thereunder. The provisions of each Option need not be the same with respect to each Participant. More than one Option may be granted to the same Participant and be outstanding concurrently hereunder. Options granted under the Plan shall be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 7 and shall contain such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, as the Administrator shall deem desirable and set forth in the applicable Award Agreement. The prospective recipient of an Option shall not have any rights with respect to such Award, unless and until such recipient has received an Award Agreement and, if required by the Administrator in the Award Agreement, executed and delivered a fully executed copy thereof to the Company, within a period of sixty (60) days (or such other period as the Administrator may specify) after the award date.
(b) Limitson Incentive Stock Options. If the Administrator grants Incentive Stock Options, then to the extent that the aggregate fair market value of Shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by any individual during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company) exceeds $100,000, such Options will be treated as Nonqualified Stock Options to the extent required by Code Section 422. Subject to Section 5, the maximum number of shares that may be issued pursuant to Options intended to be Incentive Stock Options is 3,367,237 Shares and, for the avoidance of doubt, such share limit shall not be subject to the annual adjustment provided in Section 4(a).
(c) Exercise Price. The Exercise Price of Shares purchasable under an Option shall be determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion at the time of grant; provided, however, that (i) in no event shall the Exercise Price of an Option be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant, and (ii) no Incentive Stock Option granted to a ten percent (10%) stockholder of the Company (within the meaning of Code Section 422(b)(6)) shall have an Exercise Price per Share less than one-hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value of a Share on such date.
(d) OptionTerm. The maximum term of each Option shall be fixed by the Administrator, but in no event shall (i) an Option be exercisable more than ten (10) years after the date such Option is granted, and (ii) an Incentive Stock Option granted to a ten percent (10%) stockholder of the Company (within the meaning of Code Section 422(b)(6)) be exercisable more than five (5) years after the date such Option is granted. Each Option’s term is subject to earlier expiration pursuant to the applicable provisions in the Plan and the Award Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator shall have the authority to accelerate the exercisability of any outstanding Option at such time and under such circumstances as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate. Notwithstanding any contrary provision in this Plan (including, without limitation, Section 7(h)), if, on the date an outstanding Option would expire, the exercise of the Option, including by a “net exercise” or “cashless” exercise, would violate applicable securities laws or any insider trading policy maintained by the Company from time to time, the expiration date applicable to the Option will be extended, except to the extent such extension would violate Code Section 409A, to a date that is thirty (30) calendar days after the date the exercise of the Option would no longer violate applicable securities laws or any such insider trading policy.
(e) Exercisability. Each Option shall be exercisable at such time or times and subject to such terms and conditions, including the attainment of pre-established Performance Goals, as shall be determined by the Administrator in the applicable Award Agreement. The Administrator may also provide that any Option shall be exercisable only in installments, and the Administrator may waive such installment exercise provisions at any time, in whole or in part, based on such factors as the Administrator may determine in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, an Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a share.
10
(f) Method of Exercise. Options may be exercised in whole or in part by giving written notice of exercise to the Company specifying the number of Shares to be purchased, accompanied by payment in full of the aggregate Exercise Price of the Shares so purchased in cash or its equivalent, as determined by the Administrator. As determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion, with respect to any Option or category of Options, payment in whole or in part may also be made (i) by means of consideration received under any cashless exercise procedure approved by the Administrator (including the withholding of Shares otherwise issuable upon exercise), (ii) in the form of unrestricted Shares already owned by the Participant which have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate Exercise Price of the Shares as to which such Option shall be exercised, (iii) any other form of consideration approved by the Administrator and permitted by applicable law, or (iv) any combination of the foregoing. In determining which methods a Participant may utilize to pay the Exercise Price, the Administrator may consider such factors as it determines are appropriate; provided, however, that with respect to Incentive Stock Options, all such discretionary determinations shall be made by the Administrator at the time of grant and specified in the Award Agreement.
(g) Rights as Stockholder. A Participant shall have no rights to dividends or any other rights of a stockholder with respect to the Shares subject to an Option until the Participant has given written notice of the exercise thereof, has paid in full for such Shares and has satisfied the requirements of Section 16 of the Plan.
(h) Termination of Employment or Service. Unless the applicable Award Agreement provides otherwise, in the event that the employment or service of a Participant with the Company and all Affiliates thereof shall terminate, the following terms and conditions shall apply:
(i) In the event of the termination of a Participant’s employment or service by the Company without Cause or due to a resignation by the Participant for any reason, (A) Options granted to such Participant, to the extent that they are exercisable at the time of such termination, shall remain exercisable until the date that is ninety (90) days after such termination (with such period being extended to one (1) year after the date of such termination in the event of the Participant’s death during such ninety (90) day period), on which date they shall expire, and (B) Options granted to such Participant, to the extent that they were not exercisable at the time of such termination, shall expire at the close of business on the date of such termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Option shall be exercisable after the expiration of its term.
(i) In the event of the termination of a Participant’s employment or service as a result of the Participant’s Disability or death, (A) Options granted to such Participant, to the extent that they were exercisable at the time of such termination, shall remain exercisable until the date that is one (1) year after such termination, on which date they shall expire, and (B) Options granted to such Participant, to the extent that they were not exercisable at the time of such termination, shall expire at the close of business on the date of such termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Option shall be exercisable after the expiration of its term.
(ii) In the event of the termination of a Participant’s employment or service for Cause, all outstanding Options granted to such Participant shall expire at the commencement of business on the date of such termination.
(iii) For purposes of determining which Options are exercisable upon termination of employment or service for purposes of this Section 7(h), Options that are not exercisable solely due to a blackout period shall be considered exercisable.
(iv) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, an Incentive Stock Option may not be exercised more than three (3) months following the date as of which a Participant ceases to be an Employee for any reason other than death or Disability. In the event that an Option is exercisable following the date that is three (3) months following the date as of which a Participant ceases to be an Employee for any reason other than death or Disability, such Option shall be deemed to be a Nonqualified Stock Option.
(v) Other Change in Employment Status. An Option may be affected, both with regard to vesting schedule and termination, by leaves of absence, changes from full-time to part-time employment, partial disability or other changes in the employment status or service of a Participant, as evidenced in a Participant’s Award Agreement.
11
(j) Change in Control. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, upon a Change in Control, all outstanding Options shall be subject to Section 12 of the Plan.
(k) Automatic Exercise. Unless otherwise provided by the Administrator in an Award Agreement or otherwise, or as otherwise directed by the Participant in writing to the Company, each vested and exercisable Option outstanding on the Automatic Exercise Date with an Exercise Price per Share that is less than the Fair Market Value per Share as of such date shall automatically and without further action by the Participant or the Company be exercised on the Automatic Exercise Date. In the sole discretion of the Administrator, payment of the exercise price of any such Option shall be made pursuant to Section 7(f)(i) or (ii), and the Company or any Affiliate shall deduct or withhold an amount sufficient to satisfy all taxes associated with such exercise in accordance with Section 16. Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, this Section 7(k) shall not apply to an Option if the Participant’s employment or service has terminated on or before the Automatic Exercise Date. For the avoidance of doubt, no Option with an Exercise Price per Share that is equal to or greater the Fair Market Value per Share on the Automatic Exercise Date shall be exercised pursuant to this Section 7(k).
Section 8. Stock Appreciation Rights.
(a) General. Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted either alone (“Free Standing Rights”) or in conjunction with all or part of any Option granted under the Plan (“Related Rights”). Any Related Right that relates to a Nonqualified Stock Option may be granted at the same time the Option is granted or at any time thereafter, but before the exercise or expiration of the Option. Any Related Right that relates to an Incentive Stock Option must be granted at the same time the Incentive Stock Option is granted. The Administrator shall determine the Eligible Recipients to whom, and the time or times at which, grants of Stock Appreciation Rights shall be made, the number of Shares to be awarded, the price per Share, and all other conditions of Stock Appreciation Rights. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Related Right may be granted for more Shares than are subject to the Option to which it relates and any Stock Appreciation Right must be granted with an Exercise Price not less than the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant. The provisions of Stock Appreciation Rights need not be the same with respect to each Participant. Stock Appreciation Rights granted under the Plan shall be subject to the following terms and conditions set forth in this Section 8 and shall contain such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, as the Administrator shall deem desirable, as set forth in the applicable Award Agreement.
(b) Awards; Rights as Stockholder. The prospective recipient of a Stock Appreciation Right shall not have any rights with respect to such Award, unless and until such recipient has received an Award Agreement and, if required by the Administrator in the Award Agreement, executed and delivered a fully executed copy thereof to the Company, within a period of sixty (60) days (or such other period as the Administrator may specify) after the award date. Participants who are granted Stock Appreciation Rights shall have no rights as stockholders of the Company with respect to the grant or exercise of such rights.
(c) Exercisability.
(i) Stock Appreciation Rights that are Free Standing Rights shall be exercisable at such time or times and subject to such terms and conditions as shall be determined by the Administrator in the applicable Award Agreement.
(ii) Stock Appreciation Rights that are Related Rights shall be exercisable only at such time or times and to the extent that the Options to which they relate shall be exercisable in accordance with the provisions of Section 7 above and this Section 8 of the Plan.
(d) Payment Upon Exercise.
(i) Upon the exercise of a Free Standing Right, the Participant shall be entitled to receive up to, but not more than, that number of Shares, determined using the Fair Market Value, equal in value to the excess of the Fair Market Value as of the date of exercise over the price per share specified in the Free Standing Right multiplied by the number of Shares in respect of which the Free Standing Right is being exercised.
12
(ii) A Related Right may be exercised by a Participant by surrendering the applicable portion of the related Option. Upon such exercise and surrender, the Participant shall be entitled to receive up to, but not more than, that number of Shares, determined using the Fair Market Value, equal in value to the excess of the Fair Market Value as of the date of exercise over the Exercise Price specified in the related Option multiplied by the number of Shares in respect of which the Related Right is being exercised. Options which have been so surrendered, in whole or in part, shall no longer be exercisable to the extent the Related Rights have been so exercised.
(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator may determine to settle the exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right in cash (or in any combination of Shares and cash).
(e) Termination of Employment or Service.
(i) Subject to Section 8(f), in the event of the termination of employment or service with the Company and all Affiliates thereof of a Participant who has been granted one or more Free Standing Rights, such rights shall be exercisable at such time or times and subject to such terms and conditions as shall be determined by the Administrator in the applicable Award Agreement.
(ii) Subject to Section 8(f), in the event of the termination of employment or service with the Company and all Affiliates thereof of a Participant who has been granted one or more Related Rights, such rights shall be exercisable at such time or times and subject to such terms and conditions as set forth in the related Options.
(f) Term.
(i) The term of each Free Standing Right shall be fixed by the Administrator, but no Free Standing Right shall be exercisable more than ten (10) years after the date such right is granted.
(ii) The term of each Related Right shall be the term of the Option to which it relates, but no Related Right shall be exercisable more than ten (10) years after the date such right is granted.
(g) Change in Control. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, upon a Change in Control, all outstanding Stock Appreciation Rights shall be subject to Section 12 of the Plan.
(h) Automatic Exercise. Unless otherwise provided by the Administrator in an Award Agreement or otherwise, or as otherwise directed by the Participant in writing to the Company, each vested and exercisable Stock Appreciation Right outstanding on the Automatic Exercise Date with an Exercise Price per Share that is less than the Fair Market Value per Share as of such date shall automatically and without further action by the Participant or the Company be exercised on the Automatic Exercise Date. The Company or any Affiliate shall deduct or withhold an amount sufficient to satisfy all taxes associated with such exercise in accordance with Section 16. Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, this Section 8(h) shall not apply to a Stock Appreciation Right if the Participant’s employment or service has terminated on or before the Automatic Exercise Date. For the avoidance of doubt, no Stock Appreciation Right with an Exercise Price per Share that is equal to or greater the Fair Market Value per Share on the Automatic Exercise Date shall be exercised pursuant to this Section 8(h).
Section 9. Restricted Stock.
(a) General. Each Award of Restricted Stock granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement. Restricted Stock may be issued either alone or in addition to other Awards granted under the Plan. The Administrator shall determine the Eligible Recipients to whom, and the time or times at which, grants of Restricted Stock shall be made; the number of Shares to be awarded; the price, if any, to be paid by the Participant for the acquisition of Restricted Stock; the Restricted Period, if any, applicable to Restricted Stock; the Performance Goals (if any) applicable to Restricted Stock; and all other conditions of the Restricted Stock. If the restrictions, Performance Goals and/or conditions established by the Administrator are not attained, a Participant shall forfeit his or her Restricted Stock in accordance with the terms of the grant. The terms and conditions applicable to the Restricted Stock need not be the same with respect to each Participant.
13
(b) Awards and Certificates. The prospective recipient of Restricted Stock shall not have any rights with respect to any such Award, unless and until such recipient has received an Award Agreement and, if required by the Administrator in the Award Agreement, executed and delivered a fully executed copy thereof to the Company, within a period of sixty (60) days (or such other period as the Administrator may specify) after the award date. Except as otherwise provided in herein, (i) each Participant who is granted an Award of Restricted Stock may, in the Company’s sole discretion, be issued a stock certificate in respect of such Restricted Stock; and (ii) any such certificate so issued shall be registered in the name of the Participant, and shall bear an appropriate legend referring to the terms, conditions, and restrictions applicable to any such Award. The Company may require that the stock certificates, if any, evidencing Restricted Stock granted hereunder be held in the custody of the Company until the restrictions thereon shall have lapsed, and that, as a condition of any award of Restricted Stock, the Participant shall have delivered a stock power, endorsed in blank, relating to the Shares covered by such Award. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, any Restricted Stock (whether before or after any vesting conditions have been satisfied) may, in the Company’s sole discretion, be issued in uncertificated form pursuant to the customary arrangements for issuing shares in such form.
(c) Restrictions and Conditions. The Restricted Stock granted pursuant to this Section 9 shall be subject to the following restrictions and conditions and any additional restrictions or conditions as determined by the Administrator at the time of grant or thereafter:
(i) The Restricted Stock shall be subject to the restrictions on transferability set forth in the Award Agreement and in the Plan.
(ii) The Administrator may, in its sole discretion, provide for the lapse of restrictions in installments and may accelerate or waive such restrictions in whole or in part based on such factors and such circumstances as the Administrator may determine, in its sole discretion, including, but not limited to, the attainment of certain Performance Goals, the Participant’s termination of employment or service as Non- Employee Director or Consultant of the Company or an Affiliate thereof, or the Participant’s death or Disability.
(iii) Subject to this Section 9(c)(iii), the Participant shall generally have the rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to Restricted Stock during the Restricted Period. In the Administrator’s discretion and as provided in the applicable Award Agreement, a Participant may be entitled to dividends or dividend equivalents on an Award of Restricted Stock, which will be payable in accordance with the terms of such grant as determined by the Administrator in accordance with Section 18 of the Plan. Certificates for unrestricted Shares may, in the Company’s sole discretion, be delivered to the Participant only after the Restricted Period has expired without forfeiture in respect of such Restricted Stock, except as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, shall otherwise determine.
(iv) The rights of Participants granted Restricted Stock upon termination of employment or service as a Non-Employee Director or Consultant of the Company or an Affiliate thereof terminates for any reason during the Restricted Period shall be set forth in the Award Agreement.
(d) Change in Control. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, upon a Change in Control, all outstanding Restricted Stock shall be subject to Section 12 of the Plan.
Section 10. Restricted Stock Units.
(a) General. Restricted Stock Units may be issued either alone or in addition to other Awards granted under the Plan. The Administrator shall determine the Eligible Recipients to whom, and the time or times at which, grants of Restricted Stock Units shall be made; the number of Restricted Stock Units to be awarded; the Restricted Period, if any, applicable to Restricted Stock Units; the Performance Goals (if any) applicable to Restricted Stock Units; and all other conditions of the Restricted Stock Units. If the restrictions, Performance Goals and/or conditions established by the Administrator are not attained, a Participant shall forfeit his or her Restricted Stock Units in accordance with the terms of the grant. The provisions of Restricted Stock Units need not be the same with respect to each Participant.
14
(b) Award Agreement. The prospective recipient of Restricted Stock Units shall not have any rights with respect to any such Award, unless and until such recipient has received an Award Agreement and, if required by the Administrator in the Award Agreement, executed and delivered a fully executed copy thereof to the Company, within a period of sixty (60) days (or such other period as the Administrator may specify) after the award date.
(c) Restrictions and Conditions. The Restricted Stock Units granted pursuant to this Section 10 shall be subject to the following restrictions and conditions and any additional restrictions or conditions as determined by the Administrator at the time of grant or, subject to Code Section 409A, thereafter:
(i) The Administrator may, in its sole discretion, provide for the lapse of restrictions in installments and may accelerate or waive such restrictions in whole or in part based on such factors and such circumstances as the Administrator may determine, in its sole discretion, including, but not limited to, the attainment of certain Performance Goals, the Participant’s termination of employment or service as a Non- Employee Director or Consultant of the Company or an Affiliate thereof, or the Participant’s death or Disability.
(ii) Participants holding Restricted Stock Units shall have no voting rights. A Restricted Stock Unit may, at the Administrator’s discretion, carry with it a right to dividend equivalents, subject to Section 18 of the Plan. Such right would entitle the holder to be credited with an amount equal to all cash dividends paid on one Share while the Restricted Stock Unit is outstanding. The Administrator, in its discretion, may grant dividend equivalents from the date of grant or only after a Restricted Stock Unit is vested.
(iii) The rights of Participants granted Restricted Stock Units upon termination of employment or service as a Non-Employee Director or Consultant of the Company or an Affiliate thereof terminates for any reason during the Restricted Period shall be set forth in the Award Agreement.
(d) Settlement of Restricted Stock Units. Settlement of vested Restricted Stock Units shall be made to Participants in the form of Shares, unless the Administrator, in its sole discretion, provides for the payment of the Restricted Stock Units in cash (or partly in cash and partly in Shares) equal to the value of the Shares that would otherwise be distributed to the Participant.
(e) Change in Control. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, upon a Change in Control, all outstanding Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to Section 12 of the Plan.
Section 11. Other Share-Based or Cash-Based Awards.
(a) The Administrator is authorized to grant Awards to Participants in the form of Other Share-Based Awards or Other Cash-Based Awards, as deemed by the Administrator to be consistent with the purposes of the Plan and as evidenced by an Award Agreement. The Administrator shall determine the terms and conditions of such Awards, consistent with the terms of the Plan, at the date of grant or thereafter, including any Performance Goals and performance periods. Shares or other securities or property delivered pursuant to an Award in the nature of a purchase right granted under this Section 11 shall be purchased for such consideration, paid for at such times, by such methods, and in such forms, including, without limitation, Shares, other Awards, notes or other property, as the Administrator shall determine, subject to any required corporate action.
(b) The prospective recipient of an Other Share-Based Award or Other Cash-Based Award shall not have any rights with respect to such Award, unless and until such recipient has received an Award Agreement and, if required by the Administrator in the Award Agreement, executed and delivered a fully executed copy thereof to the Company, within a period of sixty (60) days (or such other period as the Administrator may specify) after the award date.
(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, upon a Change in Control, all outstanding Other Share-Based Awards and Other Cash-Based Awards shall be subject to Section 12 of the Plan.
15
Section 12. Change in Control.
Unless otherwise expressly provided in an Award Agreement, Awards shall not accelerate solely upon the occurrence of a Change in Control. However, if a Participant’s employment or service is terminated by the Company without Cause, or the Participant resigns for Good Reason (as defined in the applicable Award Agreement or other applicable agreement), in either case within twelve (12) months following a Change in Control, then such Award shall become fully vested; provided that, with respect to any Performance-Based Awards, such awards shall vest based on the greater of (i) target performance or (ii) actual performance achieved through the date of the Change in Control (or such later date of termination), in each case, as determined in good faith by the Administrator. If the Company is a party to an agreement that is reasonably likely to result in a Change in Control, such agreement may provide for: (i) the continuation of any Award by the Company, if the Company is the surviving corporation; (ii) the assumption of any Award by the surviving corporation or its parent or subsidiary; (iii) the substitution by the surviving corporation or its parent or subsidiary of equivalent awards for any Award, provided, however, that any such substitution with respect to Options and Stock Appreciation Rights shall occur in accordance with the requirements of Code Section 409A; or (iv) settlement of any Award for the Change in Control Price (less, to the extent applicable, the per share exercise or grant price), or, if the per share exercise or grant price equals or exceeds the Change in Control Price or if the Administrator determines that Award cannot reasonably become vested pursuant to its terms, such Award shall terminate and be canceled without consideration. To the extent that Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units or other Awards settle in Shares in accordance with their terms upon a Change in Control, such Shares shall be entitled to receive as a result of the Change in Control transaction the same consideration as the Shares held by stockholders of the Company as a result of the Change in Control transaction. For purposes of this Section 12, “Change in Control Price” shall mean (A) the price per Share paid to stockholders of the Company in the Change in Control transaction, or (B) the Fair Market Value of a Share upon a Change in Control, as determined by the Administrator. To the extent that the consideration paid in any such Change in Control transaction consists all or in part of securities or other non- cash consideration, the value of such securities or other non-cash consideration shall be determined in good faith by the Administrator.
Section 13. Amendment and Termination.
(a) The Board or the Committee may amend, alter or terminate the Plan, but no amendment, alteration, or termination shall be made that would adversely alter or impair the rights of a Participant under any Award theretofore granted without such Participant’s prior written consent.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) approval of the Company’s stockholders shall be obtained for any amendment that would require such approval in order to satisfy the requirements of Code Section 422, if applicable, any rules of the stock exchange on which the Shares are traded or other applicable law, and (ii) without stockholder approval to the extent required by the rules of any applicable national securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system on which the Shares are listed or quoted, except as otherwise permitted under Section 5 of the Plan, (A) no amendment or modification may reduce the Exercise Price of any Option or Stock Appreciation Right, (B) the Administrator may not cancel any outstanding Option or Stock Appreciation Right and replace it with a new Option or Stock Appreciation Right, another Award or cash and (C) the Administrator may not take any other action that is considered a “repricing” for purposes of the stockholder approval rules of the applicable securities exchange or inter- dealer quotation system.
(c) Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and Code Section 409A, the Administrator may modify, extend or renew outstanding Awards under the Plan, or accept the surrender of outstanding Awards (to the extent not already exercised) and grant new Awards in substitution of them (to the extent not already exercised).
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no alteration, modification or termination of an Award will, without the prior written consent of the Participant, adversely alter or impair any rights or obligations under any Award already granted under the Plan.
16
Section 14. Unfunded Status of Plan.
The Plan is intended to constitute an “unfunded” plan for incentive compensation. Neither the Company, the Board nor the Committee shall be required to establish any special or separate fund or to segregate any assets to assure the performance of its obligations under the Plan. With respect to any payments not yet made or Shares not yet transferred to a Participant by the Company, nothing contained herein shall give any such Participant any rights that are greater than those of a general unsecured creditor of the Company.
Section 15. Deferrals of Payment.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Administrator, in its sole discretion, may determine that the delivery of Shares or the payment of cash, upon the exercise, vesting or settlement of all or a portion of any Award, shall be deferred. The Administrator may also, in its sole discretion, establish one or more programs under the Plan to permit selected Participants the opportunity to elect to defer receipt of any such consideration, including any applicable election procedures, the timing of such elections, the mechanisms for payments of amounts, shares or other consideration so deferred, and such other terms, conditions, rules and procedures that the Administrator deems advisable for the administration of any such deferral program. Deferrals by Participants (or deferred settlement or payment required by the Administrator) shall be made in accordance with Code Section 409A, if applicable, and any other applicable law.
Section 16. Withholding Taxes.
Each Participant shall, no later than the date as of which the value of an Award first becomes includible in the gross income of such Participant for federal, state and/or local income tax purposes, pay to the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Administrator regarding payment of, any federal, state, or local taxes of any kind, domestic or foreign, required by law or regulation to be withheld with respect to the Award. The obligations of the Company under the Plan shall be conditional on the making of such payments or arrangements, and the Company shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment of any kind otherwise due to such Participant. Whenever cash is to be paid pursuant to an Award granted hereunder, the Company shall have the right to deduct therefrom an amount sufficient to satisfy any federal, state and local withholding tax requirements related thereto. Whenever Shares are to be delivered pursuant to an Award, the Company shall have the right to require the Participant to remit to the Company in cash an amount sufficient to satisfy any related federal, state and local taxes, domestic or foreign, to be withheld and applied to the tax obligations. With the approval of the Administrator, a Participant may satisfy the foregoing requirement by electing to have the Company withhold from delivery of Shares or by delivering already owned unrestricted Shares, in each case, having a value equal to the amount required to be withheld or other greater amount not exceeding the maximum statutory rate required to be collected on the transaction under applicable law, as applicable to the Participant, if such other greater amount would not, as determined by the Administrator, result in adverse financial accounting treatment (including in connection with the effectiveness of FASB Accounting Standards Update 2016-09). Such Shares shall be valued at their Fair Market Value on the date of which the amount of tax to be withheld is determined. Fractional share amounts shall be settled in cash. Such an election may be made with respect to all or any portion of the Shares to be delivered pursuant to an Award. The Company may also use any other method of obtaining the necessary payment or proceeds, as permitted by law, to satisfy its withholding obligation with respect to any Option or other Award.
Section 17. Certain Forfeitures.
The Administrator may specify in an Award Agreement that the Participant’s rights, payments and benefits with respect to an Award shall be subject to reduction, cancellation, forfeiture or recoupment upon the occurrence of certain events, in addition to the applicable vesting conditions of an Award. Such events may include, without limitation, breach of any non-competition, non-solicitation, confidentiality, or other restrictive covenants that are contained in an Award Agreement or that are otherwise applicable to the Participant, a termination of the Participant’s employment for Cause, or other conduct by the Participant that is detrimental to the business or reputation of the Company and its Subsidiaries and/or its Affiliates.
17
Section 18. Dividends; Dividend Equivalents.
Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, to the extent that an Award contains a right to receive dividends or dividend equivalents while such Award remains unvested, such dividends or dividend equivalents will be accumulated and paid once and to the extent that the underlying Award vests.
Section 19. Non-United States Employees.
Without amending the Plan, the Administrator may grant Awards to eligible persons residing in non-United States jurisdictions on such terms and conditions different from those specified in the Plan, including the terms of any award agreement or plan, adopted by the Company or any Subsidiary thereof to comply with, or take advantage of favorable tax or other treatment available under, the laws of any non-United States jurisdiction, as may in the judgment of the Administrator be necessary or desirable to foster and promote achievement of the purposes of the Plan and, in furtherance of such purposes the Administrator may make such modifications, amendments, procedures, sub-plans and the like as may be necessary or advisable to comply with provisions of laws in other countries or jurisdictions in which the Company or its Subsidiaries operates or has employees.
Section 20. Transfer of Awards.
No purported sale, assignment, mortgage, hypothecation, transfer, charge, pledge, encumbrance, gift, transfer in trust (voting or other) or other disposition of, or creation of a security interest in or lien on, any Award or any agreement or commitment to do any of the foregoing (each, a “Transfer”) by any holder thereof in violation of the provisions of the Plan or an Award Agreement will be valid, except with the prior written consent of the Administrator, which consent may be granted or withheld in the sole discretion of the Administrator, and other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. Any purported Transfer of an Award or any economic benefit or interest therein in violation of the Plan or an Award Agreement shall be null and void ab initio, and shall not create any obligation or liability of the Company, and any person purportedly acquiring any Award or any economic benefit or interest therein transferred in violation of the Plan or an Award Agreement shall not be entitled to be recognized as a holder of such Shares. Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator in accordance with the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence, an Option may be exercised, during the lifetime of the Participant, only by the Participant or, during any period during which the Participant is under a legal disability, by the Participant’s guardian or legal representative. Under no circumstances will a Participant be permitted to transfer an Option or Stock Appreciation Right to a third-party financial institution without prior stockholder approval.
Section 21. No Right to Continued Employment or Service.
The adoption of the Plan shall not confer upon any Eligible Recipient any right to continued employment or service with the Company or an Affiliate thereof, as the case may be, nor shall it interfere in any way with the right of the Company or an Affiliate thereof to terminate the employment or service of any of its Eligible Recipients at any time.
Section 22. Effective Date.
The Plan was approved by the Company’s stockholders on March 17, 2026, and adopted by the Board on March 25, 2026 (the “Effective Date”). The Plan shall remain in effect until terminated by the Board; provided, however, that no Awards may be granted under the Plan after the tenth (10th) anniversary of the earlier of (a) the date the Plan is adopted by the Board or (b) the Effective Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Awards granted prior to such date shall remain outstanding in accordance with their terms.
18
Section 23. Code Section 409A.
The intent of the parties is that payments and benefits under the Plan be either exempt from Code Section 409A or comply with Code Section 409A to the extent subject thereto, and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, the Plan shall be interpreted and be administered consistent with such intent. Any payments described in the Plan that are due within the “short-term deferral period” as defined in Code Section 409A shall not be treated as deferred compensation unless applicable law requires otherwise. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, to the extent required in order to avoid accelerated taxation and/or tax penalties under Code Section 409A, amounts that would otherwise be payable and benefits that would otherwise be provided upon a “separation from service” to a Participant who is a “specified employee” shall be paid on the first business day after the date that is six (6) months following the Participant’s separation from service (or upon the Participant’s death, if earlier). In addition, for purposes of the Plan, each amount to be paid or benefit to be provided to the Participant pursuant to the Plan, which constitute deferred compensation subject to Code Section 409A, shall be construed as a separate identified payment for purposes of Code Section 409A. Nothing contained in the Plan or an Award Agreement shall be construed as a guarantee of any particular tax effect with respect to an Award. The Company does not guarantee that any Awards provided under the Plan will be exempt from or in compliance with the provisions of Code Section 409A, and in no event will the Company be liable for any or all portion of any taxes, penalties, interest or other expenses that may be incurred by a Participant on account of any Award being subject to, but not in compliance with, Code Section 409A.
Section 24. Code Section 280G.
The benefits that a Participant may be entitled to receive under the Plan and other benefits that a Participant is entitled to receive under other plans, agreements, and arrangements of the Company, may constitute “parachute payments” that are subject to Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code. Such “parachute payments” will be reduced if, and only to the extent that, a reduction will allow a Participant to receive a greater net after-tax amount than such Participant would receive absent a reduction.
Section 25. Compliance with Laws.
(a) The obligation of the Company to settle Awards in Shares or other consideration shall be subject to (i) all applicable laws, rules, and regulations, (ii) such approvals as may be required by governmental agencies or the applicable national securities exchange on which the Shares may be admitted, and (iii) policies maintained by the Company from time to time in order to comply with applicable laws, rules, regulations and corporate governance requirements, including, without limitation, with respect to insider trading restrictions. Notwithstanding any terms or conditions of any Award to the contrary, the Company shall be under no obligation to offer to sell or to sell, and shall be prohibited from offering to sell or selling, any Shares pursuant to an Award unless such shares have been properly registered for sale pursuant to the Securities Act with the Securities and Exchange Commission or unless the Company has received an opinion of counsel (if the Company has requested such an opinion), satisfactory to the Company, that such Shares may be offered or sold without such registration pursuant to an available exemption therefrom and the terms and conditions of such exemption have been fully complied with. The Company shall be under no obligation to register for sale under the Securities Act any of the Shares to be offered or sold under the Plan. The Administrator shall have the authority to provide that all Shares or other securities of the Company issued under the Plan shall be subject to such stop transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under the Plan, the applicable Award Agreement, the federal securities laws, or the rules, regulations and other requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, any securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system on which the securities of the Company are listed or quoted and any other applicable federal, state, local or non-U.S. laws, rules, regulations and other requirements, and the Administrator may cause a legend or legends to be put on certificates representing Shares or other securities of the Company issued under the Plan to make appropriate reference to such restrictions or may cause such Shares or other securities of the Company issued under the Plan in book-entry form to be held subject to the Company’s instructions or subject to appropriate stop-transfer orders. Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the contrary, the Committee reserves the right to add any additional terms or provisions to any Award granted under the Plan that it, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or advisable in order that such Award complies with the legal requirements of any governmental entity to whose jurisdiction the Award is subject.
19
(b) The Administrator may cancel an Award or any portion thereof if it determines, in its sole discretion, that legal or contractual restrictions and/or blockage and/or other market considerations would make the Company’s acquisition of Shares from the public markets, the Company’s issuance of Shares to the Participant, the Participant’s acquisition of Shares from the Company and/or the Participant’s sale of Shares to the public markets, illegal, impracticable or inadvisable. If the Administrator determines to cancel all or any portion of an Award in accordance with the foregoing, the Company shall, subject to any limitations or reductions as may be necessary to comply with Code Section 409A, (i) pay to the Participant an amount equal to the excess of (A) the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to such Award or portion thereof canceled (determined as of the applicable exercise date, or the date that the Shares would have been vested or issued, as applicable), over (B) the aggregate Exercise Price (in the case of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right) or any amount payable as a condition of issuance of Shares (in the case of any other Award), and such amount shall be delivered to the Participant as soon as practicable following the cancellation of such Award or portion thereof, or (ii) in the case of Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units or Other Share-Based Awards, provide the Participant with a cash payment or equity subject to deferred vesting and delivery consistent with the vesting restrictions applicable to such Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units or Other Share- Based Awards, or the underlying Shares in respect thereof.
Section 26. Erroneously Awarded Compensation.
The Plan and all Awards issued hereunder shall be subject to any compensation recovery and/or recoupment policy adopted by the Company to comply with applicable law, including, without limitation, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act or the Exchange Act, or to comport with good corporate governance practices, as such policies may be amended from time to time.
Section 27. Governing Law.
The Plan shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, without giving effect to principles of conflicts of law of such state.
Section 28. Plan Document Controls.
The Plan and each Award Agreement together constitute the entire agreement with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof; provided, that in the event of any inconsistency between the Plan and such Award Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Plan shall control.
