On September 28, 2023, the Reporting Persons experienced an increase in their beneficial ownership of Biolase, Inc. (the "Issuer") to above 10% of the outstanding Common Stock. On September 29, 2023, the Reporting Persons experienced a decrease in their beneficial ownership that reduced their beneficial ownership to below 10% of the Issuer's outstanding Common Stock due to a reduction in excess securities borrows.
