entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to
sell and issue to the Investors in a private placement (the “Private Placement”) (i) an aggregate of 1,100,000 shares (the
“Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the “Common Stock”), at a purchase
price of $1.52 per share and associated warrant, (ii) an aggregate of 3,289,474 warrants to purchase Common Stock at an execution price
of $1.40 per warrant share which are immediately exercisable and remain exercisable for a term of five and a half (5.5) years from issuance
(the “Common Warrants”), and (iii) in lieu of shares of Common Stock, 2,189,474 pre-funded warrants to purchase Common Stock,
with an exercise price of $0.0001 per share of Common Stock, which are immediately exercisable and remain exercisable until exercised
in full (the “Pre-Funded Warrants,” and together with the “Common Warrants, the “Warrants,” and collectively
with the Shares, the “Securities”). The Private Placement closed on August 11, 2022. The Company received gross proceeds

cash placement fee equal to 7.0% of the gross proceeds of the Private Placement, plus reimbursement of certain expenses and legal fees.
