On April 7, 2021, the Issuer issued the Reporting Person 20,910 shares of common stock valued at $6.14 per share, in consideration for compensation due as a member of the Board of Directors of the Issuer. The shares were issued pursuant to the Issuer’s 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”).

On September 30, 2021, the Issuer entered into a Debt Conversion Agreement with the Reporting Person, pursuant to which the parties agreed to convert an aggregate of $819,818 owed by the Issuer to the Reporting Person, for advances previously made to the Issuer’s subsidiaries, into an aggregate of 136,636 shares of common stock of the Issuer. The agreed upon conversion price of the conversion of the debt described above was the greater of the closing consolidated bid price or the market price on the date the conversion agreement was entered into, and $6.00 per share, provided that because $6.00 was above the closing consolidated bid price and the market price, the conversion price was fixed at $6.00 per share.

Such shares were issued pursuant to the Plan and valued at $3.95 per share, the closing sales price on the date of grant.
