Item 4.  Ownership.

 

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 Schedule 13G and is incorporated herein by reference into this Item 4 for each such Reporting Person. The ownership percentages reported on the cover pages are based on 6,986,409 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of January 12, 2024, as reported in the Issuer’s Registration Statement on Form S-1, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 23, 2024.

 

As of December 31, 2023, 3i held a senior unsecured convertible note (the “Note”) in the aggregate original principal amount of $2,750,000. The Note is convertible (in whole or in part), at the election of 3i, at any time prior to December 27, 2024 into the number of shares of Common Stock equal to (x) the sum of (i) the portion of the principal amount to be converted or redeemed, (ii) all accrued and unpaid interest with respect to such principal amount, and (iii) all accrued and unpaid late charges with respect to such principal and interest amounts, if any, divided by (y) a conversion price of $6.1421 per share. In addition, if an event of default has occurred under the Note, 3i may elect to convert all or a portion of the Note into shares of Common Stock at an “alternate conversion price” equal to 90% of the lowest daily volume-weighted average price (“VWAP”) of Common Stock during the ten trading days immediately preceding the date of conversion, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Note.

 

The Note includes certain share issuance caps and beneficial ownership limitations specified therein (the “Blocker Provisions”). Pursuant to the Blocker Provisions, 3i is prohibited from converting the Note into shares of Common Stock if, as a result of such conversion, 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 the conversion.

 

The number of shares reported as beneficially owned by each Reporting Person reflects the sum of (i) 447,729 shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Note at the election of 3i (assuming the aggregate original principal amount of $2,750,000 is converted at $6.1421 per share), and (ii) 39,654 shares of Common Stock previously issued to 3i in connection with its commitment to purchase the Note.
