BACKGROUND

 

A.The Company, MindWave, Lokahi, Emerson and the other signatories thereto entered an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated December 1, 2025 (the “Merger Agreement”) under which, among other things, the pre-closing stockholders of MindWave received preferred stock of the Company in exchange for their ownership interest in MindWave.

 

B.Concurrently with the Merger Agreement, the Company, MindWave, and Lokahi entered into that certain amended and restated side letter agreement dated December 1, 2025 (the “Side Letter”) regarding, among other things, the allocation of certain funds from the Investor to Lokahi and MindWave.

 

C.In connection with the Merger Agreement, the Company filed an information statement on Form 14C (the “Information Statement”), to (i) issue shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share upon the conversion of the Series A convertible preferred stock of the pre-closing holders of MindWave into Company common stock (the “Preferred Stock Conversion”) upon the terms of the Merger Agreement, (ii) issue shares of Company common stock upon the conversion of the convertible notes issued by the Company to the Investor pursuant to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, entered into by the Company and certain institutional investors on December 1, 2025, and amended by that certain Amendment No. 1 to Securities Purchase Agreement on December 8, 2025, in an amount that may be equal to 20% or more of the Company’s pre-transaction outstanding common stock, pursuant to NYSE Section 312.03(c) (the “Note Approval”), (iii) effect a 1-for-10 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of the shares of the Company’s common stock and change the par value per share of the Company’s common stock from $0.01 to $0.001 (the “Change in Par Value”), and a corresponding amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to authorize the Company’s board of directors to effect the Reverse Stock Split and the Change in Par Value, (iv) amend the Company’s 2024 Equity Incentive Plan to increase the number of shares of Company common stock issuable under the plan to 2,096,679 (the “2024 Plan Share Increase”), and (v) approve and adopt the Company’s 2025 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2025 Plan Approval”). The Preferred Stock Conversion, the Note Approval, the Reverse Stock Split and the Change in Par Value, the 2024 Plan Share Increase, and the 2025 Plan Approval shall be referred to as the “Proposals”. For the avoidance of doubt, the time following the Preferred Stock Conversion shall be referred to as “Post-Closing.

 

 

 

 

D.As a result of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the Preferred Stock Conversion and the Note Approval, following the effectiveness of the Preferred Stock Conversion and the Note Approval, a change in control of the Company will occur within the meaning of the NYSE American Company Guide. Accordingly, the Company was required to submit a new listing application to NYSE American before the effectiveness of the Preferred Stock Conversion and the Note Approval (the “Listing Application”). The Company does not intend to affect the Preferred Stock Conversion and the Note Approval unless and until NYSE American has approved the Listing Application.

 

E.Since the signing of the Merger Agreement, a dispute has arisen among the parties.

 

F.Because the Inscobee Parties previously entered into the Support Agreements (as defined below), the Company Parties dispute the effectiveness of the Stockholder Consents (as defined below) and declared them void and, therefore, making any such actions that flow from the Stockholder Consents void; however, the Inscobee Parties dispute the validity of the Support Agreements and believe that the Stockholder Consents are valid as were any actions taken pursuant to such Stockholder Consents.

 

G.The parties desire to settle and resolve all outstanding issues between them without litigation.

 

H.In connection with the Investor Financing (as defined below), the parties also desire to waive certain covenants in the Merger Agreement and Side Letter as described below.

 

I.It is agreed that the Company shall distribute the shares of Lokahai as provided herein.

 

J.The parties also wish to clarify the Company’s board of directors and management by causing the Inscobee Parties to amend or replace their beneficial ownership reports on Section 13D filing and cooperate with the Company in preparing a press release that the Company shall release regarding the resolution of the dispute.

 

K.A new subsidiary/SPV of the Company (“Newco”) will be formed and run by the Co- CEO.

 

L.Newco shall be spun off within 12 months of the Effective Date as agreed between the Board of Directors and the Company.

M.Notwithstanding the foregoing, such period may be extended once, for an additional period not to exceed twelve (12) months, upon approval by the board of directors of Newco.

i. Schedule 13D Withdrawal. The Inscobee Parties shall amend any and all beneficial ownership reports on Schedule 13D previously filed by the Inscobee Parties with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission promptly following the Effective Date but, in any event, no later than four (4) business days of the Effective Date. The Inscobee Parties shall amend the beneficial ownership reports on Schedule 13D required to be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in form and substance as agreed upon by the Inscobee Parties and Menon.

c. Information Statement. The Inscobee Parties agree to fully cooperate with, and take all actions reasonably requested by, the Company to facilitate the effectiveness of the Proposals, including providing any information, consents, or documents reasonably requested in connection with the effectiveness of the Proposals. The Inscobee Parties further agree that they shall not take any action, directly or indirectly, that would reasonably be expected to delay, impair, or prevent the effectiveness of the Proposals, including, but not limited to taking any action to impede, revoke, or otherwise attempting to impede or revoke the Irrevocable Proxy.

 

d. Annual Report on Form 10-K. Inscobee Parties agree to fully cooperate with, and take all actions reasonably requested by, the Company in connection with the completion of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “10-K”). The Inscobee Parties further agree that they shall not take any action, directly or indirectly, that would reasonably be expected to delay, impair, or prevent the filing of the 10-K.

 

e. Regulatory Approvals. Inscobee Parties agree to fully cooperate with, and take all actions reasonably requested by, the Company in connection with any approvals required to be obtained from any Governmental Authority in to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

9. Void Actions. On December 30, 2025, the Inscobee Parties purported to pass a written consent of a majority of the stockholders of the Company (“December Consent”) to remove Emerson as a director of the Company. Also, on March 20, 2026, the Inscobee Parties in connection with certain other stockholders of the Company purported to pass a written consent of the stockholders of the Company (“March Consent” together with the December Consent, collectively, the “Stockholder Consents”) to, among other things, (i) adopt the second amendment to the amended and restated bylaw of the Company in connection with changes to the Company’s board of directors, (ii) appoint Youngjik Cho, Minguk Ji, and Junyoung Yu as directors of the Company’s board of directors, and (iii) remove Elona Kogan, Jakap Koo, Carol O’Donnell, and Dr. Bennett Weintraub from the Company’s board of directors. The Inscobee Parties previously entered into a support agreement (the “Support Agreements”) and voting agreements (the “Voting Agreements”) in connection with the Merger Agreement that, if validly entered into, prohibited them from voting in favor of changing the Company’s board of directors while the Support Agreements or Voting Agreements were in place or taking any other action that would prevent the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. In connection with this Agreement, the parties agree that the Company Support Agreements and Voting Agreements are valid and binding agreements of the Inscobee Parties and, thus, should treat the Stockholder Consents as void. Therefore, the parties recognize that the ownership held by the remaining stockholders, excluding the Inscobee Parties, signatory to the Stockholder Consents is insufficient to take such stockholder actions, and are therefore, void. All such actions deriving from the Stockholder Consents, including the actions of the purported board in terminating the executives of the Company are void.

15. Confidentiality.

 

a. Restrictions on Disclosure of Information.

 

i. Without limiting any rights or obligations under any other agreement between or among the parties and/or any of their respective affiliates relating to confidentiality, for a period of three (3) years following the Effective Date, each of the parties agrees that it shall not, and shall not permit any of its affiliates or representatives to, disclose any Confidential Information to any person, other than to such affiliates or representatives on a need-to-know basis in connection with the purpose for which the Confidential Information was originally disclosed. Such information shall no longer be deemed Confidential Information to the extent that it is or was (i) in the public domain other than by the breach of this Agreement or by breach of any other agreement between or among the parties and/or any of their respective affiliates, (ii) available to such party outside the context of the prior relationship on a nonconfidential basis before its disclosure by the other party, (iii) lawfully acquired outside the context of the prior relationship on a nonconfidential basis or independently developed by, or on behalf of, such party by persons who do not have access to, or descriptions of, any such Confidential Information, (iv) required to be disclosed by law, governmental order or the rules and regulations of the SEC, or (v) mutually agreed to by the parties. For purposes of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” shall mean with respect to any party, any and all records, books, contracts, instruments, computer data and other data concerning such party, its business or any of its affiliates that was obtained by another party any other records, books, contracts, instruments, computer data and other data obtained by, or furnished to, another party.

 

ii. Each of the parties shall maintain, and shall cause its respective affiliates to maintain, policies and procedures, and develop such further policies and procedures as shall from time to time become necessary or appropriate, to ensure compliance with this Section.

 

b. Legally Required Disclosure of Confidential Information. If any of the parties to this Agreement or any of their respective affiliates or representatives become legally required to disclose any Confidential Information, such disclosing party shall promptly notify the party owning the Confidential Information (the “Owning Party”) and shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Owning Party so that the Owning Party may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with this section. All expenses reasonably incurred in seeking a protective order or other remedy shall be borne by the Owning Party. If such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, or if the Owning Party waives compliance with this section, the disclosing party or its affiliate or representative, as applicable, shall (a) disclose only that portion of the Confidential Information it is compelled by law to disclose, (b) use all commercially reasonable efforts to obtain reliable assurance requested by the Owning Party that confidential treatment will be accorded such Confidential Information, and (c) promptly provide the Owning Party with a copy of the Confidential Information so disclosed, in the same form and format so disclosed, together with a description of all persons to whom such Confidential Information was disclosed.

 

13

 

 

c. Access to Information.

 

i. During the Retention Period, each of the parties shall cooperate with and afford, and shall cause their respective affiliates, representatives, subsidiaries, successors and/or assignees, and shall use reasonable efforts to cause joint ventures that are not affiliates (collectively, “Related Parties”) to cooperate with, and afford to the other party, reasonable access upon reasonable advance written request to all information (other than information created after the effective date of the Spinoff (i) the disclosure of which would have the effect of waiving a legal privilege, or (ii) which is the subject of a confidentiality agreement between such party and a third party which prohibits disclosure to the other party, provided that such party shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such third party’s consent to disclosure of such information) within such party’s or any Related Party’s possession. Access to the requested information shall be provided so long as it relates to the requesting party’s (the “Requestor”) assets, business and operations, and access is reasonably required by the Requestor as a result of the parties’ prior relationship for purposes of auditing, accounting, claims or litigation (except for claims or litigation between the parties), employee benefits, regulatory or tax purposes or fulfilling disclosure or reporting obligations including, without limitation, information reasonably necessary for the preparation of reports required by or filed under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 with respect to any period entirely or partially before the effective date of the Spinoff or any other reasonable purpose.

 

ii. Each party agrees to cooperate fully to allow access to each other’s employees (i) to the extent that they are reasonably necessary to discuss and explain all requested information with and to the requesting party and (ii) with respect to any claims brought against the other involving the conduct of the Lokahi business before the effective date of the Spinoff.

 

d. Books and Records. The Company, Newco and Lokahi shall preserve and keep all of their respective books and records in the possession of such party or its Related Parties, whether in electronic form or otherwise, for no less than the later of (i) the record retention policy of the Company, Newco and Lokahi as in effect as of the date the respective Spinoff is effectuated or (ii) any period as may be required by any promulgated laws, regulations or rulings of any jurisdiction (or of any political subdivision or taxing authority) (the “Retention Period”), at such party’s sole cost and expense. The Company shall deliver to Lokahi the date the Spinoff is effectuated, any and all original corporate organization books that Company has in its possession relating solely to Lokahi, copies of which the Company may retain at its own expense.

 

e. Financial and Other Information. For so long as Company is required to consolidate Lokahi’s or Newco’s results of operations and financial position (determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied):

 

i. Lokahi and Newco shall each maintain a system of internal accounting controls in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and tax related requirements that will provide reasonable assurance that Lokahi’s and any subsidiaries’ books, records, and accounts fairly reflect all transactions and dispositions of assets.

 

14

 

 

ii. Lokahi and Newco shall maintain a fiscal year which commences and ends on the same dates as does Company’s fiscal year of each calendar year.

 

iii. Lokahi shall, as promptly as practicable, deliver to Company copies of all annual and other budgets and financial projections (consistent in terms of format and detail and otherwise with the procedures in effect on the Effective Date) relating to Lokahi or any of its subsidiaries and shall provide Company an opportunity to meet with management of Lokahi to discuss such budgets and projections.

 

iv. With reasonable promptness, Lokahi and Newco shall deliver to Company such additional financial and other information and data with respect to Lokahi and its subsidiaries and their business, properties, financial positions, results of operations and prospects as from time to time may be reasonably requested by Company.

 

v. Except with respect to Lokahi’s quarterly and annual earnings releases, Lokahi shall deliver to Company as soon as practicable but in no event one business day before issuance, copies of substantially final drafts of all press releases and other statements to be made available by Lokahi or any of its subsidiaries to employees of Lokahi or any of its subsidiaries or to the public concerning material developments in the business, properties, earnings, results of operations, financial condition or prospects of Lokahi or any of its subsidiaries or the relationship between (i) Lokahi or any of its subsidiaries and (ii) Company or any of its affiliates. In addition, within such one day period, before the issuance of any such press release or public statement, Lokahi shall actively consult with Company regarding any changes (other than typographical or other similar minor changes) to such substantially final drafts. Immediately following the issuance, Lokahi shall deliver to Company copies of final drafts of all press releases and other public statements.

 

vi. Company and Lokahi shall cooperate fully, and cause their respective accountants to cooperate fully, to the extent requested by the other party in the preparation of the other party’s public earnings releases, annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, any current reports on Form 8-K and any other proxy, information and registration statements, reports, notices, prospectuses and any filings made by Company with the SEC, any national securities exchange, any interdealer quotation system or otherwise made publicly available (the “Public Filings”). Newco and Lokahi each agree to provide to the Company all information that the Company reasonably requests in connection with any Public Filings or that, in the judgment of either party, is required to be disclosed or incorporated by reference under any law, rule or regulation. Such information shall be provided by such party in a timely manner on the dates requested by the other party (which may be earlier than the dates on which such party otherwise would be required to have such information available) to enable the Company to prepare, print and release all Public Filings on such dates as such party shall determine. Company and Lokahi shall each use its reasonable best efforts to cause their respective accountants to consent to any reference to them as experts Company in any Public Filing required under any law, rule or regulation. If and to the extent requested by either party, the other party shall diligently and promptly review all drafts of such Public Filing and prepare in a diligent and timely fashion any portion of such Public Filing pertaining to that party. Before any printing or public release of any Public Filing, an appropriate executive officer of Company or Lokahi shall, if requested by the other party, certify that the information provided by such party relating to such party, its affiliates or its business in such Public Filing is accurate, true and correct in all material respects. Unless required by law, rule, regulation or generally accepted accounted principles, Lokahi shall not publicly release any financial or other information which significantly conflicts with the information with respect to Lokahi, any of its affiliates or the Lokahi business that is included in any Public Filing without the Company’s prior written consent. Before the release or filing, Company and Lokahi shall provide each other with a draft of any portion of a Public Filing containing information relating to the other party and its subsidiaries and shall give such party an opportunity to review such information and comment; provided that the other party shall determine in its sole discretion the final form and content of all Public Filings.

 

15

 

 

vii. Lokahi shall not change its independent certified public accountants without Company’s prior consent.

 

viii. Lokahi and Company shall use reasonable efforts to make available to each other its past and present directors, officers, other employees and agents as witnesses in any legal, administrative or other proceedings in which the other party may become involved and the Company providing information, consultant or witness services under this Agreement will be entitled to reimbursement from the other for reasonable expenses incurred in providing this assistance.

 

ix. Lokahai shall comply with the provisions of this Section 15 as long as its financial statements are required to be included in the Public Filings of the Company.

 

16. Dismissal of Lawsuit. Within five (5) business days after the Effective Date, Emerson shall file a stipulation of dismissal without prejudice of the action filed by him in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against the Inscobee Parties (the "Lokahi Action"). The dismissal shall automatically convert to dismissal with prejudice on the one hundred eightieth (180th) day after the Effective Date, provided there has been no breach by the Inscobee Parties of this Agreement.

j. Amendment. This Agreement may be amended, supplemented or modified only by execution of a written instrument signed by the parties to this Agreement.

Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties will substitute for any invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision a suitable and equitable provision that carries out, so far as may be valid, legal and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision.

 

l. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed and delivered (including by facsimile or other electronic transmission) in one or more counterparts, and by the different parties in separate counterparts, each of which when executed will be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together will constitute one and the same agreement.
