We are filing this Amendment No. 1 pursuant to General Instruction G(3) of Form 10-K, as we do not intend to file a definitive proxy statement for the 2024 annual meeting of stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) within 120 days of the end of our fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. Accordingly, this Amendment is being filed solely to:

●

file new certifications of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer as exhibits to this Amendment No. 1 under Item 15 of Part IV hereof pursuant to Rule 13a-14(a) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Because no financial statements have been included in this Amendment No. 1, and because this Amendment No. 1 does not contain or amend any disclosure with respect to paragraphs 3, 4 and 5 of Items 307 and 308 of Regulation S-K, the corresponding certifications have been omitted. We are not including the certifications under Section 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 as no financial statements are being filed with this Amendment No. 1.

Except as set forth above, no other Items of our 2023 Annual Report have been amended or revised in this Amendment No. 1, and all such other Items shall be as set forth in such 2023 Annual Report.

Section 16(a) Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our directors, executive officers and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of our equity securities to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. Such persons are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all such filings.

Code of Ethics and Conduct

We have in place a Corporate Code of Ethics and Conduct (the “Code of Ethics”) that applies to all of our directors, officers, employees, agents and contractors. The Code of Ethics is designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote:

Item 11. Executive Compensation

COMPENSATION AND OTHER INFORMATION CONCERNING

DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

Our compensation philosophy is to offer our executive officers compensation and benefits that are competitive and meet our goals of attracting, retaining and motivating highly skilled management, which is necessary to achieve our financial and strategic objectives and create long-term value for our stockholders. We believe the levels of compensation we provide should be competitive, reasonable and appropriate for our business needs and circumstances. The principal elements of our executive compensation program have to date included base salary and long-term equity compensation in the form of stock options. We believe successful long-term Company performance is more critical to enhancing stockholder value than short-term results. For this reason and to conserve cash and better align the interests of management and our stockholders, we emphasize long-term performance-based equity compensation over base annual salaries.

The following table sets forth information concerning the compensation earned by the individual that served as our Principal Executive Officer during 2023 and our two most highly compensated executive officers other than the individual who served as our Principal Executive Officer during 2023 (collectively, the “named executive officers”):
