Purpose of Transaction
  
 
Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended to include the following:

On June 12, 2023 (the “Conversion Date”), the Company consummated the conversion of all shares of Series A Preferred Stock that were not repurchased in the Series A Repurchase into shares of Common Stock, as set forth in the Transaction Agreement and the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Designations (the “Conversion”). On the Conversion Date, each share of Series A Preferred Stock was automatically converted into one fully-paid, non-assessable share of Common Stock and each holder of Series A Preferred Stock was deemed to be the holder of record of the Common Stock issuable upon such Conversion. Further, in connection with such conversion, the Company is obligated to pay to the holders, including VOF Holdings, GTM Holdings and Phoenix, in respect of each share of Series A Preferred Stock held immediately prior to the Conversion, (i) $0.144375 in cash, and (ii) approximately 0.104379 shares of Common Stock (representing $0.853509 in accrued and unpaid dividends per share of Series A Preferred Stock, valued at $8.177 per share), subject to adjustments pursuant to the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Designations to avoid the issuance of fractional shares of Common Stock.
