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 pages to this Schedule 13G and is incorporated herein by reference for each such Reporting Person. The ownership percentages reported are based on (i) 22,271,865 shares of Common Stock outstanding, as reported in the Issuer’s definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A, filed by the Issuer with the SEC on August 5, 2024, and (ii) up to 1,964,968 Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of shares of Preferred Stock held by Ionic, which further conversions thereof are subject to the 9.99% Blocker contained in the Certificate of Designations.
Ionic holds (i) 456,291 shares of Common Stock and (ii) 435 shares of Preferred Stock. Pursuant to the terms of the Certificate of Designations, within sixty days of the date of the filing of this Schedule 13G, up to an aggregate of $2,250,000 of such shares of Preferred Stock are convertible into up to 6,081,082 shares of Common Stock, based on an Alternate Conversion Price (as defined in the Certificate of Designations) of $0.37 per share as of August 7, 2024, of which 4,116,114 shares of Common Stock are not deemed beneficially owned by Ionic as a result of the triggering of the Blocker, which prohibits Ionic from converting its shares of Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock if, as a result of such conversion, 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 9.99% of the total number of shares of Common Stock then issued and outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion. In addition, an aggregate of $2,100,000 shares of Preferred Stock convertible into up to 5,675,676 shares of Common Stock (based on an Alternate Conversion Price of $0.37 per share) are not deemed beneficially owned by Ionic as a result of the limitation imposed on the number of Conversion Notices (as defined in the Certificate of Designations) that may be delivered by Ionic within sixty days of the date of the filing of this Schedule 13G based on the five-day Alternate Conversion Measuring Period (as defined in the Certificate of Designations).
Ionic is the beneficial owner of 2,421,259 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.
