Indirect beneficial ownership: YA II PN, Ltd. (“YA II”) entered into a Pre-Paid Advance Agreement (this “Agreement”) with the issuer dated as of July 20, 2022. Under the Agreement, the issuer may request advances of up to $50 million each (“Pre-Paid Advances”) from YA II, with an aggregate limitation of $300 million. Under the Agreement, YA II has the right to acquire shares of Common Stock to offset amounts owed under outstanding Pre-Paid Advances at a price per share equal to the lower of (a) 120% of the daily volume weighted average price (the “VWAP”) of the Common Stock on The Nasdaq Global Select Market (“Nasdaq”) as of the trading day immediately prior to the date of the disbursement of the Pre-Paid Advance, or (b) 95% of the VWAP of the Common Stock on Nasdaq as of the trading day immediately preceding the date on which YA II provides the purchase notice to the Company, subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement.

Page 11

On November 10, 2022, YA II and the issuer entered into supplemental agreement to the Agreement (the “Supplemental Agreement”). Pursuant to the Supplemental Agreement, YA II advanced a Pre-Paid Advance in the amount of $21.3 million. The Supplemental Agreement provides that solely with respect to the $21.3 million Pre-Paid Advance, YA II has the right to acquire shares of Common Stock to offset amounts owed such Pre-Paid Advance at a price per share equal to the lower of a) 110% of the daily VWAP of the Common Stock on the Nasdaq as of November 9, 2022, or (b) 95% of the lowest daily VWAP of the Common Stock on Nasdaq during the five (5) trading days immediately preceding the date on which YA II provides the purchase notice to the Company, but not lower than $0.50 per share. Under the Agreement, YA II is prohibited from acquiring shares of Common Stock to the extent that it would cause the aggregate number of shares beneficially owned by YA II and its affiliates to exceed 9.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the issuer, after giving effect to such issuance.

In addition to the direct beneficial ownership set forth above, each reporting person is also deemed to be the indirect beneficial owner of additional shares of Common Stock that YA II may acquire under the Agreement within 60 days of the date of this filing such that each reporting person is deemed to be the indirect beneficial owner of an additional 38,292,581 shares of Common Stock.

Below is a description of the relationship among the reporting persons:

YA II PN, Ltd. (“YA II”) is beneficially owned by YA Global Investments II (U.S.), LP (the “YA Feeder”). Yorkville Advisors Global, LP (the “YA Advisor”) is the investment manager to YA II. Yorkville Advisors Global II, LLC (the “YA Advisor GP”) is the general partner to the YA Advisor. YAII GP, LP (the “YA GP”) is the general partner to the YA Feeder. YAII GP II, LLC (the “Yorkville GP”) is the general partner to the YA GP. Mark Angelo makes the investment decisions on behalf of YA II. Accordingly, each of YA II, YA Feeder, the YA Advisor, the YA Advisor GP, the YA GP, the Yorkville GP and Mark Angelo may be deemed affiliates and therefore may be deemed to beneficially own the same number of Common Shares.
