Warrant Liability
−Removed: In connection with the Preferred Stock Offering
−Removed: (see Note 10), the Company issued the Warrants.
−Removed: After the Warrants were legally issued as a result
−Removed: of the automatic conversion of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock upon shareholder approval, they became immediately exercisable at the option
−Removed: of the holder.
−Removed: The Company determined that the Warrants, while still contingently issuable, qualified as derivative instruments pursuant
−Removed: to ASC 815-40, Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity and that the Warrants were considered issued for accounting purposes
−Removed: concurrently with the Series A-1 Preferred Stock.
−Removed: On June 26, 2023, the Company held its annual
−Removed: shareholder meeting, and as a result, shareholder approval for the conversion of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock was obtained.
−Removed: 11, 2023, pursuant to the Certificate of Designation, the Company issued, in addition to common stock and Series A-2 Preferred Stock,
−Removed: (i) a Tranche A Warrant to acquire 47,852,430 shares of Series A-3 Preferred Stock, (ii) a Tranche B Warrant to acquire 43,502,206 shares
−Removed: of Series A-4 Preferred Stock, and (iii) a Tranche C Warrant to acquire 69,603,531 shares of Series A-5 Preferred Stock.
−Removed: The Warrants are recognized as liabilities in
−Removed: the balance sheets and were initially recognized at fair value at the time of issuance.
−Removed: The Warrants are also subject to remeasurement
−Removed: at each balance sheet date after issuance.
−Removed: Any change in fair value is recognized as a component of other income (expense) in the statements
−Removed: of operations in the period of change.
−Removed: The valuation of the Warrants contains unobservable
−Removed: inputs that reflect the Company’s own assumptions for which there is little market data.
−Removed: Accordingly, the Warrants are measured
−Removed: at fair value on a recurring basis using unobservable inputs and are classified as Level 3 inputs.
−Removed: The significant unobservable inputs
−Removed: used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s Warrants include, but are not limited to, probability of obtaining certain
−Removed: shareholder approvals, probability of reaching certain technical milestones related to the development of Oxylanthanum Carbonate, and
−Removed: the estimated term of the Warrants.
−Removed: Significant increases (decreases) in any of those inputs in isolation would result in a significantly
−Removed: higher (lower) fair value measurement.
−Removed: Generally, a change in the assumption used for the probability of obtaining certain shareholder
−Removed: approvals is not correlated to a change in the probability of reaching certain technical milestones.
−Removed: However, a change to the assumption
−Removed: used for the probability of obtaining certain shareholder approvals or a change in the probability of reaching certain technical milestones
−Removed: would have been accompanied by a directionally opposite change and a directionally similar change, respectively, in the assumption used
−Removed: for the estimated term.
−Removed: The fair value of the contingently issuable Warrants
−Removed: associated with the Company’s March 2023 private placement transaction was determined as of March 3, 2023, and March 31, 2023,
−Removed: by using a Monte Carlo simulation technique (“MCS”) to value the embedded derivatives associated with the Warrants.
−Removed: methodology calculates the theoretical value of a warrant based on certain parameters, including:
−Removed: (i) the threshold of exercising the
−Removed: warrant, (ii) the price of the underlying security, (iii) the time to expiration, or expected term, (iv) the expected volatility of the
−Removed: underlying security, (v) the risk-free rate, (vi) the number of paths, (vii) estimated probability assumptions surrounding shareholder
−Removed: approval as well as the achievement by the Company of technical milestones associated with regulatory and commercial progress, and (viii)
−Removed: an estimated discount for lack of marketability.
−Removed: The MCS valuation model was used for the valuation
−Removed: performed as of the transaction inception on March 3, 2023, and on March 31, 2023, due to uncertainty in the timing of shareholder approval
−Removed: and the potential variability in the Warrant exercise price.
−Removed: On June 26, 2023, the Company held its annual shareholder meeting, and as
−Removed: a result, shareholder approval for the issuance of common shares upon the conversion of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock was obtained and
−Removed: the exercise price for the Warrants became fixed.
−Removed: Therefore, as of December 31, 2023, the fair value of the Warrants was determined using

+Added: the “Amended Tranche C Warrants,” together with the Amended Tranche A Warrants and the Amended Tranche B Warrants, the “Amended
+Added: Warrants”) convertible into 69,603,351 shares of common stock.
+Added: The Amended Warrants have the same terms and conditions as the original
+Added: warrants except that such Amended Warrants:
+Added: (i) reduced the amount of shares of Series A-3 Convertible Preferred Stock, Series A-4 Convertible
+Added: Preferred Stock and Series A-5 Convertible Preferred Stock into which such Amended Warrants are convertible as described above;
+Added: for the issuance of fractional shares of Series A-3 Preferred Stock, Series A-4 Preferred Stock and Series A-5 Preferred Stock, as applicable
+Added: upon exercise of such Amended Warrants and (ii) revised the exercise price to be $ 1,000 per share of Series A-3 Preferred Stock, Series
+Added: A-4 Preferred Stock and Series A-5 Preferred Stock, as applicable in such Amended Warrants.
+Added: The aggregate exercise price, the amount of
+Added: shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Series A-3 Preferred Stock, the Series A-4 Preferred Stock and the Series A-5 Preferred
+Added: Stock and exercise period in the Amended Warrants did not change from the Original Warrants.
+Added: The Warrants are recognized as liabilities in the balance sheets and
+Added: were initially recognized at fair value at the time of issuance.
+Added: The Warrants are also subject to remeasurement at each balance sheet
+Added: date after issuance.
+Added: Any change in fair value is recognized as a component of other income (expense) in the statements of operations in
+Added: the period of change.
+Added: The valuation of the Warrants contains unobservable inputs that reflect
+Added: the Company’s own assumptions for which there is little market data.
+Added: Accordingly, the Warrants are measured at fair value on a recurring
+Added: basis using unobservable inputs and are classified as Level 3 inputs.
+Added: The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement
+Added: of the Company’s Warrants include, but are not limited to, probability of obtaining certain shareholder approvals, probability of
+Added: reaching certain technical milestones related to the development of Oxylanthanum Carbonate, and the estimated term of the Warrants.
+Added: increases (decreases) in any of those inputs in isolation would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement.
+Added: a change in the assumption used for the probability of obtaining certain shareholder approvals is not correlated to a change in the probability
+Added: of reaching certain technical milestones.
+Added: However, a change to the assumption used for the probability of obtaining certain shareholder
+Added: approvals or a change in the probability of reaching certain technical milestones would have been accompanied by a directionally opposite
+Added: change and a directionally similar change, respectively, in the assumption used for the estimated term.
+Added: The fair value of the contingently issuable Warrants associated with
+Added: the Company’s March 2023 private placement transaction was determined as of March 3, 2023, and March 31, 2023, by using a Monte
+Added: Carlo simulation technique (“MCS”) to value the embedded derivatives associated with the Warrants.
+Added: The MCS methodology calculates
+Added: the theoretical value of a warrant based on certain parameters, including:
+Added: (i) the threshold of exercising the warrant, (ii) the price
+Added: of the underlying security, (iii) the time to expiration, or expected term, (iv) the expected volatility of the underlying security, (v)
+Added: the risk-free rate, (vi) the number of paths, (vii) estimated probability assumptions surrounding shareholder approval as well as the
+Added: achievement by the Company of technical milestones associated with regulatory and commercial progress, and (viii) an estimated discount
+Added: for lack of marketability.
+Added: The MCS valuation model was used for the valuation performed as of
+Added: the transaction inception on March 3, 2023, and on March 31, 2023, due to uncertainty in the timing of shareholder approval and the potential
+Added: variability in the Warrant exercise price.
+Added: On June 26, 2023, the Company held its annual shareholder meeting, and as a result, shareholder
+Added: approval for the issuance of common shares upon the conversion of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock was obtained and the exercise price for
+Added: the Warrants became fixed.
+Added: Therefore, as of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2024, the fair value of the Warrants was determined using
a Black Scholes model using parameters including (i) the exercise price of the warrant, (ii) the price of the underlying security, (iii)
the time to expiration, or expected term, (iv) the expected volatility of the underlying security, (v) the risk-free rate, and (vi) estimated

−Removed: Generally, a significant increase (decrease)

−Removed: (lower) fair value measurement;
−Removed: however, changes in other inputs such as expected term and price of the underlying common stock will
