Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (our principal executive and financial officer), of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”). Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute assurance of achieving the desired objectives. Also, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Based on that assessment under those criteria, our management has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective at the reasonable assurance level as of March 31, 2024, due to a material weakness. Management has concluded that our procedures for determining the accounting treatment of pre-funded warrants issued in March 2024 are insufficient, which rises to a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting.

The material weakness identified by management relates to our controls over the accounting for pre-funded warrants whereby we failed to initially recognize these pre-funded warrants as liabilities, along with the subsequent changes in fair value as non-cash expenses. As a result of this material weakness, we failed to timely identify material adjustments to our financial statements that were detected shortly before the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Our legacy processes included the timely identification of the relevant

accounting technical pronouncements, other literature, consultation with third-party experts, and the preparation of a memorandum outlining our assessment of the factual background and our interpretation of the accounting requirements. With respect to pre-funded warrants issued on March 8, 2024, we improperly concluded that equity classification was permitted based on the facts that (i) the pre-funded warrants were only exercisable for 7% of our outstanding shares, (ii) the pre-funded warrants explicitly prohibit the holders from exercising if beneficial ownership would exceed 19.99%, and (iii) shareholder approval was only required if beneficial ownership exceeded 19.99%. Despite these terms, we determined that equity classification was not permitted, whereby we performed additional analysis as deemed necessary to ensure that the accompanying financial statements were revised and prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, management believes that the accompanying financial statements present fairly in all material respects our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

On May 13, 2024, we entered into an amendment with the holders of the pre-funded warrants to further support the equity classification. As a result of this amendment, the pre-funded warrants will no longer be accounted for as a derivative liability beginning on May 13, 2024.

To the extent reasonably possible, we intend to engage additional third-party specialists to determine the accounting treatment of our warrants to ensure that our warrant accounting policies and procedures are consistent across the organization and that we have adequate control over our Exchange Act reporting disclosures. Due to the complexity of the accounting rules for equity-linked financial instruments, we cannot provide assurance that our existing processes and planned remediation will eventually result in the elimination of the material weakness described above.

Changes in internal controls over financial reporting

During the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we determined the existence of a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13(a)-15(f) or 15(d)-15(f)) related to the complex pre-funded warrant accounting discussed above, that occurred during the period covered by this quarterly report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
