Reverse Stock Split
Current report
On October 31, 2025, the Company effected a 1-for-6 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock. The Reverse Stock Split reduced the number of shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock, as well as the number of shares subject to then-outstanding warrants and the exercise price thereof and the number of shares available for future issuance under the Company’s equity plans, the number of shares subject to such awards and purchase rights and the exercise and purchase price of, and other terms and conditions relating to, such awards and purchase rights. The conversion terms of the Preferred Stock have also been adjusted automatically such that each share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock will be convertible into the number of shares of common stock that would have been issuable if all of the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock were converted into common stock immediately prior to the Reverse Stock Split. No fractional shares were distributed as a result of the Reverse Stock Split, and stockholders were entitled to a cash payment in lieu of fractional shares.

Although the U.S. economy continued to grow in the first half of 2025 and throughout 2024, inflation, actions by the Federal Reserve to address inflation, fluctuations in energy prices, and the potential impacts of tariffs and geopolitical events create uncertainty about the future economic environment which will continue to evolve and may impact our business in future periods. We have experienced supply chain challenges, including increased lead times, as well as inflation of raw materials, logistics and labor costs due to availability constraints and high demand. Although we regularly monitor vendors in our supply chain, and use alternative suppliers when necessary and available, supply chain constraints could cause a disruption in our ability to obtain raw materials required to manufacture our products and adversely affect our operations.
