Balmoral holds 2,065 shares of Pre-Split Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Bridge Notes upon the consummation of the IPO which were acquired with personal funds of Balmoral from time to time. Consequently, Balmoral is the beneficial owner of 2,065 shares of Common Stock (the "Balmoral Shares"). Balmoral has the power to dispose of and the power to vote the Balmoral Shares beneficially owned by it, which power may be exercised by Mr. Friedberg who, as the manager of Balmoral, has shared power to vote and/or dispose of the Balmoral Shares beneficially owned by Balmoral.

By reason of the provisions of Rule 13d-3 of the Act, Mr. Friedberg may be deemed to beneficially own the Balmoral Shares beneficially owned by Balmoral.

On April 16, 2025, in connection with the Merger Agreement, Balmoral, Key and other unrelated investors entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with LNHC and the Issuer (the "Purchase Agreement"), pursuant to which each of Balmoral and Key purchased 400 shares of Series A Preferred Stock from the Issuer at a purchase price of $400,000 (the "PIPE Financing"). Each of Balmoral and Key obtained the funds for the purchase of the Series A Preferred Stock from its working capital. On July 1, 2025, the Issuer completed the PIPE Financing and the Merger. Each of Balmoral and Key purchased 400 shares of Series A Preferred Stock in the PIPE Financing. The combined company began operating under the name Pelthos Therapeutics Inc. ("Pelthos") on July 1, 2025. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into 100 shares of Common Stock (after giving effect to the one-for-ten reverse stock split effected on July 1, 2025). At the closing, each of Balmoral and Key immediately converted 400 shares of Series A Preferred Stock into 40,000 shares of Common Stock.
