Risk Factors\n\nOther than described below, management believes that there have been no significant changes to the risk factors associated with our business as compared to those disclosed in Part 1, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.\n\nWe currently do not meet, and may not regain compliance with, the listing standards of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC, or Nasdaq, and as a result our Class A common stock may be delisted. Delisting could adversely affect the liquidity of our Class A common stock and the market price of our Class A common stock could decrease, and our ability to obtain sufficient additional capital to fund our operations and to continue to operate as a going concern would be substantially impaired.\n\nOur Class A common stock is currently listed on the Nasdaq Global Market, which has minimum requirements that a company must meet in order to remain listed. These requirements include maintaining a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 per share, which closing bid price cannot fall below $1.00 per share for a period of more than 30 consecutive trading days, or the Bid Price Requirement. On May 11, 2026, we received a deficiency notice, or the Notice, from the Listing Qualifications Staff, or the Staff, of Nasdaq notifying us that, for the last 30 consecutive business days, the bid price of our Class A common stock had closed below $1.00 per share, thereby failing to satisfy the Bid Price Requirement set forth in the continued listing requirements of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1). The Notice has no immediate effect on the listing of our Class A common stock on the Nasdaq Global Market. In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), we have 180 calendar days, or until November 9, 2026, to regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement by having shares of our Class A common stock maintain a minimum closing bid price of at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive trading days. In the event we do not regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement prior to the expiration of the compliance period, our Class A common stock may be subject to a delisting action by Nasdaq.\n\nAlternatively, we may be eligible for an additional 180-calendar day compliance period if we elect to transfer to the Nasdaq Capital Market to take advantage of the additional compliance period offered on that market. To qualify, we will be required to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards, with the exception of the Bid Price Requirement, and will need to provide written notice of our intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period by effecting a reverse stock split if necessary. If we do not regain compliance within the compliance period(s), including any extensions that may be granted by Nasdaq, then the Class A common stock will be subject to delisting. We intend to monitor the closing bid price of our Class A common stock and consider our available options to resolve the noncompliance with the Bid Price Requirement. There can be no assurance that we will be able to regain compliance with the Nasdaq Global Market’s continued listing requirements or that Nasdaq will grant us a further extension of time to regain compliance, if applicable.\n\nA reverse stock split may allow us to meet the Bid Price Requirement, but we cannot assure you that a reverse stock split will be approved by our stockholders or that any reverse stock split, if implemented, will be sufficient to enable us to maintain our Nasdaq listing. Additionally, if a reverse stock split is implemented, there can be no assurance that the market price per post-split share of our Class A common stock following the reverse stock split will remain unchanged or will increase in proportion to the reduction in the number of pre-split shares of our Class A common stock outstanding before the reverse stock split. The liquidity of the shares of our Class A common stock may be affected adversely by any reverse stock split given the reduced number of shares of our Class A common stock that will be outstanding following such reverse stock split. Furthermore, following any reverse stock split, the resulting market price of our Class A common stock may not attract new investors and may not satisfy the investing requirements of those investors.\n\nIn the event that our Class A common stock is delisted from Nasdaq as a result of our failure to regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement, as a result of Nasdaq not granting us an extension or the panel not granting us a favorable decision or due to our failure to continue to comply with any other requirement for continued listing on Nasdaq, trading of our Class A common stock could be conducted in the over-the-counter market or on an electronic bulletin board established for unlisted securities such as the Pink Sheets or the OTC Bulletin Board, but there can be no assurance that our Class A common stock will be eligible for trading on such alternative exchange or market.\n\n34\n\n \n\nAdditionally, if our Class A common stock is delisted from Nasdaq, the liquidity of our Class A common stock would be adversely affected, the market price of our Class A common stock could decrease, our ability to obtain sufficient additional capital to fund our operations and to continue to operate as a going concern would be substantially impaired and transactions in our Class A common stock could lose federal preemption of state securities laws. Furthermore, there could also be a further reduction in our coverage by securities analysts and the news media and broker-dealers may be deterred from making a market in or otherwise seeking or generating interest in our Class A common stock, which could cause the price of our Class A common stock to decline further. Moreover, delisting may also negatively affect our collaborators’, vendors’, suppliers’ and employees’ confidence in us and employee morale."}
