Item
3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
The information contained
in Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the information below.
On September 6, 2018, the
Issuer issued 14,073,844 shares of Common Stock and 94,813,594 Series E Warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock with terms
identical to those of the Series C Warrants (the “Series E Warrants”) in connection with a mandatory conversion of the
Series A Preferred Stock.
As a result of the mandatory
conversion, the Issuer converted all outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock and/or Series
E Warrants, upon which each holder of Series A Preferred Stock received, for each share of Series A Preferred Stock being converted,
a number of shares of Common Stock and/or a number of Series E Warrants, in aggregate equal to the conversion rate. The initial
conversion rate for the Series A Preferred Stock is 3,271.4653 shares of Common Stock, or, if a warrant election is made, 3,271.4653
Series E Warrants (with shares of Common Stock or Series E Warrants, as applicable, issued in whole integral multiples, rounded
down in lieu of any fractional shares or warrants, as applicable), per share of Series A Preferred Stock. The Funds,
elected to receive solely Series E Warrants. The Funds received an aggregate of 27,719,122 Series E Warrants.
Each Series E Warrant is
immediately exercisable by the holder for one share of Common Stock at a price equal to $0.0001. The Series E Warrants are also
exercisable at the option of the Issuer in connection with a full redemption of the Series A Preferred Stock or upon a change of
control of the Issuer. At all times a holder of Series E Warrants, who is not a beneficial owner of 10% or more of the outstanding
Common Stock, may exercise only up to that number of Series E Warrants so that, upon exercise, the aggregate beneficial ownership
of Common Stock of such holder and all persons affiliated with such holder, is not more than 9.99% of Common Stock then outstanding
(other than in connection with a change of control of the Issuer).
The foregoing summary of
the Series E Warrants does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the
Series E Warrant Agreement a copy of which is incorporated by reference as Exhibit 19 in Item 7 of this Schedule 13D and is incorporated
herein by reference.
