Also on March 1, 2023, the Compensation Committee awarded Joseph Frattaroli, the Company's Chief Financial Officer, options under the Plan to purchase 135,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock with an exercise price equal to $0.7390, the closing price of the Company's Common Stock on March 1, 2023, of which 45,000 shares are subject to performance vesting. The remainder of such options are subject to time vesting.

The number of shares of Common Stock eligible for performance vesting under such awards is determined by the accomplishment of certain performance milestones ("Performance Milestones") established by the Compensation Committee.
