Item 4. Ownership.

 

The information required by this item with respect to each Reporting Person is set forth in Rows 5 through 9 and 11 of the cover pages to this Schedule 13G and is incorporated herein by reference for each such Reporting Person. The ownership percentages reported are based on (i) 18,415,176 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of November 20, 2024 after giving effect to the offering of 4,200,000 shares of Common Stock as set forth in the issuer’s Prospectus (File No. 333-283178), filed with the SEC on December 6, 2024 (the “Prospectus”) (and assuming no exercise of pre-funded common stock purchase warrants of the issuer (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”), and consist of (i) 1,800,000 shares of Common Stock held by Ionic, (ii) up to 12,170,588 shares of Common Stock issuable upon full exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants held by Ionic, which exercise thereof is subject to a 9.99% beneficial ownership limitation (the “Blocker”), and (iii) up to 13,970,588 shares of Common Stock issuable upon full exercise of the Series A Warrants held by Ionic and up to 13,970,588 shares of Common Stock issuable upon full exercise of the Series B Warrants held by Ionic, which exercise of each of the Warrants is subject to stockholder approval which, as of the date hereof, has not been obtained. The number of shares of Common Stock set forth in the preceding clause (iii) is subject to increase as set forth in the Prospectus.

 

Ionic holds (i) 1,800,000 shares of Common Stock, (ii) Pre-Funded Warrants exercisable for up to 12,170,588 shares of Common Stock, of which 12,126,508 are not deemed beneficially owned by Ionic as a result of the triggering of the Blocker in the Pre-Funded Warrants which prohibits Ionic from exercising the Pre-Funded Warrants into shares of Common Stock if, as a result of such exercise, the holder thereof, together with its affiliates and any persons acting as a group together with such holder or any of such affiliates, would beneficially own more than 9.99% of the total number of shares of Common Stock then issued and outstanding immediately after giving effect to any such exercise, and (iii) Warrants exercisable for 27,941,176 shares of Common Stock, none of which are deemed beneficially owned by Ionic as a result of being subject to stockholder approval which, as of the date hereof, has not been obtained, and each of which is also subject to a 9.99% beneficial ownership blocker as described above for the Pre-Funded Warrants. The Series A Warrants have an initial exercise price of $0.17 and will expire five (5) years from the date of stockholder approval, and the Series B Warrants have an initial exercise price of $0.34 and will expire two and one-half (2.5) years from the date of stockholder approval. In certain circumstances as set forth in the Prospectus, the exercise price of each of the Warrants may be reduced and the number of shares issuable upon exercise thereof may be increased such that the aggregate exercise price remains unchanged, subject to a floor price, in all cases as described in the Prospectus.

 

Ionic is the beneficial owner of 1,844,080 shares of Common Stock (the “Shares”). Ionic has the power to dispose of and the power to vote the Shares beneficially owned by it, which power may be exercised by its manager, Ionic Management. Each of the managers of Ionic Management, Mr. O’Neil and Mr. Coulston, has shared power to vote and/or dispose of the Shares beneficially owned by Ionic and Ionic Management. Neither Mr. O’Neil nor Mr. Coulston directly owns the Shares. By reason of the provisions of Rule 13d-3 of the Act, each of Mr. O’Neil and Mr. Coulston may be deemed to beneficially own the Shares which are beneficially owned by each of Ionic and Ionic Management, and Ionic Management may be deemed to beneficially own the Shares which are beneficially owned by Ionic.
