 of the holder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Series D Certificate of Designation provides that in no event will the preferred stock be convertible into common stock in a manner that would result in the holder, its permitted transferees, and affiliates holding more than 19.99% (together with any shares of common stock otherwise held by the investor, its permitted transferees, and their affiliates) of the then issued and outstanding common stock (the “Ownership Limitation”), prior to the date that the Company’s stockholders approve the issuance of shares of common stock to the holder upon conversion of the preferred stock. Upon receipt of stockholder approval, the shares of preferred stock will automatically be converted into shares of common stock without further action of the holder thereof.

Lazar and AEI Transactions

In March 2024, the Company entered into the March 2024 Purchase Agreement with David E. Lazar, pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell 3,000,000 shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series E Preferred Stock”) to Mr. Lazar at a price of $1.00 per share for aggregate gross proceeds of $3.0 million.

In connection with the transactions contemplated by the March 2024 Purchase Agreement, the Company entered into settlement agreements (the “Settlement Agreements”) with each of the EIB and Curetis, and Curetis’ trustee in insolvency, pursuant to which the parties agreed to settle outstanding
