If the subject report could not be filed without unreasonable effort or expense and the registrant seeks relief pursuant to Rule 12b-25(b), the following should be completed. (Check box if appropriate)

	(a)	The reasons described in reasonable detail in Part III of this form could not be eliminated without unreasonable effort or expense;

☒	(b)	The subject annual report, semi-annual report, transition report on Form 10-K, Form 20-F,11-K, Form N-CEN, Form N-CSR, or portion thereof, will be filed on or before the fifteenth calendar day following the prescribed due date; or the subject quarterly report of transition report on Form 10-Q, or subject distribution report on Form 10-D, or portion thereof, will be filed on or before the fifth calendar day following the prescribed date; and

	(c)	The accountant's statement or other exhibit required by Rule 12b-25(c) has been attached if applicable.

PART III — NARRATIVE

State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

As disclosed on the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on March 12, 2026, on March 9, 2026, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company in consultation with the Company’s management concluded that the Company’s previously issued financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, and in the Company’s previously issued unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for each of the quarterly and year-to-date periods in 2024 and 2025 that were included in Forms 10-Q that were filed for the periods ended March 31, 2025, June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2025 (collectively, the “Prior Periods”), should not be relied upon and require restatement (“Restatement”) because of errors related to its accounting for the liability associated with its captive insurance subsidiary recorded in the Prior Periods that resulted in material misstatements of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash—short-term and long-term, deferred income tax assets, net, income taxes payable and current and noncurrent captive insurance liabilities on the balance sheets, and provision for captive insurance liability and provision for income taxes on the statements of operations (resulting in understatements of Income from Operations and Net Income), included in the financial statements for the Prior Periods.

The need for the Restatement was discovered during the course of the audits of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025. The Company was required to undertake a re-audit of its financial statements for 2023 and 2024 because the registration of its prior independent registered public accounting firm, Zwick CPA, PLLC, who had conducted the audits of those periods and issued reports thereon, was revoked by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (the “PCAOB”).

As the Company intends to restate the audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 that will be included in its upcoming Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31 2025 (the “Comprehensive 10-K”), the Company is unable to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, without unreasonable effort and expense. The Company needs additional time as a result to file the Comprehensive 10-K.

(2)		Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter period that the registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed?
