On December 18, 2024, JLA entered into a coordination agreement (the "Coordination Agreement") with Ault & Company, Inc. ("A&C") and certain other stockholders of the Issuer set forth on the signature pages thereto, pursuant to which JLA granted A&C the sole authority to vote or dispose of, or cause or direct the voting or disposition of, the Shares owned by JLA (the "Subject Shares") for the duration of the Coordination Agreement. Pursuant to the Coordination Agreement, JLA appointed A&C as the sole and exclusive attorney-in-fact and proxy of JLA with full power to vote and dispose of the Subject Shares. A&C and JLA further agreed, among other things, that A&C is authorized to take any and all action that may be necessary or desirable to manage the Subject Shares or otherwise exercise the rights of the holders of the Subject Shares, and that JLA is subject to certain restrictions regarding transactions in the Shares. On June 4, 2025, A&C delivered a notice of termination to JLA, terminating the Coordination Agreement effective as of August 4, 2025. Such termination will be automatically effective on August 4, 2025, with no further action or notice required by any party.
