(the "Issuer") reported herein represents the approximate number of Shares that may be issued and sold to SZOP Opportunities I LLC ("SZOP Opportunities") pursuant to that certain Equity Purchase Facility Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") between SZOP Opportunities and the Issuer, dated as of October 26, 2025. SZOP Opportunities is wholly owned by SZOP Opportunities Management LLC (the "Manager," and collectively with SZOP Opportunities, the "Reporting Persons"). The Manager is managed by a board of managers comprised of three persons which requires that voting and disposition decisions with respect to the Shares be approved by a majority of the managers. By virtue of their relationship, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to have shared voting and dispositive power with respect to the Shares that SZOP Opportunities may be required to purchase pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. Under the Purchase Agreement, at the Issuer's sole discretion, SZOP Opportunities may be required to purchase Shares, in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions and limitations of the Purchase Agreement. One of such limitations is that the Purchase Agreement prohibits SZOP Opportunities from purchasing any Shares, which, when aggregated with all other Shares then beneficially owned by SZOP Opportunities and its affiliates, would result in the beneficial ownership by SZOP Opportunities and its affiliates to exceed 9.99% of the Shares outstanding (the "Ownership Limitation"). For the sake of clarity, affiliates of the Reporting Persons are also subject to contractual limitations that prohibit them from acquiring beneficial ownership of any Shares to the extent that such affiliate, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own in excess of 9.99% of the Shares outstanding. As such, the percent of class reported herein is giving effect to the Ownership Limitation and is based upon 6,840,174 Shares outstanding as of June 16, 2026, as reported in the Issuer's Form S-1/A filed on June 22, 2026, plus the approximate total number of Shares that the Reporting Persons may acquire at the direction of the Issuer (subject to the Ownership Limitation) in accordance with Rule 13d-3(d)(1)(i) under the Act. The Reporting Persons are electing to file this Schedule 13G solely to the extent that, for the purposes of Section 240.13d-3, the Reporting Persons are deemed to beneficially own the Shares pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. The filing of this report shall not be deemed an admission, for purposes of Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or for any other purpose. Each of the Reporting Persons disclaims beneficial ownership of the Shares reported herein except to the extent of such Reporting Person's pecuniary interest, if any, therein.
