As previously reported in Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 24, 2024 and June 28, 2024, these financings, provided by the Investors, included the issuance of the Notes and, with respect to the June 2024 financing, the issuance of warrants to the Investors.
