Item 1 Comment:
This Amendment No. 6 (this "Amendment") amends and supplements the Schedule 13D originally filed by the Reporting Persons with the Commission on May 9, 2022, as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed with the Commission on November 9, 2023, Amendment No. 2 filed with the Commission on February 8, 2024, Amendment No. 3 filed with the Commission on May 13, 2024, Amendment No. 4 filed with the Commission on August 12, 2024 and Amendment No. 5 filed with the Commission on February 11, 2025 ("Amendment No. 5") (collectively, the "Original Schedule 13D"). Only those items that are hereby reported are amended; all other items reported in the Original Schedule 13D remain unchanged; provided, however, that all references in the Original Schedule 13D to the number of shares of the Issuer's Common Stock held by each Reporting Person and the number of shares of the Issuer's Common Stock outstanding on each such Reporting Person's cover page to this Amendment are updated to reflect a one-for-thirteen (1:13) reverse stock split of the Issuer's outstanding Common Stock that was effective as of April 8, 2025. Information given in response to each item shall be deemed incorporated by reference in all other items, as applicable. Capitalized terms not defined in this Amendment have the meanings ascribed to them in the Original Schedule 13D. This Amendment is being filed to update the aggregate percentage of Common Stock owned by the Reporting Persons due to dilution caused by the Issuer's sales of additional shares of its Common Stock from time to time since the date of the filing of Amendment No. 5. Such transactions resulted in a decrease of over one percent (1%) in the aggregate percentage ownership reported by the Reporting Persons in Amendment No. 5. | ||
