THE COMMITTED EQUITY FACILITY

On May 14, 2025, we entered into the Common Shares Purchase Agreement with the Facility Investors establishing the Committed Equity Facility. Pursuant to and subject to the conditions set forth in the Common Shares Purchase Agreement, beginning after the date of initial satisfaction of all such conditions (the “Commencement Date”), we have the right from time to time at our option to direct the Facility Investors to purchase our shares of Common Stock, up to a maximum aggregate purchase price of $20.0 million. Sales of our shares of Common Stock to the Facility Investors under the Common Shares Purchase Agreement, and the timing of any sales, will be determined by us from time to time in our sole discretion and will depend on a variety of factors, including, among other things, market conditions, the trading price of our Common Stock and determinations by us regarding the use of proceeds from any sale of such Common Stock. The net proceeds from any sales under the Committed Equity Facility will depend on the frequency with, and prices at, which the shares of Common Stock are sold to the Facility Investors. To the extent we sell shares under the Common Shares Purchase Agreement, we currently plan to use any proceeds therefrom for working capital and general corporate purposes.

In accordance with our obligations under the Common Shares Purchase Agreement, we have filed the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part in order to register the resale by the Facility Investors of up to 25,000,000 shares of Common Stock. In consideration for the Facility Investors’ execution and delivery of the Common Shares Purchase Agreement, we paid the upfront commitment fee to each of the Facility Investors in the form of Pre-Funded Warrants to purchase up to 150,000 shares Common Stock each, with an exercise price of $0.001 per share.

Under applicable Nasdaq rules, unless and until we obtain prior shareholder approval we cannot issue shares of Common Stock to the Facility Investors that would exceed the Exchange Cap (as defined below). In addition, neither Facility Investor is obligated to buy any shares of Common Stock under the Common Shares Purchase Agreement if such shares, when aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by such Facility Investors and its affiliates (as calculated pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and Rule 13d-3 promulgated thereunder), would result in such Facility Investor beneficially owning shares of Common Stock in excess of either 4.99% or 9.99%, as applicable, of our outstanding shares of Common Stock (the “Beneficial Ownership Cap”).

The Common Shares Purchase Agreement contains customary registration rights, representations, warranties, conditions and indemnification obligations by each party. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Common Shares Purchase Agreement were made only for purposes of the Common Shares Purchase Agreement and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreements and are subject to certain important limitations.

VWAP Purchase of shares of Common Stock Under the Common Shares Purchase Agreement

From and after the Commencement Date, we will have the right, but not the obligation, from time to time at our sole discretion, until the first day of the month next following the 36-month period from the Commencement Date, to direct the Facility Investors to purchase up to a specified maximum amount of shares of Common Stock (each such purchase, a “VWAP Purchase”) by delivering written notice to the Facility Investors (such notice, a “VWAP Purchase Notice”) on any trading day, so long as all shares of Common Stock subject to all prior VWAP Purchases by the Facility Investors have previously been delivered to the Facility Investors.

The maximum number of shares of Common Stock that the Facility Investors are required to purchase in any single VWAP Purchase under the Common Shares Purchase Agreement is equal to the least of:

●a number of shares of Common Stock which, when aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by such Facility Investor and its affiliates (as calculated pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and Rule 13d-3 promulgated thereunder), would result in such Facility Investor beneficially owning shares of Common Stock equal to (but not exceeding) the Beneficial Ownership Cap;
●the total volume of shares of Common Stock as reported by Bloomberg through its “AQR” function during the applicable period (subject to adjustment in the case that the price of our Common Stock falls below a specified threshold price) multiplied by (ii) the lesser of (A) the percentage of the volume of the shares of Common Stock that we direct the Facility Investors to purchase and (B) 30% of the volume of the shares of Common Stock (unless we and the Facility Investors expressly agree that such percentage shall exceed 30%) (the amount set forth in this bullet, the “VWAP Purchase Share Request”); and
●the number of shares of Common Stock set forth in any VWAP Purchase Notice, representing the Company’s good faith estimate of the number of shares of Common Stock equivalent to the VWAP Purchase Share Request during the applicable period on the date on which such shares of Common Stock are delivered to the Facility Investors under the Common Shares Purchase Agreement (the “VWAP Purchase Date”).

The per share purchase price for the shares of Common Stock that we elect to sell to the Facility Investors in a VWAP Purchase pursuant to the Common Shares Purchase Agreement, if any (the “VWAP Purchase Price”) will be equal to ninety-three percent (93%) of the lesser of the (i) lowest sale price on the VWAP Purchase Date and (ii) the VWAP over the applicable VWAP Purchase Period on such VWAP Purchase Date for such VWAP Purchase. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the price of Common Stock falls below a threshold price determined by us (which shall be no lower than 90% of the closing price of the shares of Common Stock as of the prior business day but not less than $1.00 (the “Threshold Price”), the VWAP Purchase Price shall be calculated using the VWAP for the shares of Common Stock during the portion of the applicable trading day during for which the price is not below the Threshold Price, and, as applicable, using the Block (as defined below) with the lowest price that is not below the Threshold Price. “Block*”* means any trade on in excess of 10,000 shares of Common Stock on a single trading day to a single purchaser, as reported by Bloomberg through its “AQR” function.

We define “VWAP” as, for the shares of Common Stock for a specified period, the dollar volume-weighted average price for the shares of Common Stock, as reported by Bloomberg through its “AQR” function, with all such determinations being appropriately adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination, recapitalization or other similar transaction during such period. There is no upper limit on the price per share that the Facility Investors could be obligated to pay for shares of Common Stock we elect to sell to the Facility Investors in any VWAP Purchase under the Common Shares Purchase Agreement.

At or prior to 5:30 p.m., New York City time, on the applicable VWAP Purchase Date, the Facility Investors will provide us with a written confirmation for such VWAP Purchase setting forth the applicable VWAP Purchase Price per share to be paid by the Facility Investors and the total aggregate VWAP Purchase Price to be paid by the Facility Investors for the total number of shares of Common Stock purchased by the Facility Investors in such VWAP Purchase.

The payment for, against delivery of, shares of Common Stock purchased by the Facility Investors in a VWAP Purchase under the Common Shares Purchase Agreement is required to be fully settled by 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the trading day immediately following the applicable date of such VWAP Purchase Date, as set forth in the Common Shares Purchase Agreement.

Conditions Precedent to Commencement and Each VWAP Purchase

The Facility Investors’ obligation to accept VWAP Purchase Notices that are timely delivered by us under the Common Shares Purchase Agreement and to purchase our shares of Common Stock in VWAP Purchases under the Common Shares Purchase Agreement, are subject to (i) the initial satisfaction, at the Commencement Date, and (ii) the satisfaction, at each time we deliver a VWAP Purchase Notice on the applicable date of VWAP Purchase after the Commencement Date (the “VWAP Purchase Commencement Time”), of the conditions precedent thereto set forth in the Common Shares Purchase Agreement, which conditions include, among others, the following:

●the accuracy in all material respects of the representations and warranties of the Company and the Facility Investors included in the Common Shares Purchase Agreement;

●the absence of any material misstatement or omission in the registration statement that includes this prospectus (or in any one or more additional registration statements filed with the SEC that include shares of Common Stock that may be issued and sold by the Company to the Facility Investors under the Common Shares Purchase Agreement);
●this prospectus and all reports, schedules, registrations, forms, statements, information and other documents required to have been filed by the Company with the SEC pursuant to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act having been filed with the SEC;

●the first day of the month next following the 36-month anniversary of the Commencement Date;
●the date on which the Facility Investors shall have purchased shares of Common Stock under the Common Shares Purchase Agreement for an aggregate gross purchase price equal to $20.0 million;
●the date on which the shares of Common Stock shall have failed to be listed or quoted on Nasdaq or any other Principal Market;
●the 30th trading day following the date on which the Company commences a voluntary bankruptcy case or any third party commences a bankruptcy proceeding against the Company; and
●the date on which a custodian is appointed for the Company in a bankruptcy proceeding for all or substantially all of its property, or the Company makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors.

We have the right to terminate the Common Shares Purchase Agreement at any time after Commencement, at no cost or penalty, upon 10 trading days’ prior written notice to the Facility Investors. We and the Facility Investors may also terminate the Common Shares Purchase Agreement at any time by mutual written consent. the Facility Investors also has the right to terminate the Common Shares Purchase Agreement upon 10 trading days’ prior written notice to us, but only upon the occurrence of certain customary events. No termination of the Common Shares Purchase Agreement by us or by the Facility Investors will become effective prior to the second trading day immediately following the date on which any pending (or not fully settled) VWAP Purchase has been fully settled in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Common Shares Purchase Agreement, and will not affect any of our respective rights and obligations under the Common Shares Purchase Agreement with respect to any pending (or not fully settled) VWAP Purchase, and both we and the Facility Investors have agreed to complete our respective obligations with respect to any such pending (or not fully settled) VWAP Purchase under the Common Shares Purchase Agreement. Furthermore, no termination of the Common Shares Purchase Agreement will affect the registration rights provisions contained within the Common Shares Purchase Agreement, which will survive any termination of the Common Shares Purchase Agreement.

No Short-Selling or Hedging by the Facility Investors

Each of the Facility Investors has agreed that neither it nor any of its officers, nor any entity managed or controlled by it, will engage in or effect, directly or indirectly, for its own principal account or for the principal account of any of its officers or any entity managed or controlled by it, any (i) “short sale” (as such term is defined in Rule 200 of Regulation SHO of the Exchange Act) of the shares of Common Stock or (ii) hedging transaction, which established a net short position with respect to the shares of Common Stock, during the term of the Common Shares Purchase Agreement.

Prohibition on Variable Rate Transactions

Subject to specified exceptions included in the Common Shares Purchase Agreement, during the term of the Common Shares Purchase Agreement, while any VWAP Purchase Notice has been delivered but the related delivery and payment of such shares of Common Stock has not yet been completed, we are limited in our ability to enter into specified “Variable Rate Transactions” (as such term is defined in the Common Shares Purchase Agreement) other than another “equity line of credit.” Such transactions include, among others, the issuance of convertible securities with a conversion or exercise price that is based upon or varies with the trading price of shares of our shares of Common Stock after the date of issuance.

Effect of Sales of Shares of Common Stock under the Common Shares Purchase Agreement on Our Shareholders

The shares of Common Stock being registered for resale in this offering may be issued and sold by us to the Facility Investors from time to time at our discretion over a period until the first day of the month next following the 36-month anniversary of the Commencement Date. The resale by the Facility Investors of a significant amount of shares registered for resale in this offering at any given time, or the perception that these sales may occur, could cause the market price of our shares of Common Stock to decline and to be highly volatile. Sales of our shares of Common Stock, if any, to the Facility Investors under the Common Shares Purchase Agreement will be determined by us in our sole discretion and will depend upon market conditions and other factors. We may ultimately decide to sell to the Facility Investors all, some or none of the shares of Common Stock that may be available for us to sell to the Facility Investors pursuant to the Common Shares Purchase Agreement. If and when we elect to sell shares of Common Stock to the Facility Investors pursuant to the Common Shares Purchase Agreement, after the Facility Investors have acquired such shares, the Facility Investors may resell all, some or none of such shares of Common Stock at any time or from time to time in its discretion and at different prices. As a result, investors who purchase shares of Common Stock from the Facility Investors in this offering at different times will likely pay different prices for those shares of Common Stock, and so may experience different levels of dilution and in some cases substantial dilution and different outcomes in their investment results. See “Risk Factors-Risks Related to the Committed Equity Financing-Investors who buy shares of Common Stock from the Facility Investors at different times will likely pay different prices.”

Investors may experience a decline in the value of the shares of Common Stock they purchase from the Facility Investors in this offering as a result of future sales made by us to the Facility Investors at prices lower than the prices such investors paid for their shares in this offering. In addition, if we sell a substantial number of shares of Common Stock to the Facility Investors under the Common Shares Purchase Agreement, or if investors expect that we will do so, the actual sales of shares of Common Stock or the mere existence of our arrangement with the Facility Investors may make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and at a price that we might otherwise wish to effect such sales.

Because the purchase price per share to be paid by the Facility Investors for the shares of Common Stock that we may elect to sell to the Facility Investors under the Common Shares Purchase Agreement, if any, will fluctuate based on the market prices of our Common Stock during the applicable period for each VWAP Purchase made pursuant to the Common Shares Purchase Agreement, if any, as of the date of this prospectus it is not possible for us to predict the number of shares of Common Stock that we will sell to the Facility Investors under the Common Shares Purchase Agreement, the actual purchase price per share to be paid by the Facility Investors for those shares of Common Stock, or the actual gross proceeds to be raised by us from those sales, if any. As of May 30, 2025, there were 3,147,995 shares of Common Stock outstanding. Although the Common Shares Purchase Agreement provides that we may sell up to an aggregate gross purchase price of $20.0 million of our shares of Common Stock to the Facility Investors, only 25,000,000 of our shares of Common Stock are being registered for resale under the registration statement that includes this prospectus.

If all of the 25,000,000 shares of Common Stock offered for resale by the Facility Investors under this prospectus were issued and outstanding as of May 30, 2025, such shares of Common Stock would represent approximately 89% of the total number of our shares of Common Stock outstanding.

If we decide to issue and sell to the Facility Investors under the Common Shares Purchase Agreement more than the 25,000,000 shares of Common Stock that are being registered for resale under this prospectus, which we may elect to do, at our sole discretion, up to aggregate gross proceeds under the Committed Equity Facility of $20.0 million, in order to receive additional proceeds we must first file with the SEC one or more additional registration statements to register the resale under the Securities Act by the Facility Investors of any such additional shares of Common Stock we wish to sell from time to time under the Common Shares Purchase Agreement, which the SEC must declare effective, in each case before we may elect to sell any such additional shares of Common Stock to the Facility Investors under the Common Shares Purchase Agreement. The number of shares of Common Stock ultimately offered for sale by the Facility Investors for resale under this prospectus in order to receive or under any future prospectus is dependent upon the number of shares of Common Stock, if any, we ultimately sell to the Facility Investors under the Common Shares Purchase Agreement. Further, if and when we elect to sell shares of Common Stock to the Facility Investors pursuant to the Common Shares Purchase Agreement, after the Facility Investors has acquired such shares, the Facility Investors may resell all, some or none of such shares of Common Stock at any time or from time to time in its discretion and at different prices.

The issuance of shares of Common Stock to the Facility Investors pursuant to the Common Shares Purchase Agreement will not affect the rights or privileges of our existing shareholders, except that the economic and voting interests of each of our existing shareholders will be diluted. Although the number of shares of Common Stock that our existing shareholders own will not decrease, the shares of Common Stock owned by our existing shareholders will represent a smaller percentage of our total outstanding Common Stock after any such issuance.

The following table sets forth information at varying purchase prices assuming we sell to the Facility Investors under the Common Shares Purchase Agreement the lesser of (i) the maximum number of CEF Shares offered by this prospectus and (ii) the maximum number of CEF Shares that we may sell to the Facility Investors that results in the sale of shares of Common Stock with an aggregate purchase price of $20.0 million:
