Detailed Brief
On June 17, 2025, the Equatorial Trust, a family trust associated with Peter Beck (President, CEO, and Chairman) and Kerryn Beck, with Warren Butler as director of the trustee, optionally converted 5,000,000 shares of Series A Convertible Participating Preferred Stock into 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock. This conversion was to satisfy delivery obligations to a broker for anticipated sales under a Rule 10b5-1 plan adopted by the Trust on June 13, 2025, with sales permitted from September 15, 2025, to December 17, 2025.
