Note 5:  

 

Auctus Fund Management, LLC is an Exempt Reporting Adviser with the SEC and the state of Massachusetts and serves as the investment manager and general partner to Auctus Fund, LLC. Mr. Alfred Sollami and Mr. Louis Posner, as Managing Members of Auctus Fund Management, LLC, with the power to exercise investment and voting discretion, may be deemed to be the beneficial owners of all shares of Common Stock held by the Fund. Pursuant to Rule 13d-4 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Fund expressly disclaims beneficial ownership over any of the securities reported in this statement, and the filing of this statement shall not be construed as an admission that the Fund is the beneficial owner of any of the securities reported herein.     

 

Note 6:  

 

This amount comprises beneficial ownership of 4,755,098 shares of Common Stock which consists of (i) 4,357,768 shares of Common Stock and (ii) 397,330 shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants held by the Fund. All such shares of Common Stock in the aggregate represent beneficial ownership of approximately 9.9% of the Common Stock based on (i) 36,664,707 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of August 15, 2022 represented in the 10-Q filed with the SEC on August 15, 2022, plus (ii) 6,636,540 shares of Common Stock as represented in the 8-K filed with the SEC on September 1, 2022, plus (iii) 397,330 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants, and plus (iv) 3,900,000 shares issued to the Fund on October 11, 2022 as part of the Exchange Agreement as referenced in the 8-K filed with the SEC on September 15, 2022. The foregoing excludes 7,402,670 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants because the Warrants contain a blocker provision under which the holder does not have the right to exercise the Warrants to the extent that together with the holder's affiliates and any other person or entity acting as a group together with the holder of any of the holder's affiliates, own more than 9.99% of the Common Stock. The foregoing also excludes 420,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Series E Preferred Stock and 800,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of Series F Preferred Stock because these securities contain a blocker provision. Without such blocker provisions, the Fund may have been deemed to have beneficial ownership of 13,377,768 shares of Common Stock.
