Explanatory Note

This Amendment No. 2 to the statement on Schedule 13D (this “Amendment No. 2”) amends and supplements the statement on Schedule 13D filed on February 9, 2023 (the “Initial Schedule 13D”) and the Amendment No. 1 to the statement of Schedule 13D filed on July 6, 2023 (the “Amendment No. 1”, and collectively with the Initial Schedule 13D, the “Prior Schedule 13D”) and relates to the shares of Common Stock. The Initial Schedule 13D as amendment by Amendment No. 1 and this Amendment No. 2 are collectively referred to as the “Schedule 13D.”

Except as specifically provided herein, this Amendment No. 2 does not modify any of the information previously reported on the Prior Schedule 13D. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Prior Schedule 13D.

Item 2.

Identity and Background.

Item 2 of the the Prior Schedule 13D is hereby supplemented with respect to the five year period preceding this Amendment No. 2 by the following:

(d)-(e) None of Accelmed Partners II L.P. (“Accelmed LP”), Accelmed Partners II GP L.P. (“Accelmed GP”), Accelmed Partners II, LLC (“Accelmed LLC”) and Uri Geiger (collectively, the “Reporting Persons”) nor any manager or executive officer of the Reporting Persons, has, during the past five years, (a) been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors), or (b) been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting, or mandating activities subject to, Federal or State securities laws or a finding of any violation with respect to such laws.

Item 3.

Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

On September 28, 2023, the Issuer and Accelmed LP entered into the Purchase Agreement for the sale of an aggregate of 97,751,711 shares (the “Shares”) of Common Stock in a private placement (the “September 28, 2023 Private Placement”), at an offering price of $0.2046 per share, for aggregate consideration of $20,000,000.07. It is contemplated that these acquisitions will be funded with the working capital of Accelmed LP.

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction.

Item 4 of the Initial Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

The response set forth in Item 3 hereof is incorporated by reference in their entirety.

In connection with a contemplated refinancing by the Issuer of its Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of October 8, 2021, by and among the Issuer, the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, and each other person party thereto, as a borrower from time to time, as amended (the “Loan and Security Agreement”, and such refinancing, the “Refinancing”), it is expected that potential lenders shall require as a condition to the Refinancing that the Issuer complete a equity financing of at least $20,000,000 prior to the Refinancing (the “Lender’s Refinancing Condition”).

Upon the closing of the September 28, 2023 Private Placement, the Reporting Persons will each beneficially own 79.9% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, based upon 177,573,152 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding on September 14, 2023, as reported by the Issuer in the Purchase Agreement.

The September 28, 2023 Private Placement is not being conducted in conjunction with any Take Private Transaction, but rather to satisfy the Lender’s Refinancing Condition. The closing of the September 28, 2023 Private Placement is subject to the condition that the terms of the Refinancing are acceptable to Accelmed LP, in its sole and absolute discretion, and other customary closing conditions. The closing of the September 28, 2023 Private Placement may not take place prior to October 28, 2023.
