The shares of Common Stock were originally acquired by the Reporting Persons for investment purposes with the aim of increasing the value of their investments in the Issuer.

Merger Agreement

On May 29, 2023, the Issuer entered into that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with SW ParentCo, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”) and wholly-owned subsidiary of Fall Line Endurance Fund, LP, and SW MergerCo, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, and subject to the terms and conditions thereof, (a) Merger Sub will commence a tender offer (the “Offer”) to purchase any and all of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, other than shares of Common Stock held by certain stockholders of the Company, including NS and NSD, that have entered into the Contribution and Exchange Agreements whereby they have agreed to contribute to Parent their shares of Common Stock (such shares of Common Stock, collectively, the “Rollover Shares”, and such shareholders of the Company holding Rollover Shares, collectively, the “Rollover Stockholders,” each a “Rollover Stockholder”) and the

4

shares of Common Stock held by Parent and Merger Sub and certain other shares specified in the Merger Agreement (together with the Rollover Shares, the “Excluded Shares”), at a purchase price of US$0.30 per share of Common Stock (the “Offer Price”), (b) immediately following the consummation of the Offer, each of the Rollover Stockholders will contribute their Rollover Shares to Parent (the “Rollover”) and (c) as soon as practicable following the consummation of the Merger, but following the consummation of the Rollover, Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Issuer, with the Issuer continuing as the surviving corporation (the “Surviving Corporation”) and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger”).

Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each share of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than the Excluded Shares, will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive the Offer Price in cash per share without interest and net of any applicable withholding taxes. The Excluded Shares will be automatically cancelled and cease to exist, without payment of any consideration or distribution therefor.

The Offer will initially remain open for 20 business days (as calculated in accordance with Rule 14d-1(g)(3) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) from (and including) the date of commencement of the Offer. If at the scheduled expiration time of the Offer, any condition to the Offer (other than any conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the expiration of the Offer, but subject to such conditions remaining capable of being satisfied) has not been satisfied and has not been waived by Parent or Merger Sub (to the extent waivable), Merger Sub may, in its discretion, and Parent may cause Merger Sub to, extend the Offer in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement to permit the satisfaction of all Offer conditions. The obligation of Merger Sub to consummate the Offer is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of conditions, including, among others, there being a number of shares of Company Common Stock validly tendered (and not properly withdrawn) prior to the expiration of the Offer (but excluding shares tendered pursuant to guaranteed delivery procedures that have not yet been “received” by the “depository,” as such terms are defined in section 251(h)(6) of the Delaware General Corporate Law (the “DGCL”)), together with any shares of Company Common Stock oth erwise owned by Merger Sub or its “affiliates” (as defined in section 251(h)(6) of the DGCL) that do not represent at least (a) a majority of the outstanding Company Common Stock, not otherwise owned by Merger Sub, its “affiliates” (as defined in section 251(h)(6) of the DGCL) or the Rollover Stockholders, (as defined below) and (b) the number of the shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately following the consummation of the Offer that, together with the shares of Company Common Stock owned by Merger Sub, its “affiliates” (as defined in section 251(h)(6) of the DGCL) and the Rollover Stockholders, equals at least such percentage of the shares of Company Common Stock, and of each class or series thereof, that would be required to adopt the Merger Agreement under the DGCL and the Company’s organizational documents.

The Merger Agreement provides for a 30-day “go-shop” period beginning on the date of the Merger Agreement and continuing until 11:59 p.m. (New York City time) on June 28, 2023, during which period the Company and its representatives are permitted to actively initiate, solicit, knowingly facilitate or encourage alternative acquisition proposals from third parties and to provide information to, and participate in discussions and engage in negotiations with, third parties regarding any alternative acquisition proposals. After such 30-day go-shop period and subject to certain exceptions, the Company will be subject to a customary “no-shop” provision whereby it is prohibited from (i) entering into solicitations, discussions or negotiations concerning, or providing confidential information in connection with, any alternative transaction and (ii) withholding, withdrawing, qualifying, amending or modifying the Company Recommendation in a manner adverse to Parent.

The “no shop” provision allows the Company, under certain circumstances and in compliance with certain obligations set forth in the Merger Agreement, to provide non-public information and engage in discussions and negotiations with respect to an unsolicited acquisition proposal that constitutes or is reasonably expected to lead to an alternative transaction that the Board (as defined below) (or an authorized committee thereof, including the Special Committee (as defined below)) determines would be more favorable, from a financial point of view, to the Company’s stockholders than the Merger and in the best interests of those materially affected by the Company’s conduct (a “Superior Proposal”).

Under certain circumstances and in compliance with certain obligations set forth in the Merger Agreement, the Company is permitted to terminate the Merger Agreement prior to the Acceptance Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement) to accept a Superior Proposal, subject to the payment of an expense reimbursement. The Company is also required to pay an expense reimbursement (A) if Parent terminates because (i) the board of directors of the Company

5

(the “Board”), acting on the recommendation of the Special Committee of the Board (the “Special Committee”), shall have effected an Adverse Recommendation Change (as defined in the Merger Agreement); provided, that Parent must provide notice of termination within five (5) business days of the Adverse Recommendation Change, (ii) the Company materially breaches Section 5.3 of the Merger Agreement, (iii) the Company fails to recommend against a competing tender or exchange offer within ten (10) business days thereof, (iv) the Company fails to publicly affirm the Company Recommendation in favor of the Offer within ten (10) business days of a request from Parent (when permitted to make such a request under the Merger Agreement), or (v) the Acceptance Time has not occurred by February 29, 2024 (or as extended in accordance with the Merger Agreement) if as of such time Parent could have terminated the Merger Agreement pursuant to any of clauses (i) through (iv) immediately above or (B) if, following the date of the Merger Agreement, (i) an alternative acquisition proposal is publicly announced and has not been withdrawn prior to termination of the Merger Agreement, (ii) (x) Parent terminates the Merger Agreement because the Company breaches any of its representations or warranties, or fails to perform any of its covenants or agreements contained in the Merger Agreement, in any such case, which gives rise to the failure of certain offer conditions in the Merger Agreement (and such breach is not cured within 20 business days thereof or is not capable of being cured), or (y) either party terminates the Merger Agreement because the Offer has expired as a result of the non-satisfaction of one or more offer conditions or has been terminated or withdrawn and (iii) within 12 months after termination, the Company consummates any alternative transaction or enters into a definitive agreement providing for an alternative transaction. In no event would the Company be required to pay an expense reimbursement fee on more than one occasion. The Company’s expense reimbursement obligation cannot exceed $1,575,000.

If the Acceptance Time occurs, the Company must reimburse Parent for all of its fees and expenses relating to the Merger Agreement, the Note Purchase Agreement, the Contribution and Exchange Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Offer and the Merger, without any cap.

If the Merger is effected, the Issuer’s Common Stock will be delisted from the NASDAQ Capital Market and the Issuer’s obligation to file periodic reports under the Act will terminate, and the Issuer will be privately held.

Contribution and Exchange Agreement

In connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, Parent entered into with each of the Rollover Stockholders, including each of NS and NSD, a Contribution and Exchange Agreement pursuant to which each Rollover Stockholder agreed to contribute its Rollover Shares to Parent in exchange for shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share of Parent including (i) NS which agreed to contribute its 500,000 Rollover Shares to Parent, and (ii) NSD which agreed to contribute its 306,122 Rollover Shares to Parent in exchange for shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock. The Contribution and Exchange Agreement will terminate upon the first to occur of the consummation of the Merger, the date and time that the Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms and the date and time that the Board or the Special Committee make an Adverse Recommendation Change in accordance with the Merger Agreement.

The foregoing descriptions of the Merger Agreement and the Contribution and Exchange Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Schedule 13D and of the Contribution and Exchange Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 99.2 to this Schedule 13D, each of which is incorporated by reference into this Item 4.

The responses of each of the Reporting Persons with respect to Rows 7, 8, 9, and 10 of the cover pages of this Schedule 13D that relate to the number of Common Stock as to which each of the persons or entities referenced in Item 2 above has sole or shared power to vote or to direct the vote of and sole or shared power to dispose of or to direct the disposition of (including but not limited to footnotes to such information) are incorporated herein by reference.

As a result of the Reporting Persons’ actions in respect of the Contribution and Exchange Agreement, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to be members of a “group” within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act. Such “group” may constitute the following individuals:

As a result, the group may be deemed to have acquired beneficial ownership of all the shares beneficially owned by each member of the “group”. As such, the group may be deemed to beneficially own in the aggregate 120,521,038 shares of Common Stock. The above Common Stock does not include any Common Stock which may be beneficially owned by any of the other parties to the Merger Agreement and Contribution Agreement not listed above. The individuals and/or entities listed in the table in this Item 5 other than the Reporting Persons herein have been notified that such individuals and/or entities may beneficially own certain Common Stock and need to file separate beneficial ownership reports with the SEC related thereto. Neither the filing of this Schedule 13D nor any of its contents, however, shall be deemed to constitute an admission by the Reporting Persons that any of them is the beneficial owner of any of the Common Stock beneficially owned in the aggregate by other members of the “group” and their respective affiliates for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Act or for any other purpose, and such beneficial ownership is expressly disclaimed.

The information disclosed under Item 4 above is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 5.

Item 4 above summarizes certain provisions of the Merger Agreement and the Contribution and Exchange Agreements and is incorporated herein by reference. A copy of each of the Merger Agreement and the Contribution and Exchange Agreement is included as an exhibit to this Schedule 13D and each is incorporated herein by reference.
