<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Banks, brokers, and other agents acting
as nominees are permitted to use discretionary voting authority to vote for proposals that are deemed &ldquo;routine&rdquo; by the New
York Stock Exchange, which means that they can submit a proxy or cast a ballot on behalf of stockholders who do not provide a specific
voting instruction. Brokers, banks, or other nominees are not permitted to use discretionary voting authority to vote for proposals that
are deemed &ldquo;non-routine&rdquo; by the New York Stock Exchange. Under the rules and interpretations of the New York Stock Exchange,
&ldquo;non-routine&rdquo; matters are matters that may substantially affect the rights or privileges of stockholders, such as mergers,
stockholder proposals, elections of directors (even if not contested), executive compensation, and certain corporate governance proposals,
even if management supported. We believe that Proposals 2, 3 and 5 will be treated by the New York Stock Exchange as routine matters
and Proposals 1, 4 and 6 will be treated by the New York Stock Exchange as non-routine matters. The determination of which
proposals are deemed &ldquo;routine&rdquo; versus &ldquo;non-routine&rdquo; may not be made by the New York Stock Exchange until after
the date on which this Proxy Statement has been distributed. As such, it is important that you provide voting instructions to your broker,
bank, or other nominee as to how to vote your shares, if you wish to ensure that your shares are present and voted at the Annual Meeting
on all matters and if you wish to direct the voting of your shares on &ldquo;routine&rdquo; matters.</P>

being considered and has not received instructions from the beneficial owner.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0; text-align: justify">The Company is committed to implementing sound corporate
governance practices, adhering to a robust corporate ethics policy, and equipping the Board and executive team with the tools and training
necessary to manage the Company for the long-term benefit of the Company&rsquo;s stockholders and the Company&rsquo;s long-term sustainability.
The Board has implemented a number of enhancements to the Company&rsquo;s corporate governance practices, including adopting a majority
vote standard for director elections.</P>

on the Nasdaq Capital Market (&ldquo;<B><I>Nasdaq</I></B>&rdquo;). The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC Rules (the &ldquo;<B><I>Nasdaq Rules</I></B>&rdquo;)
require that a majority of the Board be &ldquo;independent directors,&rdquo; as defined in Nasdaq Rule 5605(a)(2). The Nasdaq listing
standards subject members of the Company&rsquo;s Audit Committee and Compensation Committee to additional independence requirements.
The Board has affirmatively determined that each of the Company&rsquo;s non-employee directors, which include Messrs. Robert Anderson,
Stuart Diamond, Peter Knight, and Gary Rubin, and Ms. Jamie Platt are independent directors under the Nasdaq Rules and
listing standards, including with respect to each director&rsquo;s committee service. Stuart Diamond has advised us that he will not
stand for re-election at the Annual Meeting but will continue as a director until the expiration of his current term at the Annual Meeting.
Therefore, Mr. Diamond&rsquo;s term will expire at the Annual Meeting. Upon the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance
Committee, our Board has reduced the size of the Board to seven directors at the Annual Meeting.</P>

as the Company&rsquo;s Executive Chairman since November 2014. In addition to the roles of the President, CEO, and Executive Chairman,
the Company&rsquo;s By-laws require the Board to elect or appoint a Chief Financial Officer, a Treasurer, and a Secretary, who collectively
serve as the officers of the Company. Any two or more offices may be held by the same person.</P>

the roles of the Executive Chairman and CEO should be separate or combined. The Board believes that it should retain flexibility in deciding
from time-to-time which leadership structure is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. At this time, the Board believes
that separating the Executive Chairman and CEO roles best serves the needs of the Company&rsquo;s business, enabling the Company to benefit
from Mr. Girgenti&rsquo;s extensive experience in healthcare marketing strategies, financing, and business diversification through merger
and acquisition opportunities along with his skill in building emerging growth companies into multi-national corporations, while leveraging
Ms. Zannes&rsquo; legal and regulatory background, experience in project management and team leadership, long-standing relationships with
the team of award-winning scientists and business leaders that she has built to advance the Company&rsquo;s objectives, and passion for
defining and advancing the Company&rsquo;s strategic goals.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0; text-align: justify">One of the key functions of the Board is informed
oversight of the Company&rsquo;s risk management process. The Board does not have a standing risk management committee but rather administers
its oversight function directly through the Board as a whole and through its standing committees that address risks inherent in their
respective oversight areas. In particular, the Board is responsible for monitoring and assessing strategic risk exposure. The Audit Committee
has the responsibility to consider and discuss (i) the Company&rsquo;s major financial risk exposures and the steps management has taken
to monitor and control these exposures, which includes establishing guidelines and policies to govern the process by which risk assessment
and management is undertaken and (ii) policies regarding information technology security and protection from cyber risks The Audit Committee
also monitors compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, in addition to oversight of the performance of the Company&rsquo;s external
audit function.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0; text-align: justify">The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee
monitors the effectiveness of the Company&rsquo;s corporate governance guidelines. The Compensation Committee assesses and monitors whether
any of the Company&rsquo;s compensation policies and programs has the potential to encourage excessive risk-taking. While each committee
is responsible for evaluating certain risks and overseeing the management of such risks, the full Board is regularly informed of such
risks through committee reports and otherwise. While the Board oversees the Company&rsquo;s overall risk management, the day-to-day management
processes are executed by the Company&rsquo;s management team. The Company believes that division of responsibilities enables the Company
to address risks most effectively.</P>

resolution setting forth a proposed amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of the issued and outstanding
shares of Common Stock, a copy of which is set forth in the certificate of amendment attached to this Proxy Statement as <U>Appendix
A</U>, declared such amendment advisable, and is recommending that our stockholders approve such proposed amendment. Such amendment will
be effected after stockholder approval thereof only in the event the Board still deems it advisable. Holders of our Common Stock are
being asked to approve the proposal that Section 4 of our Certificate of Incorporation be amended to effect a reverse stock split of
the Common Stock at a ratio in the range of one (1) share of Common Stock for every two (2) shares of Common Stock to one (1) share of
Common Stock for every one hundred (100) shares of Common Stock. If the Reverse Stock Split is approved by our stockholders and if a
certificate of amendment is filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, the certificate of amendment to our Certificate
of Incorporation will affect the Reverse Stock Split by reducing the outstanding number of shares of Common Stock. If the Board
of Directors does not implement an approved Reverse Stock Split prior to the one-year anniversary of this meeting, this vote will be
of no further force and effect, and the Board will again seek stockholder approval before implementing any reverse stock split
after that time. The Board of Directors may abandon the proposed amendment to effect the Reverse Stock Split at any time prior to its
effectiveness, whether before or after stockholder approval thereof.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0; text-align: justify">As of the Record Date, the Company had
[ &nbsp;&nbsp;] shares of Common Stock outstanding. For purposes of illustration, if the Reverse Stock Split is effected at a
ratio of 1-for-10, the number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock after the Reverse Stock Split would be approximately [
&nbsp;&nbsp;] shares. The Board of Directors&rsquo; decision as to whether and when to effect the Reverse Stock Split will be based
on a number of factors, including market conditions, existing and expected trading prices for the Common Stock, and the continued listing
requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market. See below for a discussion of the factors that the Board considered in determining the Range,
some of which included, but was not limited to, the following: the historical trading price and trading volume of the Common Stock; the
expected impact of the Reverse Stock Split on the trading market for the Common Stock in the short-term and long-term, and general market,
economic conditions, and other related conditions prevailing in our industry.</P>

will not change the number of authorized shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock, or the par value of Common Stock or Preferred Stock;
however, effecting the Reverse Stock Split will provide for additional shares of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock. As of
the date of this Proxy Statement, our current authorized number of shares of Common Stock is sufficient to satisfy all of our share issuance
obligations and current share plans, and we do not have any current plans, arrangements, or understandings relating to
the issuance of the additional shares of authorized Common Stock that will become available for issuance following the Reverse Stock
Split.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0; text-align: justify">The Board&rsquo;s primary objective in asking for
authority to effect a reverse split is to increase the per-share trading price of our Common Stock. If our Board does not implement the
Reverse Stock Split prior to the one-year anniversary of the date on which the Reverse Stock Split is approved by our stockholders at
the Annual Meeting, the authority granted in this proposal to implement the Reverse Stock Split will terminate and the Reverse Stock Split
will be abandoned.</P>

we received notice February 7, 2025, from Nasdaq notifying us of our noncompliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) by failing
to maintain a minimum bid price for our Common Stock on Nasdaq of at least $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days (the &ldquo;<B><I>Minimum
Bid Price Requirement</I></B>&rdquo;). The notice has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company&rsquo;s Common Stock,
and the Common Stock will continue to trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol &ldquo;BIAF.&rdquo; In accordance with
Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has a compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until August 6, 2025, to regain compliance
with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). Compliance may be achieved without further action if the closing bid price of the Company&rsquo;s
Common Stock is at or above $1.00 for a minimum of ten consecutive business days at any time during the 180-day compliance period, in
which case Nasdaq will notify the Company if it determines it is in compliance and the matter will be closed; however, Nasdaq may require

the failure of stockholders to approve the Reverse Stock Split Proposal could prevent us from maintaining compliance with the Minimum
Bid Price Requirement and could inhibit our ability to conduct capital raising activities, among other things. If Nasdaq delists the
Common Stock, then the Common Stock would likely become traded on an over-the-counter market such as those maintained by OTC Markets
Group Inc., which do not have the substantial corporate governance or quantitative listing requirements for continued trading that Nasdaq
has. In that event, interest in the Common Stock may decline, and certain institutions may not have the ability to trade
in the Common Stock, all of which could have a material adverse effect on the liquidity or trading volume of the Common Stock. If the
Common Stock becomes significantly less liquid due to delisting from Nasdaq, our stockholders may not have the ability to liquidate their
investments in the Common Stock as and when desired, and we believe our ability to maintain analyst coverage, attract investor interest, and access capital may become significantly
diminished as a result.</P>

Our Board believes that, should the appropriate circumstances arise, effecting the Reverse Stock Split, could, among other things, help
us to appeal to a broader range of investors, generate greater investor interest in the Company, and improve the perception of our Common
Stock as an investment security. Our Common Stock is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, and the failure to comply with the $1.00

Stock. </I>A Reverse Stock Split could allow a broader range of institutions to invest in the Common Stock (namely, funds that are prohibited
from buying stocks whose price is below certain thresholds), potentially increasing trading volume and liquidity of the Common Stock and
potentially decreasing the volatility of the Common Stock if institutions become long-term holders of the Common Stock. A Reverse Stock
Split could help increase analyst and broker interest in the Common Stock as their policies can discourage them from following or recommending
companies with low stock prices. Because of the trading volatility often associated with low-priced stocks, many brokerage houses and
institutional investors have internal policies and practices that either prohibit them from investing in low-priced stocks or tend to
discourage individual brokers from recommending low-priced stocks to their customers. Some of those policies and practices may make the
processing of trades in low-priced stocks economically unattractive to brokers. Additionally, because brokers&rsquo; commissions on low-priced
stocks generally represent a higher percentage of the stock price than commissions on higher-priced stocks, a low average price per share
of Common Stock can result in individual stockholders paying transaction costs representing a higher percentage of their total share value
than would be the case if the share price were higher. Some investors, however, may view a Reverse Stock Split negatively since it reduces
the number of shares of Common Stock available in the public market. If the Reverse Stock Split Proposal is approved and the Board believes
that effecting the Reverse Stock Split is in our best interest and the best interest of our stockholders, the Board may effect the Reverse
Stock Split, regardless of whether our stock is at risk of delisting from Nasdaq Capital Market, for purposes of enhancing the liquidity
of the Common Stock and to facilitate capital raising.</P>

the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on exercise of outstanding warrants, while leaving the number of shares issuable under our
charter unchanged. A Reverse Stock Split will therefor effectively increase the number of shares of the Common Stock that we are able
to issue. This effective increase will facilitate future capital fundraising on our part. Some investors may find the Common Stock more
attractive if the Reverse Stock Split is effected with additional assurance that we are unlikely to be limited in our ability to access
needed capital by the number of shares of our Common Sock authorized for issuance. However, other investors may find the Common Stock
a less attractive investment with the knowledge that additional dilution of the Common Stock is possible.</P>

be used as an anti-takeover mechanism. The relative increase in the number of shares of our Common Stock available for issuance vis-&agrave;-vis
the outstanding shares of our Common Stock, could, under certain circumstances, have an anti-takeover effect, although this is not the
purpose or intent of the Board. It could potentially deter takeovers, including takeovers that the Board has determined are not in the
best interest of our stockholders, in that additional shares could be issued (within the limits imposed by applicable law) in one or
more transactions that could make a change in control or takeover more difficult. For example, we could issue additional shares so as
to dilute the stock ownership or voting rights of persons seeking to obtain control without our agreement. Similarly, the issuance of
additional shares to certain persons allied with our management could have the effect of making it more difficult to remove our current
management by diluting the stock ownership or voting rights of persons seeking to cause such removal. The increase in the number of shares
of authorized Common Stock therefore may have the effect of discouraging unsolicited takeover attempts. By potentially discouraging initiation
of any such unsolicited takeover attempts, the increase may limit the opportunity for our stockholders to dispose of their shares at
the higher price generally available in takeover attempts or that may be available under a merger proposal.</P>

a maximum of 100,000,000 shares of our Common Stock. If Proposal 5 is approved and the authorized increase is effected, the authorized
number of shares of Common Stock will be increased to 350,000,000. As of the Record Date, there were [&nbsp;&nbsp;] shares of our Common
Stock issued and outstanding. Although the number of authorized shares of our Common Stock will not change as a result of the Reverse
Stock Split, the number of shares of our Common Stock issued and outstanding will be reduced in proportion to the ratio selected by the
Board. Thus, the Reverse Stock Split will effectively increase the number of authorized and unissued shares of our Common Stock available
for future issuance by the amount of the reduction effected by the Reverse Stock Split.</P>

financial condition, the percentage ownership of Common Stock by management, the number of our stockholders, or any aspect of
our business will materially change as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. Because the Reverse Stock Split will apply to all issued
and outstanding shares of Common Stock and outstanding rights to purchase Common Stock, the proposed Reverse Stock Split will
not alter the relative rights and preferences of existing stockholders, except to the extent the Reverse Stock Split will result in fractional
shares, as discussed in more detail below.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0; text-align: justify">The Common Stock is currently registered
under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act, and we are subject to the periodic reporting and other requirements of the Exchange Act. The
Reverse Stock Split will not affect the registration of the Common Stock under the Exchange Act or the listing of the Common Stock on
Nasdaq Capital Market (other than to the extent it facilitates compliance with Nasdaq Capital Market continued listing standards). Following
the Reverse Stock Split, the Common Stock will continue to be listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, although it will be considered a new
listing with a new Committee on Uniform Securities Identification Procedures (&ldquo;<B><I>CUSIP</I></B>&rdquo;) number.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0; text-align: justify">The rights of the holders of the Common Stock will
not be affected by the Reverse Stock Split, other than as a result of the treatment of fractional shares as described below. For example,
a holder of 2% of the voting power of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Reverse
Stock Split will generally continue to hold 2% of the voting power of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock immediately after effecting
the Reverse Stock Split. The number of stockholders of record will not be affected by the Reverse Stock Split (except to the extent any
are cashed out as a result of holding fractional shares). If approved and implemented, the Reverse Stock Split may result in some stockholders
owning &ldquo;odd lots&rdquo; of less than 100 shares of the Common Stock. Odd lot shares may be more difficult to sell, and brokerage
commissions and other costs of transactions in odd lots are generally higher than the costs of transactions in &ldquo;round lots&rdquo;
of even multiples of 100 shares. The Board believes, however, that these potential effects are outweighed by the benefits of the Reverse
Stock Split.</P>

Reverse Stock Split, if approved by our stockholders, would become effective upon the filing and effectiveness (the &ldquo;<B><I>Effective
Time</I></B>&rdquo;) of an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, which would
take place at the Board&rsquo;s discretion. The exact timing of the filing of the Reverse Stock Split Amendment, if filed, would be determined
by the Board based on its evaluation as to when such action would be the most advantageous to us and our stockholders. In addition, the
Board reserves the right, notwithstanding stockholder approval and without further action by the stockholders, to elect not to proceed
with the Reverse Stock Split at any time prior to filing the Reverse Stock Split Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of
Delaware, if the Board, in its sole discretion, determines that it is no longer in our best interests or the best interests of our stockholders
to proceed with the Reverse Stock Split. If our Board does not implement the Reverse Stock Split prior to the one-year anniversary of
the date on which the Reverse Stock Split is approved by our stockholders at the Annual Meeting, the authority granted in this proposal
to implement the Reverse Stock Split will terminate and the Reverse Stock Split will be abandoned.</P>

</B>The proposed Reverse Stock Split will not affect the par value of our stock, which will remain at $0.007 per share of Common Stock
and $0.001 per share of Preferred Stock. As a result, the stated capital on our balance sheet attributable to our Common Stock, which
consists of the par value per share of Common Stock multiplied by the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding,
will be reduced in proportion to the Reverse Stock Split Ratio selected by the Board. Correspondingly, our additional paid-in capital
account, which consists of the difference between our stated capital and the aggregate amount paid to the Company upon issuance of all
currently outstanding shares of the Common Stock, will be increased by the amount by which the stated capital is reduced. Our stockholders&rsquo;
equity, in the aggregate, will remain unchanged.</P>

transfer agent (and, for beneficial owners, by their brokers or banks that hold in &ldquo;street name&rdquo; for their benefit, as the
case may be) to give effect to the Reverse Stock Split. Banks, brokers, custodians, or other nominees will be instructed to effect
the Reverse Stock Split for their beneficial holders holding Common Stock in street name. However, these banks, brokers, custodians,
or other nominees may have different procedures than registered stockholders for processing the Reverse Stock Split and making payment
for fractional shares. If a stockholder holds shares of Common Stock with a bank, broker, custodian, or other nominee and has
any questions in this regard, stockholders are encouraged to contact their bank, broker, custodian, or other nominee. We do not
issue physical certificates to stockholders.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0; text-align: justify">The following is a general summary of
the material U.S. federal income tax considerations to U.S. holders (as defined below) of the Reverse Stock Split. This discussion is
based upon current provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the &ldquo;<B><I>Code</I></B>&rdquo;), existing and proposed
Treasury regulations promulgated under the Code (the &ldquo;<B><I>Treasury Regulations</I></B>&rdquo;), and judicial authority
and administrative interpretations, all as of the date of this document, and all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive
effect, and are subject to differing interpretations. Changes in these authorities may cause the tax consequences to vary substantially
from the consequences described below. We have not sought and will not seek an opinion of counsel or any rulings from the Internal Revenue
Service (the &ldquo;<B><I>IRS</I></B>&rdquo;) with respect to any of the tax considerations discussed below. As a result, there can be
no assurance that the IRS will not assert, or that a court would not sustain, a position contrary to any of the conclusions set forth
below.</P>

under the tax on net investment income or the alternative minimum tax, nor does it address any tax consequences arising under the laws
of any state, local or non-U.S. jurisdiction, U.S. federal estate or gift tax laws, or any tax treaties. Furthermore, this discussion
does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be applicable to U.S. holders in light of their particular circumstances
or to U.S. holders that may be subject to special rules under U.S. federal income tax laws, including, without limitation:</P>

a &ldquo;recapitalization&rdquo; for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a result, a U.S. holder of Common Stock generally should not
recognize gain or loss upon the Reverse Stock Split, except with respect to cash received in lieu of a fractional share of Common Stock,
as discussed below. A U.S. holder&rsquo;s aggregate tax basis in the shares of Common Stock received pursuant to the Reverse Stock Split
should equal the aggregate tax basis of the shares of Common Stock surrendered (excluding any portion of such basis that is allocated
to any fractional share of Common Stock), and such U.S. holder&rsquo;s holding period in the shares of Common Stock received should include
the holding period in the shares of Common Stock surrendered. Treasury regulations provide detailed rules for allocating the tax
basis and holding period of the shares of Common Stock surrendered to the shares of Common Stock received in a recapitalization pursuant
to the Reverse Stock Split. U.S. holders of shares of Common Stock acquired on different dates and at different prices should consult
their tax advisors regarding the allocation of the tax basis and holding period of such shares.</P>

between the amount of cash received and the U.S. holder&rsquo;s tax basis in the shares of Common Stock surrendered that is allocated
to such fractional share of Common Stock. Such capital gain or loss should be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. holder&rsquo;s
holding period for Common Stock surrendered exceeds one year at the effective time of the Reverse Stock Split. The deductibility of capital
losses is subject to limitations. A U.S. holder that receives cash in lieu of a fractional share of our Common Stock pursuant to the Reverse

generally be treated as having received a distribution that will be treated first as dividend income to the extent paid out of our current

Common Stock, with any remaining amount being treated as capital gain. U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the tax

(after taking into account certain constructive ownership rules) provided that (i) such gain or loss is not effectively connected
with the conduct of a trade or business by such non-U.S. holder in the United States (or, if certain income tax treaties apply, is not

such gain is effectively connected with the non-U.S. holder&rsquo;s conduct of a trade or business in the U.S., and if an applicable

in the United States, the non-U.S. holder will be taxed on a net income basis at the regular tax rates and in the manner applicable to
U.S. holders, and if the non-U.S. holder is a corporation, an additional branch profits tax at a rate of 30%, or a lower rate as may
be specified by an applicable income tax treaty, may also apply. If the non-U.S. holder is an individual present in the United States
for 183 days or more in the taxable year of the Reverse Stock Split and certain other requirements are met, the non-U.S. holder will
be subject to a 30% tax (or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty between the United States and such
holder&rsquo;s country of residence) on the net gain from the exchange of the shares of our Common Stock, which may be offset by certain
U.S.-source capital losses of the non-U.S. holder, if any.</P>

holder certifies under penalties of perjury that it is a non-U.S. holder, and the applicable withholding agent does not have actual knowledge

lower of: (i) the closing price immediately preceding the signing of the binding agreement or (ii) the average closing price of the
Common Stock for the five trading days immediately preceding the signing of the binding agreement. The closing price of our Common
Stock on Nasdaq on February 24, 2025, the trading date immediately preceding the signing of the Inducement Agreement, was $0.78 per share

Since the amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation will provide that the number of authorized shares of Common Stock will be 350,000,000,
the increase in the number of shares of authorized Common Stock, if effected, will result in a relative increase in the number of authorized
but unissued shares of our Common Stock vis-&agrave;-vis&nbsp;the outstanding shares of our Common Stock and, could, under certain circumstances,
have an anti-takeover&nbsp;effect, although this is not the purpose or intent of the Board. It could potentially deter takeovers, including
takeovers that the Board has determined are not in the best interest of our stockholders, in that additional shares could be issued (within
the limits imposed by applicable law) in one or more transactions that could make a change in control or takeover more difficult. For
example, we could issue additional shares so as to dilute the stock ownership or voting rights of persons seeking to obtain control without
our agreement. Similarly, the issuance of additional shares to certain persons allied with our management could have the effect of making
it more difficult to remove our current management by diluting the stock ownership or voting rights of persons seeking to cause such
removal. The increase in the number of shares of authorized Common Stock therefore may have the effect of discouraging unsolicited takeover
attempts. By potentially discouraging initiation of any such unsolicited takeover attempts, the increase may limit the opportunity
for our stockholders to dispose of their shares at the higher price generally available in takeover attempts or that may be available
under a merger proposal.</FONT></P>

own. Such warrants include (i) Tradeable Warrants to purchase 98,198, 39,182, and 39,182 shares of Common Stock owned by Mr. Girgenti,

with the State of Delaware which increased the number of shares of our authorized Common Stock to allow for sufficient authorized
and unissued shares of Common Stock for the full exercise of all of the outstanding Pre-IPO Warrants, Tradeable Warrants and Non-Tradeable
Warrants of the Company and the issuance of all of the shares of Common Stock underlying such warrants. On June 5, 2024, we filed an
amendment to our certificate of incorporation to increase the number of shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance from 25,000,000
to 100,000,000, after receiving the approval of our stockholders of such certificate of amendment at our 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.
Upon the filing of the certificate of amendment, the aforementioned warrants became exercisable and the warrant amendment was rendered
