This Amendment No. 1 is being filed jointly by the Reporting Persons and amends the Schedule 13G initially filed by the Reporting Persons with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 20, 2020 (the “Schedule 13G”).

 

Except as set forth below, all Items of the Schedule 13G remain unchanged. All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 13G.

 

Item 4. Ownership.

 

(a) and (b):

 

As of the close of business on December 31, 2020, each of the Reporting Persons may have been deemed to have beneficial ownership of 1,459,458 shares of Common Stock, which consisted of (i) 729,729 shares of Common Stock held by Intracoastal and (ii) 729,729 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of a Intracoastal Warrant 1, and all such shares of Common Stock in the aggregate represented beneficial ownership of approximately 7.5% of the Common Stock, based on (1) 8,859,868 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of November 16, 2020 as reported by the Issuer, plus (2) 9,765,933 shares of Common Stock issued at the closing of the transaction contemplated by the SPA and (3) 729,729 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of Intracoastal Warrant 1. The foregoing excludes 195 shares of Common Stock issuable upon an exercise of Intracoastal Warrant 2 because Intracoastal Warrant 2 contains a blocker provision under which the holder thereof does not have the right to exercise Intracoastal Warrant 1 to the extent (but only to the extent) that such exercise would result in beneficial ownership by the holder thereof, together with the holder’s affiliates, and any other persons acting as a group together with the holder or any of the holder’s affiliates, of more than 4.99% of the Common Stock. Without such blocker provision, each of the Reporting Persons may have been deemed to have beneficial ownership of 1,459,653 shares of Common Stock.

 

(c) Number of shares as to which each Reporting Person has:

 

(i) Sole power to vote or to direct the vote:        0        .

 

(ii) Shared power to vote or to direct the vote:        1,459,458        .

 

(iii) Sole power to dispose or to direct the disposition of        0        .

 

(iv) Shared power to dispose or to direct the disposition of        1,459,458        .
