Further, the percentage reflected under "Percent of Class Represented by Amount in Row (11)" assumes that the Purchasers have not exercised the Series D Preferred Stock they acquired in the October 2025 Transactions (each as defined herein). Following such conversion, the Reporting Person's ownership percentage will be approximately 5%.</commentContent>

        <contractDescription>Item 6 is hereby amended to add the following:

On October 9, 2025, the Reporting Person entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the "October 2025 Purchase Agreement") with R01 Fund LP ("R01 LP") and Framework Ventures IV L.P. ("Framework" and together with R01 LP, the "Purchasers") pursuant to which the Purchasers agreed to acquire from the Reporting Person all of the Reporting Person's right, title and interest in (i) an aggregate of 441,325 shares of Series D Preferred Stock for $9,850,000 and (ii) the rights and obligations to purchase 268,750 shares of Series E Preferred Stock for an additional $2,150,000 payable to the Issuer (the "October 2025 Transactions"). The closing of the transactions contemplated by the October 2025 Purchase Agreement was subject to the approval by the Issuer's stockholders of proposals 5 and 9 set forth in the Issuer's Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A, filed by the Issuer with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 23, 2025, which approval was obtained at the Issuer's 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders on October 16, 2025 (the "Annual Meeting"), as well as certain other customary closing conditions. The Purchasers have the ability to waive such closing conditions. In connection with the October 2025 Purchase Agreement, the Issuer agreed to perform its covenants and obligations pursuant to the SPA dated as of August 19, 2025. The Preferred Stock remains subject certain conversion limitations as previously disclosed. Following the conclusion of the Annual Meeting, the Reporting Person entered into an agreement with the Poplar Entities pursuant to which the Voting Agreement was terminated.

Following the consummation of the October 2025 Transactions, the Reporting Person (i) retains an aggregate of 39,925 shares of Series D Preferred Stock, convertible into 6,388,000 shares of the Issuer's Common Stock (subject to a beneficial ownership limitation) and (ii) no longer holds any shares of Series E Preferred Stock. The Reporting Person's ownership percentages reflected in this Amendment No. 1 assume that the Purchasers have not exercised the Series D Preferred Stock they acquired in the October 2025 Transactions. Following such conversion, the Reporting Person's ownership percentage will be approximately 5%.
