The following constitutes Amendment No. 4 to the Schedule 13D filed by the undersigned (“Amendment No. 4”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on September 2, 2014, as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed on May 30, 2017, Amendment No. 2 filed on September 14, and Amendment No. 3 filed on March 23, 2020 (the “Schedule 13D”). This Amendment No. 4 amends the Schedule 13D as specifically set forth herein. All capitalized terms contained herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 13D. Information given in response to each item shall be deemed incorporated by reference in all other items, as applicable.

Item 3.

Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

Item 3 is hereby amended to read as follows:

As previously defined and described in the Schedule 13D, pursuant to the August 2014 SPA, HCPF acquired Series A Preferred Stock, convertible into shares of Common Stock at the initial conversion price of $0.40 per share, which was subsequently adjusted to $0.255 (or $7.65 after adjusting for the reverse stock split at a ratio of 1-for-30). HCPF acquired 116,118 shares of Common Stock on November 15, 2018, following the conversion of all the Series A Preferred Stock held by HCPF, pursuant to the terms of the Series A preferred Stock. HCPF was also issued 3,089 shares of Common Stock on November 19, 2018 in connection with the final dividend payment associated with the Series A Preferred Stock.

HCPF also currently holds 8,929 2015 Warrants, which it acquired pursuant to the December 2015 SPA, as previously defined and described in the Schedule 13D. Each of the 2015 Warrants is exercisable immediately into one share of Common Stock and expires on December 28, 2020, provided, however, that each 2015 Warrant is subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined and described in Item 5 below). The other 2015 Warrants and the 2014 Warrants previously held by HCPF, as disclosed in the Schedule 13D, expired worthless pursuant to their terms.

On November 15, 2018, HCPF participated in the Issuer’s public offering and purchased 142,850 shares of Common Stock and 71,425 warrants (the “Public Warrants”) at a combined public offering price of $3.50 per share and warrant (with 50% warrant coverage). Each of the Public Warrants is exercisable immediately into one share of Common Stock at an initial exercise price of $4.375, subject to adjustment, and expires on November 14, 2023, provided, however, that each Public Warrant is subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation.

On November 19, 2018, HCPF received 201,131 shares of Common Stock and 158,625 warrants (the “2018 Warrants” and together with the Public Warrants and the 2015 Warrants, the “Warrants”) as one- time incentives in connection with signing a lock- up agreement in connection with, and participation in, the Issuer’s public offering. Each of the 2018 Warrants is exercisable immediately into one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $4.20, subject to adjustment, and expires on November 19, 2023, provided, however, that each 2018 Warrant is subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limit ation.

The remaining 166,073 shares of Common stock previously reported as beneficially owned by HCPF were purchased by HCPF in open market transactions for an aggregate purchase price of $1,263,664.90, including brokerage commissions. Since the filing of Amendment No. 3 to the Schedule 13D, HCPF has sold an aggregate of 275,712 shares of Common Stock in open market transactions, as set forth on Schedule A.

The securities reported herein were acquired with the working capital of the Reporting Persons in negotiated transactions with the Issuer, pursuant to the Issuer’s public offering or in the open market, as described above.

The 10,437 shares of Common Stock beneficially owned directly by Mr. Manko were granted to Mr. Manko in connection with his service as a director of the Issuer.
