Added

Tariffs and trade restrictions could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Added

Changes in U.S. and foreign trade policies have resulted in, and may continue to result in, the imposition of tariffs, import and export restrictions, trade barriers, and other measures that increase the cost of raw materials, components, and finished goods. In 2025, the U.S. administration announced significant tariff increases on imports from various countries. Although the impact of these measures has not been material to date because we have generally been able to pass increased costs on to customers, there can be no assurance that we will be able to continue to do so in the future.

Added

On February 20, 2026, the United States Supreme Court ruled that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”) does not authorize the President to impose tariffs, invalidating certain tariffs previously imposed under that authority. However, tariffs imposed pursuant to other statutory authorities, including Sections 301 and 232 of the Trade Act, remain in effect. In addition, the U.S. administration has announced new tariff measures under alternative legal authorities, including a temporary import surcharge under Section 122 of the Trade Act, which is subject to statutory duration limits and may be extended only through congressional action.

Added

Trade policy remains highly dynamic and uncertain, and additional tariffs, quotas, import restrictions, retaliatory trade measures, or other barriers could be imposed by the United States or foreign governments at any time. If we are unable to offset the effects of such measures through pricing actions, sourcing changes, operational efficiencies, or other mitigation strategies, our costs could increase and our supply chain could be disrupted. As a result, our sales, gross margins, profitability, and operating results could be materially adversely affected.

Reworded

Syntec Optics is a “controlled company” as defined under the Nasdaq rules because Mr. Kapoor, chairman of the Syntec Optics Board, owns more than 50% of the total voting power of all issued and outstanding Syntec Optics Class A Shares.Shares, Forand sotherefore, as long as Syntec Optics remains a controlled company under that definition, it is permitted to elect to rely, and may rely, on certain exemptions from Nasdaq corporate governance rules.

Reworded

Any failure to implement and maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, including the identification of one or more material weaknesses, could cause investors to lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of Syntec Optics’ financial statements and reports, which would likely have an adverse effect on the market price of Syntec Optics’ common stock. In addition, Syntec Optics could be subject to sanctionssanctions, inquiries, or investigationsother actions by the stock exchange on which Syntec Optics’ common stock is listed,Nasdaq, the SECSEC, and other regulatory authorities.

Added

If we fail to maintain compliance with Nasdaq listing requirements, our securities could be delisted.

Added

Syntec Optics’ common stock and warrants are listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market. Nasdaq listing standards require us to satisfy certain corporate governance and financial and liquidity criteria and to file periodic reports with the SEC in a timely manner. In 2025, we received notices from Nasdaq related to our failure to timely file periodic reports and related inquiries regarding certain current report filings. Although we submitted a compliance plan that was accepted by Nasdaq, we cannot assure you that we will remain in compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements in the future. If Nasdaq delists our securities, we could face significantly reduced liquidity and trading volume, increased volatility, a loss of analyst coverage, reduced ability to access capital markets on acceptable terms (or at all), and a decline in the market price of our securities. Delisting could also trigger defaults or other adverse consequences under certain agreements, increase the costs and burdens of regulatory compliance, and impair our ability to attract and retain employees and business partners.
