The First Closing occurred on September 10, 2025.
Upon the First Closing, the Reporting Person has the right, subject to compliance with the applicable rules and regulations of The Nasdaq Capital Market, to designate one member of the Issuer's board of directors as long as the Reporting Person or its affiliates beneficially own at least 25% of the Shares the Reporting Person purchased at the First Closing.
Additionally, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, following the public announcement by the Issuer of the achievement of the primary endpoint and topline clinical data and results of the NEPHRO CRRT clinical study for the Issuer's product candidate Niyad (the "Public Announcement"), the Reporting Person shall have the right for 60 days thereafter (the "Exclusivity Period") to negotiate exclusively with the Issuer with respect to an acquisition of 100% of the capital stock and equity interests of the Issuer (the "Acquisition Transaction").
