On June 8, 2022, all shares of Series A Preferred and Series B Preferred were cancelled and converted into the right to receive a number of shares of Common Stock, rounded down to the nearest whole share, equal to the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the shares of Series A and B Preferred based on the applicable conversion ratio immediately prior to the effective time of the Business Combination, which was 1:1, multiplied by an exchange ratio of 0.1957. Post conversion (i) NEA 15 held a total of 3,176,151 shares of Common Stock with 2,639,360 shares issued and converted from Series A Preferred and 536,791 from Series B.

On June 8, 2022, NEA 15 acquired an additional 1,250,000 shares of Common Stock pursuant to a separate subscription agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”) in a private transaction, for a purchase price of $10.00 per share.
