Reporting Persons beneficially own a Warrant to Purchase Common Stock (the “Warrant”) and a Secured Convertible Note (the
“Convertible Note”), in each case issued by the Issuer on May 14, 2024. As of June 6, 2024, the Warrant entitled the Reporting
Persons to acquire up to 1,073,722 shares of Common Stock upon a cash exercise of the Warrant. The Warrant also includes a cashless exercise
provision, which may result in the issuance of a greater number of shares of Common Stock. As of June 6, 2024, the Reporting Persons
had the right to acquire up to an estimated 1,808,074 shares of Common Stock upon a cashless exercise of the Warrant. As of June 6, 2024,
the Convertible Note had a principal amount of $1,122,206.46. The Convertible Note has a conversion price that floats based on the current
market price of the Common Stock, subject to a floor of $1.16 per share. Accordingly, the Reporting Persons may acquire up to 1,010,551
shares of Common Stock upon conversion in full of the Convertible Note, assuming the principal of, and all accrued interest on, the Convertible
Note is converted in full on its maturity date at the floor price. Each of the Warrant and Convertible Note includes a beneficial ownership
limitation. The Warrant may not be exercised, and the Convertible Note may not be converted, to the extent the Reporting Persons would
beneficially own more than 9.99% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Issuer. The beneficial ownership set forth below takes into account
the foregoing limitation. The percentage ownership is calculated using 11,923,624 shares of Common Stock outstanding, which is based
on 11,412,596 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of May 9, 2024 as disclosed in the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and
511,028 shares of Common Stock issued to the Reporting Persons on June 3, 2024.
