**Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.**

As previously disclosed in its Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on August 13, 2025, Digital Brands Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and certain accredited investors (each, an "Investor" and collectively, the "Investors") closed a private investment in public equity (the "PIPE Offering") pursuant to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated August 8, 2025 (the "Original Purchase Agreement"). At the initial closing under the Initial Purchase Agreement on August 13, 2025 (the "Initial Closing"), the Company issued to the Initial Investors an aggregate of approximately 14,031.25 shares of its Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the "Series D Preferred Stock"), which shares are convertible into shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the "Common Stock"), subject to applicable beneficial ownership limitations, at a conversion price equal to 80% of the lowest closing price of the Common Stock for each of the five trading days immediately preceding the applicable conversion date. The Series D Preferred Stock had a stated value of $1,000 per share, or approximately $14,031,250 in the aggregate, with aggregate gross cash proceeds of approximately $11,225,000 to the Company (the "Initial Subscription Amount"), before deducting placement agent fees and other offering expenses. The shares of Series D Preferred Stock issued at the Initial Closing were issued pursuant to that certain Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights of the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Initial Series D COD") filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the "Delaware Secretary of State") on August 8, 2025.

On September 23, 2025, the Company and the Investors entered into an amendment to the Original Purchase Agreement (the "Amendment" and together with the Original Agreement, the "Purchase Agreement") to provide for, among other things, (i) the Company's sale and issuance of an additional 1,875 shares of Series D Preferred Stock to (the "Additional Series D Shares") to one of the Investors (the "Additional Investor"), (ii) an amendment to the Initial Registration Rights Agreement (as defined below) to extend the Company's deadline to file the resale registration statement covering the resale of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock, including the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Additional Series D Shares (the "Resale Registration Statement") to December 1, 2025, and (iii) an amendment to the Initial Series D COD, to increase the Stated Value (as defined in the Series D COD) of the Series D Preferred Stock from $1,000 per share to $1,150 per share. The Additional Series D Shares are subject to the same conversion terms as the shares of Series D Preferred Stock issued at the Initial Closing.

At the second closing under the Purchase Agreement on September 26, 2025 (the "Second Closing"), the Company issued the Additional Series D Shares to Additional Investor for aggregate gross cash proceeds of $1,500,000 (the "Additional Subscription Amount" and together with the Initial Subscription Amount, the "Subscription Amount"), reflecting an aggregate stated value of $2,156,250, or $1,150 per share.

Pursuant to the Amendment, the Company was entitled to release 50% of the Subscription Amount held in the Segregated Account (as defined in the Amendment) upon consummation of the Second Closing, with the additional 50% of the Subscription Amount to be released from the Segregated Account after the (i) Reverse Split Approvals (as defined in the Amendment) have been approved, (ii) 20% Rule Approval (as defined in the Amendment) has been obtained, and (iii) the Resale Registration Statement has been declared effective by the SEC.

In addition, at the Second Closing, certain Investors agreed to exercise Common Stock Purchase Warrants (the "Warrants") in the aggregate amount of $300,000 in cash in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Warrants.

RBW Capital Partners LLC (a division of Dawson James Securities, Inc.) acted as placement agent (the "Placement Agent") in connection with the Second Closing, pursuant to that certain Placement Agency Agreement, dated as of August 8, 2025, between the Company and the Placement Agent, pursuant to which the Company paid the Placement Agent a cash fee equal to 8.00% of the aggregate gross proceeds from proceeds raised in the Second Closing.

The securities being offered and sold by the Company in the PIPE Offering, including the Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock, have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration with the SEC or an applicable exemption from such registration requirements. The securities were offered only to accredited investors.

The foregoing descriptions of the Amendment and the RRA Amendment do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Form of Amendment and Form of RRA, which were filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K (this "Current Report"), and are incorporated herein by reference.

**Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.**

The shares of Series D Preferred Stock issued and sold under the Purchase Agreement as described in Item 1.01 of this Current Report were offered and sold by the Company in reliance upon an exemption from registration pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

**Item 3.03 Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.**

Pursuant to the Amendment and as a condition to the Second Closing, on September 25, 2025, the Company amended the Initial Series D COD by filing that certain First Amendment to Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights of the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock of Digital Brands Group, Inc. (the "Series D COD Amendment" and together with the Initial Series D COD, the "Series D COD") with the Delaware Secretary of State. The Series D COD Amendment increased the (i) number of authorized shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock from 15,000 shares to 17,500 shares and (ii) Stated Value from $1,000 per share $1,150 per share.

The Series D Shares and the Conversion Shares issued or issuable to the Purchasers pursuant to this Agreement shall be referred to in this Agreement as the "**Securities**."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. **<u>Amendment to Section 2.5 of the Purchase Agreement</u>**. Section 2.5 of the Purchase Agreement shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.5. <u>Segregated Account for Subscription Amount.</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, on or prior to the applicable Closing, pursuant to Section 2.3(b)(iv) of this Agreement, the Purchaser shall wire its Subscription Amount to a segregated bank account of the Company, the sole purpose of which is to hold subscription funds until released pursuant to this Agreement (the "**Segregated Account**"). The Segregated Account shall be maintained by the Company in a manner that ensures such funds are not commingled with the Company's general operating funds and are clearly identifiable as Subscription Amounts received in connection with this Agreement. The Company shall not withdraw or use any of the funds deposited in the Segregated Account except as provided in this Section 2.5. The Segregated Account shall be established and maintained by the Company but any withdrawals or transfers of any portion of the Subscription Amount from the Segregated Account shall require a joint signature of the Company and an authorized representative designated by the Lead Purchaser (as denoted in the signature pages hereto), who shall initially be Dmitriy Shapiro (the "**Lead Purchaser**").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The aggregate Subscription Amount (including the aggregate Additional Subscription Amount) shall remain in the Segregated Account and shall not be accessed, released, transferred or otherwise used by the Company unless and until: (i) the Initial Reverse Split Approvals (as defined in Section 2.6(b)) have been duly authorized, executed and proof thereof has been delivered to the Placement Agent; (ii) if required by the rules of the Principal Trading Market, the Company has obtained Shareholder Approval for the issuance of securities in excess of 20% of the Company's issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (the "**20% Rule Approval**") and proof thereof has been delivered to the Placement Agent; and (iii) this Amendment and the RRA Amendment have been fully executed and delivered to the Purchasers (the "**First Draw Triggers**"). Upon the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this Section <u>2.5(b)</u>, the Company shall have the right to transfer up to 50% of the aggregate Subscription Amount (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall include 50% of the aggregate Additional Subscription Amount) then held in the Segregated Account to the Company's general operating account for use in accordance with <u>Section 4.7</u> of this Agreement (the "**First Draw**").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) If First Draw Triggers applicable to the First Draw for 50% of the Subscription Amount held in the Segregated Account described in <u>Section 2.5(b)</u> above have not been satisfied by the Company by the close of business on September 30, 2025, each Purchaser shall have the right, but not the obligation, to require the Company to redeem the Series D Shares issued in respect of such Purchaser's unreleased portion of the Subscription Amount and/or Additional Subscription Amount, as applicable. To exercise such right, a Purchaser must deliver a written notice of redemption (a "**Redemption Notice**") to the Company and the Placement Agent by no later October 15, 2025. Within five (5) Business Days after receiving each or any Redemption Notice, the Company shall return to each electing Purchaser its pro rata share of the funds then held in the Segregated Account, without interest, based on the unreleased portion of such Purchaser's Subscription Amount and Additional Subscription Amount relative to the total amount of all timely Redemption Notices. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the redemption right granted to the Purchasers in this <u>Section 2.6(c)</u> shall terminate, expire and otherwise no longer be available to Purchasers with respect to 50% of the Subscription Amount and Additional Subscription Amount then held in the Segregated Account immediately, and without any action required on any Party, upon the Company's satisfaction of the First Draw Triggers.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) The remaining 50% of the aggregate Subscription Amount (including the aggregate Additional Subscription Amount) following the First Draw shall remain in the Segregated Account and shall not be accessed, released, transferred, or otherwise used by the Company unless and until: (i) if required by the rules of the Principal Trading Market, the Company has obtained the 20% Rule Approval; and (ii) the Company has received a written notice from the Commission that the Registration Statement has been declared effective under the Securities Act (the "**Second Draw Conditions**"). Upon satisfaction of the Second Draw Conditions, the Company shall promptly provide written notice via email to the Placement Agent that such Second Draw Conditions have been satisfied and shall provide proof thereof. Following the delivery of such notice to the Placement Agent, the Company may transfer the remaining 50% of the Subscription Amount from the Segregated Account to its general operating account for use in accordance with <u>Section 4.7</u> of this Agreement (the "**Second Draw**"). The Company's access to or use of funds held in the Segregated Account in violation of this Section 2.5 shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) If the Registration Statement is not declared effective on or prior to the Effectiveness Date (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), each Purchaser shall have the right, but not the obligation, to require the Company to redeem (i) in the event the First Draw Triggers have been satisfied, up to 100% of the Series D Shares issued in respect of such Purchaser's unreleased portion of the Subscription Amount and/or Additional Subscription Amount, or (ii) in the event the First Draw Triggers have not been satisfied, up to 100% of the Series D Shares issued in respect of such Purchaser's portion of the Subscription Amount and/or Additional Subscription Amount. To exercise such right, a Purchaser must deliver a Redemption Notice to the Company and the Placement Agent no later than ten (10) Business Days following the Effectiveness Date. Within five (5) Business Days after receiving each or any Redemption Notices, the Company shall return to each electing Purchaser its pro rata share of the funds then held in the Segregated Account, without interest, based on the unreleased portion of such Purchaser's Subscription Amount and Additional Subscription Amount relative to the total amount of all timely Redemption Notices.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Company shall not be obligated to redeem more than the aggregate amount then held in the Segregated Account and shall have no obligation to fund any shortfall from validly received Redemption Notices from its general operating account or other sources. Upon payment in full of a Purchaser's applicable portion of the Subscription Amount (including the Additional Subscription Amount), the Series D Shares subject to such redemption shall be deemed automatically cancelled and of no further force or effect, and such Purchaser shall no longer be entitled to any liquidated damages pursuant to Section 2(b) of the Registration Rights Agreement with respect to such redeemed shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein in the event the First Draw Triggers or Second Draw Triggers have been satisfied and the Company requests the Lead Purchaser's signature for the release of the First Draw or Second Draw from the Segregated Account as required pursuant to <u>Section 2.5(a)</u> of this Agreement for the release of the First Draw or Second Draw, as applicable, form the Segregated Account, the Lead Purchaser shall provide its signature within 24 hours of receiving such request from the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. **<u>Amendment to Section 2.6(b) of the Purchase Agreement</u>**. Section 2.5(b) of the Purchase Agreement shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) If, at the time of a Reverse Split Trigger, the Common Stock is not listed on a national securities exchange, the Company shall effect a Reverse Split at a ratio of at least one-for-five (1:5) within five (5) calendar days following the Reverse Split Trigger. The Company shall not delay or defer implementation of the Reverse Split beyond such five (5) calendar day period. The Company shall effect such a Reverse Split upon any occurrence or successive occurrences of any Reverse Split Trigger, and any time a Reverse Split Trigger Occurs.

The Company represents and warrants that, as of the date hereof, the Board of Directors, and the requisite holders of the Company's outstanding voting securities, have duly approved a Reverse Split of a ratio in the range of one-for-five (1:5) up to and including one-for-two hundred fifty (1:250), which may be effected, if at all, within twelve (12) months such approval has been gained, and which may be effected in one or more Reverse Splits, with the final ratio or ratios to be determined by the Board in its sole discretion, subject only to implementation by the Board of Directors, and that all corporate and stockholder actions necessary to effect the Reverse Split have been completed, and to amend the Company's certificate of incorporation or other charter documents as necessary to effect any such Reverse Split(s) (the "**Initial Reverse Split Approvals**").

If the Reverse Split is not implemented after five (5) calendar days, or if the Company otherwise fails to comply with any part of this section 2.6(b) (a "**Reverse Split Failure Event**"), in addition to any other rights the Purchasers may have hereunder or under applicable law, on each such Reverse Split Failure Event and on each monthly anniversary of each such Reverse Split Failure Event (if the applicable Reverse Split Failure Event has not been cured by such date) until the applicable Reverse Split Failure Event is cured, the Company shall pay to each purchaser an amount in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to the product of 20.0% multiplied by the aggregate amount paid by such Purchaser pursuant to this Purchase Agreement. The Parties agree that the maximum aggregate liquidated damages payable to a Purchaser under this Section 2.6(b) shall be 35.0% of the aggregate amount paid by such Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement. If the Company fails to pay any partial liquidated damages pursuant to this Section in full within seven (7) days after the date payable, the Company will pay interest thereon at a rate of 12.0% per annum (or such lesser maximum amount that is permitted to be paid by applicable law) to the Purchaser, accruing daily from the date such partial liquidated damages are due until such amounts, plus all such interest thereon, are paid in full. The partial liquidated damages pursuant to the terms hereof shall apply on a daily pro rata basis for any portion of a month prior to the cure of a breach of this provision.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7. **<u>Amendment to Section 2.6(c) of the Purchase Agreement</u>**. Section 2.5(c) of the Purchase Agreement shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) If, at the time of a Reverse Split Trigger, the Common Stock is listed or approved for listing on a national securities exchange, the Company shall effect a Reverse Split at a ratio within a range of not less than one-for-five (1:5) and not more than one-for-two-hundred-fifty (1:250) within five (5) calendar days following the Reverse Split Trigger. The Company represents and warrants that, as of the date hereof, it has obtained the Initial Reverse Split Approvals. The Company shall not delay or defer implementation of the Reverse Split beyond such five (5) calendar day period. The Company shall effect such a Reverse Split upon any occurrence or successive occurrences of any Reverse Split Trigger and any time a Reverse Split Trigger Occurs.

If for any reason the Company cannot effect a Reverse Split pursuant to the Initial Reverse Split Approval, the Company shall, within two (2) calendar days of being notified of same: (i) publicly announce its intention to effect a Reverse Split of its outstanding Common Stock; and (ii) file with the SEC a preliminary proxy statement on Schedule 14A (or information statement on Schedule 14C) and take all other actions required under the Exchange Act and the listing rules of the Principal Market to call and hold a special meeting of stockholders to approve a Reverse Split. The proposal to be submitted to the stockholders (the "Supplemental Reverse Split Approval") shall authorize the Board of Directors, in its discretion, at any time within twelve (12) months of stockholder approval, to effect one or more Reverse Splits of all outstanding shares of Common Stock at a ratio or ratios ranging from one-for-five (1:5) up to an aggregate maximum of one-for-two hundred fifty (1:250), with the final ratio or ratios to be determined by the Board in its sole discretion, and to amend the Company's certificate of incorporation or other charter documents as necessary to effect any such Reverse Split(s); provided, however, that nothing herein shall be deemed to permit the Company to effect multiple reverse stock splits in a manner that would result in the Company becoming ineligible for an additional compliance period under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(iv) or any successor rule. The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to hold such special meeting and obtain Stockholder Approval as promptly as practicable following the Reverse Split Trigger, but in no event later than sixty (60) calendar days thereafter, subject to extension for such period as may be reasonably necessary to resolve any comments from the SEC on the Company's proxy information statement. If the Company seeks stockholder approval by written consent and files an information statement on Schedule 14C, it shall use reasonable best efforts to file and mail such information statement and to cause the Supplemental Reverse Split Approval to become effective within such timeframe, subject to compliance with the twenty (20) calendar day waiting period required by Rule 14c-2 under the Exchange Act.

Should the Company fail to comply with any part of this Section 2.6(c) (a "**Reverse Split Failure Event**"), in addition to any other rights the Purchasers may have hereunder or under applicable law, on each such Reverse Split Failure Event and on each monthly anniversary of each such Reverse Split Failure Event (if the applicable Reverse Split Failure Event has not been cured by such date) until the applicable Reverse Split Failure Event is cured, the Company shall pay to each purchaser an amount in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to the product of 20.0% multiplied by the aggregate amount paid by such Purchaser pursuant to this Purchase Agreement. The Parties agree that the maximum aggregate liquidated damages payable to a Purchaser under this Section 2.6(c) shall be 35.0% of the aggregate amount paid by such Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement. If the Company fails to pay any partial liquidated damages pursuant to this Section in full within seven (7) days after the date payable, the Company will pay interest thereon at a rate of 12.0% per annum (or such lesser maximum amount that is permitted to be paid by applicable law) to the Purchaser, accruing daily from the date such partial liquidated damages are due until such amounts, plus all such interest thereon, are paid in full. The partial liquidated damages pursuant to the terms hereof shall apply on a daily pro rata basis for any portion of a month prior to the cure of a breach of this provision.

**Digital Brands Group Amends Series D PIPE Financing to Provide for Additional $1.5 Million Investment**

**Austin, TX, September 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE)** – **Digital Brands Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: DBGI) ("DBG" or the "Company")**, a publicly traded company specializing in eCommerce and Fashion, today announced that it has amended its previously reported private investment in public equity financing (the "PIPE Financing") to provide for an additional investment of approximately $1,500,000, before deducting offering fees and expenses.

As previously reported by the Company, on August 8, 2025 the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") in connection with the PIPE Financing providing for the sale and issuance of up to 14,031.25 shares of its Series D Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series D Preferred Stock") to accredited investors (the "Initial Investors"), which shares are convertible into shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the "Common Stock"), subject to beneficial ownership limitations set by the Investors, at a conversion price equal to 80% of the lowest closing price of the Common Stock for each of the five trading days immediately prior to such conversion. The initial closing under the Purchase Agreement occurred on August 13, 2025 (the "Initial Closing").

On September 23, 2025, the Company and the Initial Investors in the PIPE Financing agreed to amend the Purchase Agreement (the "Amendment") to provide for, among other things, the Company's sale and issuance of an additional 1,875shares of Series D Preferred Stock (the "Additional Series D Shares") in the PIPE Financing to an additional accredited investor (the "Additional Investor" and together with the Initial Investors, the "PIPE Investors"). The aggregate cash purchase price paid for the Series D Preferred Stock is $1,500,000, having a stated value of $2,156,250.

The additional Series D Shares are subject to the same conversion terms as the shares of Series D Preferred Stock issued at the Initial Closing. The Company currently anticipates closing on the sale and issuance of the Additional Series D Shares on or about September 26, 2025 (the "Second Closing"), which Second Closing is subject to customary closing conditions for similar transactions. Pursuant to the Amendment, the Company and Initial Investors also agreed to amend the Registration Rights Agreement entered into at the Initial Closing to set the Company's deadline to file the resale registration statement covering the resale of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock as December 1, 2025.

RBW Capital Partners LLC (a division of Dawson James Securities, Inc,) acted as the placement agent in connection with the PIPE Financing.

The securities being offered and sold by the Company in the PIPE Financing have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") or an applicable exemption from such registration requirements. The securities were offered only to accredited investors. The Company has agreed to file one or more registration statements with the SEC covering the resale of the unregistered shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock.

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy these securities, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.
