OPTIMIZERX CORPORATION
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in thousands, excepts share and per share data, unaudited)
NOTE 1 – NATURE OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include OptimizeRx Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”, “we”, “our”, or “us”).
We are a digital healthcare technology company that connects over two million HCPs and millions of their patients through an intelligent technology platform embedded within a proprietary omnichannel network. OptimizeRx helps life science organizations engage and support their customers through our combined HCP and DTC marketing strategies.
The condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 have been prepared by us without audit pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial position at June 30, 2025, and our results of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, have been made. Those adjustments consist of normal and recurring adjustments. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024, has been derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet as of that date. We operate a single reporting segment and, accordingly, use our consolidated net income as our measure of profit and loss and it is not presented separately here.
Certain information and note disclosures, including a detailed discussion about the Company’s significant accounting policies, normally included in our annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with a reading of the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, as filed with the SEC on March 20, 2025 (“Form 10-K”).
The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
Segment Reporting
We operate in one reportable segment and use consolidated net income as our measure of segment profit and loss. Overall, our business involves connecting life science companies to patients and providers. We have a common customer base of life sciences customers geographically located in the U.S. for all of our solutions, which primarily focus on all communications between our life sciences customers and with healthcare providers or patients. We do not prepare separate internal income statements by solution as our focus is on selling enterprise arrangements covering multiple solutions that span the entire patient journey with a specific brand.
Our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”). The CODM allocates resources and assesses performance of the business and other activities at the operating segment level. The CODM assesses performance for the operating segment and decides how to allocate resources based on net income (loss) that is also reported on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations as consolidated net income (loss). The measure of segment assets is reported on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as total assets.
The CODM uses consolidated net income (loss) to evaluate income generated in deciding whether to reinvest profits into the segment or to use such profits for other purposes, such as for acquisitions or share repurchases. Consolidated net income (loss) is used to monitor budget versus actual results. The CODM also uses consolidated net income (loss) in competitive analyses by benchmarking to the Company’s competitors. The competitive analysis along with the monitoring of budget versus actual results are used in assessing performance of the segment, and in establishing management and variable compensation. The CODM also regularly reviews the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for segment expenses, of which the significant expenses are related to cost of revenues, exclusive of depreciation and amortization, and operating expenses. Since we operate as one reportable segment, all required segment financial information is found in the condensed consolidated financial statements.
OPTIMIZERX CORPORATION
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in thousands, excepts share and per share data, unaudited)
NOTE 1 – NATURE OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION (CONTINUED)
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid upon the transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and in the principal or most advantageous market for that asset or liability. The fair value should be calculated based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, not on assumptions specific to the entity. In addition, the fair value of liabilities should include consideration of non-performance risk including our own credit risk.
In addition to defining fair value, the disclosure requirements around fair value establish a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs, which is expanded. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three levels based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market. Each fair value measurement is reported in one of the three levels, which is determined by the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. These levels are:
Level 1 – Inputs are based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.
Level 2 – Inputs are based upon significant observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 – Inputs are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The fair values are therefore determined using model-based techniques that include option pricing models, discounted cash flow models, and similar techniques. The Company’s stock options and warrants are valued using Level 3 inputs.
The Company's carrying amounts of financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and other current liabilities, approximate their fair values due to their short maturities.
NOTE 2 – NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09 (“ASU 2023-09”), Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. ASU 2023-09 addresses investor requests for more transparency about income tax information through improvements to income tax disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. This update also includes certain other amendments to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures. The provisions of ASU 2023-09 are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2023-09.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03 (“ASU 2024-03”), Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40). ASU 2024-03 requires that public business entities disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to financial statements at interim and annual reporting periods. The prescribed categories include purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, intangible asset amortization, and depletion. This authoritative guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of this new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 3 – CASH, CASH EQUIVALENTS AND SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS
Cash equivalents include items almost as liquid as cash comprised of investments in AAA rated money market funds that invest in first-tier only securities, which primarily include domestic commercial paper and securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies. We account for marketable equity securities in accordance with ASC 321-10, “Investments - Equity Securities”, as the shares have a readily determinable fair value quoted on the national stock exchange and are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we have recorded $8,481 and $8,300, respectively, of money market funds at approximate fair value.

NOTE 4 – CAPITALIZED SOFTWARE COSTS
The Company capitalizes certain development costs incurred in connection with software development for internal-use software platforms used in operations and for providing services to our customers. Costs incurred in the preliminary stages of development are expensed as incurred. Once software has reached the development stage, internal and external costs, if direct, are capitalized until the software is substantially complete and ready for its intended use. Capitalization ceases upon completion of all substantial testing. The Company also capitalizes costs related to specific upgrades and enhancements when it is probable the expenditures will result in additional functionality. Capitalized internal use software development costs are included in intangible assets and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the software platforms and are included in depreciation and amortization within operating expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Amortization of capitalized internal use software expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was $73 and $164 and $71 and $141, respectively. The Company accumulates capitalizable costs related to current projects in a construction in process (“CIP”) software account, the balance of which was $411 and $320 at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

On October 11, 2023, the Company entered into a Financing Agreement (the “Financing Agreement”) which provided for a term loan (the “Term Loan”) of $40 million, the net proceeds of which were used to partially finance the Medicx Health transaction. In connection with the Term Loan the Company incurred issuance costs of approximately $2,270, which were capitalized and are being amortized to interest expense over the life of the Term Loan. Amortization of debt issuance costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was $437 and $611 and $182 and $365, respectively.
The Company’s obligations under the Term Loan are secured by all of the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ assets (including a pledge of all of the capital stock and equity interests of its subsidiaries).
The Term Loan is repayable in quarterly installments on the last business day of each fiscal quarter, beginning December 31, 2023, in an amount equivalent to 1.25%, of the original principal amount. The outstanding unpaid principal amount and all accrued but unpaid interest thereon, shall be due and payable on the earlier of (i) the fourth anniversary of the closing date of the Term Loan or (ii) the date on which the Term Loan is declared due and payable pursuant to the terms of the Financing Agreement.
The Company may prepay, subject to an Applicable Premium, 3% if the prepayment is made on a date that is up to and including the first anniversary of closing, 2%, if the prepayment is made up to and including the second anniversary, 1% if the prepayment is made up to and including the third anniversary and zero thereafter, all or a portion of the Term Loan and, under certain circumstances, including certain asset disposals and the raising of indebtedness not permitted under the Term Loan is required to make mandatory prepayments of the principal balance. If the prepayment occurs within 12 months of the date of the loan, the Company is also required to pay lost interest from the prepayment date to one year from the loan funding date.
In addition, the Company is required to make a mandatory prepayment on March 31, of each year, commencing with 2025, equivalent to Excess Cash Flow multiplied by a percentage factor of 25%, if the leverage ratio is 3.60 to 1.00 or less, 50% if the leverage ratio is greater than 3.60 to 1.00 or less than or equal; to 4.10 to 1.00 and 75%, if the leverage ratio is greater than 4.10 to 1.00. Excess Cash Flow is defined in the Financing Agreement as Consolidated EBITDA for the previous fiscal year less scheduled principal and interest payments, capital expenditure, cash taxes and any cash expenses/gains NOTE 5 - LONG-TERM DEBT (CONTINUED)

added back to net income in the calculation of Consolidated EBITDA, adjusted for any increase/decrease in working capital during the fiscal year.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company made total principal repayments of $4.5 million and $5.0 million and $0.5 million and $1.0 million, respectively.
At the Company’s option the Term Loan, or any portion thereof bears interest at either:
a.The greater of (a) 4.00% per annum, (b) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50% per annum, (c) the one month Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), plus an adjustment of 26.161 basis point and 1.00% per annum, and (d) the rate last quoted by The Wall Street Journal as the “Prime Rate”, plus an Applicable Margin of 7.5%; or
b.Three-month SOFR plus an adjustment of 26.161 basis points and an Applicable Margin of 8.5%
As of June 30, 2025, the Term Loan bears interest at 13.1%, with an effective interest rate of 19.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and an effective interest rate of 17.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2025, including the impact of the amortization of debt issuance costs.
The Term Loan requires the Company to maintain certain maximum leverage ratios and Liquidity (as defined in the Financing Agreement), of at least $5.0 million.
The Company was in compliance with its financial covenants as of June 30, 2025.
The Term Loan contains customary events of default, which include, (subject to, in certain circumstances to grace and cure periods), non-payment of principal and interest, non-compliance with certain covenants, commencement of bankruptcy proceedings and a change in control.
Payments due on the Term Loan in each of the next three years subsequent to June 30, 2025, are as follows:

NOTE 8 – STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
The Company sponsors two stock-based incentive compensation plans.
In June 2013, the Board approved and adopted, and the Company’s stockholders approved, the OptimizeRx Corporation 2013 Incentive Plan, which was subsequently amended and approved in 2016, 2018, 2019, and 2020 (the “2013 Incentive Plan”). The 2013 Incentive Plan, as amended, authorized the issuance of 3,000,000 shares of Company common stock. In connection with the adoption of a new incentive plan in 2021, the Company froze the 2013 Incentive Plan. A total of 184,345 shares of common stock underlying options and 4,000 shares of common stock underlying restricted stock unit awards were outstanding under the 2013 Incentive Plan at June 30, 2025. At June 30, 2025, there were no shares available for grant under the 2013 Incentive Plan.
In 2021, the Board approved and adopted the OptimizeRx Corporation 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2021 Incentive Plan”). The 2021 Incentive Plan was approved by stockholders in August 2021. On June 5, 2024, at the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the Company's stockholders approved an amendment to the 2021 Incentive Plan to increase the number of shares of common stock available for awards under the 2021 Incentive Plan by 1,950,000 shares for a total of 4,450,000 shares. A total of 1,598,154 shares of common stock underlying options and 667,482 shares of common stock underlying restricted stock unit awards were outstanding under the 2021 Incentive Plan at June 30, 2025. At June 30, 2025, 1,587,977 shares were available for grant under the 2021 Incentive Plan.
Stock Options
The compensation expense that has been charged against income related to options for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was $573 and $1,152 and $1,149 and $2,502, respectively. There is $3,027 of remaining expense related to unvested options to be recognized in the future over a weighted average period of 2.13 years. The total intrinsic value of outstanding options at June 30, 2025 was $6,446. The fair value of these instruments was calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
From time to time, the Company grants performance based stock options, the expense for which will be recorded over time once the achievement of the performance is deemed probable. There was $8 and $16 in expense related to these options recorded during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively. There was $8 in expense related to these options for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. The fair value of these instruments was calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
Restricted Stock Units
The Company recorded $915 and $1,894 and $1,753 and $3,424 in compensation expense related to restricted stock units for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. A total of $4,547 remains to be recognized at June 30, 2025 over a weighted average period of 1.78 years. The fair value of these instruments is based on the closing price of our common stock as reported on the Nasdaq Capital Market on the date of grant.

NOTE 8 – STOCK BASED COMPENSATION (CONTINUED)
Non-employee Directors Compensation
The director's compensation program calls for the grant of restricted stock units with a one year vesting period. There was $163 and $336 and $203 and $402 included in the compensation expense discussed above related to director's compensation for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Equity Award Modification
On April 16, 2023, the Compensation Committee approved a grant to the Company’s then CEO of 86,685 restricted stock units and 161,698 stock options with a grant date fair value of $2,500 to vest over a three year period. Concurrently, the then CEO forfeited his October 2021 grant of 182,398 market-based restricted stock units. The forfeiture and accompanying grant were considered an equity modification according to ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). The additional compensation value created by the termination and issuance of new equity awarded, as measured using a Monte Carlo simulation, was approximately $1,900 in total. Under ASC 718 this results in a non-cash expense in current and future periods to be recognized over a three-year period. These expense values are reflected and included in the option and restricted stock expense values discussed above. At December 31, 2024, the remaining expense of $1,556 related to the October 2021 grant of market-based restricted stock units was accelerated upon the departure of the CEO. The expense for unvested stock-options and restricted stock units related to the April 2023 grant was reversed upon their forfeiture at the departure of the CEO.
NOTE 9 – REVENUES
Under ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, recognition of revenue requires evidence of a contract, probable collection of proceeds, and completion of substantially all performance obligations. We use a 5-step model to recognize revenue. These steps are: identify the contract with a customer, identify the performance obligations in the contract, determine the transaction price, allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and recognize revenue when or as the performance obligations are satisfied.
Revenues are primarily generated from content delivery activities in which the Company delivers financial, clinical, or brand messaging through a distribution network of ePrescribers and electronic health record technology providers (channel partners), directly to consumers, or from reselling services that complement the business. This content delivery for a customer is referred to as a program. Unless otherwise specified, revenue is recognized based on the selling price to customers. The Company also generates revenue through data subscriptions. Data subscriptions can be contracted on a stand-alone basis or as a complement to content delivery. Additional services include set up, and reporting. We consider these services to be complimentary to the primary performance obligation and recognized through performance of delivery of content or data.
We have certain contracts which are satisfied at a point in time, primarily for consulting projects or NPI data target lists. For such contracts, we recognize revenue upon delivery of the related data, study or report.
The Company’s contracts are generally all less than one year and the primary performance obligation is delivery of messages, or our forms of content, but the contract may contain additional services. The net contract balance for contracts in progress at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, was $41,013 and $4,288, respectively. The outstanding performance obligations are expected to be satisfied during the year ending December 31, 2025.
In certain circumstances, the Company will offer sales rebates to customers based on spend volume. Rebates are typically contracted based on a quarterly or annual spend amount based on a volume threshold or tiered model. At the beginning of the year, the rebate percentage is estimated based on input from the sales team and analysis of prior year sales. Thereafter, the open contract balance for the customer is assessed quarterly to ensure the estimated rebate percentage being used for the rebate accrual remains reasonable. The estimated amount of variable consideration will be included in the transaction price only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. For the year ended

NOTE 9 – REVENUES (CONTINUED)
December 31, 2024 and during the first six months of 2025, there were two contracts with customers that included a rebate clause.
As the content is distributed through the platform and network of channel partners (a transaction), these transactions are recorded, and revenue is recognized over time as the distributions occur. Revenue for transactions can be realized based on a price per message, a price per redemption, as a flat fee occurring over a period of time, or upon completion of the program, depending on the client contract. The Company recognizes setup fees that are required for integrating client offerings and campaigns into the rule-based content delivery system and network over the life of the initial program, based either on time, or units delivered, depending upon which is most appropriate in the specific contract. Should a program be cancelled before completion, the balance of set up revenue is recognized at the time of cancellation, as set up fees are nonrefundable. Additionally, the Company also recognizes revenue for providing program performance reporting and maintenance. This reporting revenue is recognized over time as the messages are delivered. Program design, which is the design of the content delivery program, and related consulting services are recognized as services are performed.
In some instances, we license certain of our software applications in arrangements that do not include other performance obligations. In those instances, we record license revenue when the software is delivered for use to the licensee. In instances where our contracts included Software as a Service, the revenue is recognized over the subscription period as services are delivered to the customer.
In some instances, the Company also resells messaging solutions that are available through channel partners that are complementary to the HCP marketing business and customer base. These partner specific solutions are frequently similar to our own solutions and revenue recognition for these programs is the same as described above. In instances where the Company sells solutions on a commission basis, net revenue is recognized based on the commission-based revenue split that the Company receives. In instances where the Company resells these messaging solutions and has all financial risk and significant operation input and risk, the Company records the revenue based on the gross amount sold and the amount paid to the channel partner as a cost of sales. The amount of revenue recognized as an agent on a net basis was $6,325 and $5,602 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
The Company has several signed contracts with customers for the distribution of messaging, or other services, which include payment in advance. The payments are not recorded as revenue until the revenue is earned under its revenue recognition policy. Deferred revenue was $484 and $473 as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The contracts are all short term in nature and all revenue is expected to be recognized within 12 months, or less.

Accounts receivable are reported at realizable value, net of allowances for credit losses, which is estimated and recorded in the period the related revenue is recorded. The Company does not seek collateral to secure its accounts receivable and amounts billed are generally due within a short period of time based on terms and conditions normal for our industry. The Company has a standardized approach to estimate and review the collectability of its receivables based on a number of factors, including the period they have been outstanding. Historical collection and payer reimbursement experience is an integral part of the estimation process related to allowances for credit losses. In addition, the Company regularly assesses the state of its billing operations in order to identify issues, which may impact the collectability of these receivables or reserve estimates. If current or expected future economic trends, events, or changes in circumstances indicate that specific receivable balances may be impaired, further consideration is given to the collectability of those balances and the allowance is adjusted accordingly. Past-due receivable balances are written off when the Company’s collection efforts have been exhausted.
The following is a summary of changes in the allowance for credit losses for the six months ended June 30,:

From time to time, we may record revenue based on our revenue recognition policies in advance of being able to invoice the customer, or we may invoice the customer prior to being able to recognize the revenue. Included in accounts receivable are unbilled amounts of $3,483 and $3,241 at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Amounts billed in advance of revenue recognition are presented as deferred revenue on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
NOTE 10 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Related party transactions include transactions between the Company and its stockholders, management, or affiliates. The following transactions were in the normal course of operations and were measured and recorded at the exchange amount, which is the amount of consideration established and agreed to by the parties.
During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company acquired the technical contributions and assignment of all exclusive rights to and for a key patent in process at the time from a former CEO, in exchange for a total payment in shares of common stock and options valued at $930 at the time of the acquisition and recorded the patent at that cost. That patent remains in Patents Rights on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
Jim Lang, one of our Board Members, is the CEO of Eversana, a leading global provider of services to the life sciences industry. Eversana is similar to other customers from which we generate revenue, such as agencies or resellers. During the NOTE 10 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS (CONTINUED)

three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, we have recognized $243 and $485 and none and $72, respectively, in revenue from contracts engaged with Eversana. These contracts were sourced by Eversana on behalf of life science customers of theirs. The contracts are at market rates and were generated in the normal course of business.
NOTE 11 – INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
The number of shares related to options and restricted stock units included in diluted EPS is based on the “Treasury Stock Method” prescribed in ASC 260-10, Earnings per Share. This method assumes the theoretical repurchase of shares using proceeds of the respective stock options exercised, and for restricted stock units, the amount of compensation cost attributed to future services which have not yet been recognized, and the amount of current and deferred tax benefit, if any, that would be credited to additional paid in capital upon the vesting of the restricted stock units, at a price equal to the issuer’s average stock price during the related earnings period. Accordingly, the number of shares that could be included in the calculation of EPS in respect of the stock options and restricted stock units is dependent on this average stock price and will increase as the average stock price increases.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share.

OPTIMIZERX CORPORATION
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in thousands, excepts share and per share data, unaudited)
NOTE 12 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Litigation
From time to time, the Company may become involved in legal proceedings or be subject to claims arising in the ordinary course of our business. We are currently not a party to any material legal or administrative proceedings, and we are not aware of any pending or threatened material legal or administrative proceedings against us.
Commitments
From time to time, the Company enters into arrangements with partners to acquire minimum amounts of media, data or messaging capabilities. As of June 30, 2025, the Company had commitments for future minimum payments of $13,071 that will be reflected in cost of revenues during the years from 2025 through 2029. Minimum payments are due in the remainder of 2025 and fiscal 2026 and 2027 in the amounts of $7,613, $3,833 and $1,625, respectively.
NOTE 13 – INCOME TAXES
The Company reported a provision for income taxes of $181 and a benefit from income taxes of $904, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, representing an effective tax rate of 10.6% and 57.5%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 reflects the impact of certain permanent items and discrete items for the quarter related to projected decreases in our valuation allowance and to stock based compensation. There was no provision for or benefit from taxes in the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 in the jurisdictions of Croatia and Israel, as the Company carried a full valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets due to our history of losses.
The Company reported a benefit from income taxes of $1,088 and $744 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, representing an effective tax rate of 21.4% and 6.4%. The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 reflects the impact of certain permanent items, projected increases in our valuation allowance during the year and discrete items for the quarter related to stock based compensation.
The Company recognizes deferred tax assets to the extent it believes these assets are more-likely-than-not to be realized. In making such a determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent results of operations. On the basis of this evaluation, as of the quarter ended March 31, 2025, the valuation allowance has been reduced to $2,900 to recognize only the portion of the deferred tax asset that is more likely than not to be realized. The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable, however, could be adjusted if estimates of future taxable income during the carryforward period are reduced or increased or if objective negative evidence in the form of cumulative losses is no longer present and additional weight is given to subjective evidence such as our projections for growth.
As discussed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, we had net operating loss carry-forwards for federal income tax purposes of approximately $11,600 as of December 31, 2024.
NOTE 14 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Subsequent to the end of the second quarter of 2025, on July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was signed into law, extending key provisions of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act including, but not limited to, the restoration of 100% bonus depreciation, the introduction of new Section 174A permitting immediate expensing of domestic research and experimental expenditures, modifications to Section 163(j) interest expense limitations, updates to the rules governing global intangible low-taxed income, amendments to energy credit provisions, and the expansion of Section 162(m) aggregation requirements. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the OBBBA and an estimate of the impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements is not yet available.
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains statements that relate to future events and expectations and, as such, constitute forward-looking statements, within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Certain statements, other than purely historical information, including estimates, projections, statements relating to our strategies, outlook, business and financial prospects, business plans, objectives, and expected operating results, and the assumptions upon which those statements are based, are “forward-looking statements.” These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “believes,” “project,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “intends,” “strategy,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions.
Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties which may cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. Although OptimizeRx believes that the expectations reflected in any forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, these expectations may not be attained and it is possible that actual results may differ materially from those indicated by these forward-looking statements due to a variety of risks, uncertainties and changes in circumstances, many of which are beyond OptimizeRx’s control.
Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those expressed in or implied by such forward-looking statements due to a variety of factors, including: our history of losses, seasonal trends in the pharmaceutical brand marketing industry; the inability to support our technology and scale our operations successfully, developing and implementing new and updated applications, features and services for our solutions may be more difficult and expensive and take longer than expected; the inability to offer high-quality customer support for our solutions; dependence on a concentrated group of customers; inability to maintain contracts with electronic prescription platforms and electronic health record systems, agreements with electronic prescription platforms and electronic health record systems being subject to audit; inability to attract and retain customers; inability to comply with laws and regulations that affect the healthcare industry; competition; developments in the healthcare industry; inability to manage growth; inability to identify suitable acquisition targets, complete acquisitions, or integrate acquisitions successfully; acquisition activities may disrupt ongoing business and may involve increased expenses; inability to realize the financial and strategic goals contemplated at the time of a transaction; inability to realize any synergies or other anticipated benefits of an acquisition or that such synergies or benefits may take longer than anticipated to be realized; risk that the integration with an acquired entity may be more costly or difficult than expected; impairment charges for goodwill or other long-lived assets may need to be recognized or increased if we lose a major customer, experience a decline in our common stock price, or experience changes to the regulatory environment affecting pharmaceutical advertising restricting the use of our technology; inability to comply with the restrictions in our credit agreement; inability to generate sufficient cash to service debt and fund other obligations; inability to raise capital to grow business on favorable terms or at all; inability to attract and retain senior management and other key employees; economic, political, regulatory and other risks arising from our international operations; inability to protect our intellectual property; cybersecurity incidents; reduction in the performance, reliability and availability of our network infrastructure; increases in costs due to inflation and other adverse economic conditions; decreases in customer demand due to macroeconomic factors; lack of a consistent active trading market for our common stock; volatility in the market price of our common stock; and the failure to remediate the identified material weakness or any other material weaknesses identified in the future.
The risks and uncertainties included here are not exhaustive. Further information concerning our business, including additional factors that could materially affect our financial results, is included herein and in our other filings with the SEC, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. Moreover, we operate in a rapidly changing and competitive environment. New risk factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for management to predict all such risk factors.
Further, it is not possible to assess the effect of all risk factors on our businesses or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Given these risks and uncertainties, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results. In addition, we disclaim any obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that occur after the date of this report.
Overview
OptimizeRx is a digital healthcare technology company that connects over two million HCPs and millions of their patients through an intelligent technology platform embedded within a proprietary omnichannel network. OptimizeRx helps life sciences organizations engage and support their customers through our combined HCP and DTC marketing strategies.
OptimizeRx has historically generated revenue by delivering messages to HCPs via their EHR systems and eRx platforms using our proprietary network of channel partners. We have gradually expanded our offerings to include audience development, audience creation, and media execution across different messaging types and media distribution channels.
Overall, we employ a “land and expand” strategy focused on growing our existing customer base and generating greater and more consistent revenues in part through a continued shift in our business model toward enterprise level engagements, while also broadening our platform with innovative proprietary virtual communication solutions such as our patented Micro-Neighborhood Targeting and our AI-powered Dynamic Audience Activation Platform (“DAAP”), which uses sophisticated machine-learning algorithms to find the best audiences in the correct channels at the right time.
Our strategy for driving revenue growth is also expected to work in tandem with our efforts to increase margin and profitability as revenue drivers such as DAAP have inherently higher margins than most other messaging solutions we offer. In addition, by aiming to transition our DAAP customers to a more predictable subscription-based model for data services, we believe will further improve margins, increase visibility, and enhance the overall predictability of our revenue streams over time.
Customer Concentration
Because the pharmaceutical industry is dominated by large companies with multiple brands, our revenue is concentrated in a relatively small number of companies. We have approximately 100 pharmaceutical companies as customers, and our revenues are concentrated among the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world. Loss of one or more of our larger customers could have a negative impact on our operating results. Our top five customers represented approximately 49% and 44% of our revenue for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. In 2024 and 2023, we had two customers and one customer, respectively, that represented more than 10% of our revenues.
Seasonality
In general, the pharmaceutical brand marketing industry spends its advertising budget seasonally. Many pharmaceutical companies allocate the largest portion of their brand marketing to the fourth quarter of the calendar year. As a result, the first quarter tends to reflect lower activity levels and lower revenue, with gradual increases in the following quarters. We expect these seasonality trends to continue and our ability to effectively manage our resources in anticipation of these trends may affect our operating results.
Impact of Macroeconomic Events
Unfavorable conditions in the economy may negatively affect the growth of our business and our results of operations. For example, macroeconomic events including rising inflation and interest rates have led to economic uncertainty in the recent past, and threats of multinational tariffs and retaliatory tariffs provide uncertainty as to heightened inflation in the domestic markets. In addition, high levels of employee turnover across the pharmaceutical industry as well as a fewer number of U.S. drug approvals could create additional uncertainty within our target customer markets. Historically, during periods of economic uncertainty and downturns, businesses may slow spending, which may impact our business and our customers’ businesses. Adverse changes in demand could impact our business, collection of accounts receivable and our expected cash flow generation, which may adversely impact our financial condition and results of operations.
Key Performance Indicators
We monitor the following key performance indicators to help us evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business and make strategic decisions. We have updated the definition of “top 20 pharmaceutical manufacturers” in our key performance indicators to be based upon Fierce Pharma's most updated list of “The top 20 pharma companies by 2024 revenue”. We previously used “The top 20 pharma companies by 2023 revenue”. As a result of this change, prior periods have been restated for comparative purposes.
Average revenue per top 20 pharmaceutical manufacturer. Average revenue per top 20 pharmaceutical manufacturer is calculated by taking the total revenue the Company recognized through pharmaceutical manufacturers listed in Fierce Pharma’s “The top 20 pharma companies by 2024 revenue” over the last twelve months, divided by 20, representing the aforementioned pharmaceutical manufacturers highlighted on that list. The Company uses this metric to monitor its progress in “landing and expanding” with key customers within its largest customer vertical and believe it also provides investors with a transparent way to chart our progress in penetrating this important customer segment. The increase in the average in the twelve months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the twelve months ended June 30, 2024 is primarily the result of stronger DTC and DAAP related revenue streams (in thousands).

Percent of total revenue attributable to top 20 pharmaceutical manufacturers. Percent of total revenue attributable to top 20 pharmaceutical manufacturers is calculated by taking the total revenue the company recognized through pharmaceutical manufacturers listed in Fierce Pharma’s “The top 20 pharma companies by 2024 revenue” over the last twelve months, divided by our consolidated revenue over the same period. The Company uses this metric to monitor its progress in “landing and expanding” with key customers within its largest customer vertical and believes it also provides investors with a transparent way to chart our progress in penetrating this important customer segment. This decrease in our total revenue attributable to top 20 pharmaceutical manufacturers, in conjunction with the increase in average revenue per top 20 pharmaceutical manufacturer discussed above, is reflective of the onboarding and growth of other customers that are not top 20 pharmaceutical manufacturers and not a decrease in our activity with top 20 pharmaceutical manufacturers.

Net revenue retention. Net revenue retention is a comparison of revenue generated from all customers in the previous twelve-month period to total revenue generated from the same customers in the following twelve-month period (i.e., excludes new customer relationships for the most recent twelve-month period). The Company uses this metric to monitor its ability to improve its penetration with existing customers and believes it also provides investors with a metric to chart our ability to increase our year-over-year penetration and revenue with existing customers. Net revenue for the period ending June 30, 2024 benefited from the timing of the Medicx Health acquisition, which was consummated on October 12, 2023, as its comparator period (the trailing twelve months ended June 30, 2023) did not have any Medicx Health related revenue. The period ended June 30, 2025 did not have the same magnitude of inorganic benefit from the Medicx Health acquisition; however, the Company still retained a 121% net revenue retention in the period as a result of strong organic growth from existing customers.

Revenue per average full-time employee. We define revenue per average full-time employee (“FTE”), as total revenue over the last twelve months divided by the average number of employees over the last twelve months (i.e., the average between the number of FTEs at the end of the reported period and the number of FTEs at the end of the same period of the prior year). The Company uses this metric to monitor the productivity of its workforce and its ability to scale efficiently over time and believes the metric provides investors with a way to chart our productivity and scalability. Our revenue rate per employee increased year over year due to revenue growing at a higher rate than the average number of FTEs over the last 12 month period (in thousands).

Net Revenues
Our net revenue increased 55% to $29,195 for the three months ended June 30, 2025 from $18,812 from the same period in 2024. Our net revenue increased 33% to $51,123 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 from $38,502 from the same period in 2024. The increase in net revenue was a result of the growth of DTC and DAAP related sales.
Cost of Revenues
Our cost of revenues, composed primarily of revenue-share expense paid to our channel partners, increased for the three months ended June 30, 2025 to $10,560 compared to $7,108 for the same period of 2024. Our cost of revenues as a percentage of revenue decreased to approximately 36% for the three months ended June 30, 2025 from approximately 38% for the three months ended June 30, 2024. Our cost of revenues increased for the six months ended June 30, 2025 to $19,144 compared to $14,595 for the six months ended June 30, 2024.
Our cost of revenues as a percentage of revenue decreased to approximately 37% for the six months ended June 30, 2025 from approximately 38% for the six months ended June 30, 2024. This improvement in cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues was primarily a result of solution and channel partner mix.

Our gross margin, which is the difference between our revenues and our cost of revenues, divided by our revenues, increased for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same periods of 2024, primarily due to product and channel partner mix. Further, the increase in revenue year over year diluted the effect of certain fixed cost of sales on gross margin.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses remained consistent, slightly decreasing to $15,446 for the three months ended June 30, 2025 from $15,453 for the same period in 2024. For six months ended June 30, 2025, operating expenses decreased to $30,904 from $32,685 for the six months ended June 30, 2024, a decrease of approximately 5%. The detail by major category is reflected in the table below (in thousands).

Stock-based compensation decreased to $1,488 for the three months ended June 30, 2025 from $2,903 for the three months ended June 30, 2024, and decreased to $3,046 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 from $5,926 for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease in both periods was a result of the lower grant date fair value of awards due to declines in the Company’s stock price as well as a decrease in the quantity of awards granted. Further, the prior year expense included significant costs associated with grants to the prior CEO which were forfeited as of December 31, 2024.
Depreciation and amortization increased to $1,074 for the three months ended June 30, 2025 from $1,073 for the three months ended June 30, 2024, and increased to $2,168 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 from $2,140 for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in both periods was a result of the additional amortization associated with capitalized labor for internal software development.
Other general and administrative expenses increased to $12,884 for the three months ended June 30, 2025 from $11,477 for the three months ended June 30, 2024, and increased to $25,690 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 from $24,619 for the six months ended June 30, 2024. This increase in both periods is primarily a result of an increase in compensation expense. The increase reflects higher variable compensation tied to sales achievement and performance-based incentive plans aligned with our operating results. These increases were partially offset by cost savings realized across various expense categories as a result of ongoing efficiency initiatives.
Other income (expense)
Interest expense increased to $1,603 for the three months ended June 30, 2025 from $1,528 for the three months ended June 30, 2024, and decreased to $2,899 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 from $3,074 for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Interest expense represents interest charges on our Term Loan, together with the amortization of the related issuance costs. The increase is primarily a result of the higher effective interest rate due to the voluntary prepayments of principal on the Term Loan resulting in an interest penalty for the three months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease is primarily a result of the decrease in the interest rate on the Term Loan and a lower average principal balance for the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024 Interest income decreased to $90 for the three months ended June 30, 2025 from $106 for the three months ended June 30, 2024, and increased to $177 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 from $125 for the six months ended June 30, 2024.
The variability in interest income is a result in the fluctuation of interest rates as the balance in the Company's money market account has remained consistent.
Income tax benefit (expense)
Income tax expense was $181, or an effective rate of 10.6%, and income tax benefit was $904, or an effective rate of (57.5)% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively. Income tax benefit was approximately $1,088, or an effective rate of 21.4%, and $744, or an effective rate of 6.4% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. For further information, see Part I, Item I. Financial Statements; Note 13 — Income Taxes in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Net income (loss)
We had a net income of approximately $1,532 for the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to a net loss of approximately $(4,008) during the three months ended June 30, 2024 and a net loss of approximately $(667) for the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to $(10,908) for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The reasons and specific components associated with the change are discussed above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Historically, our primary sources of liquidity have been cash receipts from customers and proceeds from equity offerings. In addition, on October 11, 2023, the Company entered into a Term Loan of $40,000 in order to partially fund the acquisition of Medicx Health. As of June 30, 2025, the total principal balance outstanding on the Term Loan was approximately $29,290 and we were in compliance with all of the financial covenants of the Term Loan.
As of June 30, 2025, we had total current assets of approximately $54,080, compared with current liabilities of approximately $21,057, resulting in working capital of approximately $33,023 and a current ratio of approximately 2.6 to 1. This represents a decrease from our working capital of approximately $35,317 and an increase from the current ratio of 3.0 to 1 at December 31, 2024.
We believe that funds generated from operations, together with existing cash, will be sufficient to finance our current operations and meet our obligations under the Term Loan for the next twelve (12) months. In addition, we believe we can generate the cash needed to operate beyond the next 12 months from operations. However, we may seek additional debt, equity financing, or lines of credit to supplement cash from operations to fund acquisitions or strategic partner relationships, make capital expenditures, and satisfy working capital needs. We currently have an effective shelf registration statement, which allows us to issue, from time to time, up to $75,000,000 of any combination of our common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, warrants, or units.
Cash Flows

Our operating activities provided $8,425 during the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared with $2,900 in the same period in 2024. The net increase in net cash provided by operating activities was mainly attributable to a $10,241 decrease in net loss.
This was partially offset by a $2,880 decrease in noncash expense related to stock based compensation, a $926 decrease in cash flows from accounts payable and a $870 decrease in cash flows from deferred revenue.
Investing activities used $128 during the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared with $238 in the same period in 2024. The decrease in net cash used in investing activities was mainly attributed to a decrease in capitalization of internally developed software.
Financing activities used $5,092 during the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared with $1,555 in the same period in 2024. The increase in net cash used for financing activities was primarily related to the increase in repayments of long-term debt partially offset by a decrease in payments of withholding taxes on behalf of employees vesting in restricted stock units.
Critical Accounting Estimates
We prepare our condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The preparation of these financial statements requires the use of estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions. The following areas all require the use of subjective or complex judgments, estimates or assumptions: the allowance for credit losses, carrying value of assets, fair values assigned to acquired long-lived assets, depreciable and amortizable lives of tangible and intangible assets, the carrying value of liabilities, the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, the timing of revenue recognition and related revenue-share expenses, and inputs used in the calculation of stock-based compensation.
Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 (2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K). The accounting policies we used in preparing these financial statements are substantially consistent with those we applied in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Our critical accounting estimates are described in Management’s Discussion and Analysis included in the 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2023-09 (“ASU 2023-09”), Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. ASU 2023-09 addresses investor requests for more transparency about income tax information through improvements to income tax disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. This update also includes certain other amendments to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures. The provisions of ASU 2023-09 are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2023-09.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03 (“ASU 2024-03”), Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40). ASU 2024-03 requires that public business entities disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to financial statements at interim and annual reporting periods. The prescribed categories include purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, intangible asset amortization, and depletion. This authoritative guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of this new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
From time to time, the Company enters into arrangements with channel partners to acquire minimum amounts of media, data or messaging capabilities. As of June 30, 2025, the Company had commitments with channel partners for future minimum payments of $13,071 that will be reflected in cost of revenues during the remainder of 2025 and years from 2026 through 2029. See Part I, Item 2. Financial Statements; Note 12 – Commitments and Contingencies.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Not applicable.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation, as of the end of the period covered by this report, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e). Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e), were not effective at the reasonable assurance level due to a previously identified material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting related to controls to ensure that data received from third-party service organizations were complete and accurate.
To address the material weakness referenced above, the Company performed additional analysis and performed other procedures to prepare the condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP. Accordingly, management believes that the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this quarterly report on this Form 10-Q fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
Ongoing Remediation of Previously Identified Material Weakness
As previously disclosed, a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting was identified which related to controls to ensure that data received from third-party service organizations were complete and accurate.
Management, with oversight from the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors, is committed to remediating the material weakness that has been identified and maintaining an effective system of disclosure controls and procedures. These remediation efforts, summarized below, are intended to both address the identified material weakness and to enhance our overall financial control environment. Management is in the process of fully implementing process and control improvements to remediate the above material weakness previously identified as follows:
a.The Company requires each third-party service organization to provide us, at least annually, a SOC-1, Type 2 audit report, with adequate controls to ensure the data received are complete and accurate. Management relies upon a SOC-1, Type 2 audit report from the service organizations attesting to the vendor’s internal controls.
b.If a SOC-1, Type 2 audit report is not available, the Company evaluates each third-party’s relevant system(s) and control environment reporting directly through inquiry and substantive testing of such third-party’s control environment to ensure the data received are complete and accurate.
c.If the Company is unable to obtain a valid SOC-1, Type 2 audit report or perform substantive testing of such third-party’s control environment, the Company implements a thirty-party qualification and program triaging process, which could include modifying customer contracts, limiting the volume of activity with those third-parties, and establishing other controls to ensure the completeness and accuracy of information received from those third-parties, such as performing tagging procedures where possible.
To further execute on its remediation efforts of the material weakness, management took the following additional steps:
a. Hired a Senior Vice President of Internal Controls and engaged a highly regarded third-party consulting firm.
b. Developed an audit process and framework to assess whether data received from third-party service organizations were complete and accurate.
The material weakness will be considered remediated when management concludes through testing, the applicable remediated controls are designed and implemented effectively.
When fully implemented and operational, the Company believes the measures described above will remediate the identified material weakness and strengthen the internal controls over financial reporting. The material weakness will not be considered remediated until the newly implemented internal controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, the internal controls are operating effectively. The Company is working to have the material weakness remediated as soon as possible.
The Company is committed to continuing to improve the internal control processes and will continue to review and assess financial reporting controls and procedures on an ongoing basis. As the Company continues to evaluate and improve the internal controls over financial reporting, management may determine whether it is appropriate or necessary to take additional measures.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Except as noted above, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act), that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2025 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. The Company conducts periodic evaluations of its internal controls to enhance, where necessary, its procedures and controls.
PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
From time to time, we may become involved in legal proceedings or be subject to claims arising in the ordinary course of our business. We are currently not a party to any material legal or administrative proceedings, and we are not aware of any pending or threatened material legal or administrative proceedings against us.
Item 1A: Risk Factors
There have been no material changes in our risk factors from the risks previously reported in PART 1, ITEM 1A, “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. You should carefully consider the factors discussed in PART I, ITEM 1A, “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks we face.

The actual number of shares sold may be less based on tax withholdings.
During the second quarter ended June 30, 2025, none of our directors or executive officers terminated any Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement and there were no non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangements entered into or terminated by our directors or officers.

Section 2.5 Waiver of Notice. Notice of any annual or special meeting may be waived either before, at or after such meeting by a signed writing by the person or persons entitled to the notice or by any other method permitted by Nevada law. Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the person attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting at the beginning of the meeting to the transacting of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.
Section 2.6 Determination of Stockholders of Record.
(a) For the purpose of determining the stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment or postponement thereof, the Board may fix, in advance, a record date, which shall not be more than sixty (60) days nor less than ten (10) days before the date of such meeting. If no record date is fixed, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be the close of business on the day before the day the first notice of the meeting is given or, if notice is waived, the close of business on the day before the day the meeting is held. For the purposes of these Bylaws, “close of business” shall mean 5:00 p.m., local time, at the principal executive offices of the Corporation on any calendar day, whether or not such day is a business day. For purposes of these Bylaws, “business day” shall mean any day that is not a Saturday, Sunday, or other day on which the Federal Reserve Bank of New York is closed.
(b) A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment or postponement of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board may fix a new record date for the adjourned or postponed
meeting and must fix a new record date if the meeting is adjourned or postponed to a date more than sixty (60) days later than the meeting date set for the first convened meeting.
Section 2.7 Quorum; Adjourned Meetings.
(a) Except as otherwise provided by the NRS, other applicable law, or the Articles of Incorporation, the holders of shares representing at least a majority of the voting power of the Corporation’s capital stock, present in person or by proxy (regardless of whether the proxy has authority to vote on any matter), shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at any annual or special meeting. If any class or series of shares is permitted or required to vote separately on any action, the holders of at least a majority of the voting power, present in person or by proxy (regardless of whether the proxy has authority to vote on any matter), of such class or series is necessary to constitute a quorum of such class or series. If a quorum is present, the stockholders may continue to transact business until adjournment notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough stockholders to leave less than a quorum.
(b) If a quorum is not present, a majority of the voting power represented in person or by proxy at the meeting may adjourn the meeting from time to time until a quorum shall be present. Notice of any adjourned meeting need not be given if the time and place thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. However, if a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, notice of the adjourned meeting must be given to each stockholder of record as of the new record date. At adjourned meetings at which a quorum is present, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally noticed.
Section 2.8 Proxies. Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders may authorize a proxy to represent him or her at the meeting by an instrument executed in writing. Each such proxy shall be valid until its expiration or revocation in a manner permitted by the laws of the State of Nevada. A proxy may be irrevocable if it states that it is irrevocable and, if, and only as long as, it is coupled with an interest sufficient to support an irrevocable power. Subject to the above, any proxy may be revoked if an instrument or transmission revoking it or a properly created proxy bearing a later date is filed with or transmitted to the secretary or another person appointed by the Corporation to count the votes of stockholders and determine the validity of proxies and ballots, or, in the case of a meeting of stockholders, the stockholder revokes the proxy by attending the meeting and voting the stockholder’s shares in person, in which case, any vote cast by the person or persons designated by the stockholder to act as a proxy or proxies must be disregarded by the Corporation when the votes are counted. Any stockholder directly or indirectly soliciting proxies from other stockholders must use a proxy card color other than white, which shall be reserved exclusively for solicitations conducted by the Corporation and/or the Board.
Section 2.9 Voting.
(a) Each outstanding share of stock, regardless of class or series, shall be entitled to one (1) vote on each matter submitted to a vote at a meeting of stockholders, except to the extent that the
Articles of Incorporation or the certificate of designation establishing the class or series of stock provides for more or less than one (1) vote per share or limits or denies voting rights to the holders of the shares of any class or series of stock.
(b) If a quorum is present, unless the Articles of Incorporation, these Bylaws, the rules or regulations of any stock exchange applicable to the Corporation, or applicable law provide for a different proportion, action by the stockholders entitled to vote on a matter, other than the election of directors, is approved by and is the act of the stockholders if the number of votes cast in favor of the action exceeds the number of votes cast in opposition to the action.
(c) If a quorum is present, unless otherwise provided by the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws, directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes cast.
Section 2.10 No Action Without a Meeting. No action of the stockholders shall be taken by either unanimous consent or partial written consent in lieu of a meeting. No action shall be taken by the stockholders except at an annual or special meeting of the stockholders called and noticed in the manner required by these Bylaws. Any purported action taken in violation of this Section 2.10 shall be null, void, and of no legal effect.
Section 2.11 Organization and Conduct of Meetings.
(a) Meetings of the stockholders shall be presided over, and called to order, by the Chairperson, or, in the absence of the Chairperson, the chief executive officer, if any, or, in the absence of the chief executive officer, by the president, or, in the absence of the foregoing persons, by a chairperson designated by the Board, or, in the absence of such designation by the Board, by a chairperson chosen at the meeting by the stockholders entitled to cast a majority of the votes which all stockholders present in person or by proxy are entitled to cast. The secretary, or in the absence of the secretary an assistant secretary, shall act as secretary of the meeting, but in the absence of the secretary and any assistant secretary the chairperson of the meeting may appoint any person to act as secretary of the meeting.

No inspector, whether appointed by the Board or by the person acting as chairperson of the meeting, need be a stockholder of the Corporation. Unless and to the extent determined by the Board or the chair of the meeting, meetings of stockholders shall not be required to be held in accordance with the rules of parliamentary procedure.
Section 2.12 Conduct of Business at a Stockholders’ Meeting.
(a) Annual Meetings of Stockholders.

In order for any business to be brought before a special meeting pursuant to a stockholder request pursuant to Section 2.2 of these Bylaws, such business must (A) be a proper subject to be proposed and voted upon by stockholders of the Corporation under these Bylaws, the Articles of Incorporation, the NRS, and other applicable law, and (B) not relate to a matter that is expressly reserved for

Except as otherwise provided by these Bylaws, the Articles of Incorporation, the NRS, or other applicable law, the chairperson of any annual or special meeting shall have the power to determine, in consultation with counsel (who may be the Corporation’s internal counsel), whether a nomination or any other business proposed to be brought before the meeting was made or proposed, as the case may be, in accordance with these Bylaws, including, without limitation, whether any proposing stockholder breached, or took any action contrary to, any of the representations, undertakings, or commitments made in the stockholder’s notice it delivered to the Corporation or any of the documents submitted in connection therewith, and, if it is determined that any proposed nomination was not made, or other business was not proposed, in compliance with these Bylaws, to declare that no action shall be taken on such proposed nomination or other business and such proposed nomination or other business shall be disregarded notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such proposed nomination or other business may have been received by the Corporation.
Section 2.13. Advance Notice of Stockholder Business and Nominations.
(a) Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Without qualification or limitation, subject to Section 2.13(c)(9) of these Bylaws, for any nominations or any other business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder pursuant to Section 2.12(a) of these Bylaws, the stockholder must have given timely and proper notice thereof (including, in the case of nominations, the completed and signed questionnaire, representation, and agreement required by Section 2.14 of these Bylaws), and timely updates and supplements thereof, in each case in proper form, in writing to the secretary, must have complied with the Exchange Act, including, without limitation, Rule 14a-19 promulgated thereunder, and such other business must otherwise (A) be a proper subject to be proposed and voted upon by stockholders of the Corporation under these Bylaws, the Articles of Incorporation, the NRS, and other applicable law, and (B) not relate
to a matter that is expressly reserved for action by the Board under these Bylaws, the Articles of Incorporation, the NRS, or other applicable law.
To be timely, a stockholder’s notice shall be delivered to the secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not earlier than the close of business on the 120th day and not later than the close of business on the 90th day prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event that the date of the annual meeting is more than thirty (30) days before or more than sixty (60) days after such anniversary date or, if the Corporation did not hold an annual meeting in the preceding year, notice by the stockholder must be so delivered not earlier than the close of business on the 120th day prior to the date of such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to the date of such annual meeting or, if the first public announcement of the date of such annual meeting is less than one hundred (100) days prior to the date of such annual meeting, the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made by the Corporation (such deadline for the delivery of a stockholder’s notice being hereinafter referred to as the “Stockholder Notice Deadline”). In no event shall any adjournment, recess, or postponement of an annual meeting or the public announcement or other disclosure thereof commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described above.
Notwithstanding anything in the immediately preceding paragraph to the contrary, in the event that the number of directors to be elected to the Board at the next annual meeting is increased by the Board, and there is no public announcement by the Corporation of such action specifying the size of the increased Board at least one hundred (100) days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting or, if the Corporation did not hold an annual meeting in the preceding year, at least one hundred (100) days prior to the date of the current year’s annual meeting, a stockholder’s notice required by this Section 2.13(a) shall also be considered timely with respect to the next annual meeting, but only with respect to nominees for any new director positions created by such increase, and only with respect to a stockholder who, prior to the Stockholder Notice Deadline, submits to the Corporation a timely and proper stockholder’s notice proposing nominees for election to the Board at such annual meeting in compliance with this Section 2.13(a) in all applicable respects, if it shall be delivered to the secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than the close of business on the tenth (10th) day following the day on which such public announcement is first made by the Corporation.
In addition, to be considered timely, a stockholder’s notice shall further be updated and supplemented, if necessary, so that the information provided or required to be provided in such notice shall be true and correct as of the record date for the meeting and as of the date that is ten (10) business days prior to the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof, and such update and supplement shall be delivered to the secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than five (5) business days after the record date for the meeting in the case of the update and supplement required to be made as of the record date, and not later than eight (8) business days prior to the date for the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof in the case of the update and supplement required to be made as of ten (10) business days prior to the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof.
The update and supplement shall clearly identify the information that has changed since such stockholder’s prior advance notice submission. If a stockholder fails to provide such written update to the stockholder’s notice within such period, such notice may be deemed not to have been provided in accordance with this Section 2.13. For the avoidance of doubt, the obligation to update and supplement as set forth in this paragraph or any other Section of these Bylaws shall not limit or prejudice the Corporation’s rights with respect to asserting any deficiencies in any notice provided by a stockholder, extend any applicable deadlines hereunder or under any other provision of the Bylaws or enable or be deemed to permit a stockholder who has previously submitted notice hereunder or under any other provision of the Bylaws to amend or update any proposal or to submit any new proposal, including by changing or adding nominees, matters, business and or resolutions proposed to be brought before a meeting of the stockholders.
Further, upon written request by the secretary or the Board, any stockholder who submits a stockholder notice with respect to a stockholders’ meeting shall provide, within five (5) business says of delivery of such request (or such other period as may be specified in such request), (A) written verification, satisfactory, in the sole discretion of the Board or the secretary, as applicable, to demonstrate the accuracy of any information submitted by the stockholder pursuant to this Section 2.13, and (B) a written update of any information (including, if requested by the secretary or the Board, written confirmation by such stockholder that it continues to intend to bring such nomination(s) or other business proposal before the meeting) submitted by the stockholder pursuant to this Section 2.13 as of an earlier date. If a stockholder fails to provide such written verification or written update within such period, the information as to which written verification or a written update was requested and, accordingly, the stockholder notice, may be deemed not to have been provided in accordance with this Section 2.13.
(b) Special Meetings of Stockholders. Only such business shall be conducted at a special meeting of stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of meeting, subject to the provisions of Section 2.12(b) of these Bylaws.
Subject to Section 2.13(c)(9) of these Bylaws, in the event the Corporation calls a special meeting of stockholders for the purpose of electing one or more directors to the Board, any stockholder may nominate an individual or individuals (as the case may be) for election to such position(s) as specified in the Corporation’s notice of meeting, provided that the stockholder gives timely and proper notice thereof (including the information required by Section 2.13(c)(1) of these Bylaws and the completed and signed questionnaire, representation, and agreement required by Section 2.14 of these Bylaws), and timely updates and supplements thereof in each case in proper form, in writing, to the secretary. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be delivered to the secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not earlier than the close of business on the 120th day prior to the date of such special meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to the date of such special meeting or, if the first public announcement of the date of such special meeting is less than one hundred (100) days prior to the date of such special meeting, the 10th day following the day on which public announcement is first made of the date of the special meeting and of the nominees proposed by the Board to be elected at such meeting.
In no event shall any adjournment, recess, or postponement of a special meeting of stockholders, or the public announcement or other disclosure thereof commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described above. In addition, to be considered timely and proper, a stockholder’s notice pursuant to the first sentence of this paragraph shall further be updated and supplemented, if necessary, so that the information provided or required to be provided in such notice shall be true and correct as of the record date for the meeting and as of the date that is ten (10) business days prior to the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof, and such update and supplement shall be delivered to the secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than five (5) business days after the record date for the meeting in the case of the update and supplement required to be made as of the record date, and not later than eight (8) business days prior to the date for the meeting, any adjournment or postponement thereof in the case of the update and supplement required to be made as of ten (10) business days prior to the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof.

(7) Subject to Rules 14a-8 and 14a-19 under the Exchange Act, nothing in this Section 2.13 or elsewhere in these Bylaws shall be deemed to give any stockholder the right to have any nominations of persons for election to the Board or other proposed business included or described in any proxy statement prepared by the Corporation.

(i) For purposes of this Article, (A) “Indemnitee” shall mean each director or officer who was or is a party to, or is threatened to be made a party to, or is otherwise involved (including as a non-party witness, deponent, or recipient of a subpoena) in, any Proceeding (as hereinafter defined), by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer employee or agent (including, without limitation, as a trustee, fiduciary, administrator or manager) of the Corporation or any predecessor entity thereof, or is or was serving in any capacity at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent (including, without limitation, as a trustee, fiduciary, administrator, partner, member or manager) of, or in any other capacity for, another corporation or any partnership, joint venture, limited liability company, trust, or other enterprise; and (B) ”Proceeding” shall mean any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit or proceeding (including, without limitation, an action, suit or proceeding by or in the right of the Corporation), whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative.
(ii) Each Indemnitee shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada law, against all expense, liability and loss (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, taxes, penalties, and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by the Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding; provided that such Indemnitee either is not liable pursuant to NRS 78.138 or acted in good faith and in a manner such Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation and, with respect to any Proceeding that is criminal in nature, had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. The termination of any Proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, does not, of itself, create a presumption that the Indemnitee is liable pursuant to NRS 78.138 or did not act in good faith and in a manner in which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, or that, with respect to any criminal proceeding he or she had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. The Corporation shall not indemnify an Indemnitee for any claim, issue or matter as to which the Indemnitee has been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom, to be liable to the Corporation or for any amounts paid in settlement to the Corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the Proceeding was brought or other court of competent jurisdiction determines upon application that in view of all the circumstances of the case, the Indemnitee is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such amounts as the court deems proper. Except as so ordered by a court and for advancement of expenses pursuant to this Section 6.1, indemnification may not be made to or on behalf of an Indemnitee if a final adjudication establishes that his or her acts or omissions involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law and was material to the cause of action. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in these Bylaws, no director or officer may be indemnified for expenses incurred in defending any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit or proceeding (including, without limitation, an action, suit or proceeding by or in the right of the Corporation), whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, that such director or officer incurred in his or her capacity as a stockholder.
(iii) Indemnification pursuant to this Section 6.1 shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to be a director or officer of the Corporation or who has ceased to serve, at the request of the Corporation, as a director, officer, employee, agent, trustee, fiduciary, administrator, partner, member or manager of, or in any other capacity for, another corporation or any partnership, joint venture, limited liability company, trust, or other enterprise, and such indemnification shall inure to the benefit of such Indemnitee’s heirs, executors, and administrators.
(iv) The expenses of Indemnitees must be paid by the Corporation or through insurance purchased and maintained by the Corporation or through other financial arrangements made by the Corporation, as such expenses are incurred and in advance of the final disposition of the Proceeding, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such Indemnitee to repay the amount if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation. To the extent that an Indemnitee is successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any Proceeding, or in the defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, the Corporation shall indemnify him or her against expenses, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with the defense.
(b) Indemnification of Employees and Other Persons. The Corporation may, by action of its Board and to the extent provided in such action, indemnify employees and other persons as though they were Indemnitees.
(c) Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The rights to indemnification provided in this Article VI shall not be exclusive of any other rights that any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or directors, or otherwise.
(d) Insurance. The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance or make other financial arrangements on behalf of any Indemnitee for any liability asserted against him or her and liability and expenses incurred by him or her in his or her capacity as a director, officer, employee, member, managing member or agent, or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the Corporation has the authority to indemnify him or her against such liability and expenses.
(e) Other Financial Arrangements. The other financial arrangements which may be made by the Corporation may include, without limitation, the following: (i) the creation of a trust fund; (ii) the establishment of a program of self-insurance; (iii) the securing of its obligation of indemnification by granting a security interest or other lien on any assets of the Corporation; and (iv) the establishment of a letter of credit, guarantee or surety. No financial arrangement made pursuant to this subsection may provide protection for a person adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom, to be liable for intentional misconduct, fraud, or a knowing violation of law, except with respect to advancement of expenses or indemnification ordered by a court.
(f) Other Matters Relating to Insurance or Financial Arrangements. Any insurance or other financial arrangement made on behalf of a person pursuant to this Section 6.1 may be provided by the Corporation or any other person approved by the Board, even if all or part of the other person’s stock or other securities are owned by the Corporation. In the absence of fraud (i) the decision of the Board as to the propriety of the terms and conditions of any insurance or other financial arrangement made pursuant to this Section 6.1 and the choice of the person to provide the insurance or other financial arrangement is conclusive; and (ii) the insurance or other financial arrangement is not void or voidable and does not subject any director approving it to personal liability for his action; even if a director approving the insurance or other financial arrangement is a beneficiary of the insurance or other financial arrangement.
Section 6.2 Amendment. The provisions of this Article VI relating to indemnification shall constitute a contract between the Corporation and each of its directors and officers which may be modified as to any director or officer only with that person’s consent or as specifically provided in this Section 6.2. Notwithstanding any other provision of these Bylaws relating to their amendment generally, any repeal or amendment of this Article VI which is adverse to any director or officer shall apply to such director or officer only on a prospective basis, and shall not limit the rights of an Indemnitee to indemnification with respect to any action or failure to act occurring prior to the time of such repeal or amendment. Notwithstanding any other provision of these Bylaws (including, without limitation, Article X), no repeal or amendment of these Bylaws shall affect any or all of this Article VI so as to limit or reduce the indemnification in any manner unless adopted by (a) the unanimous vote of the directors of the Corporation then serving, or (b) a vote of stockholders representing not less than two-thirds of the voting power of the issued and outstanding stock entitled to vote at an annual or special meeting of the stockholders duly noticed and called in accordance with the Bylaws; provided that no such amendment shall have a retroactive effect inconsistent with the preceding sentences of this Section.
ARTICLE VII
CHANGES IN LAW
References in these Bylaws to Nevada law, the NRS, the Exchange Act, rules promulgated under the Exchange Act, or to any provision of any of the foregoing shall be to such law or rule as it existed on the date these Bylaws were adopted or as such law or rule thereafter may be changed; provided that (a) in the case of any change which expands the liability of directors or officers or limits the indemnification rights or the rights to advancement of expenses which the Corporation may provide in Article VI hereof, the rights to limited liability, to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses provided in the Articles of Incorporation and/or these Bylaws shall continue as before such change to the extent permitted by law; and (b) if such change permits the Corporation, without the requirement of any further action by stockholders or directors, to limit further the liability of directors or limit further the liability of officers or to provide broader indemnification rights or rights to the advancement of expenses than the Corporation was permitted to provide prior to such change, then liability thereupon shall be so limited and the rights to indemnification and the advancement of expenses shall be so broadened to the extent permitted by law.
ARTICLE VIII
DISTRIBUTIONS
Section 8.1 Declaration. Distributions may be declared, subject to the provisions of the laws of the State of Nevada and the Articles of Incorporation, by the Board and may be paid in cash, property, shares of corporate stock, or any other medium.
Section 8.2 Fixing Record Dates for Distributions and Share Dividends. For the purpose of determining stockholders entitled to receive a distribution by the Corporation (other than a distribution involving a purchase or redemption by the Corporation of any of its own shares) or a share dividend, the Board may, at the time of declaring the distribution or share dividend, set a date no more than sixty (60) days prior to the date of the distribution or share dividend; provided that the record date so fixed for such distribution or share dividend must not precede the date on which the Board adopted the resolution declaring such distribution or share dividend. If no record date is fixed for such distribution or share dividend, the record date shall be the date on which the resolution of the Board authorizing the distribution or share dividend is adopted.
ARTICLE IX
MISCELLANEOUS
Section 9.1 Books and Records. Any records maintained by the Corporation in the regular course of its business, including its stock ledger, books of account, and minute books, may be kept on, or by means of, or be in the form of, any information storage device or method, provided that the records so kept can be converted into clearly legible paper form within a reasonable time. The Corporation shall so convert any records so kept upon the request of any person entitled to inspect such records pursuant to applicable law.
Section 9.2 Fiscal Year. The fiscal year of the Corporation shall end on December 31 of each year.
ARTICLE X
BYLAW AMENDMENTS
Except as otherwise expressly provided in these Bylaws, these Bylaws may be amended, revised, or repealed or new bylaws may be made adopted only by a vote of (a) a majority of the Board, or (b) stockholders representing not less than a majority of the voting power of the issued and outstanding stock entitled to vote at an annual or special meeting of the stockholders duly noticed and called in accordance with these Bylaws, the NRS, and other applicable law and provided that the notice of the stockholders’ meeting (or any supplement thereto) that will act on an amendment to these Bylaws states that the purpose, or one of the purposes, of the meeting is to consider an amendment to these Bylaws and that there shall be included in, or enclosed with, the notice of the stockholders’ meeting (or any supplement thereto) a copy of the proposed amendment or a summary of the changes to be effected thereby.
ARTICLE XI
FORUM SELECTION
To the fullest extent permitted by law, and unless the Corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Eighth Judicial District Court of Clark County, Nevada (or, if that court does not have jurisdiction, the federal district court for the District of Nevada or other state courts of the State of Nevada) shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the exclusive forums for (a) any derivative action or proceeding brought in the name or right of the Corporation or on the Corporation’s behalf, (b) any action asserting or based upon a claim of breach of any duty owed by any director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation to the Corporation or to the Corporation’s stockholders, (c) any action or assertion of a claim arising pursuant to any provision of Chapter 78 or Chapter 92A of the NRS or the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws (as each may be amended from time to time), (d) any action to interpret, apply, enforce or determine the validity of the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws, or (e) any action asserting a claim against the Corporation governed by the internal affairs doctrine. Any person or entity purchasing, holding, or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of capital stock of the Corporation shall be deemed to have notice of, and to have consented to, the provisions of this Article XI.
