Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
On May 15, 2022, GEO entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement among the Issuer, GEO and certain other purchasers (the “Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which GEO agreed to acquire from the Issuer in a private placement transaction (the “Private Placement”), subject to certain conditions: (i) 1,250,001 shares of Common Stock (the “GEO Common Shares”) at a purchase price of $5.75 per share; (ii) 222,826 shares (the “GEO Preferred Shares”) of Series A Preferred at a purchase price of $57.50 per share, and (iii) Warrants to purchase 139,130 shares of Series A Preferred (“GEO Preferred Warrant Shares”), each Warrant having an exercise price of $80.50 per Series A Preferred Warrant Share. Each share of Series A Preferred is convertible into 10 shares of Common Stock at any time at the option of GEO; provided, that the Series A Preferred may not be convertible due to the number of the Issuer’s duly authorized but unissued shares prior to the date on which the Issuer receives approval of its stockholders of an amendment to the Issuer’s Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock such that the Issuer has available, and has reserved, such number of its duly authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock as shall be sufficient to effect the conversion of all shares of Series A Preferred then outstanding or available for issuance upon the exercise of the warrants issued in connection with the Private Placement and, provided, further that the Series A Preferred and the warrants issued in connection with the Private Placement carry a limitation on exercise preventing GEO from beneficially owning in excess of 9.99% of the number of shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock outstanding. GEO may be deemed to own a total of 1,250,001 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock (the “GEO Shares”).
The working capital of GEO is the source of the funds for the purchase of the GEO Shares. No part of the purchase price of the GEO Shares is represented by funds or other consideration borrowed or otherwise obtained for the purpose of acquiring, holding, trading or voting the GEO Shares.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
GEO agreed to acquire the GEO Shares for investment purposes. Depending on market conditions, its continuing evaluation of the business and prospects of the Issuer and other factors, GEO and other Reporting Persons may dispose of or acquire additional shares of the Issuer. Except as set forth above, none of the Reporting Persons has any present plans which relate to or would result in:
| (a) | The acquisition by any person of additional securities of the Issuer, or the disposition of securities of the Issuer; |

| (c) | A sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; |

| (i) | A class of equity securities of the Issuer becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; or |
| (j) | Any action similar to any of those enumerated above. |

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
| (a) | GEO is the record owner of the GEO Shares. As the sole member of GEO, NEA 18 VGE may be deemed to own beneficially the GEO Shares. As the general partner of NEA 18 VGE, NEA Partners 18 VGE may be deemed to own beneficially the GEO Shares.

Such percentage was calculated based on 14,936,190 shares of Common Stock reported by the Issuer to be outstanding as of May 9, 2022 on the Issuer’s Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 16, 2022.

| (iv) | shared power to dispose or to direct the disposition: See line 10 of cover sheets |
| (c) | Except as set forth in Item 3 above, none of the Reporting Persons has effected any transaction in the Common Stock during the last 60 days. |
| (d) | No other person is known to have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or any proceeds from the sale of, Common Stock beneficially owned by any of the Reporting Persons. |
