Except as set forth below, all Items of the Schedule 13G remain unchanged. All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 13G.

As of the close of business on September 30, 2024, each of Intracoastal and Mr. Kopin may have been deemed to have beneficial ownership of 793,747 shares of Common Stock, which consisted of (i) 527,376 shares of Common Stock held by Intracoastal and (ii) 266,371 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of a warrant held by Intracoastal (“Intracoastal Warrant 1”), and all such shares of Common Stock represented beneficial ownership of approximately 9.99% of the Common Stock, based on (1) 7,679,045 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of September 10, 2024, as reported by the Issuer, plus (2) 266,371 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of Intracoastal Warrant 1. The foregoing excludes (I) 233,629 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of Intracoastal Warrant 1 because Intracoastal Warrant 1 contains a blocker provision under which the holder thereof does not have the right to exercise Intracoastal Warrant 1 to the extent (but only to the extent) that such exercise would result in beneficial ownership by the holder thereof, together with the holder’s affiliates, and any other persons acting as a group together with the holder or any of the holder’s affiliates, of more than 9.99% of the Common Stock, (II) 129,147 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of a second warrant held by Intracoastal (“Intracoastal Warrant 2”) because Intracoastal Warrant 2 contains a blocker provision under which the holder thereof does not have the right to exercise Intracoastal Warrant 2 to the extent (but only to the extent) that such exercise would result in beneficial ownership by the holder thereof, together with the holder’s affiliates, and any other persons acting as a group together with the holder or any of the holder’s affiliates, of more than 4.99% of the Common Stock, (III) 2,312,500 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of a third warrant held by Intracoastal (“Intracoastal Warrant 3”) because Intracoastal Warrant 3 contains a blocker provision under which the holder thereof does not have the right to exercise Intracoastal Warrant 3 to the extent (but only to the extent) that such exercise would result in beneficial ownership by the holder thereof, together with the holder’s affiliates, and any other persons acting as a group together with the holder or any of the holder’s affiliates, of more than 4.99% of the Common Stock and (IV) 192,712 shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of 770.833 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock”) held by Intracoastal because the terms of the Series B Preferred Stock contain a blocker provision under which the holder thereof does not have the right to convert the Series B Preferred Stock to the extent (but only to the extent) that such conversion would result in beneficial ownership by the holder thereof, together with the holder’s affiliates, and any other persons acting as a group together with the holder or any of the holder’s affiliates, of more than 4.99% of the Common Stock.
