TYPE OF REPORTING PERSON
CO |
* Represents shares of common stock issuable
upon exercise of Warrants (as defined below) currently owned. Does not include additional shares of common stock issuable upon exercise
of Warrants currently owned, as the Warrants may not be exercised to the extent that such exercise would cause the Reporting Person and
its affiliates to beneficially own more than 9.90% of the Issuer’s then outstanding common stock (the “Beneficial Ownership
Limitation”). On July 8, 2024, the Reporting Person exchanged 76,923 shares of Series E Preferred Stock it owned of the
Issuer for a 5% Original Issue Discount Senior Secured Note in the principal amount of $3.2 million (the “Note”) and
warrants to purchase 1,150,416 shares of common stock (subject to adjustment) (the “Warrants”). As of the date of filing
of this Schedule 13G, the Reporting Person has fully converted the Note into shares of the Issuer’s common stock and no longer owns
such shares. The Warrants have an exercise price equal to $6.07. The Warrants provide for cashless exercise pursuant to which the Reporting
Person will receive upon exercise a “net number” of shares of common stock determined according to the following formula:
Net Number = (A x B) / C
For purposes of the foregoing formula:
A= The total number of shares with respect to
which the Warrant is then being exercised.
B= The Black Scholes Value (as described below).
C= The lower of the two Closing Bid Prices (as
defined in the Warrants) of the common stock in the two days prior the time of such exercise, but in any event not less than $0.10.
CUSIP No. 62526P406 | 13G | Page 3 of 6 |
For purposes of the cashless exercise, “Black
Scholes Value” means the Black Scholes value of an option for one share of common stock at the date of the applicable cashless exercise,
as such Black Scholes value is determined, calculated using the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model obtained from the “OV”
function on Bloomberg utilizing (i) an underlying price per share equal to the exercise price, as adjusted, (ii) a risk-free interest
rate corresponding to the U.S. Treasury rate, (iii) a strike price equal to the exercise price in effect at the time of the applicable
cashless exercise, (iv) an expected volatility equal to 135%, and (v) a deemed remaining term of the Warrant of five years (regardless
of the actual remaining term of the Warrant).
** Based upon 40,141,186 shares of Common
Stock outstanding on August 9, 2024 as reported by the Issuer in its quarterly report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on August 12, 2024 and assumes exercise of the Warrants by the Reporting Person up to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation.
This calculation does not include the exercise or conversion of other outstanding securities of the Company owned by other security holders.
