1 The original Schedule 13G stated that Title 19 Investments LLC may be deemed to beneficially own 257,812 Common Shares. Ownership of these Common Shares was held by Title 19 Investments LLC at the time of such filing but should have been attributable to Title 19 Promis and has since been corrected. This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13G has been revised accordingly.

Schedule 13G
Explanatory Note:
This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13G is filed jointly on behalf of Michael S. Gordon, Title 19 Investments LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Title 19 Investments”), Title 19 Acies, a series of a Delaware limited liability company (“Title 19 Acies”), and Title 19 Promis, a series of a Delaware limited liability company (“Title 19 Promis,” and collectively with Mr. Gordon, Title 19 Investments and Title 19 Acies, the “Reporting Persons”), pursuant to Rule 13d-1(c). Prior to the effective date of the registration of the Issuer’s common shares, no par value per share (“Common Shares”), pursuant to Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, in July of 2021, (i) Title 19 Acies acquired 2,900,000 Common Shares, representing 48,333 Common Shares following a 60:1 stock split (the “Stock Split”) of the Issuer that occurred in June 2022, and (ii) Title 19 Promis acquired (a) 12,375,000 Common Shares, representing 206,250 Common Shares following the Stock Split, (b) 3,093,750 warrants to purchase Common Shares, each initially exercisable to purchase one Common Share and, as a result of the Stock Split, now exercisable to purchase an aggregate of 51,562 Common Shares, and (c) 30,000,000 Series 1 Preferred Shares (“Series 1 Preferred Shares”) of the Issuer, each initially convertible into one Common Share in accordance with the terms of the Series 1 Preferred Shares and, as a result of the Stock Split, now convertible into an aggregate of 500,000 Common Shares. On October 11, 2022, Title 19 Promis acquired 106,391 Common Shares and 26,597 warrants, each exercisable to purchase one Common Share, in a private placement conducted by the Issuer. On August 23, 2023, Title 19 Promis acquired 797,872 common share units, each consisting of one Common Share and one warrant to purchase one Common Share (the “August 2023 Warrants”), in a private placement conducted by the Issuer, which August 2023 Warrants are not currently exercisable. The August 2023 Warrants have an exercise price of $1.75 per whole warrant, are exercisable beginning February 23, 2024 and expire February 23, 2029. Such acquisition, when added to all other acquisitions of securities of the same class during the 12 months immediately preceding the date of such acquisition, aggregates to greater than two percent (2%) of the class of such securities. However, such acquisition was not done with any purpose, or with the effect, of changing or influencing the control of the Issuer, or in connection with or as a participant in any transaction having that purpose or effect.
