(e) Each Reporting Person and, to the best of its knowledge, each executive officer and director of the Reporting Person has not, during the last five years, been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and, as a result of such proceeding, was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

On June 1, 2020, Radiance Star and Coral Blue acquired 117,172 shares and 16,739 shares of Issuer’s Class D Preferred Stock, nominal value NIS 0.01 each (“Series D Preferred Shares”), respectively, from the Issuer, at a purchase price of $149.35 per Series D Preferred Share, and also received warrants to purchase 23,434 and 3,348 Series D Preferred Shares, respectively, at an exercise price of $0.01 (“Series D Warrants”), for an aggregate purchase price of $17,500,000 and $2,500,000, respectively.  The Series D Warrants vest in 20% increments on each of the first five anniversaries of the June 1, 2020 date of the warrant, subject to each of Radiance Star and Coral Blue acquiring a certain amount of securities from the Issuer during each one-year vesting period, as set forth in the terms of the Series D Warrant.  The Series D Warrants may be net exercised.

On March 22, 2021, Radiance Star and Coral Blue acquired 7,397 shares and 1,057 shares of Issuer’s Class E Preferred Stock, nominal value NIS 0.01 each (“Series E Preferred Shares” and, together with Series D Preferred Shares, “Preferred Shares”), respectively, from the Issuer, at a purchase price of $838.49 per Series E Preferred Shares, and also received warrants to purchase 3,170 and 453 Series E Preferred Shares, respectively, at an exercise price of $0.001 (“Series E Warrants” and, together with the Series D Warrants, “Warrants”), for an aggregate purchase price of $6,202,202.24 and $886,280.44, respectively.  The Series E Warrants vest in a ratio correlating to the vesting of certain option and restricted share awards granted to the founders of the Issuer. The Series E Warrants may be net exercised.

On August 20, 2021, Radiance Star and Coral Blue exercised 4,686 Series D Warrants and 669 Series D Warrants, respectively.

On June 22, 2022 (the “Closing Date”), the Issuer consummated its initial business combination (the “Merger”) pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated September 15, 2021 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Issuer, EJF Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company (“EJFA”), and Rigel Merger Sub Inc., a Cayman Islands exempted company and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Issuer.  Immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each Preferred Share was converted into one Share, and each Warrant to acquire Preferred Shares was converted into a Warrant to acquire Shares.

Also in connection with the Merger, the Issuer effected an approximately 1:186.8564 share split of each Share and each Share underlying any outstanding options, warrants and other rights to acquire Shares, whether vested or unvested, in order to cause the value of the each outstanding Share immediately prior to the Effective Time to equal $10.00 per Share (the “Stock Split”). As a result of the Stock Split, each of the Shares held directly by, and Shares underlying Warrants held directly by, each of Radiance Star and Coral Blue was adjusted by multiplying such number of Shares by approximately 186.8564 (the “Conversion Rate”).

Concurrently with the Merger, the Issuer entered into a Subscription Agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”) with Radiance Star, among certain other investors. Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, Radiance Star purchased from the Issuer an aggregate of 3,700,000 Shares, at a purchase price of $10.00 per Share, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Subscription Agreement (the “PIPE”). The PIPE closed immediately prior to the Effective Time.  The Subscription Agreement provided for certain customary registration rights covering the resale of the Shares issued in the PIPE.

On November 8, 2022, Radiance Star exercised 4,687 Series D Warrants and 2,642 Series E Warrants, at the post-Merger Conversion Rate. On February 23, 2023, Coral Blue exercised 670 Series D Warrants and 377 Series E Warrants, at the post-Merger Conversion Rate.  As of the date of this Schedule 13D, Radiance Star continues to hold 14,061 unvested Series D Warrants and 528 unvested Series E Warrants, and Coral Blue continues to hold 2,009 unvested Series D Warrants and 76 unvested Series E Warrants.

On March 21, 2023, Radiance Star purchased 10,000,000 Shares in a block trade in the open market at a price of $1.00 per Share, for an aggregate purchase price of $10,000,000.

The Reporting Persons invested in the Shares for investment purposes, subject to the following:

The Reporting Persons intend to review on a continuing basis their investments in the Issuer. The Reporting Persons may communicate with the board of directors of the Issuer (the “Board”), members of management and/or other stockholders from time to time with respect to operational, strategic, financial or governance matters or otherwise work with management and the Board with a view to maximizing stockholder value. Such discussions and actions may be preliminary and exploratory in nature, and may not rise to the level of a plan or proposal. The Reporting Persons may seek to acquire additional securities of the Issuer (which may include rights or securities exercisable or convertible into securities of the Issuer) from time to time, in each case, in open market or private transactions, block sales or otherwise, including in connection with extraordinary corporate transactions, such as a tender offer, merger or consolidation that would result in the de-listing of the Shares, and/or may seek to sell or otherwise dispose of some or all of the Issuer’s securities from time to time. The Reporting Persons expect to continue to actively evaluate such transactions, and to take other actions intended to position the Reporting Persons to opportunistically engage in one or more of such transactions in the future. Subject to the agreements described herein, any transaction that any of the Reporting Persons may pursue may be made at any time and from time to time without prior notice and will depend on a variety of factors, including, without limitation, the price and availability of the Issuer’s securities, subsequent developments affecting the Issuer, the Issuer’s business and the Issuer’s prospects, other investment and business opportunities available to such Reporting Persons, general industry and economic conditions, the securities markets in general, tax considerations and other factors deemed relevant by such Reporting Persons.
