The liquidity event vesting condition will be satisfied upon the closing of the Issuer's initial public offering (IPO). The service-based vesting condition will be satisfied as to 25% of the RSUs on an annual basis beginning on the 12-month anniversary of January 5, 2026, subject to the reporting person's continued service through each vesting date. ( 2 )Each RSU represents a contingent right to receive one share of common stock of the Issuer. ( 3 )Each share of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of the Issuer's common stock on a 1-for-1 basis, at the holder's election, and will automatically convert into shares of the Issuer's common stock upon the closing of the initial public offering pursuant to their terms. The Series A-1 Preferred Stock has no expiration date. ( 4 )Fully vested.

An option tranche would be forfeited if the Issuer's board of directors determines that performance for the applicable year was below the threshold level and in each case is subject to the reporting person's continuous service through each such vesting date.
