Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated as follows:

 

Beneficial ownership of the shares of Common Stock shown on the cover pages of and set forth elsewhere in this Statement for each of the Reporting Persons assumes that they have not formed a group for purposes of Section 13(d)(3) under the Exchange Act, and Rule 13d-5(b)(1) promulgated thereunder. If the members of the Reporting Persons were deemed to have formed a grou p for purposes of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act and Rule 13d-5(b)(1), as of September 2, 2021, the group would be deemed to own beneficially (as that term is defined under Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act) and may be deemed to have shared voting and dispositive power over an aggregate of 843,430 shares of Common Stock, representing 5.7% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (the percentage of shares owned being based upon 14,636,361 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of July 22, 2021, as set forth in the Issuer’s DEF 14C with a record date of July 22, 2021 and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 3, 2021), and an additional 167,435 warrants for a total of 14,803,796.

 

The filing of this Statement and any future amendment by any of the Reporting Persons, and the inclusion of information herein and therein with respect to any of the Reporting Persons shall not be considered an admission that any of such persons, for the purpose of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, are the beneficial owners of any shares in which such persons do not have a pecuniary interest.
