   ii) ICS Opportunities II LLC, a Cayman Islands limited liability company ("ICS Opportunities II"), beneficially owned 439,428 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock;

   iii) Integrated Assets, Ltd., an exempted company organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands ("Integrated Assets"), beneficially owned 47,352 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock; and

   iv) Integrated Assets II LLC, a Cayman Islands limited liability company ("Integrated Assets II"), beneficially owned 6 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock which together with the shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock beneficially owned by ICS Opportunities, ICS Opportunities II and Integrated Assets represented 1,745,612 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock or 6.1% of the Issuer’s Common Stock outstanding.

   Millennium International Management LP, a Delaware limited partnership ("Millennium International Management"), is the investment manager to ICS Opportunities, ICS Opportunities II, Integrated Assets and Integrated Assets II and may be deemed to have shared voting control and investment discretion over securities owned by ICS Opportunities, ICS Opportunities II, Integrated Assets and Integrated Assets II.

(b) Percent of Class:   

   As of the close of business on September 14, 2021, Millennium International Management, Millennium Management, Millennium Group Management and Mr. Englander may be deemed to have beneficially owned 1,745,612 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock or 6.1% of the Issuer’s Common Stock outstanding (see Item 4(a) above), which percentage was calculated based on 28,522,500 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock outstanding as of July 30, 2021, as reported in the Issuer’s Form 10-Q filed on August 6, 2021.
