Item 4.

Ownership

 

(a)

Amount beneficially owned:

 

As of the close of business on September 30, 2024, the Reporting Persons and a certain Partners managed account (the “Partners Managed Account”) held Tranche A Warrants (the “Tranche A Warrants”), Tranche B Warrants (the “Tranche B Warrants”) and Tranche C Warrants (the “Tranche C Warrants” and together with the Tranche A Warrants and Tranche B Warrants, the “Warrants”). The Tranche A Warrants, Tranche B Warrants and Tranche C Warrants are, in turn, exercisable into shares of Series A-3 Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A-3 Preferred Stock”), shares of Series A-4 Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A-4 Preferred Stock”) and shares of Series A-5 Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A-5 Preferred Stock” and together with the Series A-3 Preferred Stock and Series A-4 Preferred Stock, the “Series A Preferred Stock”), respectively. The Series A Preferred Stock is, in turn, convertible into Shares subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below).

 

A holder of Series A Preferred Stock shall not have the right to convert any portion of the Series A Preferred Stock and such Series A Preferred Stock shall not be automatically converted, to the extent that after giving effect to such conversion, such holder (together with such holder’s affiliates, any other persons acting as a group together, and any other persons whose beneficial ownership of Shares would be aggregated with the holder’s and the other Attribution Parties (as defined in the Series A Certificate of Designation) for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 would beneficially own in excess of 9.99% of the Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion, which may not be increased on less than 61 days’ notice (the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”).

 

As of the close of business on September 30, 2024, the Reporting Persons and the Partners Managed Account hold Tranche A Warrants to purchase shares of Series A-3 Preferred Stock, which in turn are convertible into an aggregate of 9,144,111 Shares, subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. The Tranche A Warrants are exercisable at any time upon issuance at an exercise price per share of Series A-3 Preferred Stock (the “Tranche A Exercise Price”) equal to 110% of the Conversion Price (as defined in the Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of the Series A Convertible Voting Preferred Stock (the “Series A Certificate of Designation”)) and expire 21 days following the Issuer’s announcement of receipt of FDA approval for Renazorb. As of the close of business on September 30, 2024, assuming all of the Tranche A Warrants held in the aggregate by the Reporting Persons and the Partners Managed Account were exercised for Series A-3 Preferred Stock, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation would not limit the exercise of any of the Series A-3 Preferred Stock held by them.

 

As of the close of business on September 30, 2024, the Reporting Persons and the Partners Managed Account held Tranche B Warrants to purchase shares of Series A-4 Preferred Stock, which in turn are convertible into an aggregate of 8,312,814 Shares, subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. The Tranche B Warrants are exercisable at any time upon issuance at an exercise price per share of Series A-4 Preferred Stock (the “Tranche B Exercise Price”) equal to 110% of the Tranche A Exercise Price and expire 21 days following the Issuer’s announcement of receipt of Transitional Drug Add-On Payment Adjustment approval for Renazorb. As of the close of business on September 30, 2024, assuming all of the Tranche B Warrants held in the aggregate by the Reporting Persons and the Partners Managed Account were exercised for Series A-4 Preferred Stock, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation would limit the exercise of the Series A-4 Preferred Stock to 1,327,119 out of the 8,312,814 Shares underlying the Series A-4 Preferred Stock.

 

As of the close of business on September 30, 2024, the Reporting Persons and the Partners Managed Account held Tranche C Warrants to purchase shares of Series A-5 Preferred Stock, which in turn are convertible into an aggregate of 13,300,527 Shares, subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. The Tranche C Warrants are exercisable at any time upon issuance at an exercise price per share of Series A-5 Preferred Stock equal to 125% of the Tranche B Exercise Price and expire 21 days following the Issuer’s public disclosure of financial results for four quarters of commercial sales of Renazorb following receipt of Transitional Drug Add-On Payment Adjustment approval for Renazorb, commencing with the first quarter in which the Issuer receives revenue from Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services for Renazorb under the Transitional Drug Add-On Payment Adjustment. As of the close of business on September 30, 2024, assuming all of the Tranche C Warrants held in the aggregate by the Reporting Persons and the Partners Managed Account were exercised for Series A-5 Preferred Stock, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation would prohibit the conversion of any of the Series A-5 Preferred Stock held by them.
