| The percentages used in this Schedule 13G/A are calculated based upon 10,201,757 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of November 10, 2023, as reported in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2023 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 13, 2023. The percentage set forth on row (11) and the number of shares of Common Stock set forth on rows (6), (8) and (9) of the cover page for each Reporting Person are based on the Company's total number of outstanding shares of Common Stock and assume the exercise of warrants and the conversion of shares of convertible preferred stock held by Hudson Bay Master Fund Ltd. (collectively, the "Securities"), subject to the 9.99% Blocker (as defined below). | |
| Pursuant to the terms of the Securities, the Reporting Persons cannot exercise or convert such Securities if the Reporting Persons would beneficially own, after such exercise or conversion, more than 9.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (the "9.99% Blocker").

As such, the Investment Manager may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of all shares of Common Stock, subject to the 9.99% Blocker, underlying the Securities held by Hudson Bay Master Fund Ltd. Mr. Gerber serves as the managing member of Hudson Bay Capital GP LLC, which is the general partner of the Investment Manager. Mr. Gerber disclaims beneficial ownership of these securities. |
