Item 4. Ownership
The shares of Common Stock reported on this Schedule are indirectly beneficially owned by the Reporting Person.
Dillon Hill Capital, LLC, of which the Reporting Person is the sole member, directly owns: (i) $1,500,000 principal amount of secured convertible notes (the “Notes”) that are convertible into 69,444 shares of Common
Stock of the Issuer, (ii) 185,000 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer and (iii) warrant to purchase up to 401,000 shares of Common stock of the Issuer (the “Warrants”).
Dillon Hill Investment Company LLC, the sole member of which is a trust of which the Reporting Person’s spouse is the co-trustee, directly owns 100,000 shares of Common Stock and 513,739 Warrants.
The Reporting Person may be deemed to have sole voting and dispositive power over shares, Notes and Warrants held by Dillon Hill Capital LLC and shared voting and dispositive power over the shares and Warrants held
by Dillon Hill Investment Company LLC.
The Notes and the Warrants include a provision limiting conversion of the Notes and exercise of the Warrants to the extent that conversion or exercise would result in the Reporting Person beneficially owning more
than 9.99% of the Issuer’s Common Stock. As a result, the conversion of the Notes and the exercise of the Warrants by the Reporting Person may be limited and the amounts shown in Items 5 through 9 of the cover page to this schedule reflect only
the Common Stock held by the Reporting Person and the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes.
The percentage beneficial ownership reported in Item 11 of the cover pages to this Schedule was calculated based on 3,485,399 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of January 27, 2020, as reported in the Issuer’s
quarterly report on Form 10-K/A for the period ended September 30, 2019.
