AMENDMENTS TO EXISTING WARRANTS

This Supplement is being filed to disclose the following:

On September 30, 2022, we entered into a securities purchase agreement entered with a single institutional investor (the “Registered Direct Offering”), and the accompanying base prospectus under our registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-258646). In connection with the Registered Direct Offering, the Company entered into a warrant amendment agreement (the “Warrant Amendment Agreement”) with the purchaser in the Registered Direct Offering under which the Company agreed to amend certain outstanding warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 14,829,751 shares of common stock that were previously issued in 2018 and 2021 to the purchaser, with exercise prices ranging from $2.05 to $65.00 per share, in consideration for their purchase of approximately $3.38 million of common stock in the Registered Direct Offering.

Under the Warrant Amendment Agreement, with respect to Existing Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 14,829,751 shares of common stock held by the institutional investor in the Registered Direct Offering and covered by the Warrant Amendment Agreement, the Company agreed to (i) lower the exercise price of such Existing Warrants to $0.377 per share, (ii) provide that such Existing Warrants, as amended, will not be exercisable until six months following the closing date of the Registered Direct Offering and (iii) extend the original expiration date of such Existing Warrants to five and one-half years following the closing of the Registered Direct Offering. These amendments became effective on September 30, 2022, when the closing of the Registered Direct Offering occurred and each of such purchasers satisfied its purchase commitment to the Company.
