RISK FACTORS.**\n\n \n\nExcept\nas set forth below, as of the date of this Quarterly Report, there have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed\nin our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, as filed with the SEC on March 6, 2026. Any of these factors\ncould result in a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. Additional risk factors\nnot presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business or results of operations.\n\n \n\n**Our\n$5,250,000 investment in equity certificates issued by Verso Capital 2 SCSP, which track shares of SpaceX preferred stock held through\na captable fund, exposes us to substantial risks, including the potential loss of our entire investment.**\n\n \n\nIn\nApril 2026, we entered into an Equity Certificates Subscription Agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”) with VERSO Capital\n2 SCSP (“Verso”) to subscribe for 8,347 equity certificates (the “Certificates”) for an aggregate subscription\nprice of $5,250,000 (inclusive of a subscription fee), and, completed the subscription shortly thereafter. The Certificates were issued\nby Verso and track shares of SpaceX Exploration Technologies Corp. (“SpaceX”) preferred stock that are held by a captable\nfund, with each Certificate corresponding to one share of SpaceX preferred stock. Our investment in the Certificates, and the multi-layered\ncross-border structure through which they are held, present a number of material risks, including not only risks related to SpaceX, its\nbusiness, key personnel and industry, and its ability to execute on its business plan or consummate an initial public offering (or other\nstrategic transaction), but also risks specific to the Certificates including the following.\n\n \n\n \n■\n*Indirect, multi-layered\nexposure with no direct ownership of the underlying securities.* The Certificates do not represent a direct ownership interest in\nSpaceX or in any other underlying issuer. Our economic exposure is dependent on, among other things, the continued existence and solvency\nof Verso, the captable fund through which the underlying SpaceX preferred shares are held, and the consummation of certain conversion\nand transfer mechanics described in the Subscription Agreement on the contemplated terms. A failure, delay, dispute, or adverse development\nat any layer of this structure could materially impair, or entirely eliminate, the value of our investment, and we generally have no\ndirect contractual relationship with, or legal recourse against, SpaceX or the captable fund.\n\n \n \n \n\n \n■\n*Limited recourse and risk\nof total loss.* The Certificates are direct and limited recourse obligations of Verso, recoverable only from a portion of the proceeds\nof the underlying assets. If those proceeds prove ultimately insufficient, our claims, together with the relevant Certificates, will\nbe fully extinguished, and we will have no further recourse against Verso or any of its affiliates, directors, officers, or service\nproviders. The redemption amount of the Certificates could ultimately be zero, and in such a case we could lose all of our invested\ncapital.\n\n \n \n \n\n \n■\n*Illiquidity, transfer\nrestrictions, and absence of any public trading market.* SpaceX is not currently a publicly traded company, and the Certificates\nthemselves are restricted securities. Any proposed transfer of Certificates is also subject to subject to contractual restrictions\nand limitations. As a result, we may be unable to sell or otherwise liquidate our position in the Certificates on a timely basis, at\na desired price, or at all. Redemption of the Certificates occurs in cash or in kind in Verso’s sole discretion upon a “Redemption\nEvent” (as defined in the Subscription Agreement), and there can be no assurance that an initial public offering or other liquidity\nevent with respect to the underlying SpaceX preferred stock will occur on terms that produce a positive return, or at all.\n\n \n\n36\n\n \n\n \n\n \n■\n*Valuation uncertainty\nand limited information rights.* The Certificates are not rated. In the absence of a public market, fair market value of the underlying\nassets is determined by agreement of the parties or, in the event of disagreement, by an independent statutory auditor. Verso’s\nmonitoring and reporting obligations with respect to the underlying investment are on a “best effort basis” and are subject\nto the availability of information from the underlying company. As a result, we may be unable to independently verify the value, status,\nor performance of the underlying assets on a timely basis, which could affect the accuracy of our financial reporting, including the\nfair value measurement of the investment under applicable U.S. GAAP, and could result in subsequent fair value adjustments or impairments.\n\n \n \n \n\n \n■\n*Lack of direct voting\nand enforcement rights.* Under the Subscription Agreement, we granted Verso’s arranger an unconditional and irrevocable power\nof attorney to represent us at any meeting of holders of the Certificates, including authority to waive convening notice formalities\nand to vote in favor of any agenda item. Certificates holders (such as the Company) may not individually exercise the rights attached\nto the Certificates against Verso. As a result, we have limited direct control over corporate actions affecting the Certificates and\nmust rely substantially on Verso’s arranger to act in our interests.\n\n \n \n \n\n \n■\n*Foreign jurisdiction and\ncounterparty risk.* The Subscription Agreement is governed by the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, and the courts of the City\nof Luxembourg have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute. Verso is organized as a Luxembourg special limited partnership, and Verso’s\narranger is a British Virgin Islands limited liability company. Enforcing our rights, obtaining injunctive relief, or recovering assets\nin the event of a dispute, insolvency, or fraud involving any of these counterparties may be more difficult, costly, and time-consuming\nthan enforcement in U.S. courts against U.S. counterparties. We also agreed not to initiate or join any insolvency proceedings against\nVerso until two years and one day after the last Certificate has been redeemed, and any claims against Verso under the Certificates\nwill be time-barred ten years after the final redemption date.\n\n \n \n \n\n \n■\n*Exclusivity undertaking.*\nWe granted Verso’s arranger exclusive and non-transferable rights with respect to any financing, negotiation, investment, or\ntransaction involving the underlying company, effective from April 7, 2026, until one year after the Final Redemption Date. A breach\nof this exclusivity obligation would obligate us to pay the arranger the fees that would otherwise have been due to it. This restriction\nmay limit our ability to pursue alternative strategic transactions or investments involving the underlying company on potentially more\nfavorable terms.\n\n \n\nAny\none or a combination of the foregoing risks could result in the loss of all or a substantial portion of our $5,250,000 investment in\nthe Certificates, require us to record material impairments or fair value write-downs, or otherwise have a material adverse effect on\nour business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows."}
