 stock, approximately 28,463,388 shares of common stock were committed for issuance giving effect to the assumed exercise of all outstanding options and vesting of restricted stock units and performance stock units and approximately  70,222,215 shares of common stock initially underlying the Series A Preferred Stock and 52,666,669 shares of common stock initially underlying the Warrants. The exercisability of the Series A Preferred Stock and the Warrants is contingent upon us obtaining stockholder approval to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock.  Due to the limited number of authorized shares common stock available for future issuance, we may not be able to raise additional equity capital, complete a merger or other business combination, unless we increase the number of shares we are authorized to issue.

We may continue to incur additional expenses not currently contemplated due to events associated with strategic prioritization and streamlining of resources; for example, the reduction in force may have a future impact on other areas of our liabilities and obligations, which could result in losses in future periods. The reduction in force may result in unintended consequences and costs, such as the loss of institutional knowledge and expertise, attrition beyond the intended number of employees, and decreased morale among our remaining employees. In addition, while positions have been eliminated, certain functions necessary to our operations remain, and we might not
