  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1
    The Series K Preferred Stock and the Series K Warrants contain certain anti-dilution provisions, which may dilute the interests of our stockholders, depress the price of our common stock, and make it difficult for us to raise additional capital.

    Certain events, for example, a Stock Combination Event (as defined in each of the Series K Certificate of Designations and the Series K Warrants) may reduce the conversion price of the Series K Preferred Stock and the exercise price of the Series K Warrants, which in turn may lead to further dilution to the holders of our Common Stock. The Series K Warrants additionally contain anti-dilution provisions applicable to the exercise price. If in the future, while any of the Series K Warrants are outstanding, we may be required upon the occurrence of certain events, to adjust the exercise price of the Series K Warrants, and simultaneously with any adjustment to the exercise price, the number of shares of Common Stock that may be purchased upon exercise of the Series K Warrants shall be increased or decreased proportionately, so that after such adjustment the aggregate exercise price payable thereunder for the adjusted number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Series K Warrants shall be the same as the aggregate exercise price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment. Such adjustments can dilute the book value per share of Common Stock and reduce any proceeds we may receive from the exercise of the Series K Warrants. In addition, the perceived risk of dilution may cause our shareholders to be more inclined to sell their Common Stock, which may in turn depress the price of common shares regardless of our business performance. We may also find it more difficult to raise additional equity capital while any of the Series K Warrants and the Series K Preferred Stock remain outstanding.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 2
    Holders of our shares of Series K Preferred Stock are entitled to certain payments under the Series K Certificate of Designations that may be paid in cash, which may require the expenditure of a substantial portion of our cash resources.

    The holders of the Series K Preferred Stock are entitled to dividends of 7% per annum ("Dividends"), compounded each calendar quarter, which are payable in arrears on the first trading day of each calendar quarter (each, a "Dividend Date"), with the first Dividend Date being July 1, 2026, in cash out of funds legally available therefor; provided that a holder of the Series K Preferred Stock and the Company may mutually agree to convert any Dividends into shares of Common Stock at a price to be mutually determined by the Company and such holder, which shall not be less than the lower of (x) $0.502, which was 20% of the "Minimum Price" (as defined in Rule 5635 of the Nasdaq Stock Market) on the date of the Purchase Agreement and (y) 20% of the "Minimum Price" (as defined in Rule 5635 of the Nasdaq Stock Market) on the Stockholder Approval Date, in each case, subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations, recapitalizations or other similar events, or, in any case, such lower amount as permitted, from time to time, by the Nasdaq Capital Market (the "Floor Price"). Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Triggering Event (as defined in the Series K Certificate of Designations), the Series K Preferred Stock accrue dividends at the rate of 15% per annum. In connection with a Triggering Event, each holder of Series K Preferred Stock will be able to require us to redeem in cash any or all of the holder's Series K Preferred Stock at a premium set forth in the Series K Certificate of Designations. If such Triggering Event occurs, our financial condition and results of operations could be materially affected. If we do not have sufficient cash resources to make these payments, we may need to raise additional equity or debt capital, and we cannot provide any assurance that we will be successful in doing so. If are unable to raise sufficient capital to meet our payment obligations, we may need to delay, reduce or eliminate certain research and development programs or other operations, sell some or all of our assets or merge with another entity. Our ability to make payments due to the holders of our Series K Preferred Stock using cash is also limited by the amount of cash we have on hand at the time such payments are due as well as certain provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 3
    The Series J Preferred Stock and related anti-dilution provisions may result in significant dilution to our common stockholders and may limit our operational and financial flexibility.

    Pursuant to the JDA, the Company agreed to issue to Kopin shares of Series J Preferred Stock constituting 19.9% of the pro forma fully-diluted outstanding shares of Common Stock, convertible at the Series J Conversion Price of $2.51 per share. The Series J Certificate of Designations provides that the Maximum Issuance (as defined in the Series J Certificate of Designations) shall be increased upon the occurrence of Dilutive Issuances or Dilutive Conversions by 0.1999 shares of Common Stock for each share of Common Stock issued in connection with such events, until adjustments have been made with respect to an aggregate of $50 million in such issuances. The Company has agreed to take all actions necessary to give full force and effect to these adjustment provisions, including through the issuance of additional shares of Series J Preferred Stock to Kopin. In addition, the Series J Preferred Stock accrues dividends at 6% per annum, payable semi-annually on each Dividend Payment Date, which may be paid as a PIK Dividend through the issuance of additional shares of Series J Preferred Stock having an aggregate stated value equal to the amount of the dividend then due, further increasing the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion. Without the prior express consent of the Required Holders, the Company may not, among other things, amend its Charter or Bylaws in ways that would adversely affect the Series J Preferred Stock, create or authorize new Senior Preferred Stock or Parity Stock, purchase or redeem Junior Stock, or pay dividends on Junior Stock. These protective provisions, together with the potential for significant dilution from anti-dilution adjustments and PIK Dividends, may restrict the Company's ability to pursue certain corporate transactions or capital raising activities, depress the market price of the Company's Common Stock, and make it more difficult for the Company to raise additional capital on favorable terms.

  • Debt & Financing - Risk 4
    We will require substantial additional capital to fund our semiconductor development activities, and there can be no assurance that such capital will be available on acceptable terms, or at all.

    Our semiconductor development activities will require substantial capital investment. Pursuant to the JDA, we have agreed to pay Kopin up to $15,000,000 for the initial development of the project technology, and following a successful prototype demonstration, the parties expect to negotiate a production plan that may include an additional payment by us of approximately $15,000,000 to $25,000,000. In addition to our obligations under the JDA, we expect to incur significant costs related to research and development, personnel, equipment, and general corporate activities as we scale our operations. While we have raised significant funds through recent financing transactions, these funds may not be sufficient to fund our development activities through commercialization. If we are unable to raise additional capital when needed, we may be required to delay, reduce, or eliminate certain development programs, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and prospects.

  • Debt & Financing - Risk 5
    Under the Series K Purchase Agreement, we are subject to certain restrictive covenants that may make it difficult to procure additional financing.

    The Series K Purchase Agreement contains, among others, the following restrictive covenants: (A) until ninety (90) days following the earlier of (x) the date on which this registration statement is declared effective or (y) the date on which the selling stockholders may sell their shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series K Preferred Stock or upon exercise of the Series K Warrants without restriction pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, we may not issue, offer, sell, grant any option or right to purchase, or otherwise dispose of (or announce any issuance, offer, sale, grant of any option or right to purchase or other disposition of) any equity security or any equity-linked or related security, (B) until all of the Series K Warrants are no longer outstanding, we shall be prohibited from effecting or entering into an agreement to effect any subsequent placement involving a variable rate transaction, and (C) until the date in which no shares of Series K Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the Company must provide the holders of the shares of Series K Preferred Stock the opportunity to participate in any subsequent securities offerings by us. If we require additional funding while these restrictive covenants remain in effect, we may be unable to effect a financing transaction on terms acceptable to us, or at all, while also remaining in compliance with the terms of the Series K Purchase Agreement, or we may be forced to seek a waiver from the investors party to the Series K Purchase Agreement, which such investors are not obligated to grant to us.

  • Debt & Financing - Risk 6
    The Series K Certificate of Designations contains restrictive covenants and terms that may make it difficult to procure additional financing and that may affect our financial condition and results of operations.

    The Series K Certificate of Designations contains certain restrictive covenants including but not limited to: maintaining a minimum amount of unencumbered, unrestricted cash and cash equivalents on hand, until the date on which less than 1,050 shares of the Series I Preferred Stock are outstanding; restrictions on incurring any indebtedness until the date on which no shares of Series I Preferred Shares are outstanding, subject to certain exceptions; restrictions on directly or indirectly, redeeming, repurchasing or declaring or paying any cash dividend or distribution on any of our capital stock (other than as required by the Series K Certificate of Designations, the Series A Certificate of Designations, the Series H-7 Certificate of Designations, the Series I Certificate of Designations and Series J Certificate of Designations), and restrictions on directly or indirectly, permitting any of our indebtedness to mature or accelerate prior to the Maturity Date (as defined in the Series K Certificate of Designations). Additionally, the Series K Preferred Stock also contain certain purchase rights (the "Purchase Rights") permitting the holders of the Series K Preferred Stock to acquire upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which such holder could have acquired if such holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete conversion of all of its shares of Series K Preferred Stock. These restrictive covenants may limit our flexibility in raising capital or incurring any indebtedness, which may have an adverse effect on our financial condition.

  • Corporate Activity and Growth - Risk 7
    We are substantially dependent on our collaboration with Kopin Corporation for the development and manufacturing of our semiconductor products. If our relationship with Kopin is disrupted or terminated, our business could be materially and adversely affected.

    Our semiconductor strategy is substantially dependent on our collaboration with Kopin Corporation pursuant to the JDA dated April 27, 2026 and the related Commercial Supply Agreement. Kopin is the sole provider of the MicroLED technology that is foundational to our Neural I/o chip. Under the Supply Agreement, all products incorporating the project technology must be manufactured exclusively by or on behalf of Kopin, and we are required to purchase our entire requirements for products from Kopin, subject to limited exceptions for supply failure events. If Kopin is unable or unwilling to continue to perform under the JDA or Supply Agreement, experiences manufacturing difficulties, fails to meet quality or delivery requirements, or if the JDA or Supply Agreement is terminated for any reason, we may be unable to develop or commercialize our products on the timelines we anticipate, or at all. In the event of termination arising from our breach, failure to fund, or a bankruptcy event, Kopin has the right to continue to develop, use, and commercialize the project technology without restriction, and we have agreed to assign to Kopin all of our right, title, and interest in the project technology. Any disruption in our relationship with Kopin could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

    The Series J Preferred Stock and related anti-dilution provisions may result in significant dilution to our common stockholders and may limit our operational and financial flexibility.

    Pursuant to the JDA, the Company agreed to issue to Kopin shares of Series J Preferred Stock constituting 19.9% of the pro forma fully-diluted outstanding shares of Common Stock, convertible at the Series J Conversion Price of $2.51 per share. The Series J Certificate of Designations provides that the Maximum Issuance (as defined in the Series J Certificate of Designations) shall be increased upon the occurrence of Dilutive Issuances or Dilutive Conversions by 0.1999 shares of Common Stock for each share of Common Stock issued in connection with such events, until adjustments have been made with respect to an aggregate of $50 million in such issuances. The Company has agreed to take all actions necessary to give full force and effect to these adjustment provisions, including through the issuance of additional shares of Series J Preferred Stock to Kopin. In addition, the Series J Preferred Stock accrues dividends at 6% per annum, payable semi-annually on each Dividend Payment Date, which may be paid as a PIK Dividend through the issuance of additional shares of Series J Preferred Stock having an aggregate stated value equal to the amount of the dividend then due, further increasing the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion. Without the prior express consent of the Required Holders, the Company may not, among other things, amend its Charter or Bylaws in ways that would adversely affect the Series J Preferred Stock, create or authorize new Senior Preferred Stock or Parity Stock, purchase or redeem Junior Stock, or pay dividends on Junior Stock.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 4
    Anti-takeover provisions of our certificate of incorporation, our bylaws and Delaware law could make an acquisition of us, which may be beneficial to our stockholders, more difficult and may prevent attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove the current members of our board and management.

    Certain provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws could discourage, delay or prevent a merger, acquisition or other change of control that stockholders may consider favorable, including transactions in which you might otherwise receive a premium for your shares. Furthermore, these provisions could prevent or frustrate attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove members of our board of directors. These provisions also could limit the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for our securities, thereby depressing the market price of our securities. Stockholders who wish to participate in these transactions may not have the opportunity to do so. These provisions, among other things: - allow the authorized number of directors to be changed only by resolution of our board of directors;     - authorize our board of directors to issue, without stockholder approval, preferred stock, the rights of which will be determined at the discretion of the board of directors and that, if issued, could operate as a "poison pill" to dilute the stock ownership of a potential hostile acquirer to prevent an acquisition that our board of directors does not approve;     - establish advance notice requirements for stockholder nominations to our board of directors or for stockholder proposals that can be acted on at stockholder meetings; and     - limit who may call a stockholder meeting. In addition, we are governed by the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law that may, unless certain criteria are met, prohibit large stockholders, in particular those owning 15% or more of the voting rights on our common stock, from merging or combining with us for a prescribed period of time.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 5
    An active trading market for our Common Stock may not be sustained.

    The listing of our Common Stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market does not assure that a meaningful, consistent and liquid trading market exists. An active trading market for shares of our Common Stock may not be sustained. If an active market for our Common Stock is not sustained, it may be difficult for investors to sell their shares either without depressing the market price for the shares or at all.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 6
    Our failure to meet the continued listing requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market ("Nasdaq") could result in a delisting of our common stock.

    Our common stock is currently listed for trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market. We must satisfy Nasdaq's continued listing requirements, including, among other things, a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 per share or risk delisting, which would have a material adverse effect on our business. A delisting of our common stock from The Nasdaq Capital Market could materially reduce the liquidity of our common stock and result in a corresponding material reduction in the price of our common stock. In addition, delisting could harm our ability to raise capital through alternative financing sources on terms acceptable to us, or at all, and may result in the potential loss of confidence by investors, suppliers, customers and employees and fewer business development opportunities. There is no assurance that we will maintain compliance with such minimum listing requirements. If our common stock were delisted from Nasdaq, trading of our common stock would most likely take place on an over-the-counter market established for unlisted securities, such as the OTCQB or the Pink Market maintained by OTC Markets Group Inc. An investor would likely find it less convenient to sell, or to obtain accurate quotations in seeking to buy, our common stock on an over-the-counter market, and many investors would likely not buy or sell our common stock due to difficulty in accessing over-the-counter markets, policies preventing them from trading in securities not listed on a national exchange or other reasons. In addition, as a delisted security, our common stock would be subject to SEC rules as a "penny stock," which impose additional disclosure requirements on broker-dealers. The regulations relating to penny stocks, coupled with the typically higher cost per trade to the investor of penny stocks due to factors such as broker commissions generally representing a higher percentage of the price of a penny stock than of a higher-priced stock, would further limit the ability of investors to trade in our common stock. In addition, delisting could harm our ability to raise capital through alternative financing sources on terms acceptable to us, or at all, and may result in the potential loss of confidence by investors, suppliers, customers and employees and fewer business development opportunities. For these reasons and others, delisting would adversely affect the liquidity, trading volume and price of our common stock, causing the value of an investment in us to decrease and having an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, including our ability to attract and retain qualified employees and to raise capital.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 7
    Our stock price may be volatile.

    The market price of our common stock is likely to be highly volatile and could fluctuate widely in price in response to various factors, many of which are beyond our control, including the following: - results of our operations and product development efforts;     - our ability to obtain working capital financing;     - additions or departures of key personnel;     - limited "public float" in the hands of a small number of persons whose sales or lack of sales could result in positive or negative pricing pressure on the market price for our common stock;     - our ability to execute our business plan;     - sales of our common stock and decline in demand for our common stock;     - regulatory developments;     - economic and other external factors;     - investor perception of our industry or our prospects; and     - period-to-period fluctuations in our financial results. In addition, the securities markets have from time-to-time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 8
    The Certificate of Designations for the Series H-7 Preferred Stock and the Series H-7 Warrants issued concurrently therewith contain anti-dilution provisions that may result in the reduction of the conversion price of the Series H-7 Preferred Stock or the exercise price of such Series H-7 Warrants in the future. These features may increase the number of shares of common stock being issuable upon conversion of the Series H-7 Preferred Stock or upon the exercise of the Series H-7 Warrants.

    The Certificate of Designations the Series H-7 Warrants contain anti-dilution provisions, which provisions require the lowering of the applicable conversion price or exercise, as then in effect, to the purchase price of equity or equity-linked securities issued in any subsequent offerings. If in the future, while any shares of Series H-7 Preferred Stock or Series H-7 Warrants are outstanding, we issue securities for a consideration per share of common stock (the "New Issuance Price") that is less than the Conversion Price of the Series H-7 Preferred Stock or the exercise price of the Series H-7 Warrants, as then in effect, we will be required, subject to certain limitations and adjustments as provided in the Certificate of Designations or the Series H-7 Warrants, to reduce the Conversion Price or the exercise price to be equal to the New Issuance Price, which will result in a greater number of shares of common stock being issuable upon conversion of the Series H-7 Preferred Stock and the exercise of the Series H-7 Warrants, which in turn will increase the dilutive effect of such conversions or exercises on existing holders of our common stock. It is possible that we will not have a sufficient number of shares available to satisfy the conversion of the Series H-7 Preferred Stock or the exercise of the Series H-7 Warrants if we enter into a future transaction that reduces the applicable Conversion Price or exercise price. If we do not have a sufficient number of available shares for any Series H-7 Preferred Stock conversions or Series H-7 Warrant exercises, we may need to seek stockholder approval to increase the number of authorized shares of our common stock, which may not be possible and will be time consuming and expensive. The potential for such additional issuances may depress the price of our common stock regardless of our business performance and may make it difficult for us to raise additional equity capital while any of the Series H-7 Preferred Stock or Series H-7 Warrants are outstanding.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 9
    Holders of our Series H-7 Preferred Stock are entitled to certain payments under the Certificate of Designations that may be paid in cash or in shares of common stock depending on the circumstances. If we make these payments in cash, we may be required to expend a substantial portion of our cash resources. If we make these payments in common stock, it may result in substantial dilution to the holders of our common stock.

    Under the Certificate of Designations (the "Certificate of Designations") of our Series H-7 Preferred Stock we are required to redeem the shares of Series H-7 Preferred Stock in monthly installments. Holders of Series H-7 Preferred Stock are also entitled to receive dividends, payable in arrears monthly, and dividends payable on installment dates shall be paid as part of the applicable installment amount. Installment amounts are payable, at the company's election, in shares of common stock or, subject to certain limitations, in cash. Installment amounts paid in cash must be paid in the amount of 105% of the applicable payment amount due. For installment amounts paid in shares of common stock, the number of shares of common stock shall be calculated by dividing the applicable payment amount due by the "installment conversion price." The installment conversion price shall be equal to the lower of (i) the Conversion Price (as defined in the Certificate of Designations) in effect as of the applicable payment date and (ii) the greater of (A) 80% of the average of the three lowest closing prices of our common stock during the thirty trading day period immediately prior to the date the payment is due or (B) $11.904 (subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations, recapitalizations or other similar events) or, in any case, such lower amount as permitted, from time to time, by the Nasdaq Stock Market (the "Floor Price"). Our ability to make payments due to the holders of Series H-7 Preferred Stock using shares of common stock is subject to certain limitations set forth in the Certificate of Designations. If we are unable to make installment payments in shares of common stock, we may be forced to make such payments in cash. If we do not have sufficient cash resources to make these payments, we may need to raise additional equity or debt capital, and we cannot provide any assurance that we will be successful in doing so. If we are unable to raise sufficient capital to meet our payment obligations, we may need to delay, reduce or eliminate certain research and development programs or other operations, sell some or all of our assets or merge with another entity. Our ability to make payments due to the holders of Series H-7 Preferred Stock using cash is also limited by the amount of cash we have on hand at the time such payments are due, as well as certain provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law. Further, we intend to make the installment payments due to holders of Series H-7 Preferred Stock in the form of common stock to the extent allowed under the Certificate of Designations and applicable law in order to preserve our cash resources. The issuance of shares of common stock to the holders of our Series H-7 Preferred Stock will increase the number of shares of common stock outstanding and could result in substantial dilution to the existing holders of our common stock.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 10
    The Series I Preferred Stock and the Private Placement Warrants contain certain anti-dilution provisions, which may dilute the interests of our stockholders, depress the price of our common stock, and make it difficult for us to raise additional capital.

    Certain events, for example, a Stock Combination Event (as defined in the Series I Certificate of Designations) may reduce the conversion price of the Series I Preferred Stock, which in turn may lead to further dilution to the holders of our Common Stock. The Private Placement Warrants additionally contain anti-dilution provisions applicable to the exercise price. If in the future, while any of the Private Placement Warrants are outstanding, we may be required upon the occurrence of certain events, to adjust the exercise price of the Private Placement Warrants, and simultaneously with any adjustment to the exercise price, the number of shares of Common Stock that may be purchased upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants shall be increased or decreased proportionately, so that after such adjustment the aggregate exercise price payable thereunder for the adjusted number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants shall be the same as the aggregate exercise price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment. Such adjustments can dilute the book value per share of Common Stock and reduce any proceeds we may receive from the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants. In addition, the perceived risk of dilution may cause our shareholders to be more inclined to sell their Common Stock, which may in turn depress the price of common shares regardless of our business performance. We may also find it more difficult to raise additional equity capital while any of the Private Placement Warrants and the Series I Preferred Stock remain outstanding.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 11

FAQ

What are “Risk Factors”?
Risk factors are any situations or occurrences that could make investing in a company risky. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requires that publicly traded companies disclose their most significant risk factors. This is so that potential investors can consider any risks before they make an investment. They also offer companies protection, as a company can use risk factors as liability protection. This could happen if a company underperforms and investors take legal action as a result. It is worth noting that smaller companies, that is those with a public float of under $75 million on the last business day, do not have to include risk factors in their 10-K and 10-Q forms, although some may choose to do so.
How do companies disclose their risk factors?
Publicly traded companies initially disclose their risk factors to the SEC through their S-1 filings as part of the IPO process. Additionally, companies must provide a complete list of risk factors in their Annual Reports (Form 10-K) or (Form 20-F) for “foreign private issuers”. Quarterly Reports also include a section on risk factors (Form 10-Q) where companies are only required to update any changes since the previous report. According to the SEC, risk factors should be reported concisely, logically and in “plain English” so investors can understand them.
