Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

Prior to the Issuer’s initial public offering (the “IPO”), and after accounting for the 1-1.681 forward stock split that the Issuer had effected on April 22, 2022, FLS X purchased from the Issuer in a series of private transactions, (i) 4,034,397 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $2,543, and (ii) convertible promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $35,772,111 (the “Notes”). Immediately prior to closing of the IPO, the Notes, including the interest that had accrued thereunder, automatically converted into 2,736,234 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer at a conversion price of $13.60 per share, resulting in FLS X holding a total of 6,770,631 shares of Common Stock at such time. In connection with the IPO, FLS X purchased 1,764,706 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer at the IPO price of $17.00 per share. FLS X holds 8,535,337 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer as of the date of this filing (the “FLS X Shares”).

In connection with the IPO, FLSPF purchased 588,235 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer at the IPO price of $17.00 per share and has since acquired an additional 513,660 shares of Common Stock. FLSPF holds 1,101,895 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer as of the date of this filing (the “FLSPF Shares”).

Page 13

The working capital of FLS X and FLSPF was the source of the funds for the purchase of the FLS X Shares and the FLSPF Shares. No part of the purchase price of the FLS X Shares or the FLSPF Shares was represented by funds or other consideration borrowed or otherwise obtained for the purpose of acquiring, holding, trading or voting the FLS X Shares or the FLSPF Shares.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

(a)

The information should also be furnished with respect to persons who, together with any of the persons named in Item 2, comprise a group within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Act:

The percentage of outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Issuer, which may be deemed to be beneficially owned by each Reporting Person, is set forth on Line 13 of such Reporting Person’s cover sheet. Such percentage was calculated based on the 33,427,209 shares of Common Stock that were outstanding on July 31, 2022 as set forth in the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as filed with the SEC on August 10, 2022.
