Explanatory Note

This Amendment No. 1 (the Amendment) amends the Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons on December 5, 2022 (the Original Schedule 13D and, as amended by this Amendment, the Schedule 13D) with respect to securities of the Issuer. Capitalized terms used in this Amendment and not otherwise defined shall have the same meanings ascribed to them in the Original Schedule 13D.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

This Amendment amends and restates Item 4 of the Original Schedule 13D in its entirety as set forth below:

As described in Item 6 below, effective December 7, 2022, Trit Garg, Karr Narula and Justin Sabet-Peyman joined the board of directors of the Issuer (the Board) as nominees of PSC Echo, LP pursuant to the Investors Rights Agreement. Dr. Garg and Messrs. Narula and Sabet-Peyman are expected to receive compensation in their capacity as directors pursuant to the Issuers director compensation policy as in effect from time to time and to have rights to indemnification as described Item 6 below.

The Reporting Persons acquired the securities reported herein for investment purposes. In their capacity as a significant stockholder of the Issuer with representation on the Board, the Reporting Persons intend to take an active role in working with the Issuers management and the Board on operational, financial and strategic initiatives. The Reporting Persons review and intend to continue to review their investment in the Issuer. Depending upon the factors discussed below and subject to applicable law, the Reporting Persons may from time to time acquire additional securities of the Issuer or sell or otherwise dispose of some or all of its securities of the Issuer. The Reporting Persons may pursue any such transactions at any time and from time to time without prior notice, and such transactions will depend upon a variety of factors, including current and anticipated future trading prices of the securities of the Issuer, the financial condition, results of operations and prospects of the Issuer, general economic, financial market and industry conditions, other investment and business opportunities available to the Reporting Persons, tax considerations and other factors.
