(1)

Consists of (i) 121,822 shares of common stock, par value $0.005 per share (the “Common Stock”), of Eterna Therapeutics Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”) held by Purchase Capital LLC (“Purchase Capital” or the “Reporting Person”) and (ii) 158,600 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise or conversion, as applicable, of the Purchase Capital Derivative Securities (as defined below). Purchase Capital acquired 141,644 warrants (the “December 2022 Warrants”) from the Issuer in a private placement (the “December 2022 Private Placement”), each of which became exercisable on June 2, 2023 to purchase one share of Common Stock, with an exercise price of $3.28 per share. On July 14, 2023, Purchase Capital acquired from the Issuer in a private placement (the “July 2023 Private Placement”): (i) $1,000,000 in principal amount of the Issuer’s 6.0% Senior Convertible Promissory Notes due July 2028 (the “Note”) and (ii) 699,300 warrants, each exercisable to purchase one share of the Common Stock, at an exercise price of $2.61 per share (the “July 2023 Warrants, together with the Note and the December 2022 Warrants, the “Purchase Capital Derivative Securities”). The Notes may be converted into shares of Common Stock at a conversion price of $2.86 per share, subject to customary adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends and recapitalizations, as described in the Notes. Purchase Capital may not exercise or convert, as applicable, the Purchase Capital Derivative Securities to the extent that the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Purchase Capital or any other person with whom shares of Common Stock would be aggregated for purposes of determining beneficial ownership under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including Nicholas J. Singer, its affiliate, would exceed 9.99% immediately after exercise thereof; therefore, Purchase Capital beneficially owns only 158,600 shares underlying the Purchase Capital Derivative Securities, the balance of which Purchase Capital does not have the right to acquire. Mr. Singer filed Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D on July 26, 2023 disclosing his beneficial ownership of 9.99% of the Common Stock.
