* As more fully described in Item 4, the Purchase Warrants and the Pre-Funded Warrants are each subject to a 9.99% blocker, and the percentage set forth in row (11) gives effect to such blockers. However, as more fully described in Item 4, the securities reported in rows (5), (7) and (9) show the number of shares of Common Stock that would be issuable upon full exercise of such reported securities and do not give effect to such blockers. Therefore, the actual number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Reporting Person, after giving effect to such blockers, is less than the number of securities reported in rows (5), (7) and (9).

Pursuant to the terms of the Warrants, the Reporting Person cannot exercise the Warrants to the extent the Reporting Persons would beneficially own, after any such exercise, more than 9.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (the “Blockers”), and the percentage set forth in Row 11 of the cover page gives effect to the Blockers.
