        <percentageOfClassSecurities>See rows (11) and (13) of the cover pages to this Schedule 13D for the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock and percentages of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons. The aggregate percentage of shares of Common Stock reported to be beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons is based upon 58,368,659 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of April 6, 2026, as reported in the Merger Agreement, filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K, filed by the Issuer on April 8, 2026, and assumes the exercise of Reported Warrants, subject to the 9.99% Blocker.

Each of the Reported Warrants includes a voluntary blocker provision that would prohibit any person from exercising the Reported Warrants to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, such person (together with their affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% or 9.99% (as specified by such person) of the shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise. The Reporting Persons have elected to have a 9.99% blocker (the "9.99% Blocker"). The percentage set forth in Row (11) of the cover page for each of the Reporting Persons gives effect to the 9.99% Blocker. Consequently, at this time, the Reporting Persons are not able to exercise all of such Reported Warrants due to the 9.99% Blocker.</percentageOfClassSecurities>

        <contractDescription>The information set forth in Item 4 is incorporated herein by reference.

The Global Fund has entered into cash-settled swaps which represent economic exposure comparable to a notional interest in 1,500,000 shares of Common Stock (representing economic exposure comparable to approximately 2.6% of the outstanding Common Stock) with Jefferies Financial Products, LLC. Under the terms of the swaps, (i) the Global Fund will be obligated to pay to the counterparty any negative price performance of the specified notional number of Common Stock subject to the swaps as of the expiration date of such swaps, plus interest rates set forth in the applicable contracts, and (ii) the counterparty will be obligated to pay the Global Fund any positive price performance of the specified notional number of Common Stock subject to the swaps as of the expiration date of the swaps. All balances will be settled in cash. The swaps do not give the Reporting Persons or the Funds direct or indirect voting, investment or dispositive control over any securities of the Issuer and do not require the counterparty thereto to acquire, hold, vote or dispose of any securities of the Issuer. Accordingly, the Reporting Persons disclaim any beneficial ownership of any Common Stock that may be referenced in the swap contracts or Common Stock or other securities or financial instruments that may be held from time to time by any counterparty to the contracts.

Except as set forth herein, there are no other contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) among the persons named in Item 2 hereof and between such persons and any person with respect to any securities of the Issuer, including any class of the Issuer's securities used as a reference security, in connection with any of the following: call options, put options, security-based swaps or any other derivative securities, transfer or voting of any of the securities, finder's fees, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, guarantees of profits, division of profits or loss, or the giving or withholding of proxies.</contractDescription>
