*On October 4, 2023, the Issuer closed a private placement pursuant to which it sold and issued (i) 7,500 shares of Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Series A-1 Preferred Stock”), (ii) tranche A warrants (the “Preferred Tranche A Warrants”) to purchase shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock or Series A-3 Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Series A-3 Preferred Stock”), (iii) tranche B warrants to purchase shares of Series A-3 Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Tranche B Warrants”), and (iv) tranche C warrants to purchase Series A-3 Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Tranche C Warrants” and together with the Preferred Tranche A Warrants and Preferred Tranche B Warrants, the “Preferred Warrants” and the shares underlying the Preferred Warrants, the “Preferred Warrant Shares”).
Subject to the Stockholder Approval (as defined below) , each share of Series A-1 Preferred Stock converts automatically into shares of Common Stock and/or shares of Series A-2 Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Series A-2 Preferred Stock” and together with the Series A-1 Preferred Stock, the “Issued Preferred Stock”) in lieu of Common Stock if the holder, together with certain related parties, would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% or 9.99% (at the discretion of the holder) of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion (the “Blocker”). The Blocker may be increased up to 19.99% or decreased by the holder upon 61 days’ notice to the Issuer. Subject to the Stockholder Approval, each share of Series A-2 Preferred Stock and Series A-3 Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of Common Stock at the option of the holder. The Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient of the original price of $1,000 per share divided by the conversion price of $0.63 per share.
The Series A-1 Preferred Stock, Series A-2 Preferred Stock, and Series A-3 Preferred Stock will not become convertible until the Company’s stockholders approve (i) the issuance of all Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Issued Preferred Stock and the Preferred Warrant Shares, (ii) the issuance of the Preferred Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Preferred Warrants, and (iii) an amendment to the Issuer’s certificate of incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock from 490,000,000 to 800,000,000 (the “Stockholder Approval”).
As of October 4, 2023, Commodore Master owns (i) 1,154 shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock convertible into 1,831,746 shares of Common Stock, (ii) Tranche A Warrants to purchase 10,846 shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock or Series A-3 Preferred Stock convertible into 17,215,873 shares of Common Stock, (iii) Tranche B Warrants to purchase 8,000 shares of Series A-3 Preferred Stock convertible into 12,698,412 shares of Common Stock, and (iv) Tranche C Warrants to purchase 20,000 shares of Series A-3 Preferred Stock convertible into 31,746,031 shares of Common Stock. Pursuant to the Blocker, the Firm’s beneficial ownership in the Issuer is currently limited to 9.99%.

The Firm, as the investment manager to Commodore Master, may be deemed to beneficially own these securities.
