Explanation of Responses:

( 1 )The reported securities are included within 16,666 units of the issuer (the "Units") purchased by the reporting person for $1.50 per Unit in an underwritten public offering. Each Unit consists of one share of the issuer's common stock and one warrant to purchase one share of the issuer's common stock. ( 2 )The reporting person disclaims beneficial ownership of these securities except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein, and the inclusion of these shares in this report shall not be deemed an admission of beneficial ownership of all of the reported shares for purposes of Section 16 or for any other purpose.

Remarks: On July 11, 2023, the issuer effected a reverse stock split of its common stock at a ratio of 1-for-10 (the "Reverse Stock Split"). As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, proportionate adjustments were made to the number of shares of the issuer's common stock underlying its outstanding equity awards, warrants and convertible notes, as well as the exercise or conversion price, as applicable. The amounts reported herein (and to be reported in subsequent reports) have been adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split.

Reminder: Report on a separate line for each class of securities beneficially owned directly or indirectly.
