Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable 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 judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2025, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level as a result of the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting described below.

Material Weaknesses in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. As we have previously been a privately held company, we were not subject to the rules and regulations of the SEC regarding compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (“Section 404”), to furnish a report by management on, among other things, the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. As previously reported in our 2024 Form 10-K, in connection with the preparation of our consolidated financial statements for theyear ended December 31, 2024, we identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. The following are our material weaknesses:

•

We did not design and maintain (i) an effective control environment commensurate with our financial reporting requirements, specifically, we did not maintain a sufficient complement of personnel with an appropriate level of internal controls and accounting knowledge, training and experience to appropriately analyze, record and disclose accounting matters timely and accurately, (ii) an effective risk assessment process at a sufficiently precise level to identify new and evolving risks of material misstatement in our financial statements and design and implement changes to our controls in response to those risks, (iii) effective monitoring controls to verify the proper and consistent functioning of our internal controls, and (iv) effective information and communication controls between various functions within the company to verify complete and accurate financial reporting. These material weaknesses contributed to the following additional material weaknesses:

•

We did not design and maintain adequate written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting. Further, we did not design and maintain effective controls related to the period-end financing reporting process and significant account balances, including ensuring that there is adequate documented evidence of a sufficient level of management review over complex estimates and judgmental areas of accounting and financial reporting.

•

We did not design and maintain effective information technology ("IT") general controls over (i) program change management to ensure that program and data changes are identified, tested, authorized and implemented appropriately; (ii) user access controls to ensure appropriate segregation of duties and to adequately restrict user and privileged access to appropriate personnel; and (iii) computer operations controls to ensure that processing and transfer of data, and data backups and recovery are monitored.

These material weaknesses resulted in immaterial corrections, as well as immaterial unrecorded errors to various accounts and disclosures in the Company's consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024 and condensed consolidated financial information for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. These material weaknesses could also result in a misstatement of substantially all of our account balances or disclosures that would result in a material misstatement to the annual or interim consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected.

Management’s Remediation Efforts

Management is committed to implementing changes to our internal control over financial reporting to ensure that the control deficiencies that contributed to the material weaknesses are remediated. To address our material weaknesses, we are in the process of planning to implement measures designed to improve our internal control over financial reporting and remediate the control deficiencies that led to the material weaknesses. These measures include (i) hiring additional accounting and IT personnel to ensure the effectiveness of our processes and controls; (ii) devoting proper time by those personnel to perform a comprehensive review of procedures to assess and identify risks; (iii) developing monitoring controls and protocols that will allow us to timely assess the design and operating effectiveness of controls; (iv) designing effective information and communication controls between various functions within the Company to verify complete and accurate financial reporting; (v) implementing additional procedures to support a sufficient level of management review over complex estimates and judgmental areas of accounting and financial reporting; and (vi) improving the design and testing of IT controls for IT systems that are relevant to the preparation of our financial statements, including with respect to program and data changes, user access controls, and computer operations controls.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We are taking actions to remediate the material weaknesses relating to our internal controls over financial reporting, as described above. Except as discussed above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(d) or 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act) identified in management’s evaluation pursuant to during the quarter ended June 30, 2025, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
