that the amount of merger consideration payable to the holders of the Company&#8217;s common stock, par&#160;value $0.0001 per share (&#8220;<font style="font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Common

the &#8220;<font style="font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Parent Proposal</font>&#8221;). The Parent Proposal is contingent on the existing holders (the&#160;&#8220;<font style="font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Preferred Stockholders</font>&#8221;) of the Company&#8217;s Series&#160;A through Series&#160;A-4 preferred stock, par&#160;value $0.0001 per share (collectively, the&#160;&#8220;<font style="font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Preferred Stock</font>&#8221;), being the holders of all of the issued and outstanding Preferred Stock of the Company, rolling over 100% of the Preferred Stock held by them into new preferred equity in the surviving company following the merger (such proposed rollover, the&#160;&#8220;<font style="font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Rollover Transaction</font>&#8221;). The Special Committee and the Board each continue to review the Parent Proposal. The Preferred Stockholders have confirmed to the Board and the Special Committee that, subject to finalization of the applicable definitive transaction documents between the Preferred Stockholders and Parent, the Preferred Stockholders have reached an agreement in principle with Parent on the terms of the Rollover Transaction. The Preferred Stockholders have also confirmed that they are working with Parent to finalize the terms of such definitive transaction documents relating to the Rollover Transaction.</p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:36pt;margin:0pt;">Pursuant to the Merger Agreement (as amended by the Fifth&#160;Amendment), either Parent or the Company has the right to terminate the Merger Agreement if the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are not consummated on or before 11:59&#160;p.m. Central Time on September&#160;12, 2024 (the&#160;&#8220;<font style="font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Termination Date</font>&#8221;). The Sixth&#160;Amendment amends the Merger Agreement to extend the Termination&#160;Date from 11:59&#160;p.m. Central Time on September&#160;12, 2024 to 11:59&#160;p.m. Central Time on December&#160;31, 2024.<a name="_Hlk156944907"></a></p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:36pt;margin:6pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Except as modified by the Sixth&#160;Amendment, the terms of the Merger&#160;Agreement, the First&#160;Amendment, the Second&#160;Amendment, the Third&#160;Amendment, the Fourth&#160;Amendment and the Fifth&#160;Amendment, in the forms filed as Exhibit&#160;2.1 to the Current Reports on Form&#160;8-K filed by the Company on December&#160;18, 2023, January&#160;24, 2024, February&#160;6, 2024, February&#160;16, 2024, April&#160;16, 2024 and June&#160;11, 2024, respectively, with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the &#8220;<font style="font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">SEC</font>&#8221;), are unchanged.
