Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

Item 4 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

“As disclosed in the Issuer’s press release dated November 27, 2023 (the “Spangenberg Press Release”), the Board of Directors appointed Mr. Erich Spangenberg to serve as (i) a director on the Board of Directors, (ii) Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Issuer, and (iii) Chairman of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Issuer. As disclosed in the Issuer’s press release dated February 12, 2024 (the “DiMaio Board Appointment and Lock-Up Extension Press Release”), (i) the Board of Directors also appointed John Michael DiMaio to serve as a director on the Board of Directors, effective February 7, 2024, and (ii) the Reporting Persons agreed to an additional six-month extension of their current lock-up of their outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Issuer pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement.

The foregoing descriptions of the Spangenberg Press Release and the DiMaio Board Appointment and Lock-Up Extension Press Release do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Spangenberg Press Release and the DiMaio Board Appointment and Lock-Up Extension Press Release, each of which are incorporated herein by reference to Exhibit 99.5 and Exhibit 99.6 to this Schedule 13D, respectively.

In addition, the Reporting Persons have in the past, and may in the future, engage in discussions with the Issuer’s management, Board of Directors, and/or other shareholders or third parties covering a broad range of subjects, including relative to performance, strategic direction, capital allocation, strategic financing opportunities, potential business combinations or other transactions involving the Issuer, shareholder value, composition of the Board of Directors, and governance and/or ownership of the Issuer. For example, the Reporting Persons, together with Dr. DiMaio, intend to propose (i) increasing the number of directors serving on the Board of Directors in order to bring additional skill sets and relationships to the Board of Directors, (ii) creating additional specialized standing committees of the Board of Directors, including, in addition to an executive committee, committees focused on finance, regulatory approvals, technology, and commercialization, (iii) identifying and nominating certain candidates to serve on the Board of Directors in addition to those, at the current time, up to four individuals currently serving on the Board of Directors, (iv) seeking additional distinguished members to serve on the Board of Directors to further support the Issuer, (v) certain changes to the management of the Issuer, (vi) proposing various strategies to address what the Reporting Persons believe are illegal “naked short” trading strategies being executed by a fund or funds and enabled by various trading intermediaries, including such fund’s or funds’ prime brokerages, and (vii) exploring strategic options with respect to the ownership of the Issuer, including potential investment by strategic investors and going private transactions.

The Reporting Persons intend to review their investment in the Issuer on a continuing basis taking into consideration various factors, including the Issuer’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects, general economic and industry conditions, the securities markets in general and those for shares of Common Stock of the Issuer, in particular, as well as other developments and other investment opportunities. Based upon such review, the Reporting Persons will take such actions in the future as the Reporting Persons may deem appropriate in light of the circumstances existing from time to time, which may include acquisitions of shares of Common Stock of the Issuer or disposal of some or all of the shares of Common Stock of the Issuer owned by the Reporting Persons or otherwise acquired by the Reporting Persons, either in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions.

Any open market or privately negotiated purchases or sales, acquisition recommendations or proposals or other transactions concerning the Issuer may be made at any time without prior notice. Any alternative may depend upon a variety of factors, including, without limitation, current and anticipated future trading prices of the securities, the financial condition, results of operations and prospects of the Issuer and general industry conditions, the availability, form and terms of financing, other investment and business opportunities, general stock market and economic conditions, tax considerations and other factors. Although this Item 4 reflects plans and proposals presently contemplated by the Reporting Persons with respect to the Issuer, the information herein is subject to change at any time and dependent upon contingencies and assumed and speculative conditions, and there can be no assurance that any of the actions set forth herein will be taken.

Depending upon each factor discussed above and any other factor (which may be unknown at this time) that is, or may become relevant, the Reporting Persons may consider, among other things: (a) the acquisition by the Reporting Persons of additional securities of the Issuer, the disposition of securities of the Issuer, or the exercise of convertible securities of the Issuer; (b) an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; (c) a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; (d) changes in the present Board of Directors or management of the Issuer; (e) a material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer; (f) any other material change in the Issuer’s business or corporate structure; (g) changes in the Issuer’s articles of incorporation, bylaws or instruments corresponding thereto or other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person; (h) causing any class of the Issuer’s securities to be delisted from a national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association; (i) a class of equity securities of the Issuer becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Act; or (j) any action similar to those enumerated above.

Except to the extent that the foregoing may be deemed to be a plan or proposal, the Reporting Persons currently have no plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the actions specified in clause (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. Depending upon the foregoing factors and to the extent deemed advisable in light of their overall investment portfolio and strategies, or other factors, the Reporting Persons may, at any time and from time to time, formulate other purposes, plans or proposals regarding the Issuer or the shares of Common Stock of the Issuer, or any other actions that could involve one or more of the types of transactions or have one or more of the results described in paragraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. The foregoing is subject to change at any time, and there can be no assurance that any of the Reporting Persons will take any of the actions set forth above.”

“(a)

The Reporting Persons acknowledge and agree that they are acting as a “group” with another stockholder of the Issuer, John Michael DiMaio, within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Act. Based in part on information provided by or on behalf of Dr. DiMaio, as of February 23, 2024, such a “group” would be deemed to beneficially own an aggregate of 7,222,039 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer, or 44.4% of the total number of shares of Common Stock of the Issuer outstanding. Dr. DiMaio separately makes a Schedule 13D filing reporting his beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock of the Issuer.

Pursuant to Rule 13d-4 of the Act, each Reporting Person expressly declares that the filing of this Statement shall not be construed as an admission that any such person is, for the purposes of Section 13(d) and/or Section 13(g) of the Act or otherwise, the beneficial owner of any securities covered by this Statement held by any other person, including without limitation Dr. DiMaio. Each Reporting Person expressly disclaims that it has agreed to act as a group with respect to the Issuer or securities of the Issuer for the purposes of Section 13(d) or 13(g) of the Act other than as described in this Schedule 13D.

(c)
