The shares consist of (i) up to 9,283,333 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of 185.66 shares of Series A Convertible Non-Voting Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Newbridge Private Placement Shares”) sold in the a private placement offering where Newbridge Securities Corporation acted as the sole placement agent (the “Newbridge Private Placement Offering”), (ii) 813,333 shares of Common Stock issued to the placement agent of the Newbridge Private Placement Offering (the “Placement Agent Shares”), (iii) 66,794,143 shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to the January 23, 2023 share exchange with former shareholders (the “Exchange Shares”), (iv) 418,333 shares of Common Stock issued in consideration of consulting fees to various consultants (the “Consultant Shares”); (v) 4,333,333 shares of Common Stock sold in December 2022 (the “Private Placement Shares” and collectively with the Newbridge Private Placement Shares, the Placement Agent Shares, the Exchange Shares and the Consultant Shares, the “IPO Shares” ), (vi) 880,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the principal and accrued interest of two convertible promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $201,200 in total, at a price of $0.23 per share, issued to certain Selling Stockholders on April 5, 2024 (the “Note Shares”), and (vii) up to 11,604,167 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of warrants (the “Warrants”) sold in the Newbridge Private Placement Offering (the “Warrant Shares”).
