Key Details

• Effective date/time: Third A&R Certificate of Incorporation effective Feb 18, 2026 at 12:01 a.m. ET.
• Ticker/CUSIP: Common stock will continue trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the same symbol "IPST"; the CUSIP remains unchanged.
• Corporate documents: Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Second Amended and Restated Bylaws were filed as exhibits; a press release dated Feb 18, 2026 was also issued.
• Board action: The Board approved the revised bylaws effective upon the charter amendment.

Why It Matters The filing formalizes a corporate name change and updates governance documents; it does not change the company’s stock symbol, CUSIP, or the terms of shareholders’ holdings. For investors, this is primarily a rebranding/administrative update rather than an operational or financial event. The continuity of trading under "IPST" means no action is needed by shareholders as a result of this change.
