Yorkville Standby Equity Purchase Agreement ("SEPA")

On December 14, 2023, the Company entered into the SEPA with YA II PN, LTD, a Cayman Islands exempt limited partnership managed by Yorkville Advisors Global, LP (“Yorkville”) in connection with the Merger. Pursuant to the SEPA, subject to certain

conditions, the Company shall have the option, but not the obligation, to sell to Yorkville, and Yorkville shall subscribe for, an aggregate amount of up to up to $100,000,000 of the Company’s shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, at the Company’s request any time during the commitment period commencing on December 14, 2023 and terminating on the 36-month anniversary of the SEPA (the “SEPA Option”).

Each advance (each, an “Advance”) the Company requests under the SEPA (notice of such request, an “Advance Notice”) may be for a number of shares of Class A common stock up to the greater of (i) 10,000 shares or (ii) such amount as is equal to 100% of the average daily volume traded of the Class A common stock during the five trading days immediately prior to the date the Company requests each Advance; provided, in no event shall the number of shares of Class A common stock issued cause the aggregate shares of Class A common stock held by Yorkville and its affiliates as of any such date to exceed 9.99% of the total number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding as of the date of the Advance Notice (less any such shares held by Yorkville and its affiliates as of such date) (the “Exchange Cap”). The shares would be purchased, at the Company’s election, at a purchase price equal to either:

(i)
95% of the average daily Volume Weighted Average Price (“VWAP”) of the Class A Common Stock on the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”), subject to certain conditions per the SEPA (the “Option 1 Pricing Period; or
(ii)
96% of the lowest daily VWAP of the Class A Common Stock during the three trading days commencing on the Advance Notice date, subject to certain conditions per the SEPA (the “Option 2 Pricing Period”).

Any purchase under an Advance would be subject to certain limitations, including that Yorkville shall not purchase or acquire any shares that would result in it and its affiliates beneficially owning more than 9.99% of the then outstanding voting power or number of shares of Class A common stock or any shares that, aggregated with shares issued under all other earlier Advances, would exceed 19.99% of all shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share, outstanding on the date of the SEPA, unless Company shareholder approval was obtained allowing for issuances in excess of such amount.

The SEPA Option was determined to be a freestanding financial instrument which did not meet the criteria to be accounted for as a derivative instrument or to be recognized within equity. Pursuant to ASC 815 Derivatives and Hedging ("ASC 815"), the Company will therefore recognize the SEPA Option as an asset or liability, measured at fair value at the date of issuance, December 14, 2023, and in subsequent reporting periods, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings.

In connection with the execution of the SEPA, the Company agreed to pay a commitment fee of $500,000 to Yorkville at the earlier of (i) March 14, 2024 or (ii) the termination of the SEPA, which will be payable, at the option of the Company, in cash or shares of Class A common stock through an Advance (the “Deferred Fee”). In March 2024 the Company issued 1,420 Class A common stock as payment for the Deferred Fee.

Pursuant to the terms of the SEPA, at any time that there is a balance outstanding under the Yorkville Promissory Notes or Yorkville Note, Yorkville has the right to receive shares to pay down the principal balance, and may select the timing and delivery of such shares (via an “Investor Notice”), in an amount up to the outstanding principal balance on the Yorkville Promissory Notes at a purchase price equal to the lower of (i) $5,000 per share of Class A common stock (the “Fixed Price”), or (ii) 90% of the lowest daily Volume Weighted Average Price (“VWAP”) of the Class A common stock on Nasdaq during the 10 consecutive Trading Days immediately preceding the Investor Notice date or other date of determination (the “Variable Price”). The Variable Price shall not be lower than $1,000 per share (the “Floor Price”). The Floor Price shall be adjusted (downwards only) to equal 20% of the average VWAP for the five trading days immediately prior to the date of effectiveness of the initial Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may reduce the Floor Price to any amount via written notice to Yorkville, provided that such amount is no more than 75% of the closing price on the Trading Day immediately prior to the time of such reduction and no greater than $1,000 per share of Class A common stock (the “Conversion Price”). At any time that there is a balance outstanding under the Yorkville Promissory Notes, the Company is not permitted to issue Advance Notices under the SEPA unless an Amortization Event has occurred under the terms of the Yorkville Promissory Notes agreement.

 

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company issued Advance Notices to Yorkville pursuant to the SEPA requesting the purchase of shares of the Company’s Class A common stock. The Company elected to issue Advance Notices subject to both the Option 1 Pricing Period (the “Option 1 Advances”) and the Option 2 Pricing Period (the “Option 2 Advances”).

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025 the Company requested the purchase of a total of 1,266,001 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock in connection with the Option 1 Advances, which Yorkville purchased for a total purchase price of approximately $6,814,734. The Company recognized a loss of approximately $340,850 on the sales, which represents the difference between the fair value of the shares issued and the proceeds received from the sales.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025 the Company requested the purchase of a total of 1,179,000 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock in connection the Option 2 Advances. The issuance of the Advance Notices subject to the Option 2 Pricing Period represents the creation of forward share sales contracts, which were determined to meet the definition of a derivative pursuant to

ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging. As such, upon issuance of the Advance Notices for the Option 2 Advances, the Company recognized derivative liabilities totaling approximately $431,203 in the aggregate, the fair values of which represented the intrinsic value of the requested number of shares of Class A common stock on the Advance Notice dates. The Company recognized a loss of approximately $431,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 representing the change in fair value of the derivative liabilities during the period from the Advance Notice dates and the settlement dates of the Option 2 Advances. Upon settlement of the Option 2 Advances, the Company sold an aggregate of 1,179,000 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock to Yorkville for total proceeds of approximately $10,779,127.

Additionally, during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company settled one Advance Notice subject to the Option 2 Pricing Period issued on December 30, 2024, and accordingly sold 30,489 of the Company’s Class A common stock to Yorkville for proceeds of approximately $48,000.
