Explanation of Responses:
1. The securities do not have an expiration date.
2. On April 30, 2026, the Issuer entered into a securities purchase agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with certain accredited investors, including the Reporting Person.

The pre-funded warrants and accompanying warrants became exercisable on June 1, 2026, following approval by the Issuer's stockholders of the issuance of common stock upon exercise of the pre-funded warrants and accompanying warrants in accordance with applicable listing rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market, including Nasdaq Listing Rule 5636, at the Issuer's Special Meeting of Stockholders held on June 1, 2026.
