The Holding Company is wholly owned by the private fund, ATW Opportunities Master Fund II, L.P. (the “Fund”).

Antonio Ruiz-Gimenez and Kerry Propper serve as the managing members of the Adviser (the “Managing Members”, and collectively with the Holding Company, Fund, and Adviser, the “Reporting Persons”). By virtue of these relationships, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to have shared voting and dispositive power with respect to the Shares owned directly by the Holding Company.

Further, each of (i) - (iii) are subject to a blocker which prevents the Holding Company from exercising its warrants and convertible debt to purchase Shares or otherwise convert such instruments into Shares to the extent that, upon such exercise, the Holding Company, together with its affiliates would beneficially own in excess of 9.99% of the Shares outstanding as a result of such exercise or conversion (the “Blocker”).

As such, the percent of class reported herein is giving effect to the Blocker and is based upon a statement in the Issuer’s Form 10-Q filed on August 19, 2024 that there were 24,362,546 Shares outstanding as of August 12, 2024 plus the approximate total number of Shares that the Reporting Persons have acquired and can acquire upon the exercise of warrants and/or convertible debt subject to the Blocker in accordance with Rule 13d-3(d)(1)(i) under the Act.

This report shall not be deemed an admission that the Reporting Persons are beneficial owners of the Shares for purposes of Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or for any other purpose. Each of the Reporting Persons disclaims beneficial ownership of the Shares reported herein except to the extent of the Reporting Person’s pecuniary interest, if any, therein.
