In exchange for entering into the Termination Agreement, the Company issued to Ridgeway: (i) sixty-five million shares (“Common Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), and (ii) 8,000 shares of Series F 0% Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series F Preferred Stock”).

The Company has filed a certificate of designation (“COD”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware that contains the rights, preferences, and privileges of the Series F Preferred Stock. to the COD, each share of Series F Preferred Stock has a stated value of $10.00 per share and is convertible into Common Stock at any time at the election of the holder. In the aggregate, all of the Series F Preferred Stock issued to Ridgeway is convertible into such number of shares of Common Stock equal to eighty percent (80%) of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, post-conversion, on the conversion date (taking into effect any forward or reverse stock splits or consolidations). The Series F Preferred Stock votes on an as converted to common stock basis.

As a result of the issuance of the Common Shares and Series F Preferred Stock, Ridgeway Therapeutics became the owner of approximately 54.14% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Stock. Furthermore, by virtue of the issuance of the Series F Preferred Stock, Ridgeway will vote on an as converted to common stock basis which shall be equal to eighty percent (80%) of the issued and outstanding Common Stock post-conversion.
