The Series A Preferred Stock may be issued in tranches of at least $500,000 and in an aggregate of up to $5 million. In connection with the Initial Tranche, the Company also issued to Ms. Walsh a warrant to purchase 12,756 shares of our common stock.

The fair value of the derivative liability at the issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock was $216,000, which was recorded as a derivative liability with the offset recorded as a discount to the Series A Preferred Stock.

On June 4, 2021, the Company and Lisa Walsh (the “Investor”) entered into an exchange agreement pursuant to which the Company exchanged with the Investor, all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, for 250,000 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase up to 187,500 shares of Common Stock.

Immediately following the exchange, the Company no longer had a derivative liability or any preferred stock outstanding.
