These outstanding common stock warrants (the “Warrants”), which were issued pursuant to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-3, as amended (File No. 333-246346), may be exercised by the holders thereof until 6:30 p.m., Eastern time, on the Redemption Date, at the exercise price of $2.05 per share of Company common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”).

Under the terms of the Warrants, the Company has the right to redeem all of the outstanding Warrants if the VWAP (as defined in the Warrants) exceeds $4.10 per share for twenty (20) consecutive trading days at least three months after the date that the Warrants were issued. This requirement was met for each of the twenty consecutive trading days preceding May 9, 2023. Over this period, the Company had an average last reported sale price of $6.77.

Any Warrants that remain unexercised at 6:30 p.m., Eastern time, on the Redemption Date, will be void and no longer exercisable, and the holders of those Warrants will be entitled to receive only the Redemption Price of $0.01 per Warrant.

The Company received aggregate gross proceeds of $15 million from its rights offering, which was completed in June 2022, and the Company will receive an additional $15 million of gross proceeds, if all the Warrants are exercised prior to the Redemption Date.

None of the Company, its board of directors or employees has made or is making any representation or recommendation to any holder of the Warrants as to whether to exercise or refrain from exercising any Warrants.
