 YA GP. Mark Angelo makes the investment decisions on behalf of YA II. Accordingly, each of YA II, YA Feeder, the YA Advisor, the YA Advisor GP, the YA GP, the Yorkville GP and Mark Angelo may be deemed affiliates and therefore may be deemed to beneficially own the same number of shares of Class A Common Stock. YA II entered into a Standby Equity Purchase Agreement (“SEPA”) with the Company dated as of July 18, 2022. Under the SEPA, the Company has the option to sell shares of its Class A Common Stock to YA II at a price and on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the SEPA. Under the SEPA, the Company is prohibited from selling shares to YA II to the extent that it would cause the aggregate number of shares beneficially owned by YA II and its affiliates to exceed 9.99% of the shares of the Company. Each YA II Person disclaims beneficial ownership of any securities beneficially owned by each other YA II Person. The address for each of these entities and individuals is c/o 1012 Springfield Ave., Mountainside, NJ 07092.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 |

#### COMMUNICATIONS WITH THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
It is the policy of the Board that stockholders and interested persons shall have reasonable access to directors at annual meetings of stockholders and an opportunity to communicate directly with directors on appropriate matters. The Board will generally respond, or cause the Company to respond, in writing to bona fide communications from stockholders addressed to one or more members of the Board.
