Item 4.

Ownership:

Reference is hereby made to Items 5-9 and 11 of pages 2-5 of this Schedule, which Items are incorporated by reference herein.

The securities to which this Schedule relates (the “Securities”) are owned by certain investment limited partnerships for which SIM serves as general partner and investment manager. SIM, as those investment limited partnerships’ general partner and investment manager, and Paul Stephens as managing member and owner of SIM, may therefore be deemed to beneficially own Securities owned by such investment limited partnerships for the purposes of Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Act”), insofar as they may be deemed to have the power to direct the voting or disposition of those Securities.

Neither the filing of this Schedule nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission that SIM or Paul Stephens is, for any other purpose, the beneficial owner of any of the Securities, and each of SIM and Paul Stephens disclaims beneficial ownership as to the Securities, except to the extent of his or its pecuniary interests therein.

Under the definition of “beneficial ownership” in Rule 13d-3 under the Act, it is also possible that the individual general partners, executive officers, and members of the foregoing entities might be deemed the “beneficial owners” of some or all of the Securities insofar as they may be deemed to share the power to direct the voting or disposition of the Securities. Neither the filing of this Schedule nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission that any of such individuals is, for any purpose, the beneficial owner of any of the Securities, and such beneficial ownership is expressly disclaimed.

The calculation of percentage of beneficial ownership in item 11 of pages 2-5 was derived from the Quarterly Report published by the Issuer in which the Issuer stated that the number of shares of its common stock outstanding as of November 10, 2021 was 105,189,558 shares.
