This Amendment No. 3 amends and supplements the Schedule 13D as specifically set forth herein. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined in this Amendment No. 3 have the meanings set forth in the Schedule 13D.
Item 4. Purpose of the Transaction
Item 4 is hereby amended and supplemented to include the following information:
On May 24, 2024, Mr. Harborne delivered a non-binding letter (the “Proposal Letter”) to the board of directors of the Company proposing a transaction under which Mr. Harborne would acquire all of the Shares not already owned by Mr. Harborne at a price of $7.25 per share in cash.
No assurances can be given that a transaction will be consummated. The Proposal Letter provides that no legally binding obligation with respect to a transaction will exist unless and until mutually acceptable definitive documentation has been executed and delivered with respect thereto.
The foregoing description of the Proposal Letter does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Proposal Letter, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2 and which is incorporated herein by reference.

Such Shares represent approximately 14.9% of the outstanding Shares of the Company. Klear Kite and Mr. Harborne share voting power and investment power over all such Shares.
For purposes of this Item 5(a) and (b), the percentages are calculated based upon (x) the number of Shares beneficially owned by each Reporting Person, divided by (y) 17,493,705 Shares outstanding as of May 10, 2024, as reported in the Company’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on May 14, 2024.
