CUSIP No. 629444 100

The following constitutes Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule 13D filed by the undersigned (“Amendment No. 1”). This Amendment No. 1 amends the Schedule 13D as specifically set forth herein.

Item 6.

Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

Item 6 is amended to add the following:

Effective June 13, 2022, Jonathan Javitt Living Trust (“J. Javitt Living Trust”) entered into a Sales Plan (as amended on June 16, 2022, the “2022 Sales Plan”) with J.P. Morgan Securities LLC (“JPMS”) for the purpose of establishing a trading plan to effect sales of shares of Common Stock in compliance with all applicable laws, including, without limitation, Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, including, but not limited to, Rule 10b5-1. The 2022 Sales Plan allows for the sale of up to 2,000,000 of shares of Common Stock at certain prices above the closing price of the shares of Common Stock as of June 13, 2022 by JPMS on behalf of J. Javitt Living Trust, with a maximum of 1,000,000 shares to be sold in 2022 at a price of at least $2.50 and a maximum of 1,000,000 shares to be sold in 2023 at a higher minimum price. The 2022 Sales Plan does not contemplate the sale of securities prior to October 2022. The 2022 Sales Plan was entered into during the Issuer’s open trading window to allow for the possibility that the trustee of the J. Javitt Living Trust may be in possession of material nonpublic information during future open trading windows and, therefore, unable to implement a trading plan at such time.

Shares of Common Stock sold pursuant to the 2020 Sales Plan Agreement may only be sold in accordance with trading parameters adopted by J. Javitt Living Trust, and there can be no assurance as to how many shares of Common Stock, if any, will be sold pursuant to the 2022 Sales Plan or at what price any such shares of Common Stock will be sold, subject to the applicable minimum trading parameters.
