This Amendment No. 14 to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment”) amends and supplements the Schedule 13D initially filed on May 23, 2013, as
amended and supplemented by Amendment No. 1 thereto filed on December 29, 2014, Amendment No. 2 thereto filed on February 11, 2015, Amendment No. 3 thereto filed on March 23, 2015, Amendment No. 4 thereto filed on April 28, 2015, Amendment No. 5
thereto filed on July 21, 2015, Amendment No. 6 thereto filed on February 2, 2017, Amendment No. 7 thereto filed on September 5, 2017, Amendment No. 8 thereto filed April 19, 2018, Amendment No. 9 thereto filed on June 25, 2018, Amendment No. 10
thereto filed on July 2, 2019, Amendment No. 11 thereto filed on June 12, 2020, Amendment No. 12 thereto filed on July 6, 2020 and Amendment No. 13 thereto filed on August 29, 2022 (as so amended and supplemented, the “Prior Schedule 13D”
and, as amended and supplemented by this Amendment, this “Schedule 13D”). Capitalized terms used without definition in this Amendment have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Prior Schedule 13D.
Preliminary Note
Capitalized terms used in this Preliminary Note without definition have the meanings ascribed to them elsewhere in this Schedule 13D.
As of the date hereof, the Trust holds (i) 1,883,656 Shares and (ii) 8,888 Common Stock Warrants (the “2022 Warrants”) issued on
August 25, 2022 and expiring on August 25, 2027, each of which is exercisable (subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) pursuant to the terms thereof to purchase one Share. References in this Amendment to the numbers of Shares and 2022
Warrants held by the Trust give effect to the 15:1 reverse stock reported by the Issuer in its Form 8-K filed with the SEC on May 11, 2023.
The terms of the 2022 Warrants provide that 2022 Warrants may not be exercised if, after such exercise, the Reporting Persons would
beneficially own, as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, more than 4.99% (or, at the election of the holder and after 61 days’ advance notice to the Issuer, 9.99%) of the Shares then
issued and outstanding (the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”). As of the date hereof, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (which, as applied to the Reporting Persons, is 4.99% as of the date of the filing of this Amendment) does not permit
the Trust to exercise any portion of the 2022 Warrants. In providing the beneficial ownership information set forth herein, the Reporting Persons have assumed that the aggregate 8,888 2022 Warrants held by the Trust are not exercisable due to the
Beneficial Ownership Limitation.
As used herein, the term “July 2023 Offering” refers to the Issuer’s registered direct offering which, as disclosed by the Issuer in
its Form 8-K filed with the SEC on July 24, 2023, closed on July 24, 2023 and entailed the issuance and sale by the Issuer of an aggregate 1,694,820 Shares.
Item 1. Security and Issuer

the Issuer as they deem appropriate, including, without limitation, purchasing or selling securities of the Issuer, engaging in hedging transactions with respect to securities of the Issuer, and taking such other actions as the Reporting Persons
may consider appropriate for the purpose of maximizing the value of the Reporting Persons’ investment position in the Issuer.
Except to the extent the foregoing may be deemed a plan or proposal, none of the Reporting Persons has any plans or proposals which relate
to, or could result in, any of the matters referred to in subparagraphs (a) - (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. The Reporting Persons may, at any time and from time to time, (i) review or reconsider their position and/or change their purpose and/or
formulate plans or proposals with respect thereto and (ii) consider or propose one or more of the actions described in subparagraphs (a) - (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.”
