Context
These transactions are conversions/issuances tied to convertible-note extensions rather than routine open-market purchases. For retail investors: note that derivative/reporting conventions can show very large dollar amounts for single-share entries — those are tied to note principal and conversion terms, not an actual per-share market sale or purchase price. The 7,868-share issuance on 3/17/2026 represents a straightforward issuance at $3.75/share in connection with a note-extension agreement.
