(2)

Percent of class beneficially owned is calculated based on 157,905,655 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of November 30, 2023, plus 490,617 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of warrants exercisable within 60 days of the date on which this Schedule 13D has been filed with the SEC. Shares of Series A Preferred Stock are not convertible into shares of Common Stock and therefore the 29,057,097 shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by the Reporting Person are not included in this percentage. The Reporting Person’s aggregate voting power, including shares of Series A Preferred Stock and assuming the exercise of all warrants held by the Reporting Person, is 47.81%.
