On November 18, 2020, Stuart Lichter purchased from the Issuer, in an underwritten public offering (the “Public Offering”), 100,000 units (the “Units”) at a price of $1.40 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one share of Common Stock and one warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock (each, a “Lichter New Warrant”). The Lichter New Warrants are immediately exercisable at a price of $1.40 per share of Common Stock and expire five years from the date of issuance. The shares of Common Stock purchased by Lichter and the accompanying Lichter New Warrants were purchased together in the Public Offering, but were issued separately.

On December 29, 2020, CH Capital Lending, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“CH Capital Lending”), and Industrial Realty Group, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (“IRG”), entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with the Issuer. A copy of the Securities Purchase Agreement is attached as Exhibit 99.9 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference. Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Issuer sold to CH Capital Lending, in a private placement (the “Private Placement”), 10,813,774 shares of Common Stock (the “CHCL Purchased Shares”), and warrants to purchase 10,036,925 shares of Common Stock (the “CHCL New Warrants”). The aggregate purchase price for the CHCL Purchased Shares and the CHCL New Warrants was $15,239,653.08 (the “Purchase Price”). The Purchase Price was paid in the form of the cancellation in full of certain financial obligations owed by the Issuer and its affiliates to IRG and its affiliates in the amount of the Purchase Price. The CHCL New Warrants are exercisable for a total of 10,036,925 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.40 per share of Common Stock (subject to customary adjustments). The CHCL New Warrants may be exercised from and after June 29, 2021, subject to certain terms and conditions set forth in the CHCL New Warrants. The CHCL New Warrants, to the extent not exercised, will expire on December 29, 2025. The form of the CHCL New Warrants is attached as Exhibit 99.10 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
