(the "Company"), relating to the Company's Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on August 29, 2025, or at any continuations, adjournments or postponements thereof (the "Annual Meeting"). Defined terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Supplemented Proxy Statement. This Supplement No. 2 should be read in conjunction with the Supplemented Proxy Statement. Proposal 3 The Seneca Issuance Proposal and Proposal 4 The Ascent Issuance Proposal Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d), stockholder approval is required prior to the issuance of securities in a transaction, other than a public offering, involving the sale, issuance or potential issuance by the Company of common stock (or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock) in excess of 20% of the Company's outstanding common stock before entry into the subject transaction (the "Nasdaq Share Cap"), if such securities are issued at a price that is less than the "Minimum Price" (defined as the lower of (i) last closing price before entering into the definitive agreement and (ii) the average of last five closing prices before entering into the definitive agreement). In determining those shares of common stock aggregated under the Nasdaq Share Cap, all shares issued and sold under and the price at which such shares are sold under the arrangement must be considered in the aggregate. If the average price for all shares issued and sold under the arrangement remains at or above the Minimum Price, the company can issue shares in excess of 20%. If the price for the aggregate number of shares sold under the arrangement is below the Minimum Price, stockholder approval is required for sales in excess of the Nasdaq Share Cap.

We no longer intend to proceed with the proposed Convertible Preferred Stock Offering however, still intend to enter into an ELOC Agreement with Ascent on substantially the same terms described in the Original Proxy Statement, subject to negotiation of definitive documentation. Except as updated by the foregoing, the terms of the Ascent Issuance Proposal remain as set forth in the Original Proxy Statement, Notice and Access Card and proxy card.
