Item 4. Purpose of the Transaction
The information contained in Item 3 of this Schedule 13D is incorporated herein by reference.
The Reporting Persons hold their securities of the Issuer for investment purposes in the ordinary course of their business of investing in securities for their own accounts. Ms. Chudnovsky has been appointed to serve as a

and other parties regarding the Issuer, including with respect to the Issuer’s operations, governance and control.
The Reporting Persons expect to review from time to time their investment in the Issuer and may, depending on the market and other conditions and subject to applicable law (a) acquire beneficial ownership of additional
Issuer securities in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise, (b) dispose of all or part of their holdings of Issuer securities, or (c) take other actions which could involve one or more of the types of transactions or

shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by her. Certain shares underlying Pre-Funded Warrants are not presently convertible into Common Stock due to a 19.99% beneficial ownership limitation.
The foregoing beneficial ownership percentage is based on a total of 16,286,818 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of August 11, 2023, as reported in the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (File No. 001-41159) filed
