However, as more fully described in Item 4, the securities reported in rows (6), (8) and (9) show the number of shares of Common Stock that would be issuable upon full exercise of such reported securities and do not give effect to such blockers. Therefore, the actual number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Reporting Person, after giving effect to such blockers, is less than the number of securities reported in rows (6), (8) and (9).

Item 4.     Ownership

 

Provide the following information regarding the aggregate number and percentage of the class of securities of the issuer identified in Item 1.

 

The information as of the date of the event which requires filing of this statement required by Items 4(a) – (c) is set forth in Rows 5 – 11 of the cover page for each Reporting Person hereto and is incorporated herein by reference for each such Reporting Person. The percentage set forth in Row 11 of the cover page for each Reporting Person is based on 37,732,530 shares of Common Stock, which represents the number of issued and outstanding as of August 11, 2023, as represented in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 14, 2023 and assumes the exercise of the Company’s reported warrants (the “Reported Warrants”) and conversion of the Company’s reported preferred stock (the “Reported Preferred Stock”), each subject to the Blockers (as defined below).

 

Pursuant to the terms of certain of the Reported Warrants and the certificates of designations containing the terms of the Reported Preferred Stock, the Reporting Persons cannot exercise certain of the Reported Warrants or convert the Reported Preferred Stock to the extent the Reporting Persons would beneficially own, after any such exercise or conversion, more than 9.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (other than certain Reported Warrants which are subject to a 4.99% blocker) (collectively, the “Blockers”), and the percentage set forth in Row 11 of the cover page for each Reporting Person gives effect to the Blockers. Consequently, as of the date of the event which requires the filing of this statement, the Reporting Persons were not able to exercise all of the Reported Warrants or convert all of the Reported Preferred Stock, which are each subject to the Blockers.

 

As of the date of the event which requires filing of this statement, Iroquois Master Fund Ltd. (“Iroquois Master Fund”) held Reported Warrants to purchase 5,199,774 shares of Common Stock (subject to the Blockers) and Reported Preferred Stock convertible into 5,000,950 shares of Common Stock (subject to the Blockers), and Iroquois Capital Investment Group LLC (“ICIG”) held Reported Warrants to purchase 9,154,356 shares of Common Stock (subject to the Blockers) and Reported Preferred Stock convertible into 9,000,490 shares of Common Stock (subject to the Blockers).

 

Mr. Abbe shares authority and responsibility for the investments made on behalf of Iroquois Master Fund with Ms. Kimberly Page, each of whom is a director of the Iroquois Master Fund. As such, Mr. Abbe and Ms. Page may each be deemed to be the beneficial owner of all shares of Common Stock held by and underlying the Reported Warrants and Reported Preferred Stock (each subject to the Blockers) held by, Iroquois Master Fund. Iroquois Capital is the investment advisor for Iroquois Master Fund and Mr. Abbe is the President of Iroquois Capital. Mr. Abbe has the sole authority and responsibility for the investments made on behalf of ICIG. As such, Mr. Abbe may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of all shares of Common Stock held by and underlying the Reported Warrants and Reported Preferred Stock (each subject to the Blockers) held by, Iroquois Master Fund and ICIG. The foregoing should not be construed in and of itself as an admission by any Reporting Person as to beneficial ownership of shares of

 

Common Stock owned by another Reporting Person. Each of the Reporting Persons hereby disclaims any beneficial ownership of any such shares of Common Stock except to the extent of their pecuniary interest therein.

 

Item 5.     Ownership of Five Percent or Less of a Class

 

If this statement is being filed to report the fact that as of the date hereof the reporting person has ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent of the class of securities, check the following:   o

 

Item 6.     Ownership of More than Five Percent on Behalf of Another Person

Item 7.     Identification and Classification of the Subsidiary Which Acquired the Security Being Reported on By the Parent Holding Company or Control Person
