| Explanation of Responses: |
| 1. On March 6, 2025, the expiration date of the Warrants was extended from April 7, 2025 to May 7, 2025. The Warrants are exercisable at the warrantholder's option at any time, in whole or in part, through May 7, 2025, at an exercise price of $2.96 per share of Common Stock, with respect to two-thirds of the Warrants (or the right to purchase 1,115,972 shares of Common Stock), and at an exercise price of $4.94 per share of Common Stock, with respect to the other one-third of the Warrants (or the right to purchase 557,986 shares of Common Stock). The exercise price and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants are subject to customary antidilution adjustments. The Issuer is not required to effect an exercise of Warrants, if after giving effect to the issuance of Common Stock upon exercise of such Warrants, such warrantholder together with its affiliates would beneficially own 49% or more of the Issuer's outstanding Common Stock. |
