NOTE 1: Cowen Prime Advisors LLC (“CPA”) is a registered investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. In its role as investment adviser, CPA possesses discretionary investment authority to determine the identity and amount of securities to be bought and sold, including the securities reported in this schedule. All securities reported in this schedule are owned by various clients, who have retained sole proxy voting authority over all of the shares. However, CPA has sole authority to dispose of the position as appropriate. The filing of this Schedule 13G should not be construed as an admission that CPA or any of its affiliates is the beneficial owner of any securities covered by this Schedule 13G for any purpose other than filings required to be made under Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and related rules.

NOTE 2: CPA reported this issuer and the same total number of shares beneficially owned by CPA as discretionary investment manager in the Information Table filed by CPA as part of its 4th quarter 2022 Form 13F filing. Source used for Shares Outstanding is Q4 2022 10-Q.

NOTE 3: Mr. Andrew Wiener, one of the portfolio managers of the CPA Samjo Investment Program (“SI”), is also the sole Managing Member of Samjo Capital, LLC and Samjo Management, LLC which serve as the General Partner and Management Company, respectively, of Samjo Partners, LP, an investment partnership (hedge fund) and HAFF Partners LP, a family investment partnership, both of which employ investment strategies that are similar to those employed in the CPA SI program. Samjo Capital, LLC, Samjo Management, LLC, Samjo Partners, LP and HAFF Partners LP are not affiliated with CPA. Mr. Wiener, along with his fellow CPA SI portfolio managers identified below, is responsible for the decision to invest client accounts of CPA SI in shares of this issuer. In addition to Mr. Wiener’s portfolio management responsibilities for CPA SI, Mr. Wiener may invest, and from time to time has, invested assets of his non-CPA clients in shares of this same issuer. However, because these non-CPA clients are an unaffiliated outside business activity of Mr. Wiener over which CPA has no control or other relationship, CPA does not make joint filings with respect to any shares of the issuer held by any non-CPA clients. To the best of CPA’s knowledge and belief, Mr. Wiener reports the ownership of shares by such non-CPA clients separately to the extent required and is identified as the reporting person.

Mr. David Drucker is one of the portfolio managers of the CPA SI program. Mr. Drucker shares investment discretion with Mr. Wiener with respect to the decision to invest client accounts of CPA SI in shares of this issuer.

Mr. Irwin Silverberg is the portfolio managers of CPA I.S. Value Program (“ISV”). Mr. Silverberg shares investment discretion with Mr. Bernstein with respect to the decision to invest client accounts of CPA ISV in shares of this issuer.

Mr. Jeffrey Bernstein is one of the portfolio managers of CPA I.S. Value Program (“ISV”). Mr. Bernstein shares investment discretion with Mr. Silverberg with respect to the decision to invest client accounts of CPA ISV in shares of this issuer.

NOTE 4: In July 2021, Cowen Prime Advisors LLC filed a Succession By Amendment to Cowen Prime Services LLC. Cowen Prime Advisors LLC is now a stand-alone SEC Registered Advisor and Regulatory Filings (Form 13F, Form 13G, etc.) will be reflected accordingly. In August 2021, Cowen Prime Services LLC merged with Cowen and Company, LLC and Form BDW was approved December 2021. Cowen Prime Services LLC is no longer a registered broker-dealer or registered advisor.

Item 5.

Ownership of Five Percent or Less of a Class.

If this statement is being filed to report the fact that as of the date hereof the reporting person has ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent of the class of securities, check the following [X].

Item 6.

Ownership of more than Five Percent on Behalf of Another Person.

The securities as to which this Schedule is filed by CPA, in its capacity as investment adviser, are owned of record by individual clients. The clients have the right to receive, or the power to direct the receipt of, dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, such securities. To the best of CPA’s knowledge and belief, no such client is known to have such right or power with respect to more than five percent of this class of securities. The filing of this statement shall not be construed as an admission that CPA is, for the purposes of sections 13(d) or 13(g) of the Act, the beneficial owner of any securities covered by the statement.

Item 7.

Identification and classification of the subsidiary which acquired the security being reported on by the parent holding company or control person.
