Insider trading around this filing

30 days after: none reported.

Open-market purchases and sales (Form 4 codes P and S) by officers, directors and 10% owners, by transaction date, from 2025-07-10 to 2025-11-07. Excludes option exercises, grants, gifts and tax withholding. Amended filings replace the originals; joint filings count once. Foreign private issuers do not file Form 4. Many insider sales are pre-scheduled (10b5-1 plans) and are not by themselves a sign of wrongdoing.

Verified excerpt

"As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred significant operating losses since inception and, as of December 31, 2024, has both a substantial accumulated deficit and a significant working capital deficit, which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern."

What this means

The filing states that substantial doubt exists about the company's ability to continue as a going concern: it may not have enough cash to last the next 12 months. Expect dilution, debt deals or worse. An auditor's going-concern paragraph is the strongest form of this warning.
