Retirement of interim Chief Financial Officer

(the “Company”) of his intent to retire from the position of interim Chief Financial Officer (a position he has held since January of 2026), effective July 1, 2026 (the “Retirement Date”). To help ensure a smooth transition of his responsibilities to his successor, Mr. Church and the Company agreed that he will continue in a consulting role with the Company. The Company and Mr. Church amended the Consulting Agreement, effective July 1, 2026, pursuant to which, the Company agreed to pay Mr. Church a monthly retainer of $10,000 (that may be terminated upon 2 business days’ notice). Mr. Church’s departure is due to retirement and is without any disagreements with management.

As a result of Mr. Church’s retirement, effective July 1, 2026, the Company appointed Josh Blacher to serve as the Company’s new interim Chief Financial Officer under a master services agreement (the “Agreement”), dated June 24, 2026, between the Company and Danforth Health, Inc., a financial advisory services firm (“Danforth”). Mr. Blacher will serve as the Company’s principal financial officer and principal accounting officer.

Earlier in his career, Mr. Blacher served in senior capacities at Teva Pharmaceuticals, Deutsche Asset Management and Morgan Stanley. Mr. Blacher holds a Bachelor of Arts in Economics from Yeshiva University and a Master of Business Administration in Finance from Columbia Business School.
Under the Agreement, the Company will pay Danforth $475 per hour for Mr. Blacher’s service as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer. The foregoing description of the Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Agreement, which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated by reference herein.
