About Angel Studios, Inc.

Source: Item 1 (Business) from the 10-K filed March 12, 2026. Description as filed by the company with the SEC.

Item 1. Business

Overview

We are a media and technology company guided by a community of approximately 2.0 million grassroots Angel Guild members championing values-driven stories. The combination of our community and our technology platform replaces the traditional Hollywood gatekeeper model with a scalable, data-informed approach to film and TV show decisions that improves with each new member and interaction.

Our community, known as the Angel Guild, is at the heart of this mission.

1) The Angel Guild votes to select film and TV shows.

2) The Angel Guild rallies in theaters to support film releases.

3) The Angel Guild funds future films and TV shows with their membership.

As of December 31, 2025, through the Angel Guild, approximately 2.0 million paying members help decide what film and TV projects we will market and distribute.

Pledge to Amplify Light

All Guild members make a written pledge stating: “When I vote, I pledge to help choose excellent entertainment that is true, honest, noble, just, authentic, lovely or admirable.”

Our Technology and Artificial Intelligence

Technology Platform

Our proprietary technology platform powers the Angel Guild experience and our film and TV show selection, marketing, distribution, and streaming operations. The Angel App is available across iOS, Android, Roku, Fire TV, Samsung Smart TV, Apple TV, and Apple Vision Pro. Key technology components include:

Guild Score Engine. Our proprietary algorithm aggregates member voting signals to generate a guild score (the “Guild Score”) for each film or TV show submission. Only submissions that achieve a Guild Score above our established acceptance threshold are approved through the voting process. This threshold reflects our community’s collective assessment that the film or TV show amplifies light and demonstrates strong audience appeal. The Guild Score system processes input from our growing membership base, and we believe its predictive accuracy improves as our community scales.

Film and TV Show Discovery and Recommendations. We use AI and data-driven systems within the Angel App to match films and TV shows to member preferences based on viewing behavior, voting patterns, and engagement signals. During 2025, the integration of AI into our discovery and recommendation processes helped contribute to an increase in member view hours.

Audience Intelligence. The behavioral data generated by our approximately 2.0 million members represents a proprietary dataset of values-driven entertainment preferences that we believe is differentiated in our industry. We use this data to inform greenlight decisions, marketing strategy, theatrical release planning, and film and TV show acquisition priorities.

We believe our technology platform creates a compounding advantage: each new member generates signals that improve our film and TV show selection and recommendation accuracy, thereby increasing member satisfaction and retention, leading to higher revenues which fund additional films and TV shows, and ultimately attracting new members to the platform.

Artificial Intelligence in Our Operations

We utilize and integrate artificial intelligence tools and techniques throughout the Company. Our engineering teams use AI-assisted development tools to accelerate software delivery, which has enabled us to deliver complex, multi-platform projects on timelines that would not have been achievable previously.

Beyond engineering, we are deploying AI tools in media operations, where AI-assisted workflows have helped reduce media file preparation time; in data analysis, where AI has improved the speed and capacity of our analytical capabilities; and in film and TV show

acquisition, where we are building tools to identify and evaluate potential partnerships. We have also integrated AI capabilities into our member support systems to improve response quality and resolution speed.

Our approach to artificial intelligence is guided by principles focused on accelerating human work, creativity, and judgment in service of our mission; strengthening relationships within the Angel community; and safeguarding personal information. We plan to continue expanding our use of AI across the organization and believe that our ability to adopt and deploy AI tools rapidly provides a meaningful operational advantage.

Our Competitive Advantages

We believe our competitive position is strengthened by several factors that are difficult to replicate:

Community Data Moat

Our Angel Guild community of approximately 2.0 million members generates a proprietary dataset of film and TV show preferences, voting patterns, viewing behavior, and engagement signals. We believe this dataset—the scale and specificity of which we are not aware of any competitor possessing for values-driven entertainment—enables us to make film and TV show selection, marketing, and distribution decisions with greater confidence and efficiency than traditional approaches.

AI-Accelerated Operations

Our adoption of artificial intelligence across engineering, film and TV show operations, and business functions enables us to develop technology, prepare films and TV shows for distribution, including tools for preparation, quality assurance, digital rights management, and production workflow efficiency (“Film and TV Show Technology”), and respond to market opportunities at a pace that we believe exceeds what our organization could achieve through traditional methods. We intend to continue expanding AI adoption across the company.

Trust and Curation

As AI technologies increasingly help audiences discover films and TV shows, we believe the most powerful entertainment experiences come from combining intelligent technology with trusted human communities. Our community-curated, values-driven model works alongside emerging technologies to help audiences navigate an expanding world of content with confidence. Guided by our Guild members’ pledge to select films and TV shows that are “true, honest, noble, just, authentic, lovely or admirable,” we bring a human perspective that enriches and complements AI-powered discovery.

Founding

We were founded in 2013 by our Chief Executive Officer, Neal Harmon, along with his brothers Daniel, Jeffrey and Jordan, and their cousin, Benton Crane. We were originally named VidAngel but we were renamed Angel Studios, Inc. in March 2021.

Business Plan

We are a community-driven media company that uses technology to empower audiences to decide which stories get produced and distributed, while creating communities around each project. Filmmakers pitch projects to the Angel Guild, which include individuals from all over the world, to find stories and filmmakers that amplify light. After projects pass the Angel Guild, investors in Angel Studios (“Angel Investors”) are given the opportunity to fund the projects they are most excited to see, via the Angel Funding Portal discussed below. Post-production, films and TV shows are delivered directly to viewers and grow as fans share with others.

Our distribution clients utilize the services of VAS Portal, LLC d/b/a Angel Funding (“VAS Portal”), an SEC registered Funding Portal (SEC File No. 7-165) and a member of the Financial Industry Regulation Authority (“FINRA”), to facilitate crowdfunding of their projects by Angel Investors via what we refer to as the “Angel Funding Portal.” VAS Portal and the Angel Funding Portal are operated independently and currently offer crowdfunding opportunities exclusively to Angel Investors. VAS Portal was originally founded as a wholly owned subsidiary of Angel Studios, but was sold in 2019 to Harmon Ventures, LLC (an entity indirectly owned by our Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Neal Harmon, and two of his brothers, Messrs. Jeffrey Harmon and Daniel Harmon) (“Harmon Ventures”). As of the date of this Annual Report, Angel Studios has no ownership interest in VAS Portal.

The first project launched by us for distribution was Dry Bar Comedy. Dry Bar Comedy is currently one of the largest collections of clean stand-up comedy in the world with over five billion views, including social media.

Shortly thereafter, we entered into a consulting and coordination agreement with The Chosen, Inc. (f/k/a The Chosen, LLC) (“The Chosen”) to produce a new type of TV series where each season is funded by the audience. As part of the agreement, we (i) provided The Chosen with certain consultation and advice related to The Chosen’s crowdfunding offering, (ii) designed and built a technological platform for The Chosen to facilitate its crowdfunding offering and (iii) provided various public relations and marketing and advertising services for The Chosen. The series “The Chosen” went on to become one of the largest equity crowdfunded media projects of all time, amassing an audience of more than one hundred million. On October 18, 2022, we entered into an agreement with the Chosen under which we were granted a limited license to distribute, solely on the Angel App, all previous and future episodes and seasons of the series “The Chosen,” and any future audiovisual productions derivative thereof (the “Chosen Agreement”). On April 4, 2023, The Chosen initiated a private binding arbitration against us alleging certain material breaches of contract under the Chosen Agreement, seeking to terminate the Chosen Agreement. On May 28, 2024, the arbitrator in the arbitration proceedings issued an interim arbitration award (the “Interim Arbitration Award”) granting The Chosen’s breach of contract claims and terminating the Chosen Agreement effective as of May 28, 2024. On September 25, 2024, the final award (the “Final Arbitration Award”) was issued, which remained consistent with the Interim Arbitration Award and granted a portion of The Chosen’s costs and fees. On October 25, 2024, we filed an appeal of the Award with an appellate panel of arbitrators (the “Panel”), as permitted under the arbitration provision of the Chosen Agreement. On June 13, 2025, the Panel upheld the Award, and we intend to comply with its terms, including with respect to the termination of the Chosen Agreement effective as of May 28, 2024. On July 11, 2025, we entered into a settlement and release agreement with The Chosen for dismissal and mutual release of all pending matters. We settled all pending claims and liabilities as part of the award in July 2025. For more information, see “Part I, Item 3. Legal Proceedings—The Chosen Arbitration.”

Building on our early successes, we launched several new initiatives that focus on films and TV shows in markets currently underserved by the traditional studio system.

During 2023, we launched a new theatrical division and released “His Only Son,” which debuted at #3 in the U.S. box office according to distributor data provided to TheNumbers.com. On July 4, 2023, we released “Sound of Freedom,” which debuted at #1 in the U.S. box office according to distributor data provided to TheNumbers.com. Our innovative theatrical strategy combines the power of the Angel Guild’s predictive capabilities in identifying movies that we believe deserve a theatrical release with the efficiency of crowdfunding the prints and advertising (“P&A”) funds needed to market the film. In addition, using our self-developed and controlled “Theatrical Pay it Forward” technology, we are able to offer a community-based in-person cinema experience whereby, after experiencing a film in the theater, people have the opportunity to share that experience with others by purchasing tickets, through the Angel App or on our website, for those who would not otherwise watch the film at a theater. The Theatrical Pay it Forward technology combines standard payment processing technology with a streamlined redemption process that allows recipients of the Theatrical Pay it Forward tickets to select a theater and showtime of their choosing for the respective film.

Not all of our films or TV shows launch theatrically. We consider multiple different distribution strategies for our films and TV shows, including licensing of the content across a wide range of global distribution platforms and networks that include transactional video on demand, electronic sell thru, subscription video on demand (“SVOD”), ad-supported video on demand and free video on demand. We also make our content available through our own streaming service via the Angel App or on our website (www.angel.com). The Angel App is available to download for free from the Google Play Store on Android mobile devices, Google TV devices and Android TV devices, from the Apple App Store on iOS mobile devices, from Roku TV, from the Fire TV Channels Store on Fire TV and from Samsung Smart TV. While most content can be watched for free on the Angel App, members of the Angel Guild are provided with early access to most of the content that we distribute.

We are regularly testing, introducing and building new and exciting community-based features to help us achieve the goal of finding and sharing stories with the world that amplify light.

History of the Business

We were founded in 2013 by our Chief Executive Officer, Neal Harmon, along with his brothers Daniel, Jeffrey and Jordan, and their cousin, Benton Crane.

Bankruptcy Proceedings

On October 18, 2017, we filed a voluntary petition for relief under the Bankruptcy Code in the Bankruptcy Court, and were reorganized under the Reorganization Plan confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court, which became effective on September 30, 2020 ( the “Reorganization Plan Effective Date”). On November 17, 2020, the Bankruptcy Court issued a final decree closing the Bankruptcy Case.

Table of Contents

The following is a summary of certain provisions of the Reorganization Plan (defined below) and related Disney Settlement Agreement, in relation to the unauthorized use of Copyrighted Works.

Reorganization Plan

The Reorganization Plan contemplates that:

●We will continue as a “going concern,” thereby ensuring the greatest return to creditors and stockholders by allowing us to reorganize through continuation of our business operations and satisfaction and discharge of our debts over time.

●Holders of all allowed claims (other than administrative expense claims and priority tax claims) will be paid in full, from funds available and required to be distributed thereto, and equity holders of Angel Studios shall retain their interests in Angel Studios.

●Neal Harmon and Jeffrey Harmon will remain in management positions with us and agreed to refrain from engaging in competitive activities in the business of self-selected viewing for a one-year period. Pursuant to the Disney Settlement Agreement and under the related Security Agreement (as defined in the Disney Settlement Agreement), Neal Harmon and Jeffrey Harmon pledged all their equity in Angel Studios as collateral. If we are found to have four instances of unauthorized use of copyrighted materials in a consecutive five year period, any Studio (as defined below) may immediately commence an enforcement action against Angel Studios in the Central District of California, and both Neal Harmon and Jeffrey Harmon could lose all of their interests in Angel Studios.

●We agree not to directly or indirectly, or facilitate any third party, to descramble, decrypt or otherwise bypass a Copyrighted Work of Disney Enterprises, Inc., Lucasfilm Ltd. LLC, Twentieth Century Film Corporation, Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc., MVL Film Finance, LLC, New Line Productions, Inc. and Turner Entertainment Co. (each individually a “Studio” and collectively, the “Studios”) or their respective affiliates, not to reproduce such a Copyrighted Work, not to stream, transmit, or publicly perform such a Copyrighted Work, and not to distribute such a Copyrighted Work.

●We agree not to sue the Studios, and not to use resources to lobby to amend the Family Movie Act of 2005 (17 U.S.C. § 110(11)) for a period of fourteen years following the Reorganization Plan Effective Date. We will voluntarily dismiss our appeal of the judgment and the injunction obtained by the Studios.

●Subject to our compliance with terms and conditions of the Reorganization Plan and related Disney Settlement Agreement, we will pay the Studios $9.9 million over fourteen years, or $7.8 million if paid within five years, (the “Settlement Amount”) without interest, provided, however, that the unpaid balance of that certain promissory note made by the Company to the Studios in the amount of $62.5 million (the “Note”) minus any paid amounts will remain outstanding for fourteen years from the Reorganization Plan Effective Date. If, upon the expiration of fourteen years after the Reorganization Plan Effective Date, the Settlement Amount is timely paid and there is no breach or violation of the Disney Settlement Agreement that remains uncured after written notice is received and there have not been four instances of unpermitted conduct in violation of the Disney Settlement Agreement, subject to a Notice of Default (as defined in the Disney Settlement Agreement), in a consecutive five year period, then the Note shall be cancelled, and the original Note marked “Paid and Cancelled” shall be returned to us. The Company elected to pay the entire settlement amount within the five year period and as such, as of the year ended 2025, the required Settlement Amount of $7.8 million has been fully repaid.

●The equity holders of Angel Studios shall retain their equity interests in Angel Studios, provided however, that distributions to such equity holders shall not be made unless and until all payment obligations under the Reorganization Plan are made in full.

The foregoing summary of certain provisions of the Reorganization Plan and related Disney Settlement Agreement are not complete and are subject to and qualified in their entirety by reference to the Reorganization Plan and Disney Settlement Agreement, copies of which can be found in Angel Legacy’s Current Report on Form 1-U filed on September 15, 2020, under “Item 2.1, Exhibits,” and the terms of which are incorporated by reference herein.

Our Product and Services

We currently operate by offering and producing our own films and series, distributing original films and series, releasing licensed films or shows, consulting with filmmakers, maintaining engagement with our existing users, conducting research and development to create new intellectual property and devising new methods to monetize existing intellectual property.

Table of Contents

We are guided by our “North Star” principle, which is to share stories with the world that amplify light. We seek to do this by aligning our interests with those of the filmmakers and the audience and utilizing the wisdom of crowds, via the Angel Guild, to help guide decisions on which films and TV shows get selected for distribution. Members of the Angel Guild are allowed to vote on filmmaker submissions and are asked for their feedback as to whether or not the film or TV show “amplifies light” (based on our definition above). If the film or TV show receives a high enough score from the Angel Guild, we may then seek to enter into a licensing or distribution agreement (a “Distribution Agreement”) with the filmmaker, the terms of which are addressed below under “—Distribution and License Agreements.” The number of votes required for a film or TV show to pass the Angel Guild with statistical significance varies based on a wide variety of different factors, and is subject to change as we continue to improve and revise the voting process. Only submissions that achieve a Guild Score above our established acceptance threshold are approved through the voting process. This threshold reflects our community’s collective assessment that the film or TV show amplifies light and demonstrates strong audience appeal. If algorithms related to the Guild Score are changed, they are simultaneously changed for all applicable present and future films and TV shows that go through the voting process.

Original Content

We announced the “Angel Studios” concept in December 2016 and immediately began accepting submissions for digital distribution, applications to perform comedy routines for our Dry Bar Comedy series and applications from filmmakers interested in helping us produce original films and series.

We have received thousands of inquiries and applications to partner on various projects. As of December 31, 2025, we have exclusively licensed 137 titles for worldwide distribution, of which 101 are films (including “Sound of Freedom,” “Cabrini,” “Sound of Hope,” “Bonhoeffer,” “Homestead, ” “The King of Kings,” “The Last Rodeo,” and “David”) and 36 are television series (including “The Tuttle Twins,” “The Wingfeather Saga,” “The Wayfinders,” “Testament: The Series,” and “Homestead”). We have also produced and filmed 776 original comedy specials from various up-and-coming comedians as part of our Dry Bar Comedy series. We currently film, produce and distribute all specials for our Dry Bar Comedy series from our own studio and offices in Provo, Utah.

Distribution and License Agreements

We enter into various Distribution Agreements with filmmakers and production companies related to films or TV shows in different stages of production. Our Distribution Agreements differ from the industry norm in the fact that we do not take a distribution fee off the top. Payouts to filmmakers on these arrangements (“Royalties”) are based on net profit of the film or show. Net profit is generally determined to be all revenues recognized by us that are derived from the exploitation of the film or TV show, less (1) all verified out-of-pocket distribution costs and expenses incurred by us specific to the film or TV show and (2) all verifiable marketing-related costs incurred by us for or in connection with the marketing of the film or TV show. Distribution Royalties on net profits are split between the filmmaker and us.

In addition to our original exclusive distribution licensed films and shows, we have added 86 Angel Guild license agreements for streaming films and shows to the Angel Guild in the year ended December 31, 2025, with the expectation to add approximately 3 to 4 per week throughout 2026.

We have also developed an international distribution output network with Paris Filmes in Brazil, A Contracorriente in Spain, NOS Lusomundo in Portugal, Santa Barbara Films in Colombia, Neema Media in Benelux, FilmOne in Ghana, Liberia and Nigeria, Blitz in Croatia and former Yugoslavia, ROLA in Argentina, Bolivia, Caribbean (Aruba, Dominican Republic, Jamaica), Chile, Central America (Panama, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica), Ecuador, Mexico, Peru, Paraguay and Uruguay, Kinostar in Germany, Saje Distribution in France, ADS Service in Hungary, Monolith in Poland, Empire in South Africa, Botswana, Kenya, Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Rwanda, Swaziland, Tanzania (including Zanzibar), Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe, Shaw in Singapore, Skyline Entertainment in Sri Lanka, MovieCloud in Taiwan, Crystalsky in Philippines, KOVA Releasing in United Kingdom and Ireland and RIALTO in Australia and New Zealand, and Galapagos Films in Poland, with the plan to add additional output partners in the future.

Given the nature of our business, our Distribution Agreements are not material at signing, but become material over time as the audience’s interest is fully realized. Material Distribution Agreements tied to more than $573.0 million in total global gross box office, as of December 31, 2025, include “His Only Son,” “Sound of Freedom,” “After Death,” “The Shift,” “Cabrini,” “Sight,” “Sound of Hope,” “Bonhoeffer,” “Homestead,” “Brave the Dark,” “Rule Breakers,” “The King of Kings,” “The Last Rodeo,” “Sketch,” “The Senior,” “Truth and Treason,” and “David”.

Table of Contents

Our business does not currently generate revenue from distribution activities related to the Chosen Agreement pursuant to which we were granted a limited license to distribute, solely on the Angel App, all previous and future episodes and seasons of the series “The Chosen,” and any future audiovisual productions derivative thereof.

Theatrical Distribution

We enter into agreements with exhibitors (theater owners) whereby the exhibitor collects the ticket admission fees and retains a portion of those gross box office receipts and taxes paid at the box office. The balance is remitted to us, as the distributor.

Theatrical distribution typically involves significant risk and high upfront marketing costs, which can cause our financial results to vary from time to time, although we do many things to help mitigate those risks, such as selling tickets directly to theaters to provide us visibility into which marketing efforts generate the most ticket sales, and by providing Angel Guild Premium members with two free movie tickets to every Angel Studios theatrical release. We incur significant marketing and advertising costs before and throughout a theatrical release in an effort to drive public awareness of the film and increase ticket sales. These costs are expensed as they are incurred, including in periods prior to the theatrical release of the film.

In March 2023, we launched our first motion picture theatrical release under our newly formed theatrical division, entitled “His Only Son.” The film was produced on a budget of approximately $250.0 thousand before we licensed the film for global distribution. Upon release, the film grossed an estimated $12.0 million domestically and hit #3 in the box office on opening weekend according to TheNumbers.com.

In July 2023, we released our second film, “Sound of Freedom” in theaters. Sound of Freedom surpassed industry expectations, earning approximately $185.0 million in gross domestic box office sales. Sound of Freedom has subsequently been released in various international locations and has earned approximately $250.0 million in gross worldwide box office sales.

With our recent successes in theatrical distribution, we are continuing to see a large influx of filmmakers who are looking to work with us to release their films and/or TV shows into the market. We hope to leverage these opportunities to bring more films and TV shows to audiences around the world that amplify light.

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, we released 8 films theatrically and were ranked by TheNumbers.com in their annual list of top distributors as the #10 domestic distributor for 2025. Such titles, their release patterns and gross worldwide box office sales for films released during the year ended December 31, 2025 included the following:

Competition

We operate in a highly competitive environment and compete against much larger companies for rights to talent and intellectual property, as well as for the audience to whom we distribute our content.

Theatrical distribution is an extremely competitive and potentially lucrative market for us. We compete against much larger content providers and traditional movie studios with much bigger production and marketing budgets. Our success depends heavily on our ability to choose the right films and TV shows to license and release in theaters, as well as effectively and efficiently marketing that content to the intended audience.

Over-the-top media services has been one of the fastest growing segments in the media and entertainment industry. The market for video entertainment is intensely competitive and subject to rapid change. As the industry continues to evolve, we will continue to face strong competition in every aspect of our business. We compete against other digital content distribution platforms where customers can stream exclusive and non-exclusive content on demand.

A large portion of this competition comes from much larger companies that have resources and brand recognition that pose significant competitive challenges. Our success depends on our ability to differentiate how we identify, fund and distribute our original content.

We compete against other entertainment video providers, such as multichannel video programming distributors, motion picture and TV studios, streaming entertainment providers (including those that provide pirated content) and more broadly against other sources of entertainment that our customers could choose in their moments of free time. We also compete against streaming entertainment providers and content producers in obtaining content for our service.

While consumers may maintain simultaneous relationships with multiple entertainment sources, we strive for consumers to choose us in their moments of free time. By aligning the desires of the consumer with that of the creator, we believe that the audience can play a much larger role in shaping the future of content and are working to create better ways for filmmakers to leverage the wisdom of the crowd in their creative process.

Intellectual Property

We regard our trademarks, service marks, copyrights, patents, domain names, trade dress, trade secrets, proprietary technologies and similar intellectual property as important to our success. In addition, we rely on a combination of patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret laws in the United States and other jurisdictions, as well as license agreements and other contractual documents, to protect our proprietary technologies. We also seek to protect our intellectual property rights by requiring all employees and independent contractors involved in developing intellectual property on our behalf to execute acknowledgments that all intellectual property generated or conceived by them on our behalf or related to the work they perform for us is our property, and assigning to us any rights, title and interest, including intellectual property rights, they may claim or have in those works or property, to the extent allowable under applicable law.

Despite our best efforts to protect our technology and proprietary rights by enforcing our intellectual property rights, licenses and other contractual rights, unauthorized parties might still copy or otherwise obtain and use our software and other technology. As we continue to expand our operations, effective intellectual property protection, including copyright, trademark and trade secret protection might not be available or might be limited in foreign countries. Significant impairment of our intellectual property rights could harm our business or our ability to compete. Further, companies in the communications and technology industries frequently own large numbers of patents, copyrights and trademarks and might threaten litigation or sue us based on alleged infringement or other violations of intellectual property laws. We are currently subject to, and expect to face in the future, allegations that we have infringed the intellectual property rights of third parties, including our competitors and non-practicing entities.

Research and Development

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, we expensed $15.5 million, $12.8 million and $9.7 million, respectively, on research and development activities. The increase in research and development expense in 2025 reflects our continued investment in platform technology, AI capabilities, and film and TV show delivery infrastructure.

13

Table of Contents

Our research and development efforts focus on three areas: (1) platform technology, including the Angel App, streaming infrastructure, and film and TV show delivery systems serving our base across all platforms; (2) AI and audience analytics, including our Guild Score algorithm, AI-enhanced discovery and recommendation engine, and member analytics systems; and (3) Film and TV Show Technology. We intend to continue investing in AI capabilities across our engineering and operational functions, as we believe AI-accelerated development enables us to deliver technology improvements at a faster pace and lower cost than previously.

Human Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2025, we employed 290 persons full time and 21 persons part time. None of our employees are covered by a collective bargaining agreement. We believe we maintain a good working relationship with our employees, and we have not experienced any labor disputes. To further our long-term stability and financial success by attracting and retaining employees, directors and consultants, our 2025 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Stock Incentive Plan”) provides for the grant to key personnel equity-based awards, with certain awards subject to performance vesting criteria.
