The percentage of outstanding Common Stock which may be deemed to be beneficially owned by each Reporting Person is set forth on Line 13 of each Reporting Person’s cover sheet.

Item 5(c) of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows: Amendment of Convertible Note As previously reported on this Schedule 13D, on January 25, 2024, Issuer and CP Acquisitions, an entity affiliated with and controlled by Raymond Chang, the Chief Executive Officer of the Issuer and a member of its Board, and I-Tseng Jenny Chan, a member of the Board, agreed to amend, restate and consolidate certain outstanding notes held by CP Acquisitions into the Convertible Note. On May 21, 2024, the Issuer and CP Acquisitions entered into an amendment to the Convertible Note (the “CP Note Amendment”), pursuant to which CP Acquisitions may elect, in lieu of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Note, to instead receive pre-funded warrants (“ Pre-Funded Warrants ”). The conversion price applicable to the Pre-Funded Warrants will remain unchanged at $1.46. The Pre-Funded Warrants have an exercise price of $0.001 per share, were exercisable upon issuance, will expire when the applicable warrant is exercised in full, and are exercisable on a cash basis or, if there is no effective registration statement registering the resale of the underlying shares of common stock, on a cashless exercise basis at CP Acquisitions’ discretion. The Pre-Funded Warrants provide that each time the Issuer consummates any bona fide equity financing with the primary purpose of raising capital, then the number of shares of common stock underlying the Pre-Funded Warrants will be increased (the “ Adjustment Provision ”) to an amount equal to (i) the amount of the Convertible Note that was originally converted into the applicable Pre-Funded Warrants divided by (ii) the purchase or conversion price in the equity financing transaction, subject to proportional adjustment in the event the Pre-Funded Warrant has been partially exercised. The Adjustment Provision will not be effective unless and until it is approved by
