As of November 13, 2024, District 2 CF beneficially owned 150,000 shares of Common Stock. In addition, District 2 CF owned Warrants and Convertible Notes each of which contain a 4.99% beneficial ownership limitation.

District 2, as the investment manager of District 2 CF, may be deemed to beneficially own the 150,000 shares beneficially owned by District 2 CF and the Warrants and Convertible Notes beneficially owned by District 2 CF.

District 2 GP, as the general partner of District 2 CF, may be deemed to beneficially own the 150,000 shares beneficially owned by District 2 CF and the Warrants and the Convertible Notes beneficially owned by District 2 CF.

Each of District 2, District 2 GP, District 2 Holdings and Mr. Bigger disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares 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 4,444,364 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of August 19, 2024, as reported in the Company’s Form 10-Q for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

As of the close of business on November 13, 2024, (i) each of Bigger Capital and Bigger GP may be deemed to beneficially own approximately 3.4% of the outstanding shares, (ii) each of District 2 CF, District 2, District 2 GP and District 2 Holdings may be deemed to beneficially own 3.4% of the outstanding shares, and (iii) Mr. Bigger may be deemed to beneficially own approximately 6.8% of the outstanding shares.

Pursuant to the terms of the Warrants and Convertible Notes, the Reporting Persons cannot exercise the Warrants or convert the Convertible Notes to the extent the Reporting Persons or affiliates of the Reporting Persons would beneficially own, after any such exercise, more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares (the “Blockers”), and the numbers in rows 6, 8 and 9 and percentage set forth in Row 11 of the cover page for each Reporting Person as well the information in this Item 4(b) gives effect to the Blockers. Mr. Bigger may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares. Consequently, as of the date of the event which requires the filing of this statement, the Reporting Persons were not able to exercise any of the Warrants or convert any of the Convertible Notes due to the Blockers.
