The foregoing description of the Series A-1 Purchase Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Series A-1 Purchase Agreement which is incorporated by reference herein.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Series A-1 Certificate of Designations the Issuer filed with the Delaware Secretary of State on September 6, 2023 (the “Series A-1 Certificate of Designations”), all or any portion of the shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock may be converted into Common Stock at any time based on the then-applicable liquidation preference (as determined in accordance with the Series A-1 Certificate of Designations) divided by the applicable conversion price (the “Conversion Ratio”). The ordinary conversion price of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock is $7.63 per share and is subject to adjustment for stock splits, combinations, certain distributions or similar events.

The shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock are also subject to redemption by the Issuer at any time following the closing date of the issuance of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms of the Series A-1 Certificate of Designations. In the event of a change of control transaction, the shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock are subject to redemption or conversion in accordance with the terms of the Series A-1 Certificate of Designations.
