The Reporting Persons have entered into a Joint Filing Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 1 to this Amendment, pursuant to which such Reporting Persons have agreed to file this Amendment and all subsequent amendments to the Schedule 13G jointly in accordance with the provisions of Rule 13d-1(k) of the Act.

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) 2,147,789 shares of Common Stock outstanding, as reported in the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on February 9, 2024, and (ii) up to 151,516 shares of Common Stock issuable upon full exercise of the Issuer’s Series G warrants (the “Warrants”) held by Ionic, which exercises thereof are subject to a 4.99% beneficial ownership blocker (the “Blocker”).

 

Ionic holds the Warrants exercisable for up to an aggregate of 151,516 shares of Common Stock, of which 38,713 shares are not deemed beneficially owned by Ionic as a result of the triggering of the Blocker, which prohibits Ionic from exercising the Warrants 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 such exercise.

 

Ionic is the beneficial owner of 112,803 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 manager, Ionic Management. Each of the managers of Ionic Management, Mr. O’Neil and Mr. Coulston, has shared power to vote and/or dispose of the Shares beneficially owned by Ionic and Ionic Management. Neither Mr. O’Neil nor Mr. Coulston directly owns the Shares. 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 which are beneficially owned by each of Ionic and Ionic Management, and Ionic Management may be deemed to beneficially own the Shares which are beneficially owned by Ionic.
