## Documented share calculations

### A-1 — Series A-1 · original issue price

Starting price: 4.6557 USD per starting share
Starting date or context: Mar 31, 2024 · filing snapshot, not investment date

Base conversion: 6.062 common-share equivalents per starting share, before dated public splits

One preferred share became one legacy common share, then approximately 6.062 listed shares (filing-rounded ratio). Contingent earnout shares are excluded, so this is a base-share illustration only.

Public trading begins: 2024-05-10
Supported ending dates begin: 2024-05-10
Share basis reviewed through: 2024-05-10

The ending share price and its date must be supplied by the user.

Formula: amount ÷ 4.6557 × (6.062) × applicable dated public splits × ending share price.

## Later share adjustments

No separate share-class distribution is modeled.

## Coverage gaps and limitations

- The preferred-price table is a March 31, 2024 snapshot; class names do not establish each investor’s purchase date.

- The model excludes contingent earnout shares, including triggers subsequently reached in November 2024. It is a base-share price illustration, not a complete investment return.

- SAFE investors had contract-specific conversion terms; no uniform SAFE entry price is inferred.

Entered prices and later-date share-basis assumptions are unverified. Excludes fees, taxes, dividends, warrants and other distributions; fractional shares are illustrative. Historical investor allocations, minimums and selling rights are not established.
