Citizenship

Item 2 of the Schedule 13D is incorporated by reference as to the Original Reporting Persons. Trustee is a U.S. Citizen resident in Colorado.

Item 3 is hereby amended by the addition of the following: Pursuant to the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement, dated as of March 21, 2025 (the "MIPA"), the Issuer issued 1,680,000 shares of Common Stock (referred to as the MIPA Shares in this Amendment No. 1) to Exela in exchange for 100% of the membership interests in GP 2XCV Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the "Purchased Interests"). On March 25, 2025, ETI-XCV granted an Irrevocable Proxy and Power of Attorney Coupled with an Interest (the "Irrevocable Proxy") in favor of the Trustee concerning XCV-EMEA. Pursuant to the Irrevocable Proxy, ETI-XCV, as the sole member of XCV-EMEA, granted the Trustee sole and exclusive authority to direct, control, manage, and influence XCV-EMEA's management, policies, and operations, including the right to vote all membership interests. This grant of authority is irrevocable and remains in effect subject to certain conditions. Following execution of the Irrevocable Proxy, the Trustee amended the Limited Liability Company Agreement of XCV-EMEA (the "LLCA") to modify ETI-XCV's membership interest, rendering it non-voting, and simultaneously providing the Trustee with a voting interest. As a result, ETI-XCV no longer retains any voting rights in XCV-EMEA or, by extension, in XCV-EMEA's subsidiary, BTC International, including the 21,802,364 shares (referred to in this Amendment No. 1 as the Merger Shares) of the Issuer's Common Stock held of record by BTC International. All such rights are now vested solely in the Trustee. By virtue of ETI-XCV's entry into the Irrevocable Proxy and the amendment of the LLCA, ETI-XCV and its ETI Entities, Exela and ETI-XCV Holdings (collectively with ETI-XCV, the "ETI Entities"), have effectively relinquished their ability to direct or influence the voting and management of XCV-EMEA. Consequently, these ETI Entities no longer beneficially own the membership interests of XCV-EMEA or, by extension, the interests of XCV-EMEA's subsidiaries, BTC International and the Issuer, for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Each of such Reporting Persons hereby disclaims beneficial ownership of the Merger Shares except to the extent of their pecuniary interest therein. Correspondingly, the Trustee may be deemed to beneficially own the membership interests of XCV-EMEA and, by extension, the interests of XCV-EMEA's subsidiaries, BTC International and the Issuer, by virtue of his exclusive voting and control rights. However, the Trustee disclaims any pecuniary interest therein.

Item 4 is hereby amended by the addition of the following: Pursuant to the MIPA, the Share Consideration was issued to Exela in exchange for the Purchased Interests. Exela subsequently transferred the Share Consideration to GP 3XCV. Pursuant to the Irrevocable Proxy and amendment to the LLCA, the ETI Entities ceased to control the Issuer.
