    <exhibitInfo>As of March 31, 2026, the Reporting Persons beneficially own 394,668 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of warrants. The Reporting Persons hold warrants exercisable for 596,854 shares; however, such warrants contain a beneficial ownership limitation that prohibits exercise to the extent it would cause the holder's beneficial ownership to exceed 9.99% of the outstanding Common Stock. Based on 3,950,628 shares of Common Stock outstanding (per the Form 10-K dated March 25, 2026), the 9.99% limitation permits exercise of only 394,668 warrant shares. Position held by Alyeska Master Fund, L.P. Alyeska Investment Group, L.P., as investment manager, exercises voting and investment control over the shares held by Alyeska Master Fund, L.P.
