The proposal is set out in a non-binding term sheet dated September 16, 2026, and no transaction is assured. Separately, Usman Maher was appointed Chief Financial Officer and Chief Strategy Officer effective October 15, 2026, and the NYSE ticker is set to change from PAPL to PTIV on or about October 26, 2026.
