1Represents 307,167 shares of Common Stock purchased by LPC Fund directly from the Issuer in a registered direct offering of Common Stock on April 20, 2023 (the “Registered Direct Offering”) and a warrant to purchase 307,167 shares of Common Stock (the “April Warrant”) purchased by LPC Fund directly from the Issuer in a concurrent private placement (the “Private Placement”). The April Warrant, however, contains a 9.99% contractual cap on the amount of outstanding shares of the Issuer’s common stock that LPC Fund may own upon exercise of such April Warrant. Therefore, the number of shares of the Issuer’s common stock beneficially owned by LPC Fund under the April Warrant as of the date of this filing was 151,875 shares, which, when combined with the 307,167 shares of Common Stock presently owned, is 9.99% of the 4,595,019 shares that were outstanding on that date (as reported in the Issuer’s prospectus supplement filed on April 21, 2023). The shares outstanding includes the 307,167 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer owned directly by LPC Fund, but does not include any shares issuable upon exercise of the April Warrant issued to LPC Fund or any other investor in the Private Placement.

 

As of April 20, 2023, LPC Fund beneficially owned, directly, (i) 32,000 shares currently exercisable under a warrant purchased directly from the Issuer in the Issuer’s offering of warrants on January 24, 2023 (the “January Warrant”), subject to a 4.99% beneficial ownership cap (as described further below); (ii) 307,167 shares of Common Stock, purchased by LPC Fund directly from the Issuer in the Registered Direct Offering, and (iii) 151,875 shares currently exercisable under the April Warrant purchased directly from the Issuer in the Private Placement. The April Warrant amount is subject to a 9.99% beneficial ownership cap that prohibits the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of any Warrants to the extent such issuance would cause the holder’s beneficial ownership of Common Stock to exceed 9.99% of the outstanding Common Stock.

 

The January Warrant is currently exercisable at a price of $12.09 per share (subject to adjustment as provided in the January Warrant), subject to a 4.99% beneficial ownership cap that prohibits the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the January Warrant to the extent such issuance would cause the holder’s beneficial ownership of Common Stock (as calculated pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Act and Rule 13d-3 promulgated thereunder) to exceed 4.99% of the outstanding Common Stock, and expires on January 24, 2028. The April Warrant will be issued and will become exercisable on April 24, 2023 at a price of $2.93 per share (subject to adjustment as provided in the April Warrant), subject to a 9.99% beneficial ownership cap that prohibits the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the April Warrant to the extent such issuance would cause the holder’s beneficial ownership of Common Stock (as calculated pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Act and Rule 13d-3 promulgated thereunder) to exceed 9.99% of the outstanding Common Stock, and expires on April 24, 2028.

 

LPC is the Managing Member of LPC Fund. RCC and Alex Noah are the Managing Members of LPC. Mr. Scheinfeld is the president and sole shareholder of RCC, as well as a principal of LPC. Mr. Cope is the president and sole shareholder of Alex Noah, as well as a principal of LPC. As a result of the foregoing, Mr. Scheinfeld and Mr. Cope have shared voting and shared investment power over the shares of Common Stock of the Issuer held directly by LPC Fund.

 

 

 

 

SCHEDULE 13G

 

CUSIP NO. 97382D204 Page 11 of 13

 

Pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Act and the rules thereunder, each of LPC, RCC, Mr. Scheinfeld, Alex Noah, and Mr. Cope may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of the shares of Common Stock of the Issuer beneficially owned directly by LPC Fund.

 

The foregoing should not be construed in and of itself as an admission by any Reporting Person as to beneficial ownership of any shares of Common Stock owned by another Reporting Person. Pursuant to Rule 13d-4 of the Act, each of LPC, RCC, Mr. Scheinfeld, Alex Noah, and Mr. Cope disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares of Common Stock of the Issuer held directly by LPC Fund.
