In addition to the information in this report, you should carefully consider the risks discussed in [Item 1A](https://www.sec.gov/ix?doc=/Archives/edgar/data/0001158172/000115817226000009/scor-20251231.htm#i6c254281f3464b44973cb80e5ffedc0d_19), \"Risk Factors\" of our 2025 10-K before you decide whether to invest in our stock. The risks identified below and in our 2025 10-K could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results. In that case, the trading price of our Common Stock could decline, and you could lose part or all of your investment. The risks described below and in our 2025 10-K are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results, and may result in the loss of part or all of your investment.\n\nOur outstanding securities, the stock or securities that we may issue under existing or future agreements, and certain provisions of those securities, may cause immediate and substantial dilution to our existing stockholders.\n\nOur existing stockholders have experienced and may continue to experience substantial dilution as a result of our obligations to issue shares of Common Stock. As of March 31, 2026, our Series C Preferred Stock was convertible into an aggregate of 12,670,863 shares of Common Stock at the election of the holders.\n\nAs of March 31, 2026, 90,847 shares of Common Stock were reserved for issuance pursuant to outstanding stock options under our equity incentive plans (including stock option awards we assumed in the Shareablee acquisition), 482,951 shares of Common Stock were reserved for issuance pursuant to outstanding restricted stock unit and deferred stock unit awards under our equity incentive plans and arrangements (including Shareablee plan awards and an employment inducement award we granted in 2021), and 2,088,584 shares of Common Stock were available for future equity awards under our 2018 Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan (the \"2018 Plan\"). Additionally, we have proposed that our stockholders approve an amendment to the 2018 Plan to increase the number of shares available for grant under the 2018 Plan by 3,000,000.\n\nThe issuance of shares of Common Stock (i) upon the conversion of our Series C Preferred Stock, (ii) pursuant to outstanding and future equity awards, or (iii) upon the conversion of other convertible securities we may issue in the future, may result in substantial dilution to each of our stockholders by reducing that stockholder's percentage ownership of our outstanding Common Stock."}
