(2)	Shares withheld to cover tax withholdings obligations upon the vesting of RSUs.
(3)	These RSUs vest in three tranches. Tranche 1 will vest 20,000 shares of common stock after the Reporting Person's continued employment on or after June 18, 2025 if the price of the Company's common stock increases to $2.21 per share and trades at or above that price for 20 consecutive trading days prior to June 18, 2027. Tranche 2 will vest 25,000 shares after the Reporting Person's continued employment on or after June 18, 2025 if the price of the Company's common stock increases to $2.94 per share and trades at or above that price for 20 consecutive trading days prior to June 18, 2027.
