On December 4, 2025, the board approved a second share consolidation at a ratio of 1-for-6.25.

At the effective time of the consolidation, every 6.25 issued and outstanding shares of the Company will automatically be combined into one issued and outstanding common share.

The consolidation affects all shareholders uniformly and will not alter any shareholder's percentage interest in the Company, except for minor adjustments resulting from the treatment of fractional shares. The share consolidation occurs at the registered shareholder level. Shareholders who hold their common shares through brokers, banks, or other nominees (i.e., in 'street name') are considered beneficial holders and may experience a delay in the reflection of the consolidation in their accounts, depending on the procedures of their broker, bank, or nominee.
