Risk factors and legal proceedings

The risks Vystar Corp names in Item 1A of its 10-K filed Apr 15, 2026: 19 risks under these headings, as written.³

• Vystar presently does not generate the cash needed to finance its current and anticipated operations.
• We face significant competition from multinational and regional manufacturers.
• We are dependent upon the ability of our third-party producers to meet our requirements.
• Our Vytex operating results could fluctuate and differ considerably from our financial forecasts.
• Our Vytex NRL business is totally dependent on market demand for, and acceptance of, the Vytex Natural Rubber Latex process.
• Our ability to generate significant revenue in the Vytex business is substantially dependent upon the willingness of consumers to make discretionary purchases and the willingness of manufacturers to utilize capital for research and development and the retooling of their manufacturing process, both of which are impacted by the state of the economy.
• The latex market in which we will participate is competitive and if we do not compete effectively, our operating results may be harmed.
• Our Vytex revenue will vary based on fluctuations in commodity prices for NRL.
• While Vytex NRL has received 510(k) clearance from the FDA for condoms and exam gloves, there is no assurance that future applications will be cleared.
• Vytex may seek to have lower protein claims than what is currently on the market today for exam gloves and may ultimately seek to have latex warnings removed from or modified on all FDA-regulated products, but it cannot guarantee that either of such actions will be approved by the FDA.
• Manufacturers are implementing trials of Vytex NRL in their facilities but final data is not yet available from all these manufacturers on its viability for their particular environments.
• Our use of foreign sources of production for a portion of our products exposes us to certain additional risks associated with international operations.

Legal proceedings

EMA Financial

On February 19, 2019, EMA Financial, Inc. filed a lawsuit in the Southern District of New York against the Company. The lawsuit alleged various breaches of an underlying convertible promissory note and stock purchase agreement and sought four claims for relief: (i) specific performance to enforce a stock conversion and contractual obligations; (ii) breach of contract; (iii) permanent injunction to enforce the stock conversion and contractual obligations; and (iv) legal fees and costs of the litigation. The complaint was filed with a motion seeking: (i) a preliminary injunction seeking an immediate resolution of the case through the stock conversion; (ii) a consolidation of the trial with the preliminary injunctive hearing; and (iii) summary judgment on the first and third claims for relief.

The Company filed an opposition to the motion and upon oral argument the motion for injunctive relief was denied. The Court issued a decision permitting a motion for summary judgment to proceed and permitted the Company the opportunity to supplement its opposition papers together with the plaintiff who was also provided opportunity to submit reply papers. On April 5, 2019, the Company filed the opposition papers as well as a motion to dismiss the first and third causes of action in the complaint. On March 13, 2020, the Court granted the Company’s motion dismissing the first and third claims for relief and denied the motion for summary judgment as moot.
