*	The remainder of this cover page shall be filled out for a reporting person’s initial filing on this form with respect to the subject class of securities, and for any subsequent amendment containing information which would alter the disclosures provided in a prior cover page.

The information required on the remainder of this cover page shall not be deemed to be “filed” for the purpose of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section of the Exchange Act but shall be subject to all other provisions of the Exchange Act (however, see the Notes).

CUSIP No. 114082100

(1)

Represents (i) 452,284 shares of common stock, par value $0.005 per share (the “Common Stock”) of Eterna Therapeutics Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”) held by the John D. Halpern Revocable Trust (the “Trust”), a trust which the Reporting Person and Katherine H. Halpern are trustees, and (ii) 98,610 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise or conversion, as applicable, of the Trust Derivative Securities (as defined below). The Trust acquired 671,840 warrants (the “December 2022 Warrants) from the Issuer in a private placement, each of which became exercisable on June 2, 2023 to purchase one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $3.28 per share. On July 14, 2023, the Trust acquired from the Issuer in a private placement (the “July 2023 PIPE”): (i) $1,000,000 in principal amount of the Issuer’s 6.0% Senior Convertible Promissory Notes due July 2028 (the “July Note”) and (ii) 699,300 warrants, each exercisable to purchase one share of the Common Stock, at an exercise price of $2.61 per share (the “July 2023 Warrants”). The July Note may be converted into shares of Common Stock at a conversion price of $2.86 per share, subject to customary adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends and recapitalizations, as set forth in the Note. On December 15, 2023, the Trust acquired from the Issuer in a private placement: (i) $1,000,000 in principal amount of the issuer’s 12.0% Senior Convertible Promissory Notes due December 2028 (the “December Note”) and (ii) 1,041,992 warrants, each exercisable to purchase one share of Common Stock, at an exercise price of $1.43 per share (the “December 2023 Warrants”, together with the the December 2022 Warrants, July Note, July 2023 Warrants and December Note, the “Trust Derivative Securities”). The December Note may be converted into shares of Common Stock at a conversion price of $1.9194 per share, subject to customary adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends and recapitalizations, as set forth in the Note. The Trust may not exercise or convert, as applicable, the Trust Derivative Securities to the extent that the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Trust or any other person with whom shares of Common Stock would be aggregated for purposes of determining beneficial ownership under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), would exceed 9.99% immediately after exercise or conversion thereof. Therefore, the Trust beneficially owns 98,610 shares of Common Stock underlying the Trust Derivative Securities, the balance of which the Trust does not have the right to acquire.

(2)

Such percentage is based on an aggregate of (i) 5,410,331 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer outstanding as of November 10, 2023, as reported in the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2023, filed with the SEC on November 13, 2023, plus (ii) 98,610 shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Trust Derivative Securities that are convertible or exercisable within 60 days, which are deemed outstanding pursuant to Rule 13d-3(d)(1)(i) of the Exchange Act.

Halpern are trustees. Accordingly, John D. Halpern and Katherine H. Halpern share beneficial ownership of the Trust. See footnote (1) of the facing page for John D. Halpern for details.
