This Amendment No. 1 to the Initial 8-K (this “Amendment”) supplements and amends the Initial 8-K. Other than as described herein, this Amendment does not amend any other information previously filed in the Initial 8-K, which information is incorporated herein by reference.

On April 14, 2025, the Company and Mr. Bauer entered into a general release and separation agreement (the “Separation Agreement”). The Separation Agreement, among other things, entitles Mr. Bauer to receive (a) a severance payment in the amount of $325,000, subject to applicable withholding and other deductions, (b) an amount equal to the amount he would pay on an annual basis for COBRA continuation premiums had he elected COBRA continuation coverage under the Company’s group insurance plans, and (c) accrued benefits. Under the Separation Agreement, the vesting of all equity awards granted to Mr. Bauer prior to the Separation Date that were outstanding as of the Separation Date and were subject to vesting on or prior to December 31, 2025 was accelerated, and all such equity awards vested in full as of the Separation Date.

The Separation Agreement also contains a general release of claims from Mr. Bauer, as well as other customary provisions.

The foregoing description of the Separation Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the document, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Amendment and is incorporated by reference herein.
