Amendment No. 26 to Schedule 13D
The following constitutes Amendment No. 26 to the Schedule 13D filed by the undersigned (“Amendment No. 26”). This Amendment No. 26 amends the Schedule 13D as
specifically set forth herein.
All capitalized terms contained herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 13D, as amended. Information
given in response to each item shall be deemed incorporated by reference in all other items, as applicable.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer
Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated as follows:
The information in Item 4 is incorporated herein by reference.
(a) and (b) Items 7 through 11 and 13 of each of the cover pages of this Schedule 13D are incorporated herein by reference. The shares of Common Stock reported
to be beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons are based on 13,184,104 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of February 7, 2023, based on information in the Issuer’s Prospectus Supplement filed with the SEC on February 3, 2023. Of the 4,748,333
shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons that are directly held by the Master Fund, 333,333 of such shares of Common Stock are issuable upon exercise of warrants directly held by the Master Fund and beneficially owned by the
Reporting Persons.
Armistice Capital is the investment manager of the Master Fund, and pursuant to an Investment Management Agreement, Armistice Capital exercises voting and
investment power over the securities of the Issuer held by the Master Fund and thus may be deemed to beneficially own the securities of the Issuer held by the Master Fund. Mr. Boyd, as the managing member of Armistice Capital, may be deemed to
beneficially own the securities of the Issuer held by the Master Fund. The Master Fund specifically disclaims beneficial ownership of the securities of the Issuer directly held by it by virtue of its inability to vote or dispose of such securities as
a result of its Investment Management Agreement with Armistice Capital.
(c) Except as disclosed in Schedule A hereto or elsewhere in this Schedule 13D, as amended, there have been no transactions in the shares of Common Stock by the
Reporting Persons within the past 60 days.
(d) The disclosure in Item 2 is incorporated herein by reference.
(e) Not applicable.
Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer
The Master Fund acquired 450,000 warrants to purchase Common Stock (the “2023 Warrants”) together with the 450,000 shares of Common Stock referenced in Item 5(c)
for $3.98 per share of Common Stock and each 2023 Warrant. The 2023 Warrants have an exercise price of $5.00 and expire on the first anniversary of issuance. The 2023 Warrants are subject to a 4.99% beneficial ownership limitation on exercise and
therefore have no current effect on beneficial ownership.
SIGNATURE
After reasonable inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and belief, I certify that the information set forth in this statement is true, complete and correct.
