The following constitutes Amendment No. 3 to the Schedule 13D filed by the undersigned (“Amendment No. 3”). This Amendment No. 3 amends the Schedule 13D as specifically set forth herein.

Item 3.

Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

Item 3 is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:

The Shares purchased by HCPF were purchased with working capital (which may, at any given time, include margin loans made by brokerage firms in the ordinary course of business) in open market purchases, except as otherwise noted.

The aggregate purchase price of the 1,000 Shares directly owned by HCPF is approximately $1,458.00, excluding brokerage commissions.

On April 3, 2020, HCM entered into the Securities Purchase Agreement (as defined and described in Item 4 of Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule 13D) with the Issuer. In consideration for its obligations under the Securities Purchase Agreement, HCM received a warrant (the “Initial Warrant”), with a 10-year term, to purchase up to 500,000 Shares (the “Warrant Shares”), for an exercise price of $2.50 per share, subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments and limitations, as set forth in the Initial Warrant, including a conversion cap which precludes the Holder (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) from exercising all or a portion of the Initial Warrant if, after such exercise, such Holder would beneficially own, as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, more than 9.99% of the Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise (the “9.99% Beneficial Ownership Limitation”). On April 7, 2020, HCM transferred the Initial Warrant to HCPF.
