Preliminary Proxy Statement filed April 15, 2026 Questions and Answers about the Special Meeting, page 5

1. We note disclosure that after the Asset Sale, you anticipate that stockholders will continue to hold Nasdaq-listed stock. However, we note other disclosure that after the Dissolution, you will have your Class A common stock delisted from Nasdaq. In addition, we note that the Duff & Phelps opinion relates to the fairness of the distribution to stockholders upon dissolution. Please revise to include additional questions and answers that clearly disclose your current plans. Your revised disclosure should state whether the Board currently intends to continue the company as a Nasdaq- listed company, or to dissolve. If the Board intends for stockholders to continue to hold Nasdaq-listed stock, please explain why you are seeking stockholder approval of the Dissolution Proposal. Your disclosure should also describe what a current stockholder can expect to happen to their investment and explain how or why the Board may change its current plans. 2. Please revise to state whether any of the proposals are conditioned on the approval of any of the other proposals. April 29, 2026 Page 2 The Dissolution Proposal (Proposal No. 4), page 66

3. We note disclosure that if the stockholders approve the Dissolution Proposal, the Board will decide whether or not to proceed with the Dissolution in its sole discretion, including that you will file the Certificate of Dissolution and will close your transfer books on the filing date. Further, we note disclosure on page 19 that in the event the Board determines to proceed with the dissolution, you will have your Class A common stock delisted from Nasdaq, which will be effective 10 days after you file such an application on Form 25. Please revise to clarify the timing of filing the Certificate of Dissolution in relation to the Form 25. State clearly whether and when you will notify stockholders of the Board s determination to proceed with the Dissolution prior to filing the Certificate of Dissolution and Form 25, respectively. If you do not intend to notify stockholders, so state. Update the risk factors as appropriate. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management, page 80

4. Noting that the issuance contemplated by the Nasdaq Proposal relates to more than 19.99% of your outstanding common stock upon the conversion of the Convertible Notes, please fill in the table in a revised preliminary proxy statement and include a separate column that reflects the beneficial ownership and voting control after the conversion of the Convertible Notes. In addition, where you discuss the Nasdaq Proposal here and throughout the proxy statement, please revise to state the Investor's potential ownership and voting control after the conversion and identify the Investor.

We remind you that the company and its management are responsible for the accuracy and adequacy of their disclosures, notwithstanding any review, comments, action or absence of action by the staff.

Please contact Jenny O'Shanick at 202-551-8005 or Erin Purnell at 202-551-3454 with any questions.
