Context

RSUs are a contingent award that become actual shares only as they vest; they are not an immediate cash purchase or sale. Such grants are routine compensation for non-employee directors and do not by themselves indicate a buy or sell signal.
Each RSU entitles the holder to one share upon vesting; there is no expiration date on the RSUs per the footnote.

Footnotes (1)

[F1]On June 4, 2025, the issuer's predecessor (Z Squared, Inc., a Wyoming corporation) and the reporting person entered into an Independent Director Agreement, pursuant to which the reporting person was granted an initial award of restricted stock units ("RSUs") having a grant-date fair value of $150,000. The RSUs were granted pursuant to Section 3(b) of the Independent Director Agreement, the issuer's 2025 Incentive Compensation Plan, and Non-Employee Director Compensation Program. Each RSU represents a contingent right to receive one share of the issuer's common stock upon vesting and has no expiration date. The number of RSUs reported was determined by dividing $150,000 by the fair market value of the common stock on April 27, 2026 (the grant date), rounded down to the nearest whole share. The RSUs vest in thirty-six (36) equal monthly installments commencing April 27, 2026, subject to the reporting person's continued Board service through each vesting date.
