The lenders are J. Stanley Fredrick, Chairman of the Board and our largest shareholder, Tyler Rameson, our second largest shareholder, and Kevin Robbins. Tyler Rameson is lending money through his firm, Jade Capital, LLC, where he is the managing member.

The Company received the fairness opinion on April 15, 2024, finding that the terms of the Promissory Notes are fair from a financial point of view.
