        <footnote id="F1">The exercise price of the warrant securities (&quot;Warrants&quot;) is $0.00001 per share of common stock.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">These Shares are beneficially owned by Citigroup Financial Products Inc. (&quot;CFP&quot;). Citigroup Global Markets Holdings Inc. (&quot;CGM Holdings&quot;) is the sole stockholder of CFP. Citigroup Inc. (&quot;Citigroup&quot;) is the sole stockholder of CGM Holdings.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F3">On July 10, 2018, the reporting person exercised a warrant to purchase 2,000,000 shares of the Issuer's common stock for $0.00001 a share. The reporting person paid the exercise price on a cashless basis, resulting in the Issuer's withholding of 5 of the warrant shares to pay the exercise price and issuing to the reporting person the remaining 1,999,995 shares.</footnote>
    </footnotes>

    <remarks>Although the reporting person was previously the beneficial owner of more than 10% of the Issuer's securities (&quot;10% Owner&quot;), as a result of changes to the total amount of common stock outstanding of the Issuer, the reporting person is no longer a 10% Owner.</remarks>
