Item 4. Ownership.
The information required by this item with respect to each Reporting Person is set forth in Rows 5 through 9 and 11 of the cover page to this Schedule 13G and is incorporated herein by reference for each such Reporting Person. The ownership percentages reported are based on (i) 15,301,986 shares of Common Stock outstanding as reported in the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on November 14, 2022 and (ii) 504,571 shares of Common Stock that are issuable upon exercise of 740,741 Series A warrants, 740,741 Series B warrants, and 740,741 Series C warrants (collectively, the “Warrants”) that are held by the Reporting Persons, subject to a blocker (the “Blocker”).
As of December 31, 2022, the Reporting Persons hold (i) 788,747 shares of Common Stock and (ii) an additional 1,717,652 shares of Common Stock issuable upon full exercise of the Warrants held by the Reporting Persons. Due to the Blocker, the Reporting Persons are prohibited from exercising the Warrants into shares of Common Stock if, as a result of such exercise, the holder, together with its affiliates and any persons acting as a group together with such holder or any of such affiliates, would beneficially own more than 4.99% of the total number of shares of Common Stock then issued and outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise. Consequently, as of the date of the event which requires the filing of thi s statement, the Reporting Persons were not able to exercise all of the Warrants due to the Blocker.
As of December 31, 2022, Ionic is the beneficial owner of 788,747 shares of Common Stock (the “Shares”). Ionic has the power to dispose of and the power to vote the Shares beneficially owned by it, which power may be exercised by its managers, Mr. O’Neil and Mr. Coulston. Mr. O’Neil and Mr. Coulston, as managers of Ionic, have shared power to vote and/or dispose of the Shares beneficially owned by Ionic. Neither Mr. O’Neil nor Mr. Coulston directly owns any Common Stock of the Issuer. By reason of the provisions of Rule 13d-3 of the Act, each of Mr. O’Neil and Mr. Coulston may be deemed to beneficially own the Shares beneficially owned by Ionic.
