The foregoing excludes (I) 12,000,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of a warrant held by Intracoastal (“Intracoastal Warrant 1”) because Intracoastal Warrant 1 is not exercisable until the date that the Issuer effects, among other things, an increase in its authorized shares of Common Stock (and Intracoastal Warrant 1 also contains a blocker provision under which the holder thereof does not have the right to exercise Intracoastal Warrant 1 to the extent (but only to the extent) that such exercise would result in beneficial ownership by the holder thereof, together with the holder’s affiliates, and any other persons acting as a group together with the holder or any of the holder’s affiliates, of more than 9.99% of the Common Stock) and (II) 3,333 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of a second warrant held by Intracoastal (“Intracoastal Warrant 2”) because Intracoastal Warrant 2 contains a blocker provision under which the holder thereof does not have the right to exercise Intracoastal Warrant 2 to the extent (but only to the extent) that such exercise would result in beneficial ownership by the holder thereof, together with the holder’s affiliates, and any other persons acting as a group together with the holder or any of the holder’s affiliates, of more than 4.99% of the Common Stock. Without such blocker provisions (and assuming that Intracoastal Warrant 1 was currently exercisable), each of the Reporting Persons may have been deemed to have beneficial ownership of 24,003,333 shares of Common Stock.

 

(ii) As of the close of business on November 6, 2020, each of the Reporting Persons may have been deemed to have beneficial ownership of 3,333 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of Intracoastal Warrant 2, and all such shares of Common Stock represented beneficial ownership of approximately 0.001% of the Common Stock, based on (1) 196,763,180 shares of Common Stock outstanding following the consummation of the Offering as reported by the Issuer, plus (2) 3,333 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of Intracoastal Warrant 2. The foregoing excludes 12,000,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of Intracoastal Warrant 1 because Intracoastal Warrant 1 is not exercisable until the date that the Issuer effects, among other things, an increase in its authorized shares of Common Stock. Assuming that Intracoastal Warrant 1 was currently exercisable, each of the Reporting Persons may have been deemed to have beneficial ownership of 12,003,333 shares of Common Stock.
