−Removed: AND PROCEDURES
−Removed: Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to
−Removed: ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within

+Added: CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
+Added: Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
+Added: Based on an evaluation of our disclosure controls
+Added: and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange
+Added: Act”), our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not
+Added: effective as of December 31, 2024, because of certain material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, as further
+Added: described below.
+Added: Notwithstanding these material weaknesses, our
+Added: management concluded that our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K fairly present, in all material
+Added: respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows as of and for the periods presented in conformity with accounting
+Added: principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S.
+Added: Management’s Report on Internal Control
+Added: Over Financial Reporting
+Added: The management of Solidion Technology, Inc.is
+Added: responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)
+Added: under the Exchange Act.
+Added: Under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we
+Added: conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of Solidion’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024.
+Added: making this assessment, we used the criteria set forth in the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) issued by
+Added: the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”).
+Added: Based on our evaluation under these criteria,
+Added: management determined, based upon the existence of the material weaknesses described below, that we did not maintain effective internal
+Added: control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024.
+Added: Material Weaknesses
A material weakness is a deficiency or combination
of deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement
−Removed: of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
−Removed: the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting
−Removed: officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the fiscal period
−Removed: ended December 31, 2023, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act.
−Removed: Based on this evaluation, our
−Removed: principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that during the period covered by this report, our disclosure
−Removed: controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2023 due to the Company utilizing
−Removed: cash withdrawn from the trust account for tax obligations for operating purposes.
−Removed: In hindsight, the amounts withheld from the trust should
−Removed: have been promptly remitted, or held as restricted cash.
−Removed: Since the business combination has been completed and the trust no longer exists,
−Removed: any remedial measures to correct this would be futile.
−Removed: The tax obligation has been entered as income taxes payable and the Company intends
−Removed: to remit payment as soon as practically possible, in conjunction with applicable tax authority deadlines.
−Removed: Management’s Report on Internal Controls
−Removed: Over Financial Reporting
−Removed: Our management is responsible for establishing
−Removed: and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act.
−Removed: of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting is not intended to provide absolute assurance that a material misstatement
−Removed: of our consolidated financial statements would be prevented or detected.
−Removed: Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future
−Removed: periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance
−Removed: with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
−Removed: Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that
−Removed: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of
−Removed: (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements
−Removed: in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance
−Removed: with authorizations of our management and directors;
−Removed: and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of
−Removed: unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
−Removed: Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and
−Removed: Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December
−Removed: 31, 2023 based on the framework established in “Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013)” issued by the Committee
−Removed: of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
−Removed: As disclosed above, our management concluded that our internal control over financial
−Removed: reporting were not effective as of that date, due to the Company utilizing cash withdrawn from the trust account for tax obligations for
−Removed: operating purposes.
−Removed: In addition, as an emerging growth company,
−Removed: management’s assessment of internal control over financial reporting was not subject to attestation by our independent registered
−Removed: public accounting firm.
+Added: of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
+Added: Management identified deficiencies in the principles
+Added: associated with the control environment, risk assessment, control activities, information & communication, and monitoring components
+Added: of internal control, based on the criteria established by the COSO framework, that constitute material weaknesses, either individually
+Added: or in the aggregate as described below.
+Added: Control Environment :
+Added: Solidion does not
+Added: maintain a sufficient complement of qualified technical accounting and financial reporting personnel to perform control activities, including
+Added: those related to complex and/or non-routine transactions.
+Added: Additionally, Solidion did not implement sufficient segregation of duties within
+Added: its financial reporting function in order to demonstrate independence and proper oversight.
+Added: This material weakness contributed to the additional
+Added: material weaknesses further described below.
+Added: Risk Assessment :
+Added: Solidion did not design
+Added: and implement an effective risk assessment based on the criteria established in the COSO framework.
+Added: A material weakness, either individually
+Added: or in the aggregate, was identified pertaining to (i) identifying, assessing, and communicating appropriate objectives;
+Added: (ii) identifying
+Added: and analyzing risks to achieve these objectives;
+Added: and (iii) implementing an effective risk assessment to identify and assess changes in
+Added: the business if such changes were to occur.
+Added: Control Activities :
+Added: Solidion did not effectively
+Added: design and implement control activities to support the operating effectiveness of controls to prevent and detect potential material errors
+Added: based on the criteria established in the COSO framework.
+Added: As a result, the following control deficiencies constitute material weaknesses,
+Added: individually or in the aggregate:
+Added: (i) ineffective controls related to the review and approval of journal entries and reconciliations,
+Added: and (ii) a lack of appropriate accounting policies and procedures.
+Added: Information and Communication:
+Added: We identified
+Added: control deficiencies that constitute material weaknesses, either individually or in the aggregate, related to (i) internal communication
+Added: of information, including objectives and responsibilities for internal control, necessary to support the functioning of internal control;
+Added: and (ii) communicating relevant information to external parties timely.
+Added: Solidion did not maintain effective
+Added: monitoring activities to determine whether the components of internal control over financial reporting were present and functioning based
+Added: on the criteria established in the COSO framework.
+Added: Remediation Plans and Status
+Added: We are committed to maintaining a strong internal
+Added: control environment and implementing measures designed to ensure that control deficiencies contributing to the material weaknesses are
+Added: remediated as soon as practicable.
+Added: We plan to engage a third party to assist in our remediation efforts.
+Added: We will design and implement
+Added: a risk assessment process and establish processes and controls to support an effective control environment.
+Added: These actions are intended
+Added: to enable Solidion to enhance our monitoring of our internal controls over financial reporting as well as enhance required communication.
+Added: In addition, we will design and implement controls to address material weaknesses in control activities including the proper review and
+Added: approval of journal entries and reconciliations.
+Added: As Solidion continues to evaluate its internal
+Added: controls, it may take additional remediation actions.
+Added: The material weaknesses will be considered remediated when Solidion’s management
+Added: designs and implements effective controls that operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing,
+Added: that these controls are effective.
+Added: Solidion’s management will monitor the effectiveness of its remediation plans and will make changes
+Added: management determines to be appropriate.

+Added: above, there were no changes during the quarter ended December 31, 2024, in our internal control over financial reporting that materially

−Removed: Basis of Presentation and Principles of
−Removed: Consolidation
−Removed: The accompanying consolidated financial statements
−Removed: have been prepared in accordance with U.S.
−Removed: GAAP and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
−Removed: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries.
−Removed: All intercompany transactions and balances
−Removed: have been eliminated.
−Removed: Emerging Growth Company
−Removed: The Company is an “emerging growth company,”
−Removed: as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart
−Removed: Our Business Startups Act of 2012, as amended (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various
−Removed: reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited
−Removed: to, not being required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirements of Section 404 of the
−Removed: Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and
−Removed: exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden
−Removed: parachute payments not previously approved.
−Removed: Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts
−Removed: emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that
−Removed: is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered
−Removed: under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards.
−Removed: The JOBS Act provides that a company
−Removed: can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but
−Removed: any such election to opt out is irrevocable.
−Removed: The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that
−Removed: when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging
−Removed: growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard.
−Removed: This may make
−Removed: comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an
−Removed: emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential
−Removed: differences in accounting standards used.
−Removed: Use of Estimates
−Removed: The preparation of financial statements in conformity
−Removed: with US GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
−Removed: liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses
−Removed: during the reporting period.
−Removed: Making estimates requires management to exercise
−Removed: significant judgment.
−Removed: It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances
−Removed: that existed at the date of the balance sheet which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term
−Removed: due to one or more future confirming events.
−Removed: Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.
−Removed: Cash and cash equivalents
−Removed: The Company considers all short-term investments
−Removed: with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
−Removed: The Company did not have any cash equivalents
−Removed: as of December 31, 2023 and 2022.
−Removed: and investments held in Trust Account

−Removed: The taxes were not paid directly at that time as the tax liabilities are due to be paid subsequently in 2024.
−Removed: In hindsight, the amounts
−Removed: withheld from the trust should have been promptly remitted, or held as restricted cash.
−Removed: The Company remitted approximately $ 82,000 of
−Removed: the tax obligation in the first quarter 2024 to the relevant tax authorities, and intends to remit remaining payments as soon as practically
−Removed: possible, in conjunction with applicable tax authority deadlines.
−Removed: Offering Costs associated with an Initial

−Removed: The Company complies with the requirements of
−Removed: the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 340-10-S99-1 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”)

−Removed: Upon completion of the Initial Public
−Removed: Offering, offering costs associated with the shares of Class A Common Stock were allocated between temporary equity and the Public Warrants
−Removed: by the relative fair value method.
−Removed: Total offering costs at the close of the Initial Public Offering were $ 6,951,081 .

−Removed: Common stock subject to mandatory redemption is classified as a liability instrument and is measured at fair value.
−Removed: Conditionally redeemable
−Removed: common stock (including common stock that features redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption
−Removed: upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) is classified as temporary equity.
−Removed: times, common stock is classified as stockholders’ equity (deficit).
−Removed: The Company’s Class A common stock features certain redemption
−Removed: rights that are considered by the Company to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future
−Removed: Accordingly, at December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the shares of Class A common stock subject to possible redemption in
−Removed: the amount of approximately $ 24.3 million and $ 127.2 million, respectively, are presented as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’
−Removed: equity section of the Company’s balance sheets.
−Removed: The Company recognizes changes in redemption
−Removed: value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable Class A common stock to equal the redemption value at the
−Removed: end of each reporting period.
−Removed: Immediately upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company recognized a measurement adjustment
−Removed: from initial book value to redemption amount value.
−Removed: The change in the carrying value of redeemable Class A ordinary shares resulted in
−Removed: charges against additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficit of approximately $ 4.8 million and $ 12.9 million for the year ended
−Removed: December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
−Removed: The valuation of common stock subject to redemption includes the Company’s
−Removed: estimate of interest held in the Trust Account that is available for payment of taxes, and excludes dissolution expense of up to $ 100,000
−Removed: since it is only taken into account in the event of the Company’s liquidation.
−Removed: At December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the
−Removed: Class A common stock subject to possible redemption reflected in the balance sheet is reconciled in the following table:
−Removed: Gross proceeds
+Added: prior to the expiration of the earn out periods set forth in (i)-(iii) above, there occurs any transaction resulting in a change in control,
+Added: and the corresponding valuation of Solidion’s Class A common stock, calculated inclusive of the Earnout Shares to be issued under
+Added: the Earnout Arrangement, is greater than or equal to the amount set forth in (i)-(iii), as applicable, then, immediately prior to the
+Added: consummation of such change in control, the event set forth in (i)-(iii), as applicable, if not previously satisfied, shall be deemed
+Added: to have occurred, subject to the terms provided in the Merger Agreement.
+Added: As of December 31, 2024, none of the Earnout Shares
+Added: had been earned by G3.
+Added: The Merger was accounted for as a common control
+Added: transaction with respect to HBC which is akin to a reverse recapitalization.
+Added: This conclusion was based on the fact that G3 had a controlling
+Added: financial interest in HBC prior to the Merger and has a controlling financial interest in Solidion (which includes HBC as a wholly owned
+Added: Net assets of Nubia were stated at their historical carrying amounts with no goodwill or intangible assets recognized in
+Added: accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S.
+Added: The Merger with respect
+Added: to HBC was not treated as a change in control due primarily to G3 receiving the controlling voting stake in Solidion and G3’s ability
+Added: to nominate a majority of the board of directors of Solidion.
+Added: Under the guidance in ASC 805 for transactions between entities under common
+Added: control, the assets and liabilities of HBC and Nubia are recognized at their carrying amounts on the date of the Merger.
+Added: Under a reverse recapitalization, Nubia was treated as the “acquired”
+Added: company for financial reporting purposes.
+Added: Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Merger was treated as the equivalent of HBC issuing
+Added: stock for the net liabilities of Nubia, accompanied by a recapitalization.
+Added: Company’s financial statements have been prepared under the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern, which
+Added: contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future.
+Added: Since the Company’s inception, it has experienced
+Added: recurring net losses and net cash used in operating activities and has generated minimal sales.
+Added: For the year ended December 31, 2024,
+Added: the Company recorded a net loss of $ 25,929,003 , which included a gain of $ 18,011,100 due to the change in the fair value of derivative
+Added: liabilities and a $ 30,281,475 loss due to the issuance of common stock and warrants, net cash used in operating activities of $ 7,377,807
+Added: and as of December 31, 2024, had cash and cash equivalents of $ 3,353,732 .
+Added: For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recorded a
+Added: net loss of $ 5,324,624 and net cash used in operating activities of $ 4,068,302 .
+Added: The Company expects to continue to incur net losses and
+Added: net cash used in operating activities in accordance with its operating plan and expects that expenditures will increase significantly
+Added: in connection with its ongoing activities.
+Added: As of the balance sheet date and up to the date that the financial statements were issued,
+Added: the Company does not have availability under any debt agreements.
+Added: Given the Company’s projected operating requirements and its existing
+Added: cash and cash equivalents, the Company is projecting insufficient liquidity to sustain its operations and meet its obligations through
+Added: one year following the date that the financial statements were issued.
+Added: In addition, the Company has received a notice from the Nasdaq
+Added: related to their failure to maintain the minimum bid price requirement of $ 1 per share.
+Added: The Company is not currently in compliance with
+Added: the Nasdaq listing rules and if the Company does not regain compliance, the common stock of the Company could be delisted from the Nasdaq
+Added: If the Company’s common stock is delisted, it may affect the Company’s ability to obtain financing, trade or sell
+Added: shares of their common stock, and/or forecasted operations could be negatively impacted in an amount that the Company cannot currently
+Added: These events and conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
+Added: an early-stage growth company, the Company’s ability to access capital is critical.
+Added: The Company plans to finance its operations
+Added: with proceeds from the sale of equity securities or debt;
+Added: however, there is no assurance that management’s plans to obtain additional
+Added: debt or equity financing will be successfully implemented or implemented on terms favorable to the Company.
+Added: financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
+Added: and Uncertainties
+Added: Company’s current business activities consist of development and commercialization of battery materials, components, cells, and
+Added: selected module/pack technologies.
+Added: The Company faces inherent risks associated with its operations, such as the ongoing development of
+Added: its technology, marketing, and distribution channels, as well as the enhancement of its supply chain and manufacturing capabilities.
+Added: Additionally, the need to recruit additional management and key personnel is vital.
+Added: The success of the Company’s development initiatives
+Added: and the achievement of profitability hinge on various factors, including its ability to enter potential markets and secure sustainable
+Added: financing in the future.
+Added: Company’s future results of operations involve a number of risks and uncertainties.
+Added: Factors that could affect the Company’s
+Added: future operating results and cause actual results to vary materially from expectations include, but are not limited to, rapid technological
+Added: change, competition from substitute products and larger companies, protection of proprietary technology, ability to maintain distributor
+Added: relationships and dependence on key individuals.

−Removed: The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and
−Removed: liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:
−Removed: Level 1 — quoted
−Removed: prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
−Removed: An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions
−Removed: for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
−Removed: Level 2 —observable
−Removed: inputs other than Level 1 inputs.
−Removed: Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities
−Removed: and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
−Removed: Level 3 —unobservable
−Removed: inputs based on our assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
−Removed: The following table presents information about
−Removed: the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value at December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, and indicates

+Added: to the issuance of August Private Placement common stock and $ 222,566 was allocated to the issuance of Series C and D warrants.
+Added: Private Placement closed on September 5, 2024.
+Added: The Company used the net proceeds from the August Private Placement for working capital
+Added: and general corporate purposes.
+Added: As part of the August Private Placement, the Company issued an aggregate
+Added: of 12,217,468 units and pre-funded units (collectively, the “Units”) at a purchase price of $ 0.3274 per unit.
+Added: Each Unit consists
+Added: of (i) one share of common stock, par value $ 0.0001 per share of the Company (the “Common Stock”) (or one pre-funded warrant

+Added: determined on the Reset Date (as defined below), and in accordance with the terms therein (the “Series D Warrant” and together
+Added: with the Pre-Funded Warrant and the Series C Warrant, the “Warrants”).
+Added: The Company accounts for the outstanding PIPE Warrants as liability-classified

+Added: NOTE 9 — WARRANTS
+Added: Warrants – Public Warrants
+Added: In connection with Nubia’s initial public offering in 2022,
+Added: 6,175,000 public warrants were issued, entitling holders to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $ 11.50 per share,
+Added: subject to adjustment.
+Added: Only whole warrants may be exercised.
+Added: The warrants expire five years after the completion of the Company’s
+Added: initial business combination, February 2, 2029.
+Added: The Company is not obligated to issue shares upon warrant exercise
+Added: unless a registration statement covering the underlying shares is effective.
+Added: If a registration statement is not effective, holders may
+Added: exercise warrants on a cashless basis under certain conditions.
+Added: The Company may redeem the warrants at $ 0.01 per warrant, with at least
+Added: 30 days’ prior notice, if the common stock trades at or above $ 18.00 per share for 20 trading days within a 30 -day period after
+Added: the warrants become exercisable.
+Added: Adjustments to the number of shares issuable upon exercise and the exercise price may occur in the event
+Added: of stock splits, dividends, reorganizations, or similar events.
+Added: Warrants do not provide voting rights or shareholder privileges until
+Added: No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise.
+Added: The Company evaluated the public warrants and determined that it is
+Added: a freestanding equity-linked contract within the scope of ASC 815-40.
+Added: Based on this guidance, the Company concluded that the IPO warrants
+Added: qualify for equity classification.
+Added: Warrants – Private Warrants
+Added: In connection with Nubia’s initial public offering in 2022, 5,405,000
+Added: Private Warrants were issued.
+Added: Except as described below, the Private Warrants have terms and provisions
+Added: that are identical to those of the public warrants, including as to exercise price, exercisability and exercise period.
+Added: The Private Warrants
+Added: will be exercisable on a cashless basis and will not be redeemable by us so long as they are held by the holders of the private warrants
+Added: or their permitted transferees.
+Added: The holders of the Private Warrants or their permitted transferees have the option to exercise the private
+Added: warrants on a cashless basis.
+Added: If the Private Warrants are held by holders other than the holders of the Private Warrants and their permitted
+Added: transferees, the Private warrants will be redeemable by us and exercisable by the holders on the same basis as the warrants included in
+Added: the units being sold in the Company’s initial public offering.
+Added: If exercised on a cashless basis, holders will receive shares of common
+Added: stock based on the difference between the warrant exercise price and the fair market value of the stock.
+Added: Fair market value is determined
+Added: as the average last sale price of the common stock over the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day before the exercise notice
+Added: The reason that The Company have agreed that these warrants will be exercisable on a cashless basis so long as they are held by
+Added: the holders of the Private Warrants and their permitted transferees is because it is not known at this time whether they will be affiliated
+Added: with us following an initial business combination.
+Added: If they remain affiliated with us, their ability to sell the Company’s securities
+Added: in the open market will be significantly limited.
+Added: The Company has policies in place that prohibit insiders from selling the Company’s
+Added: securities except during specific periods of time.
+Added: Even during such periods of time when insiders will be permitted to sell the Company’s
+Added: securities, an insider cannot trade in the Company’s securities if he or she is in possession of material non-public information.
+Added: Accordingly, unlike public stockholders who typically could sell the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants freely
+Added: in the open market, the insiders could be significantly restricted from doing so.
+Added: As a result, The Company believes that allowing the
+Added: holders to exercise such warrants on a cashless basis is appropriate.
+Added: In addition, holders of the Company’s Private
+Added: Warrants are entitled to certain registration rights.
+Added: The Company evaluated the Private Warrants and determined that it is
+Added: a freestanding equity-linked contract within the scope of ASC 815-40.
+Added: Based on this guidance, the Company concluded that the Private Warrants
+Added: qualify for equity classification.
+Added: Series A and Series B Warrants
+Added: The Series A and Series B Warrants issued in conjunction with the March
+Added: Private Placement were determined to be liability classified in accordance with ASC 815 and have been recognized at fair value upon issuance,
