Gross proceeds from these private warrant exchanges were approximately $0.3 million.

The foregoing summary of the terms of the Exercise Agreement is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, such document, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Accordingly, the subscription
agreements only provide information to investors regarding the terms of the private placement, and do not provide investors with any other factual information regarding the Company. Stockholders should not rely on the representations, warranties and covenants or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts regarding or condition of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties may change after the date of each subscription agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in public disclosures.
