RISK FACTORS**\n\n**The operational pause, furlough of employees\nor other actions we take to conserve cash and fund our operations may not achieve our intended outcome**\n\nOn June 24, 2025, we implemented\nan operational pause in order to conserve capital while we seek potential fundraising transactions. As a result of our inability to secure\nmeaningful funding prior to such operational pause, we also announced the furlough of most of our employees, in order to reduce expenses.\nThese or other actions we may take may result in unintended consequences and costs, such as the loss of institutional knowledge and expertise,\nattrition beyond the intended number of employees, decreased morale among our remaining employees, and the risk that we may not achieve\nthe anticipated benefits of the operational pause. In addition, while most employees have been furloughed, certain functions necessary\nto our operations remain, and we may be unsuccessful in distributing the duties and obligations of furloughed employees. The operational\npause could also make it difficult for us to pursue, or prevent us from pursuing, new opportunities and initiatives due to insufficient\npersonnel, or require us to incur additional and unanticipated costs to hire new personnel to pursue such opportunities or initiatives.\nIf we are unable to realize the anticipated benefits from the operational pause, or if we experience significant adverse consequences\nfrom the operational pause, our business, financial condition, and results of operations may be materially adversely affected."}
