Our financial condition is highly dependent on the market price of BNB, which has historically been subject to significant volatility. As of January 31, 2026, we held 515,544 BNB tokens with a fair value of $402.8 million, representing the substantial majority of our total assets. As a result, our financial condition, results of operations, and the market price of our common stock may be materially affected by fluctuations in the market price of BNB. The price of BNB has historically experienced significant volatility and may continue to fluctuate substantially in response to numerous factors, many of which are beyond our control. These factors include, among others: overall cryptocurrency market conditions and investor sentiment; technological developments affecting blockchain networks; regulatory developments in the United States or other jurisdictions; changes in trading volumes or liquidity in markets for BNB; macroeconomic factors, including inflation, interest rates and financial market conditions; trading activity by large holders of BNB or other digital assets; and market speculation, media coverage, or social media commentary relating to digital assets. Digital asset markets may be more volatile and less regulated than traditional financial markets, and prices may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. Because BNB represents a substantial portion of our assets, even modest declines in the market price of BNB could materially reduce the value of our assets and stockholders’ equity and may negatively affect our reported financial results. In addition, because changes in the fair value of our digital assets are reflected in our statements of operations, fluctuations in the market price of BNB may cause significant volatility in our reported earnings.

Our financial condition is highly dependent on the market price of BNB, which has historically been subject to significant volatility. At July 31, 2026, we held 515,544 BNB tokens with an aggregate fair value of $302.3 million, representing the substantial majority of our total assets.

Previous wording

During the three months ended January 31, 2026, we recognized an unrealized loss of $159.8 million on digital assets as a result of declines in the price of BNB. Under our accounting policies, unrealized gains and losses from changes in the fair value of our digital asset holdings are recorded in our consolidated statements of operations. Accordingly, our reported net income or loss will be significantly affected by fluctuations in the market price of BNB, and these fluctuations could cause our financial results to vary substantially from period to period, independent of the performance of our operating businesses. A significant decline in the market price of BNB could adversely affect our ability to fund our operations, pursue strategic initiatives, pay dividends, service any indebtedness, or otherwise execute our business strategy. In addition, our stock price may be correlated with the price of BNB and other digital assets, and declines in the price of BNB could adversely affect the trading price of our common stock.

Current wording

During the fiscal year ended April 30, 2026, we recognized an unrealized loss of $130.3 million and a realized loss of $1.3 million on digital assets primarily as a result of declines in the price of BNB. During the three months ended July 31, 2026, we recognized an additional unrealized loss of $15.3 million on digital assets. Under our accounting policies, unrealized gains and losses from changes in the fair value of our digital asset holdings are recorded in our consolidated statements of operations.

Previous wording

Our digital asset treasury strategy currently focuses primarily on acquiring and holding BNB. As a result, our digital asset holdings are concentrated in a single digital asset rather than diversified across multiple assets or asset classes. This concentration increases our exposure to risks specific to BNB and the broader Binance ecosystem. The value and functionality of BNB are closely tied to the continued development, operation and adoption of the BNB Chain blockchain and the broader Binance ecosystem. Negative developments affecting BNB Chain, the Binance ecosystem, or entities associated with the development or promotion of BNB could adversely affect the value, liquidity, or market perception of BNB. These developments could include technological failures, security vulnerabilities, regulatory actions, reputational harm, or reduced developer or user adoption of BNB Chain. In addition, changes to the economic design, governance structure, or technical features of BNB or the BNB Chain network, including changes to token supply mechanisms, validator governance, or transaction fee structures, could negatively affect the value of BNB. Because we do not currently intend to diversify our digital asset holdings, any adverse developments affecting BNB or the Binance ecosystem could have a disproportionately negative impact on our financial condition and results of operations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we may in the future diversify our digital asset holdings and reserve all rights to do so at the direction of the Board of Directors. Any digital assets into which we diversify may expose the Company to risks similar to those described above, as well as additional risks that may be specific to the particular digital asset or blockchain technology ecosystem in which such asset operates.

If any exchange or custodial platform that holds our digital assets were to become insolvent, experience a security breach, suspend withdrawals, or otherwise fail to safeguard our assets, we could experience delays in accessing our digital assets or suffer a partial or total loss of those assets. In the event of an insolvency of a custodial platform, we may be treated as an unsecured creditor and may not recover the full value of our assets. In addition, exchanges and custodial platforms may impose withdrawal limits, suspend trading, or otherwise restrict transfers of digital assets during periods of market volatility or regulatory uncertainty. Such restrictions could limit our ability to access or liquidate our digital assets in a timely manner. These assets are not maintained in segregated wallets under our exclusive control and may be pooled with assets of other customers of such exchanges. Unlike bank deposits, digital assets held at exchanges are generally not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency. We are exposed to counterparty risk if these exchanges experience financial difficulty, security breaches, cyberattacks, operational failures, regulatory enforcement actions, or become insolvent. The digital asset industry has experienced significant exchange failures and insolvencies, including the collapse of FTX Trading Ltd. in November 2022, which resulted in substantial losses for customers and creditors. If an exchange at which we hold digital assets were to fail, enter bankruptcy, or become subject to regulatory seizure, we may be unable to recover some or all of our digital assets, and any recovery could be subject to significant delays and uncertainty. The loss of digital assets held at such exchanges could materially and adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, and the trading price of our common stock.

Digital assets, including BNB, are subject to evolving and uncertain regulatory frameworks in the United States and internationally. The regulatory status of digital assets and related activities is subject to significant uncertainty, and regulations may vary significantly among jurisdictions. Changes in laws, regulations, or enforcement priorities by U.S. or foreign regulators, including the SEC, CFTC, FinCEN, state regulators, or international bodies, could adversely affect our ability to acquire, hold, transact in, or derive value from our digital asset holdings. In particular, if BNB or other digital assets we hold were to be classified as securities under U.S. federal or state laws, we could become subject to registration requirements under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Investment Company Act of 1940, which could impose significant compliance costs, restrict our ability to transact in such assets, or require us to dispose of our holdings. Anti-money laundering and know-your-customer regulations applicable to digital assets may become more stringent and could increase our compliance costs or limit our ability to transact in digital assets. Tax treatment of digital asset transactions is also subject to uncertainty and may change in ways that adversely affect our financial results. Any regulatory developments that restrict or prohibit our digital asset activities could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

As of January 31, 2026, we held digital assets with a fair value of $409.2 million. Although digital asset markets operate continuously, the liquidity of BNB and other digital assets may be limited during periods of market stress or volatility. Order book depth in digital asset markets may be insufficient to support large transactions without materially affecting market prices. Because we hold a substantial quantity of BNB, any attempt by us to sell a significant portion of our holdings could exert downward pressure on the market price of BNB. In addition, a significant portion of the outstanding supply of BNB may be held by a relatively small number of market participants, and sales by large holders could also adversely affect market prices. If market liquidity were to decline, we may be unable to liquidate our digital asset holdings at favorable prices or within desired timeframes. Large sales of BNB by us or other significant holders could adversely affect the market price of BNB, and we may not be able to liquidate our holdings without significant losses. We maintain fiat cash reserves of $11.3 million to support day-to-day operations, but these reserves represent a small fraction of our total assets and may be insufficient to fund our operations, capital expenditures, or other obligations if we are unable to liquidate our digital assets on acceptable terms. Any inability to convert our digital assets to fiat currency when needed could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, financial condition, and ability to continue as a going concern.

In addition, if YZi Labs is successful in expanding the size of the Board and electing YZi Labs’ nominees to a majority of the Board seats, it may impact our business strategy and operations, and may result in a default, acceleration or result in other consequences under certain of our debt instruments, equity plans, employment agreements, and other agreements, which could negatively affect our business and the trading price of our common stock.

Current wording

A change in the composition of a majority of our Board, whether resulting from the exercise of designation rights under the Cooperation Agreement, future stockholder activism, or may impact our business strategy and operations and may result in a default, acceleration or other consequence under certain of our debt instruments, equity plans, employment and other agreements, which could negatively affect our business and trading price of our common stock,

Previous wording

On December 26, 2025, the Board of Directors adopted a stockholder rights plan (the “Rights Plan”), which is currently scheduled to expire on December 26, 2026. While in force or if otherwise extended, the Rights Plan may have certain anti-takeover effects. Specifically, the rights issued pursuant to the Rights Plan will cause substantial dilution to a person or group that acquires beneficial ownership of more than a specified percentage of our outstanding common stock without the prior approval of our Board of Directors. The Rights Plan is not intended to interfere with any merger or other business combination approved by the Board, but the Rights Plan may deter certain parties from pursuing strategic transactions involving us, including potential acquisitions.

Current wording

On December 26, 2025, in connection with defending against the Consent Solicitation in the best interest of all shareholders, the Board adopted a stockholder rights agreement (the “Stockholder Rights Agreement”), which is currently scheduled to expire on December 26, 2026. While in force or if otherwise extended, the Stockholder Rights Agreement may have certain anti-takeover effects. Specifically, the rights issued pursuant to the Stockholder Rights Agreement will cause substantial dilution to a person or group that acquires beneficial ownership of more than a specified percentage of our outstanding common stock without the prior approval of our Board.
