The information contained in Items 5-9 and 11 of the cover pages of this Schedule 13G is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 4.
AJB Capital Investments LLC (“AJB Investments”) is the direct owner of 7,081,226 shares of common stock of the Issuer, par value 0.0001 (“Shares”), constituting approximately 8.2% of the Issuer’s Shares, and has the sole power to vote and dispose of such securities.

AJB Capital Managers LLC (“AJB Managers”), in its capacity as the Manager of AJB Investments, has the ability to direct the management of the business of AJB Investments including the power to vote and dispose of securities beneficially owned by AJB Investments; therefore, AJB Managers may be deemed to have indirect beneficial ownership of the Shares held by AJB Investments.
AJB Managers is managed by a board of managers (the “Board of Managers”) which operates by majority vote such that no individual member of the Board of Managers has voting or dispositive control over the Shares. Each individual constituting the Board of Managers therefore expressly disclaims beneficial ownership of these securities.
Pursuant to Rule 13d-4 of the Exchange Act, the Reporting Persons declare that filing this Schedule 13G shall not be construed as an admission that any such person is, for the purposes of Section 13(d) and/or Section 13(g) of the Exchange Act, the beneficial owner of any securities covered by this Schedule 13G except to the extent of such person’s pecuniary interest in the Units, and except to the extent of its pecuniary interest, such beneficial ownership is expressly disclaimed by each Reporting Person.
All calculations of percentage ownership herein are based on 86,623,596 Shares outstanding as of November 20, 2023, as reported in the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 20, 2023.
