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 September 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 or 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.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2025, we have taken the following remedial actions:

•

Conducted internal controls performance and documentation training for all employees;

•

Developed a comprehensive risk assessment process to assess and identify existing and developing risks and designed and implemented changes to our controls in response to those risks;

•

Developed a cross-functional, quarterly alignment process to ensure all material information is communicated and disclosed, including meetings and certifications of key stakeholders throughout the business;

•

Substantially enhanced our policies and procedures;

The actions above were in addition to the remedial actions completed during the previous quarters, which included:

•

Hired additional personnel, with experience commensurate with our financial accounting and reporting requirements;

•

Engaged external consultants with appropriate internal controls experience to assist us in further analysis of the design and implementation of certain internal controls to address the identified deficiencies;

•

Designed and implemented IT general controls over IT systems that are material to the preparation of our financial statements, including change management, user access, and computer operations controls.

The process of implementing an effective financial reporting system is a continuous effort that requires us to anticipate and react to changes in our business and the economic and regulatory environments and to expend significant resources to maintain a financial reporting system that is adequate to satisfy our reporting obligations. As we continue to evaluate and take actions to improve our internal control over financial reporting, we may take additional actions to address control deficiencies or modify certain of the remediation measures described above.

We believe the above actions will be effective in remediating parts of the material weaknesses described above, and we will continue to devote significant time and attention to these remedial efforts. The material weaknesses cannot be considered remediated until the applicable remedial controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded that these controls are operating effectively.

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), that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
