APPENDIX  A

 

Michael Parker owns outright 1,380,891 shares of Common Stock.  He also is the sole manager of Tungsten III LLC, which owns outright 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock, and as a result, Mr. Parker may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of these shares.  Mr. Parker also is the spouse of Ana Parker, who owns outright 9,086,939 shares.  Because Mr. Parker shares with Mrs. Parker the voting and dispositive power over these 9,086,939 shares, Mr. Parker may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of these shares as well.  As a result, Mr. Parker may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of a total of 15,467,830 shares.   

 

Ana Parker owns outright 9,086,939 shares over which she shares voting and dispositive power with her spouse, Michael Parker.  Mrs. Parker disclaims any beneficial ownership of any shares owned by Mr. Parker outright or over which Mr. Parker has voting or dispositive power.  Mrs. Parker disclaims any beneficial ownership of any of the 1,583,333 shares of Common Stock that may be acquired upon the exercise of Series E Warrants (which expire May 26, 2021) held by her, any of the 600,000 shares of Common Stock that may be acquired upon the exercise of Series G Warrants (which expire July 2, 2023) held by her, any of the 1,230,769 shares of Common Stock that may be acquired upon the exercise of Series H Warrants (which expire May 14, 2024) held by her, any of the 3,428,571 shares of Common Stock that may be acquired upon the exercise of Series I Warrants (which expire October 18, 2024) held by her, or any of the 3,375,000 shares of Common Stock that may be acquired upon the exercise of Series J Warrants (which expire December 4, 2022) held by her, as all such warrants cannot be exercised until such time as the holder would not beneficially own, after such exercise, more than 4.9% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock; provided, however, that the holder may waive such ownership limitation, in which case such waiver will become effective sixty-one (61) days after the holder's delivery of such waiver notice.  As of the date of this Schedule 13G, such limitation has not been waived as to any outstanding warrants.   

 

The percentage ownership figures used in this filing are based on the most recently reported figure for outstanding shares contained in the Company's 10-K filed on December 11, 2020, which indicated that the total number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as of December 10, 2020 was 193,044,766.
