CUSIP No. 09263B108       13D

 

Explanatory Note:

This Amendment No. 2 (this “Amendment No. 2”) amends and supplements the Schedule 13D originally filed by the Reporting Persons with the Commission on September 20, 2021, as it has been amended by Amendment No. 1 filed with the Commission on April 20, 2024 (collectively, the “Original Schedule 13D”). The agreement among the Reporting Persons to file jointly in accordance with the provisions of Rule 13d-1(k)(1) under the Act is attached to the Original Schedule 13D as Exhibit 1. All share numbers in this Amendment No. 2 have been adjusted to reflect the 1-for-8 reverse stock split of the Issuer’s issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock that was effected on September 6, 2024. This Amendment No. 2 is being filed to update the aggregate percentage of the Common Stock owned by the Reporting Persons due to dilution caused by the Issuer’s sales of additional shares of its Common Stock from time to time since the date of the filing of the Original Schedule 13D and not in connection with a disposition of any shares by the Reporting Persons. Such dilution resulted in a decrease of over one percent (1%) in the aggregate percentage ownership reported by the Reporting Persons in the Original Schedule 13D. Only those items that are hereby reported are amended; all other items reported in the Original Schedule 13D remain unchanged. Information given in response to each item shall be deemed incorporated by reference in all other items, as applicable. Capitalized terms not defined in this Amendment No. 2 have the meanings ascribed to them in the Original Schedule 13D.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

Item 5 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby supplemented and amended, as the case may be, as follows:

(a) and (b) See Items 7-11 of the cover pages of this Amendment No. 2.

(c) Except as reported in this Amendment No. 2, none of the Reporting Persons has effected any transactions in the Issuer’s securities within the past 60 days.

SIGNATURE

After reasonable inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and belief, I certify that the information set forth in this statement is true, complete and correct.
