| Item 5. | Interest in Securities of the Issuer | |
| (a) | The information set forth in rows 7 through 13 of the cover pages to this Schedule 13D is incorporated by reference. The ownership percentages reported are based on (i) 58,573,191 outstanding shares of Common Stock, as reported in the Issuer's prospectus supplement filed on January 12, 2026, plus (ii) the shares of Common Stock underlying Warrants held by the Reporting Persons that are currently exercisable.

| Item 6. | Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer | |
Item 6 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended to include the following:
Purchase Agreement and Warrants
On January 9, 2026, the Company entered into securities purchase agreements (the "Purchase Agreements") with certain investors (the "Investors"), including Flagship Fund VII, relating to the issuance and sale of 2,030,314 shares of its common stock, par value $0.0001 per share ("Common Stock") and, in lieu of Common Stock, 2026 Pre-Funded Warrants to purchase 5,421,250 shares of Common Stock. The Company sold the shares of Common Stock and 2026 Pre-Funded Warrants together with two series of warrants, Series 1 Warrants and Series 2 Warrants, to purchase an aggregate of 7,451,564 shares of the Common Stock. The 2026 Pre-Funded Warrants are exercisable immediately upon issuance at an initial exercise price of $0.0001 per share and have a term of 20 years. The shares of Common Stock, or 2026 Pre-Funded Warrants, and the accompanying Series Warrants are immediately separable and were issued separately, but were purchased together in the January 2026 Offering.
The Series Warrants are immediately exercisable. Each Series 1 Warrant has an initial exercise price of $13.42 per share of Common Stock, subject to certain adjustments, and expires on June 30, 2027. Each Series 2 Warrant has an initial exercise price of $20.13 per share of Common Stock, subject to certain adjustments, and expires on December 31, 2030. For the Series Warrants, the Investor may elect to receive, in lieu of shares of Common Stock, pre-funded warrants to purchase an equivalent number of shares of Common Stock. The number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of the 2026 Pre-Funded Warrants, Series 1 Warrants and Series 2 Warrants is limited to the extent necessary to ensure that, following such exercise, the total number of shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by the holder and its affiliates does not exceed 19.99% (but only if exceeding such limit would result in a change of control under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(b) or any successor rule) of the total number of then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (including for such purpose the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise).
Subject to certain exclusions, if, prior to the June 30, 2027, the Company sells shares of capital stock or derivative securities convertible into or exercisable for capital stock in one or more related transactions primarily for the purpose of raising capital at a Weighted-Average Price (as described below) below $13.42 per share, then the initial exercise price of a Series Warrant will be automatically reset upon exercise to an exercise price (the "Adjusted Exercise Price") that is the midpoint between the initial exercise price and the lowest Weighted-Average Price per share at which the Company sells capital stock or derivative securities convertible into or exercisable for capital stock in a subsequent offering prior to the exercise date; provided, however, that the Adjusted Exercise Price will not be reduced below $6.71 per share. The "Weighted-Average Price" shall be calculated as the weighted-average common stock equivalent price of the equity securities sold in such transaction(s) (excluding any derivative securities with an exercise or conversion price that is above the closing sale price as of the time of pricing such offering(s)). In no event will the exercise price for a Series Warrant be adjusted more than once pursuant to this adjustment mechanism.
The offering price for the shares of Common Stock is $6.71 per share (or $6.7099 for each 2026 Pre-Funded Warrant, which equals the price per share of the Common Stock less the exercise price of the 2026 Pre-Funded Warrants). The aggregate gross proceeds to the Company from this offering were approximately $50.0 million, excluding any proceeds the Company may receive upon exercise of the 2026 Pre-Funded Warrants and Series Warrants. No underwriter or placement agent participated in the offering.
The number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of the 2026 Pre-Funded Warrants and the exercise price and the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of the Series Warrants are subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of specific events, including stock dividends, stock splits, reclassifications and combinations of the Company's Common Stock.
The offering was made pursuant to an effective registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration Statement No. 333-284476), as previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and a related prospectus. The January 2026 Offering closed on January 13, 2026.
The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements by the Company, customary conditions to closing, indemnification obligations of the Company and the Investors. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Purchase Agreement were made only for purposes of such agreements and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreement, and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties.
The form of Purchase Agreement, form of 2026 Pre-Funded Warrant and the form of Series Warrant are filed as Exhibit 99.7, Exhibit 99.8 and Exhibit 99.9, respectively, and the description of the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the 2026 Pre-Funded Warrants and the Series Warrants are qualified in their entirety by reference to such exhibit.
