Such common stock purchase warrants are collectively referred to as the Existing Warrants, and the shares of Common Stock underlying the common stock purchase warrants are collectively referred to herein as the Warrant Shares. The Warrant Shares were registered on behalf of the selling stockholder, to be offered and sold from time to time, to satisfy certain registration rights that we have granted to the selling stockholder pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement and the Exercise Agreement.

AMENDMENTS TO EXISTING WARRANTS

This Supplement is being filed to disclose the following:

On October 12, 2023, we entered into a warrant inducement agreement (the “Warrant Inducement Agreement”) with an institutional investor that is the holder of the Existing Warrants (the “Warrant Inducement Transaction”). Pursuant to the Warrant Inducement Transaction, the investor agreed to exercise for cash warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 10,892,728 shares of Common Stock (the “Inducement Warrants”), including the Existing Warrants, at an exercise price of $0.7785 per share during the period from the date of the Warrant Inducement Agreement until 7:30 a.m., Eastern Time, on October 26, 2023, in exchange for the Company’s agreement to issue new warrants to purchase up to a number of shares of common stock equal to 100% of the number of shares issued to the investor upon exercise of the Inducement Warrants (the “New Warrants”). Accordingly, upon exercise of all of the Inducement Warrants, the investor will receive New Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 10,892,728 shares of common stock.

As previously reported, the Existing Warrants were not exercisable until the receipt of stockholder approval for the exercisability of the Existing Warrants. In order to permit the exercise of such Existing Warrants pursuant to the rules of the NASDAQ Capital Market, the investor agreed to pay as additional consideration $0.25 per share of common stock issued upon exercise of the Existing Warrants. The New Warrants will be immediately exercisable upon issuance at an exercise price of $0.336 per share of Common Stock underlying such New Warrants and will expire on October 16, 2028.
