The first set of warrants is exercisable immediately at $5.75 per share, while the second set is exercisable at $6.25 per share. Both warrant types expire three years from issuance.

Dominari Securities LLC served as the exclusive placement agent for the financing. The securities sold in this private placement have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and were offered only to accredited investors.
