The Reporting Persons acquired their Shares for investment and are filing this Schedule 13D/A to report a change in their respective beneficial ownership percentages of the Shares resulting from an agreement between the Issuer and the Reporting Persons to remove beneficial ownership blocker provisions of notes and warrants of the Issuer beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons, as reported on Table II of the Form 4 filed by the Reporting Persons on November 21, 2023, which is incorporated herein by reference (the “Derivatives”) and as further described in Item 6.

There are no material changes to Item 6 of the Schedule 13D amendment, submitted on November 22, 2023 except for the following:

On December 30, 2023, certain of the Reporting Persons entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “December 2023 Purchase Agreement”) with the Issuer. The December 2023 Purchase Agreement provided for a private placement of (i) Future Advance Convertible Promissory Notes (the “December 2023 Note”); (ii) warrants to purchase Shares with an exercise price of $0.067 per share (the “.067 Warrant”) and (iii) warrants to purchase Shares with an exercise price of $.04 per shares (the “.04 Warrant” and collectively with the .067 Warrant, the “December 2023 Warrants”). The December 2023 Note and the December 2023 Warrants are not currently exercisable and will only be exercisable at such time as the Issuer’s authorized and unissued Shares are at a number sufficient to permit the exercise or conversion of all outstanding securities exercisable for, or convertible into, Shares. The exercise price of the December 2023 Warrants is subject to adjustment, including if the Issuer issues or sells Shares or Share Equivalents (as defined in the December 2023 Warrants) for an effective consideration price less than the exercise price of the December 2023 Warrants or if the Issuer lists its Shares on The Nasdaq Capital Market and the average volume weighted average price of such Shares for the five trading days preceding such listing is less than $0.04 per share; provided, however, that the exercise price of the December 2023 Warrants shall never be less than $0.01 per share. The December 2023 Warrants have a five-year term. The warrants described in Exhibit B are not currently exercisable into Shares until such time as the Issuer’s authorized and unissued Shares are at a number sufficient to permit the exercise of all warrants and the conversion or exercise of all other share equivalents. The December 2023 Warrants are subject to a 4.99% beneficial ownership limitation and are therefore not currently convertible, exercisable or exchangeable by the Reporting Persons for Shares of the Issuer. The foregoing description of the December 2023 Warrants does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by the full agreement to which the December 2023 Warrants related, which is substantially similar to the Common Stock Purchase Warrant included as Exhibit 4.2+ of the Issuer's S-1/A filed on September 29, 2023, which is incorporated by reference.

Pursuant to the December 2023 Note, the Issuer promised to pay the Reporting Persons in cash and/or in Shares, at a conversion price of $0.04, the principal as may be advanced in disbursements, and to pay interest at a rate of 15% per annum on any outstanding principal at the applicable interest rate from the date of the December 2023 Note until the December 2023 Note is accelerated, converted, redeemed or otherwise. The conversion price of the December 2023 Note is subject to adjustment, including if the Issuer issues or sells Shares for a price per share less than the conversion price of the December 2023 Note or if the Issuer lists its Shares on The Nasdaq Capital Market and the average volume weighted average price of such Shares for the five trading days preceding such listing is less than $0.04 per share; provided, however, that the conversion price shall never by less than $0.01. The December 2023 Note is subject to a 4.99% beneficial ownership limitation and is therefore not currently convertible, exercisable or exchangeable by the Reporting Persons for Shares of the Issuer. The foregoing description of the December 2023 Note does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by the full agreement to which the notes related, which is substantially similar to the Future Advance Convertible Promissory Note included as Exhibit 4.1+ of the Issuer’s S-1/A filed on September 29, 2023, which is incorporated by reference.

In addition, in connection with the December 2023 Purchase Agreement, certain of the Reporting Persons entered into (i) a security agreement in favor of such Reporting Persons to secure the Issuer’s obligation under the December 2023 Note, (ii) a subordination agreement pursuant to which the rights of such Reporting Persons under the December 2023 Note are subordinate to the rights of certain other lenders and (iii) a registration rights agreement, pursuant to which the Issuer agreed to file a registration statement with the SEC no later than sixty (60) days following the closing date of the December 2023 Purchase Agreement to register the resale of the number of the Shares issuable upon conversion of the December 2023 Note and exercise of the December 2023 Warrants issued pursuant to the December 2023 Purchase Agreement and to cause the registration to become effective within one-hundred eighty (180) days following the closing date of the December 2023 Purchase Agreement.
