These securities of the Company are held of record by Freebird Partners. Freebird Investments serves as the general partner of Freebird Partners. Curtis W.

The Note may be converted at any time and from time to time after December 15, 2023, at the option of the holder, at a conversion price of $1.9194 per share of Common Stock, to the extent that after giving effect to such conversion the Reporting Persons and their affiliates would beneficially own, for purposes of Section 13(d) of Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), no more than 19.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company.
