        <amountBeneficiallyOwned>5,156,980. This amount consists of (i) 2,125,150 shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of 190 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series A Preferred Stock") based on a conversion price of $4.47 per share, and (ii) 3,031,830 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of 190 common stock purchase warrants ("Common Warrants") based on an initial exercise price of $5.405 per share. The Series A Preferred Stock and Common Warrants were sold by the issuer to the Reporting Person on September 9, 2025. Pursuant to the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock and Common Warrants, the Issuer cannot issue shares of common stock to the Reporting Person, and the Reporting Person cannot convert its Series A Preferred Stock or exercise its Common Warrants, to the extent that the Reporting Person would beneficially own, after any such issuance, conversion or exercise, more than 9.9% of the then issued and outstanding shares of the issuer's common stock (the "Beneficial Ownership Maximum").</amountBeneficiallyOwned>
        <classPercent>9.9%. This percentage is based on 29,168,154 shares of the Issuer's common stock outstanding as of January 26, 2026, as reported in the Issuer's prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 13, 2026, and gives effect to the Beneficial Ownership Maximum. Consequently, due to the Beneficial Ownership Maximum, as of the date of the event which requires filing of this statement, the Reporting Person could not convert all of its Series A Preferred Stock and could not exercise all of its Common Warrants.</classPercent>
