This Amendment No. 2 is being filed by Trevor R. Milton and M&M Residual, LLC (“M&M”) and amends, supplements and, to the extent inconsistent with, supersedes, the Schedule 13D filed jointly by Mr. Milton, M&M, T&M Residual, LLC (“T&M”) and Mark A. Russell on June 15, 2020, as amended by the Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule 13D filed by Mr. Milton and M&M on May 14, 2021 (the “Schedule 13D”).  This Amendment No. 2 is being filed solely by Mr. Milton and M&M and does not amend, supplement or supersede the Schedule 13D with respect to the Reporting Persons other than Mr. Milton and M&M.  Except as specifically provided herein, this Amendment No. 2 does not modify any of the information previously reported in the Schedule 13D.  Capitalized terms in this Amendment No. 2 have the meanings assigned to them in the Schedule 13D.

The information contained in Item 5(a), (b) and (c) of the Schedule 13D is amended and supplemented by the following:

Calculations of the percentage of the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned in this Amendment No. 2 assume 398,253,825 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of July 29, 2021, based on information included in the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed on August 3, 2021.

As a result, Mr. Milton may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of 104,487,641 shares of Common Stock, representing 26.2% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.

Each of Mr. Milton and M&M expressly disclaims beneficial ownership of all of the shares of Common Stock included in the Schedule 13D, other than the shares of Common Stock held of record by such Reporting Person, and the filing of this Amendment No. 2 shall not be construed as an admission that any such person is, for the purposes of sections 13(d) or 13(g) of the Act the beneficial owner of any securities covered by the Schedule 13D.

In addition, on July 23, 2021, Mr. Milton transferred 600,000 shares and M&M transferred 1,150,000 shares of Common Stock to Mr. Milton’s spouse by gift.

The transactions were previously reported on the Form 4 filed by M&M and Mr. Milton on August 6, 2021.

Except as set forth in this Schedule 13D, none of Mr. Milton or M&M has engaged in any transaction with respect to the Common Stock during the sixty days prior to the date of filing of this Schedule 13D.

The information contained in Item 6 of the Schedule 13D is amended and supplemented by the following:
