Provide the following information regarding the aggregate number and percentage of the class of securities of the issuer identified in Item 1.

* 13,703,727 shares consisting of the direct ownership of 0 shares of Class A Common Stock plus the deemed ownership of 13,703,727 shares of Class A Common Stock that the reporting person has the right to acquire within 60 days of the date of the report.

** Calculation based on 137,174,440 outstanding shares of the issuer’s Class A Common Stock, consisting of 123,470,713 shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding as of December 21, 2023 as reported in the Issuer’s DEF 14A and an additional 13,703,727 shares of Class A Common Stock that the reporting person has the right to acquire within 60 days of the date of the report.

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 ¨.

The reporting persons directly or indirectly own an aggregate of 39,567,350* or 9.99%, of the Class A Common Stock of the Company as of the date of this filing. YA II and the other reporting persons shared the power to vote and dispose any such shares of Class A Common Stock.

Direct beneficial ownership of such Class A Common Stock by the reporting persons is as follows (and therefore excludes any shares of Class A Common Stock indirectly held by such person or any securities, such as warrants, which may be exercised or converted into Class A Common Stock of the Company):

Indirect beneficial ownership: YA II PN, Ltd. (“YA II”) entered into a Standby Equity Purchase Agreement (“SEPA”) with the issuer dated as of November 11, 2022. Under the SEPA, the issuer has the option to sell shares of its Class A Common Stock to YA II, and YA II is obligated to purchase such shares, at a price and on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the SEPA. Under the SEPA, the issuer is prohibited from selling shares to YA II to the extent that it would cause the aggregate number of shares of Class A Common Stock beneficially owned by YA II and its affiliates to exceed 9.99% of the shares of Class A Common Stock of the issuer. In addition to the direct beneficial ownership set forth above, each reporting person is also deemed to be the indirect beneficial owner of additional 13,703,727* shares of Class A Common Stock that the issuer has the right to sell to the reporting persons under a SEPA within 60 days of the date of this filing.

Below is a description of the relationship among the reporting persons:

YA II PN, Ltd. (“YA II”) is beneficially owned by YA Global Investments II (U.S.), LP (the “YA Feeder”). Yorkville Advisors Global, LP (the “YA Advisor”) is the investment manager to YA II. Yorkville Advisors Global II, LLC (the “YA Advisor GP”) is the general partner to the YA Advisor. YAII GP, LP (the “YA GP”) is the general partner to the YA Feeder. YAII GP II, LLC (the “Yorkville GP”) is the general partner to the YA GP. Mark Angelo makes the investment decisions on behalf of YA II. Accordingly, each of YA II, YA Feeder, the YA Advisor, the YA Advisor GP, the YA GP, the Yorkville GP and Mark Angelo may be deemed affiliates and therefore may be deemed to beneficially own the same number of Class A Common Shares.

For purposes of this filing, each of the reporting persons is deemed an affiliate of each other reporting person.
