Not applicable.

Item 4.

Ownership.

The information required by this item with respect to each Reporting Person is set forth in Rows 5 through 9 and 11 of the cover page to this Schedule 13G. The ownership percentages reported are based on 114,685,783 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of May 1, 2024, as reported in the Issuers Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed on May 8, 2024 and give effect to the exercise of the Warrants (as defined below).

The Credit Fund directly holds (i) 1,036,560 shares of Common Stock, (ii) 4,500,000 warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock (the Warrants), consisting of (a) 3,000,000 warrants that are currently exercisable at an exercise price of $1.0648 per share and which will expire on November 21, 2032, (b) 1,000,000 warrants that are currently exercisable at an exercise price of $1.0648 per share and which expire on December 20, 2033, and (c) 500,000 warrants that are currently exercisable at an exercise price of $1.6254 per share and which will expire on May 10, 2033, and (iii) 25,914 shares of Series A Non-Voting Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the Preferred Stock) that may convert into 1,036,560 shares of Common Stock, as described below. The Opportunity Fund directly holds (i) 1,137,320 shares of Common Stock and (ii) 28,433 shares of Preferred Stock that may convert into 1,137,320 shares of Common Stock, as described below. The Common Stock ownership amounts set forth in this Schedule 13G exclude the shares of Common Stock into which the Preferred Stock will automatically convert following satisfaction of the Stockholder Approval Requirement (as defined below) because the Reporting Persons do not have the right to acquire such shares prior to satisfaction of the Stockholder Approval Requirement.

The shares of Preferred Stock are not currently convertible and may only be converted once the Issuer obtains requisite stockholder approval (the Stockholder Approval Requirement), which the Issuer will submit to its stockholders at its annual meeting of stockholders. Once the Stock Approval Requirement has been satisfied, the shares of Preferred Stock will automatically convert into shares of Common Stock at a conversion rate of one-for-forty (the Initial Conversion Rate). Provided, however, the Preferred Stock will not convert into shares of Common Stock if the Reporting Persons would beneficially own more than 19.9% of the Issuers outstanding shares of Common Stock following such Conversion (the Conversion Blocker). Following satisfaction of the Stockholder Approval Requirement, and subject to the Conversion Blocker, the 25,914 shares of Preferred Stock held by the Credit Fund would convert at the Initial Conversion Rate into 1,036,600 shares of Common Stock and the 28,433 shares of Preferred Stock held by the Opportunity Fund would convert at the Initial Conversion Rate into 1,137,320 shares of Common Stock.

The Warrants may not be exercised if the Reporting Persons would beneficially own more than 9.9% of the Issuers outstanding shares of Common Stock after giving effect to such exercise. Accordingly, the Credit Fund could currently exercise an aggregate of 4,500,000 Warrants into 4,500,000 shares of Common Stock.

Perceptive Credit serves as the investment manager to each of the Credit Fund and Opportunity Fund and as relying advisor under Perceptive Advisors. Perceptive Credit Opportunities GP, LLC serves as the general partner of the Credit Fund. PCOF EQ AIV GP, LLC serves as the general partner of the Opportunity Fund. Mr. Edelman is the managing member of Perceptive Advisors. Each of Perceptive Advisors, Perceptive Credit and Mr. Edelman may be deemed to beneficially own the securities of the Issuer held by the Credit Fund and the Opportunity Fund.

Item 5.
