On January 31, 2024 (the “Execution Date”), the Issuer and Ault Lending entered into a securities purchase agreement, pursuant to which the Issuer agreed to sell to Ault Lending up to 6,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase Shares.

On the Execution Date, the Issuer sold 1,220 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase 1,220,000 Shares to Ault Lending, for a total purchase price of $1.22 million. Each share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock has a stated value of $1,000 per share (the “Stated Value”) and is convertible into a number of Shares determined by dividing the Stated Value by $1.00 (the “Conversion Price”). The Conversion Price is subject to adjustment in the event of an issuance of Shares at a price per share lower than the Conversion Price then in effect, as well as upon customary stock splits, stock dividends, combinations or similar events. The warrants have an exercise price of $1.20 (the “Exercise Price”) and become exercisable on the first business day after the six-month anniversary of issuance and have a five-year term, expiring on the fifth anniversary of the date that they first become exercisable.The Exercise Price is subject to adjustment in the event of an issuance of Shares at a price per share lower than the Exercise Price then in effect, as well as upon customary stock splits, stock dividends, combinations or similar events. Copies of the securities purchase agreement, certificate of designation of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and form of warrant are attached as exhibits hereto and are incorporated herein by reference.
