| ITEM 3. | INCORPORATION OF DOCUMENTS BY REFERENCE |
The following documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) by the Registrant are incorporated herein by reference.
| (1) | The prospectus filed by the Registrant with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, on November 10, 2025, relating to the Registration Statement on Form S-4 (File No. 333-290365), as amended, originally filed with the SEC on September 18, 2025; | |

| (4) | The description of the Registrant’s Common Stock which is contained in a registration statement on Form 8-A filed on December 5, 2025 (File No. 001-42995) under the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), including any amendment or report filed for the purpose of updating such description. |
All documents subsequently filed by the Registrant pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act, prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities offered have been sold, or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference herein and to be a part hereof from the date of filing of such documents.

Any such statement so modified or superseded shall not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part of this Registration Statement.

| ITEM 4. | DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES |
Not applicable.
| ITEM 5. | INTEREST OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL |
Not applicable.
| ITEM 6. | INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS |
Limitation on Liability and Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation eliminates the liability of our officers and directors for monetary damages to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. The Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) provides that officers and directors of a corporation will not be personally liable for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duties, except for liability:
| ● | for any transaction from which the director or officer derives an improper personal benefit; | |
| ● | for any act or omission not in good faith or that involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; | |
| ● | for any unlawful payment of dividends or redemption of shares by directors; or | |
| ● | for any breach of a director’s or officer’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders. |
If the DGCL is amended to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of officers and directors, then the liability of our officers and directors will be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as so amended.
Our Amended and Restated By-Laws require us to indemnify and advance expenses, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to our directors, officers and agents. We maintain a directors’ and officers’ insurance policy pursuant to which our directors and officers are insured against liability for actions taken in their capacities as directors and officers. Finally, our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation prohibits any retroactive changes to the rights or protections or increasing the liability of any officer or director in effect at the time of the alleged occurrence of any act or omission to act giving rise to liability or indemnification.
In addition, we entered into separate indemnification agreements with our directors and executive officers. These agreements, among other things, require us to indemnify our directors and executive officers for certain expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and settlement amounts incurred by a director or executive officer in any action or proceeding arising out of their services as one of our directors or executive officers or any other company or enterprise to which the person provides services at our request.
We believe these provisions in our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and our Amended and Restated By-Laws are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers.
| ITEM 7. | EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED |
Not applicable.
| ITEM 8. | EXHIBITS |
The following exhibits are hereby filed as part of this Registration Statement:
| ITEM 9. | UNDERTAKINGS |
| (a) | Rule 415 offering. |
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
| 1. | To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement: |
| i. | To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act; |
| ii. | To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement. |
| iii. | To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement; |
Provided however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) of this section do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-8 and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the Registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.
| 2. | That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. |
| 3. | To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. |
| (b) | The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. |
| (c) | Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. |
