As more fully described in Item 4, the secured convertible promissory notes and Warrants are subject to a 9.99% blocker, and the percentage set forth in row (11) gives effect to such blockers. However, as more fully described in Item 4, the securities reported in rows (6), (8) and (9) show the number of shares of Common Stock that would be issuable upon the exercise of all such Warrants and do not give effect to such blockers. Therefore, the actual number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Reporting Person, after giving effect to such blockers, is less than the number of securities reported in rows (6), (8) and (9).

As of December 31, 2021, Bigger Capital beneficially owned an aggregate of 681,818 shares issuable upon conversion of a secured convertible promissory note with a conversion price of $2.20 per share (the “Note(s)”) and an aggregate of 409,091 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of Warrants (collectively the “Warrants”). As described below, the Notes and Warrants contain a 9.99% beneficial ownership limitation.

Bigger GP, as the general partner of Bigger Capital, may be deemed to beneficially own the 681,818 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of a Note and 409,091 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of Warrants held by Bigger Capital.

District 2, as the investment manager of District 2 CF, may be deemed to beneficially own 681,818 shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of a Note and the 409,091 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants beneficially owned by District 2 CF.

District 2 GP, as the general partner of District 2 CF, may be deemed to beneficially own the 681,818 shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of a Note and the 409,091 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants held by District 2 CF.

District 2 Holdings, as the managing member of District 2 GP, may be deemed to beneficially own 681,818 shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of a Note and the 409,091 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants held by District 2 CF.

Mr. Bigger, as the managing member of Bigger GP and the managing member of District 2 Holdings, may be deemed to beneficially own the (i) 681,818 shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Bigger Capital, issuable upon conversion of a Note, (ii) 681,818 shares of Common Stock owned by District 2 CF, issuable upon conversion of a Note, (iii) 409,091 shares of Common Stock, issuable upon exercise of Warrants owned by Bigger Capital and (iv) 409,091 shares of Common Stock, issuable upon exercise of Warrants owned by District 2 CF.

The foregoing should not be construed in and of itself as an admission by any Reporting Person as to beneficial ownership of any shares of Common Stock owned by another Reporting Person. Each of Bigger GP and Mr. Bigger disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Bigger Capital. Each of District 2, District 2 GP, District 2 Holdings and Mr. Bigger disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by District 2 CF. The filing of this statement shall not be construed as an admission that any such person or entity is the beneficial owner of any such securities.

The following percentages are based on 15,811,450 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of February 4, 2022 as reported in a Prospectus filed by the Issuer with the Securities Exchange Commission on February 4, 2022.

As of the close of business on December 31, 2021, (i) each of Bigger Capital and Bigger GP may be deemed to beneficially own approximately 6.5% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, (ii) each of District 2 CF, District 2, District 2 GP and District 2 Holdings may be deemed to beneficially own 6.5% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock and (iii) Mr. Bigger may be deemed to beneficially own approximately 9.9 % of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.

Pursuant to the terms of the Notes and Warrants, the Reporting Persons cannot exercise the Warrants to the extent the Reporting Persons or affiliates of the Reporting Persons would beneficially own, after any such exercise, more than 9.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (the “Blockers”), and the percentage set forth in Row 11 of the cover page for Mr. Bigger as well in this Item 4(b) gives effect to the Blockers. Mr. Bigger may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of more than 9.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. Consequently, as of the date of the event which requires the filing of this statement, the Reporting Persons were not able to convert or exercise all of the Notes and Warrants due to the Blockers.
