Field: /Page

(a) As of the close of business on February 3, 2022, the Reporting Persons beneficially owned an aggregate of 1,011,789 Shares, which represented 10.3% of the outstanding Shares, based upon 9,835,379 Shares outstanding as of October 31, 2021 as reported in the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 12, 2021.

The aggregate beneficial ownership reflected in the remainder of this Item 5, and in the cover pages, reflect beneficial ownership as of the close of business on February 3, 2022.

Shared power to vote or direct the vote: 1,011,789

The power to vote or to direct the vote or to dispose or direct the disposition of the Shares reported herein is shared among the Reporting Persons, including the 786,461 Shares held in the SMAs.

(c) The Reporting Persons have not entered into any transactions in the securities of the Issuer since the filing of Amendment No. 2.

(d) No person other than the Reporting Persons is known to have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the Shares.
