The information disclosed in Item 2.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.1, is incorporated into this Item 7.01 by reference.
On March 19, 2026, the Company made available a presentation on its website. A copy of the presentation is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2. Information contained on the Company’s website is not incorporated by reference into and should not be considered to be part of this Current Report on Form 8-K.
The information contained in this Item 7.01, including Exhibit 99.2 attached hereto, which is incorporated into this Item 7.01 by reference, is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

Forward-Looking Statements
Exhibit 99.2 attached hereto contains, and may indicate, forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act, Section 21E of the Exchange Act and as defined in the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements that express the Company’s intentions, beliefs, expectations, strategies, predictions or any other statements related to the Company’s future activities, or future events or conditions, including without limitation, those statements relating to the success of its products and product candidates, timing, progress and results of any preclinical and clinical trials, its estimates regarding the potential market opportunity for its products and product candidates, its ability to develop its pipeline, its ability to protect its intellectual property and enforce its intellectual property rights, its ability to procure new customers and partners, and its ability to execute its development strategy and sustain its competitive position. Actual future results and trends may differ materially depending on a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, the Company’s limited operating history, its ability to establish its market development capabilities to commercialize its products and generate any revenue, its ability to secure and execute financing transactions, and its ability to maintain regulatory approval of certain of its products, which can be identified by terminology such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict, “project,” “seek,” “should,” “target,” “will,” “would” and other similar expressions intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. These statements are not historical facts and are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about the Company’s business based, in part, on assumptions made by its management. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict, many of which are beyond the Company’s control. Any forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Form 8-K, except as required by applicable law.
