He led capital raises across the full capital structure including IPOs, follow-on equity, high-yield and convertible notes, bank and institutional loans, and acquisition financing.

 

Mr. Winkler holds an MBA from Rice University's Jones Graduate School of Management, where he was named a Jones Scholar, and a Bachelor of Arts in Economics, Managerial Studies, and Policy Studies, also from Rice University. There are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Winkler and any other persons pursuant to which he was appointed as Interim Chief Financial Officer. There are no family relationships between Mr. Winkler and any director or executive officer of the Company, and there are no transactions between Mr. Winkler and the Company that would be reportable under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.

 

In connection with his appointment as Interim Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Winkler will receive a monthly cash stipend of $20,000 during the period of his service in the interim role and a one-time equity award of 100,000 stock purchase warrants with a strike price equal to the Company’s share price as of market close on April 27, 2026.
