Item 4. Ownership.

The information required by this item with respect to each Reporting Person is set forth in Rows 5 through 9 and 11 of the cover pages to this Amendment No. 3 and is incorporated herein by reference for each such Reporting Person. The ownership percentages reported are based on (i) 534,238 shares of Common Stock outstanding as reported in the Issuer’s Registration Statement on Form S-1, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on January 30, 2024, (ii) 36,914 shares of Common Stock issuable upon full exercise of common stock purchase warrants held by Ionic, which are subject to a 9.99% beneficial ownership blocker, (iii) 3,087 shares of Common Stock issuable upon full exercise of Series A purchase warrants held by Ionic (the “Series A Warrants”), which further exercises thereof are subject to a 4.99% beneficial ownership blocker, and (iv) 3,087 shares of Common Stock issuable upon full exercise of Series B purchase warrants held by Ionic (the “Series B Warrants”), which further exercises thereof are subject to a 4.99% beneficial ownership blocker (such warrants described in (ii), (iii) and (iv), collectively, the “Warrants”).

Ionic holds the Warrants exercisable for up to an aggregate of 43,088 shares of Common Stock, of which 6,174 shares are not deemed beneficially owned by Ionic as a result of the triggering of the 4.99% beneficial ownership limitation in each of the Series A Warrants and the Series B Warrants, which prohibits Ionic from exercising each of the Series A Warrants and the Series B Warrants if, as a result of such exercise, the holder, together with its affiliates and any persons acting as a group together with such holder or any of such affiliates, would beneficially own more than 4.99% of the total number of shares of Common Stock then issued and outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise.

Ionic is the beneficial owner of 36,914 shares of Common Stock (the “Shares”). Ionic has the power to dispose of and the power to vote the Shares beneficially owned by it, which power may be exercised by its manager, Ionic Management. Each of the managers of Ionic Management, Mr. O’Neil and Mr. Coulston, has shared power to vote and/or dispose of the Shares beneficially owned by Ionic and Ionic Management. Neither Mr. O’Neil nor Mr. Coulston directly owns the Shares. By reason of the provisions of Rule 13d-3 of the Act, each of Mr. O’Neil and Mr. Coulston may be deemed to beneficially own the Shares which are beneficially owned by each of Ionic and Ionic Management, and Ionic Management may be deemed to beneficially own the Shares which are beneficially owned by Ionic.

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 ☐.
