| Item 8.01 | Other Events. |
The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet as of March 31, 2026 (the “Pro Forma Balance Sheet”), the unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and for the year ended December 31, 2025 (the “Pro Forma Statements of Operations”), and the notes related thereto (together with the Pro Forma Balance Sheet and the Pro Forma Statements of Operations, the “Pro Forma Financial Statements”), are filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated by reference into this Item 8.01. The Pro Forma Balance Sheet is presented as if the Merger had been completed on March 31, 2026.
