Explanatory Note

This Amendment No. 1 (this “Amendment”) amends and supplements the Schedule 13D filed on February 28, 2018 (the “Schedule 13D”) by the Reporting Person relating to the Common Stock of the Issuer. Information reported in the Schedule 13D remains in effect except to the extent that it is amended, restated or superseded by information contained in this Amendment.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

Item 4 is amended to add the following:

On October 4, 2018, the Reporting Person entered into a letter agreement with the Issuer, pursuant to which the Reporting Person and the Issuer agreed that the Reporting Person shall not have the right to exercise any portion of the Issuer stock options held by the Reporting Person to the extent that, after giving effect to such exercise, the Reporting Person, his affiliates and any persons acting as a group together with the Reporting Person or his affiliates, would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Issuer. Upon not less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Issuer, the Reporting Person may increase such beneficial ownership limitation (but not above 9.99%) or decrease such limitation. The beneficial ownership limitation will automatically lapse upon the Issuer entering into a definitive agreement or instrument pursuant to which, among other things, the Issuer would, directly or indirectly, merge into another person or entity or sell all or substantially all of its assets.

As of the close of business on October 4, 2018, the Reporting Person beneficially owned 148,834 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. The percentage in this paragraph relating to beneficial ownership is based on 2,982,665 shares of Common Stock, which is the total number of shares of Common Stock of the Issuer estimated to be outstanding as of September 11, 2018, as reported in the Issuer’s Prospectus Supplement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 26, 2018.

(e) Effective October 4, 2018, as a result of the letter agreement disclosed in Item 4 above, the Reporting Person ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent of the Issuer’s Common Stock, par value $.001 per share.
