Item 1C. Cybersecurity.

ITEM 1C. CYBERSECURITY We acknowledge the increasing importance of cybersecurity in today’s digital and interconnected world. Cybersecurity threats pose significant risks to the integrity of our systems and data, potentially impacting our business operations, financial condition and reputation. As a smaller reporting company, we currently do not have formalized cybersecurity measures, a dedicated cybersecurity team or specific protocols in place to manage cybersecurity risks. Our approach to cybersecurity is in the developmental stage, and we have only begun to conduct comprehensive risk assessments, establish an incident response plan, and engage with external cybersecurity consultants for assessments or services. As of the date of this report, we have adopted an incident response plan which governs our assessment and response upon the occurrence of a material cybersecurity incident, including the process for informing senior management and our Board of Directors. Our Vice President of Finance and Administration has been designated as the lead for implanting our incident response plan. In addition, in 2024, we have acquired a cybersecurity insurance policy. Given our current stage of cybersecurity development, we have not experienced any significant cybersecurity incidents to date. However, we recognize that the absence of a formalized cybersecurity framework may leave us vulnerable to cyberattacks, data breaches and other cybersecurity incidents. Such events could potentially lead to unauthorized access to, or disclosure of, sensitive information, disrupt our business operations, result in regulatory fines or litigation costs and negatively impact our reputation among customers and partners. We are in the process of evaluating our cybersecurity needs and developing appropriate measures to enhance our cybersecurity posture. This includes considering the engagement of external cybersecurity experts to advise on best practices, conducting vulnerability assessments and developing an incident response strategy. Our goal is to establish a cybersecurity framework that is commensurate with our size, complexity and the nature of our operations, thereby reducing our exposure to cybersecurity risks. In addition, our board of directors will oversee any cybersecurity risk management framework and a dedicated committee of our board of directors will review and approve any cybersecurity policies, strategies and risk management practices. Despite our efforts to improve our cybersecurity measures, there can be no assurance that our initiatives will fully mitigate the risks posed by cyber threats. The landscape of cybersecurity risks is constantly evolving, and we will continue to assess and update our cybersecurity measures in response to emerging threats. For a discussion of potential cybersecurity risks affecting us, please refer to the " Risk Factors " section.
