Item 5.02. Departures of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

As previously reported in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2025 (the "Affiliate's 10-Q"), for Drugs Made In America Acquisition II Corp. (the "Affiliate"), an affiliate of Drugs Made In America Acquisition Corp. (the "Company"), between the completion of the Affiliate's initial public offering on September 26, 2025 and September 30, 2025, the sponsor to the Affiliate (the "Sponsor") withdrew an aggregate amount of $1,100,000 (the "Withdrawal") from the Affiliate's working capital account (the "Account"). Of the aggregate Withdrawal amount, $325,000 was used to repay an outstanding working capital note (the "Note") to the Sponsor and $208,000 was used to repay other offering costs and expenses to the Sponsor, which amounts, in aggregate, were above the amounts previously advanced by the Sponsor to the Affiliate under the Note. An additional amount of $566,269 also appeared in the financial statements in the Affiliate's 10-Q as an overpayment to the Sponsor by the Affiliate and between September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2025, the Sponsor withdrew additional funds from the Account, in an amount no less than $200,000 to pay for expenses unrelated to the Affiliate (the "Overpayment Amount"). On February 12, 2026, after the board of directors of the Affiliate (the "Affiliate Board") directed the Sponsor to return the full Overpayment Amount, the Affiliate Board and the Affiliate's Chief Financial Officer (the "Affiliate CFO") learned that Sponsor would not be able to repay the Overpayment Amount back to the Affiliate.
