The contents of the earlier registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-273372) initially filed by the Registrant with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on July 21, 2023, as amended by Pre-Effective Amendment Nos. 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 filed with the Commission on August 14, 2023, August 18, 2023, August 30, 2023, September 5, 2023 and September 11, 2023, respectively (the “Prior Registration Statement”), which was declared effective by the Commission on September 13, 2023, and all exhibits thereto are incorporated in this Registration Statement by reference. This Registration Statement also registers an additional 2,500 shares of Series J Convertible Preferred Stock issuable from time to time upon exercise of the Warrants.
