Item 4. Ownership.
The information required by this Item 4 with respect to each Reporting Person is set forth in Rows 5 through 9 and 11 of the cover pages to this Amendment No. 1 and is incorporated herein by reference for each such Reporting Person. The ownership percentages reported are based on 555,770 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of August 9, 2024, as disclosed in the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal period ended June 30, 2024, filed by the Issuer with the SEC on August 14, 2024, and (ii) up to 100,000 shares of Common Stock that may be issued upon full exercise of a Common Stock purchase warrant held by 3i (the “Warrants”), which exercises are subject to a 9.99% beneficial ownership limitation provision. Such ownership percentages give effect to the Reverse Stock Split.
3i is the holder of Warrants to purchase up to 61,683 shares of Common Stock, after giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split and the 9.99% beneficial ownership limitation provision in such Warrants. Pursuant to such beneficial ownership limitation provision, 3i is prohibited from exercising the Warrants if, as a result of such exercise, the holder, together with its affiliates and any persons acting as a group together with such holder or any of such affiliates, would beneficially own more than 9.99% of the total number of shares of Common Stock then issued and outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise.
Consequently, 3i is the beneficial owner of 61,683 shares of Common Stock (the “Shares”). 3i has the power to dispose of and the power to vote the Shares beneficially owned by it, which power may be exercised by 3i Management, the manager and general partner of 3i. Mr. Tarlow, as the manager of 3i Management, has shared power to vote and/or dispose of the Shares beneficially owned by each of 3i and 3i Management. Mr. Tarlow does not directly own the Shares. By reason of the provisions of Rule 13d-3 of the Act, Mr. Tarlow may be deemed to beneficially own the Shares beneficially owned by 3i and 3i Management, and 3i Management may be deemed to beneficially own the Shares beneficially owned by 3i.
