Amount beneficially owned:

 

As of the close of business on December 4, 2023, the Reporting Persons held an aggregate of 12,217 shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Series A-2 Preferred Stock”), which are convertible into an aggregate of 19,392,061 Shares, subject to the Maximum Percentage (as defined below).

 

As of the close of business on December 4, 2023, the Reporting Persons held an aggregate of 12,000 tranche B warrants (the “Tranche B Warrants”) to purchase shares of Series A-3 Preferred Stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Series A-3 Preferred Stock”, and together with the Series A-2 Preferred Stock, the “Series A Preferred Stock”), which are, in turn, convertible into an aggregate of 19,047,618 Shares, subject to the Maximum Percentage. The Tranche B Warrants are exercisable at any time beginning on November 23, 2023 at an exercise price of $1,000 per share of Series A-3 Preferred Stock and expire on the later of (i) 15 Trading Days (as defined in the Tranche B Warrant) following the later of (x) the date of the Issuer’s public announcement of data from its SAB-142-101 clinical trial “Phase I Randomized, Double-Blinded, Placebo-Controlled, Single Ascending Dose Adaptive Design Study Assessing the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of Intravenous SAB-142” and (y) the Issuer notifying the holder in writing that the public announcement referenced in clause (x) has occurred, and (ii) March 31, 2025.
