This Amendment No. 9 to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment”) amends and supplements the Schedule 13D previously filed by Acuitas Group Holdings, LLC, a California limited liability company (“Acuitas”), and Terren S.

All percentages of shares of Common Stock outstanding contained herein are based on 42,325,296 shares of Common Stock deemed outstanding pursuant to Rule 13d-3(d)(1), calculated as the sum of (i) 34,987,568 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of February 1, 2023, as reported by the Issuer in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on February 10, 2023, (ii) 7,272,728 shares of Common Stock that may be issued upon the exercise of the Warrant previously issued to Acuitas on August 15, 2022, as previously described in Item 4 of this Statement, and (iii) an aggregate of 65,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of options previously granted to Mr. Peizer on November 23, 2022, which options automatically became fully vested and exercisable as of March 2, 2023 pursuant to their terms upon Mr. Peizer’s resignation as Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company.
