Each Exchange Warrant will have an initial exercise price of $0.0001 per share of Common Stock, subject to certain adjustments.

The Exchange Warrants will be issued without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), in reliance on the exemption from registration contained in Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act. The Exchange is expected to close on January 13, 2025. Following the closing of the Exchange on such date, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is estimated to be 68,333,065.
The foregoing description of the Exchange Warrants does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form of Exchange Warrant, which is filed as Exhibit 4.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-Kand is incorporated by reference herein.
