| (1) Shares reported in this Form 13G are held through the James W. Wallis Living Trust, for which James W. Wallis is the Settlor and Sole Trustee.
(2) As more fully described in Item 4, the Common Stock Purchase Warrant (the "Common Warrants") are subject to a 4.99% blocker (the "Common Warrant Blocker"). However, as more fully described in Item 4, the securities reported in rows (5), (7), and (9) show the number of shares of Common Stock that would be issuable upon full conversion and exercise of such Common Warrants and does not give effect to the Common Warrant Blocker. Therefore, the actual number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Person, after giving effect to the Common Warrant Blocker, is less than the number of securities reported in rows (5), (7), and (9). (3) Based on 196,250,677 shares of Common Stock outstanding as reported in the Issuer's Registration Statement on Form S-1/A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 25, 2023, and taking into effect the Common Warrant Blocker. | |||||

If
this statement is being filed to report the fact that as of the date hereof the

percent of the class of securities, check the following
o
.
Item 4. 1 Pursuant to the definitive agreements to which the Reporting Person is party, the Reporting Person purchased warrants to purchase Common Stock (the "Common Warrants"). The Common Warrants are subject to 4.99% blockers (the "Common Warrant Blocker") pursuant to which the Reporting Person cannot exercise the Common Warrants if after the exercise of its option, the Reporting Person would own more that 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. The percentage set forth in Item 4(b) for the Reporting Person gives effect to the Common Warrant Blocker. Consequently, as of the date of the event which required the filing of this statement, the Reporting Person was unable to exercise the Common Warrants since the percentage held by the Reporting Person currently exceeds 4.99% of the Common Stock of the Issuer.
