2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
On
February 13, 2025, we issued a non-qualified stock option to purchase 23,818 shares of our common stock and a restricted stock award
for 23,818 shares of our common stock to Alex Andre pursuant to the terms of the employment agreement that he entered into with us in
connection with his appointment as our Chief Financial Officer and General Counsel. The option has a ten-year term, subject to any earlier
termination following cessation of Mr. Andre’s service with us, and an exercise price per share equal to the closing price of our
common stock as reported by the Nasdaq on February 13, 2025. The restricted stock award and option shall each vest over four years as
follows: (a) 25% of the shares underlying the restricted stock award and option shall vest on the first anniversary of the grant date;
and (b) six and one-quarter percent (6.25%) of the shares underlying the restricted stock award and option shall vest each quarter thereafter,
subject to Mr. Andre’s continued service with us through each applicable vesting date. The securities were issued to Mr. Andre
in a private placement transaction that was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(a)(2)
of the Securities Act directly by us without engaging in any advertising or general solicitation of any kind and without payment of underwriting
discounts or commissions to any person.
