CYBERDIVE IRG

March 27, 2026 Dear Cyberdive Investor, My name is Rick Rabuck, and like you, our family made a good faith investment in Cyberdive. We now find ourselves in the unfortunate position of attempting to recover some, if not all, of that investment. To preface, my intention in reaching out is twofold. First, to ensure that Mr. Jeff Gottfurcht is held fully accountable under the law for any and all misconduct to the maximum extent possible. This is not just a matter of financial loss, but of trust. His actions, if proven, have caused harm not only to investors, but to his colleagues, his firm, his honorable family, and the shareholders who supported him. While that process must and will take its course through the proper legal channels, it is important to acknowledge the broader impact of what has occurred. That said, this effort will not organize itself. It will require leadership, coordination, and a willingness to take action. In my opinion, the absence of a coordinated response at this stage is both frustrating and no longer sustainable given the magnitude of what has occurred. If there is an investor, or group of investors, with the experience, resources, or conviction to help organize and lead efforts related to pursuing potential criminal or civil action against Jeff, I would strongly encourage you to step forward. These efforts need to be coordinated, properly structured, and pursued through the appropriate legal channels, and continuing to operate in a fragmented or passive manner only benefits those who created this situation in the first place. Second, to open a constructive and productive dialogue between investors, both large and small, as well as Cyberdive stakeholders and board members, with the goal of evaluating and implementing a fiscally sound and strategically vetted path forward. In its initial and urgent phase, this would include a shareholder-elected Board of Directors, which would then nominate and appoint an interim or long-term CEO to lead what I hope can be a successful and financially meaningful restructuring of Cyberdive’s management, brand, and business objectives, acknowledging that the obstacles are significant. I reached out to Derek last week to share my thoughts regarding a restructuring of Cyberdive with shareholder oversight. In hindsight, I may have been insensitive and overly aggressive in my approach and I am not sure that I communicated clearly that my objective was to support business continuity and growth and that I was on both his side as well as the shareholders. However, I believe my outreach may have been perceived as a hostile action or a vote of no confidence, which was not my intent. I also recognize that, given the nature of what has occurred and the level of betrayal involved, Derek may understandably be cautious in response to any outreach or offers of help. That said, in my opinion, the company cannot succeed without Derek leading the technology and product development efforts. The best analogy I can offer is that Cyberdive without Derek would be like Apple without Steve Jobs. Given the situation we are in, I believe corporate prudence requires that current management and the Board acknowledge that investors must play a larger role in establishing a revised governance structure, both at the Board and executive level, and that this process should be encouraged and facilitated by current management with a sense of urgency. I would envision this as leadership emerging from outside of Cyberdive, as it is clear that existing internal resources need to remain focused on addressing the company’s immediate operational crisis. As an aside, I personally have no objection to current Board members participating in a newly structured Board and would encourage it, as their past contributions deserve recognition. Ultimately, however, these decisions belong to the investor group as a whole. It is also important to acknowledge that anyone stepping into a leadership, board, or oversight role may be exposed to potential legal and financial risks, including, but not limited to, reported approximate $3 million tax exposure. For that reason, in my opinion, any such participation must be accompanied by appropriate indemnification protections, including the implementation of Directors and Officers (D&O) insurance, and a clear understanding of the scope of liability. Without these safeguards in place, it will be difficult to attract qualified individuals willing to step forward in a meaningful way. This is of import. ******************* While I understand the factors driving discussions of a potential fire sale, I want to go on record as opposing any immediate sale of intellectual property or proprietary assets. In my view, sound corporate governance requires that any such action be subject to a formal Board vote and careful evaluation. ********************** There are several areas that require immediate attention and input. This is not my area of expertise, and I welcome input from anyone with professional experience, particularly with respect to regulatory considerations. Based on my review of available information, it appears that shares may not have been issued consistently relative to investment amounts. I am seeing indications of share pricing ranging from approximately $0.33 to $30.00 per share under what appears to be a single class of common stock. On its face, this raises serious concerns, both ethical and potentially legal, and may have been the result of actions taken by Jeff. This issue is urgent, as it directly impacts our ability to equitably allocate voting rights among investors, and without a clear and accurate share allocation, it will not be possible to conduct a fair or valid investor vote.

I also do not believe that Cyberdive’s internal records alone are sufficient to construct an accurate cap table. The only reliable way to complete a proper share audit will be for each investor to provide their own documentation, including records of wire transfers, checks, or other proof of investment, so that a verified and reconciled record can be established. Without this collective effort, any attempt at reconstruction will likely be incomplete. To that end, I would ask that all investors begin compiling and preparing documentation of their investments, including wire confirmations, cancelled checks, or other supporting records, as this will be essential to any accurate reconstruction of ownership. These observations are intended only as an initial outline of urgent issues that require immediate attention. They are not exhaustive, and the path forward will require significantly more work, input, and coordination than can be captured here. That said, time is a critical factor, and delaying action while attempting to fully define every aspect of the process will only increase the risk of further loss. In my opinion, we must begin addressing the most pressing issues now while continuing to refine the broader strategy in parallel. This effort will only succeed if we act collectively, and not as isolated individuals. The issues we are facing are numerous, many of them critical, and cannot be fully addressed in a single communication. To begin organizing these efforts, I have created a preliminary Cyberdive Investors Recovery Group website, which includes a working structure and initial content to facilitate discussion and coordination. It is important to clarify that this website is not affiliated with Cyberdive, Inc. in any way and does not represent the company, its management, or its Board. It should be viewed solely as a starting point for discussion. The site is in a preliminary state and contains placeholder content, omissions, and incomplete information that will require refinement and validation. The materials presented are intended only as suggested frameworks for how we may proceed and should not be viewed as final, complete, or prescriptive. I would encourage you to visit the site, review the materials, and, if you are willing, register your information and participate in the upcoming discussions outlined in the calendar section. Broad participation will be critical to establishing an accurate record and determining a viable path forward. I am open to, and strongly encourage, critique, comments, and input from fellow investors as we work through these issues. Constructive dialogue will be essential if we are going to arrive at a solution that is both fair and effective. I also want to be clear that I am not officially applying for any position within the company, paid or unpaid, and I am not accepting any fiduciary responsibility at this point. I remain open to considering such a role at a later stage if it is appropriate and in the best interest of the investor group. I am semi-retired and have other business interests that provide me with flexibility. I am using myself only as a placeholder in the event that no other qualified leadership emerges.I make no claim that I am the right long-term solution. My objective is straightforward: to recover my family’s investment and to help create a viable path for others to do the same. At this stage, I have not seen an organized plan presented to investors, and absent that, I believe it is incumbent upon us to begin the process. Participation in any effort is entirely voluntary, and I would encourage all investors to seek independent legal, financial, and tax advice before making any decisions. This communication is intended solely for informational and discussion purposes among Cyberdive investors and stakeholders. It does not constitute legal, financial, or investment advice, nor does it represent any formal offer, solicitation, or commitment to take any specific action. The views expressed herein are my own and are based on currently available information, which may be incomplete or subject to change. No representations or warranties are made as to the accuracy or completeness of any statements, and no reliance should be placed on this communication as a complete statement of facts or circumstances.
