Item 3.

Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

Prior to the Issuer’s initial public offering (the “IPO”), and after accounting for the 4.43316-1 reverse stock split that the Issuer effected on February 14, 2020, FLS IX purchased from the Issuer in a series of private transactions, 2,977,242 shares of the Issuer’s Series A-1 Preferred Stock, 1,049,175 shares of the Issuer’s Series A-2 Preferred Stock and 432,802 shares of the Issuer’s Series B Preferred Stock for an approximate aggregate purchase price of $30,471,203. Upon closing of the IPO, the shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock, Series A-2 Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock held by FLS IX automatically converted into shares of Common Stock of the Issuer on a 1-to-1 basis, resulting in FLS IX holding a total of 4,459,219 shares of Common Stock at such time. In addition, at the time of the IPO, FLS IX purchased an aggregate of 550,000 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer at the IPO price of $18.00 per share. FLS IX holds 5,009,219 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer as of the date of this filing (the “FLS Shares”).
