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 Amendment No. 1 and is incorporated herein by reference for each such Reporting Person. The ownership percentages reported are based on (i) 889,263 shares of Common Stock outstanding of August 14, 2024, as disclosed in the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal period ended June 30, 2024, filed by the Issuer with the SEC on August 14, 2024, and (ii) 97,482 shares of Common Stock issuable, in an combination, to 3i upon the (x) the full exercise of Common Stock purchase warrants held by 3i, which are exercisable for up to an aggregate of 35,054 shares of Common Stock (the “Warrants”), which are subject to a 4.99% beneficial ownership limitation provision, and (y) full conversion of senior secured convertible notes held by 3i in the principal aggregate amount of approximately $1.6 million (the “Notes”), which conversions are subject to a 9.99% beneficial ownership limitation provision (the “Blocker”).< /font>

 

3i holds the Warrants exercisable for up to an aggregate of 35,054 shares of Common Stock and the Notes convertible into a number of shares of Common Stock pursuant to, and in accordance with, the conversion price and terms of the Notes, subject to the Blocker. Due to the interaction between the Blocker and the 4.99% beneficial ownership limitation, 3i is prohibited from exercising the Warrants and/or converting the Notes into shares of Common Stock if, as a result of such exercise or conversion, respectively, 3i, together with its affiliates and any persons acting as a group together with 3i or any such affiliates, would beneficially own more than 4.99% or 9.99% of the total number of shares of Common Stock then issued and outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise or conversion, as applicable.

 

Consequently, 3i is the beneficial owner of 97,482 shares of Common Stock (the “Shares”). 3i has the power to dispose of and the power to vote the Shares beneficially owned by it, which power may be exercised by 3i Management, the manager and general partner of 3i. Mr. Tarlow, as the manager of 3i Management, has shared power to vote and/or dispose of the Shares beneficially owned by each of 3i and 3i Management. Mr. Tarlow does not directly own the Shares. By reason of the provisions of Rule 13d-3 of the Act, Mr. Tarlow may be deemed to beneficially own the Shares beneficially owned by 3i and 3i Management, and 3i Management may be deemed to beneficially own the Shares beneficially owned by 3i.

 

Item 5. Ownership of Five Percent or Less of a Class.

 

Not applicable.

 

Item 6. Ownership of More than Five Percent on Behalf of Another Person.

 

Not applicable.
