The information required by this Item 1 is set forth under the headings “Description of Our Securities That We Are Offering—Common Stock” and “Description of Our Securities That We Are Offering—Warrants” in the Registrant’s Registration Statement on Form S-1, as amended (File No. 333-253056) (the “Registration Statement”), as filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) and is incorporated herein by reference. In addition, the above-referenced descriptions of the Common Stock and the Warrants included in any form of prospectus subsequently filed by the Registrant with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be incorporated herein by reference.

Item 2. Exhibits.
