1. Business Description
Description of the Business

Local Bounti Corporation ("Local Bounti" or the "Company") was founded in August 2018 and is headquartered in Hamilton, Montana. The Company is a producer of sustainably grown living lettuce, herbs, and loose leaf lettuce. The Company is a controlled environment agriculture ("CEA") company that utilizes patent pending Stack & Flow TechnologyTM, which is a hybrid of vertical and hydroponic greenhouse farming, to grow healthy food sustainably and affordably. Through the Company's CEA process, its goal is to produce environmentally sustainable products in a manner that will increase harvest efficiency, limit water usage, and reduce the carbon footprint of the production and distribution process. The environmental greenhouse conditions help to ensure nutritional value and taste, and the Company's products are non-GMO and use significantly less pesticides and herbicides than traditional farming operations.

On April 4, 2022, the Company acquired California-based complementary indoor farming company Hollandia Produce Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Pete's Acquisition"), which operate under the name Pete’s ("Pete's"). Pete’s is a California-based indoor farming company with three greenhouse growing facilities, including two in California and one in Georgia. The Georgia facility became operational in July 2022. Pete’s has distribution to approximately 10,000 retail locations across 35 U.S. states and Canadian provinces, primarily through direct relationships with blue-chip retail customers, including Albertsons, Kroger, Target, Walmart, Whole Foods, and AmazonFresh. Pete’s primary products include living butter lettuce as well as packaged salad and cress. See Note 3, Acquisitions, for additional discussion of the Pete's Acquisition.

NewRecently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
There have been no new accounting pronouncements recentlyIn June 2016, the FASB issued or newly effectiveASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326), which amends the guidance on reporting credit losses for assets held at amortized cost and available for sale debt securities. For assets held at amortized cost, the amendment eliminates the probable initial recognition threshold in current U.S. GAAP and, instead, requires an entity to reflect its current estimate of all expected credit losses. The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that had or areis deducted from the amortized cost of the financial assets to present the net amount expected to be collected. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2023 using the modified retrospective method. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements apart from.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity, which simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liability and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. The standard reduces the number of models used to account for convertible instruments, removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception, and requires the if-converted method for calculation of diluted earnings per share for all convertible instruments. The standard is effective for the Company for fiscal years, and interim periods within those described infiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2023. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the Annualimpact of this standard on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

10.9. Net Loss Per Share

Net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding during the period. In computing net loss per share, the Company’sCompany's unvested restricted common stock and warrants are not considered participating securities. Diluted loss per common share is the same as basic loss per common share for all periods presented because the effects of potentially dilutive items were anti-dilutive given the Company’sCompany's net loss. Diluted net loss per common share adjusts basic net loss per share attributable to commonordinary stockholders to give effect to all potential commonordinary shares that were dilutive and outstanding during the period. For the three and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2023 and 2022, and 2021, no instrument was determined to have a dilutive effect under the treasury method.effect.

12.11. Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated subsequent events from September 30, 2022 through the date the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements were issued and identified the following:

Private PlacementReverse Stock Split Stockholder Approval

On October 21, 2022April 3, 2023, Local Bounti's board of directors authorized an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation to, at the discretion of Local Bounti’s board of directors, effect a reverse stock split of the shares of Local Bounti's common stock, at any time prior to June 30, 2024, at a ratio within a range of 1-for-2 to 1-for-25, with the exact ratio and effective time of the reverse stock split to be determined at the discretion of the board of directors without further approval or authorization of our stockholders. The amendment was approved by stockholders at a Special Meeting of Stockholders (the "Agreement Date""Special Meeting") held on April 26, 2023. If the Reverse Stock Split is effected, between every 2 to 25 outstanding shares of Common Stock would be combined and reclassified into one share of Common Stock. The Company will pay cash in lieu of fractional shares resulting from the Reverse Stock Split, if any.

Following approval of this proposal by our stockholders, the board of directors has the sole authority to elect whether or not and when to amend the Certificate of Incorporation to effect the Reverse Stock Split. As such, the actual timing for implementation of the Reverse Stock Split would be determined by the board of directors, in its sole discretion. The actual number of authorized shares of Common Stock after giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split, if and when effected, will depend on the Reverse Stock Split ratio that is ultimately determined by the board of directors.

Our vision is to deliver the freshest, locally grown produce over the fewest food miles possible.miles. We believe that happy plants make happy taste buds and we are committed to reimagining the standards of freshness. We also believe that local is the best kind of business, and we are committed to helping communities thrive for generations to come. We are committed to building empowered local teams. Together, we believe we are capable of extraordinary things.

Company Overview

Local Bounti is a controlled environment agriculture ("CEA") company that produces sustainably grown produce, focused today on living and loose leaf lettuce. Founded in 2018, and headquartered in Hamilton, Montana, Local Bounti utilizes its patent pending Stack & Flow TechnologyTM, which is a hybrid of vertical and hydroponic greenhouse farming,Technology™ to grow healthy food sustainably and affordably. ThroughOur proprietary process is a hybrid, utilizing vertical farming in early plant growth, followed by greenhouse farming for final grow out. We designed our CEA process, itStack & Flow Technology™ to give our products exactly what they need at every step of their growth cycle. Our goal is our goal to produce our productsgrow in an environmentally sustainable manner that will increasenot only increases harvest efficiency limitand enhances unit economics, but also limits water usage and reducereduces the carbon footprint of the production and distribution process. TheControlling the environmental greenhouse conditions helpin both the 'Stack' and 'Flow' components of our growing system helps to ensure nutritional valuehealthy, nutritious, consistent, and taste,delicious products that are non-genetically modified organisms ("non-GMO"). We use 90% less water, 90% less land, and our products are non-GMO and use significantly less pesticides and herbicides than traditional farmingoutdoor agriculture operations.
Our sustainable growing practices use 90% less landfirst CEA facility in Hamilton, Montana (the "Montana Facility") commenced construction in 2019 and 90% less waterreached full commercial operation by the second half of 2020. In 2021, we successfully completed the expansion of our Montana Facility, more than conventional farming methods.doubling our production capacity. Immediately after expansion, this facility was dedicated equally to commercial production and research and development that focused on new products, technology and system design. Today, the majority of the Montana Facility is dedicated to commercial production, but we continue to utilize dedicated space for research and development to improve our existing and future facilities.

On April 4, 2022, weLocal Bounti acquired Pete’s. Pete’s is a California-based indoorcomplementary greenhouse farming company with aHollandia Produce Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Pete's Acquisition"), which operate under the name Pete's ("Pete's"). Through the Pete's acquisition, we significantly increased our growing footprint, now operating three additional greenhouse growing facilities, including two in California and one in Georgia, the latter of which became operational in July 2022. We now have distribution to approximatelyover 10,000 retail locations across 35 U.S. states and Canadian provinces, primarily through direct relationships with blue-chip retail customers, including Albertsons, Sam's Club, Kroger, Target, Walmart, Whole Foods, and AmazonFresh. Pete's has three greenhouse growing facilities, including two in California and one in Georgia which became operational in July 2022. The new Georgia facility will provide additional capacity to meet existing demand fromToday, our retail customers. Pete’s primary products include living butterlettuce – where it isfor which we are a leading provider with an approximate 80% share of the CEA market within the Western U.S. – as well as packaged salad and cress. Pete’s has been
Local Bounti's founders are Craig M. Hurlbert and Travis M. Joyner, business partners with a track record of building and managing capital-intensive, commodity-based businesses in operation for over 50 years while focusing the last 25 yearsenergy, water, and industrial technology. After initially setting out to invest in leafy greensa CEA business, Craig and has long-standing relationshipsTravis could not find a suitable existing business or technology in which to invest. Instead, they took a clean sheet approach and began to build a business with the majority of its customers. We plan to installlong-term CEA leadership in mind and a focus on unit economics and sustainability. With this background, we created our patent pendinghigh-yield and low-cost Stack & Flow Technology™ at Pete’s facilities, combining the best aspects of vertical and greenhouse growing technologies to deliver higher yields of diverse leafy greens at superior unit economics..

We derive the majority of our revenue from the sale of produce. We grow and package fresh greens that are sold into existing markets and channels such as food retailers and food service distributors from our Montana facility and two California facilities, and beginning in the third quarter of 2022, from our new Georgia facility. Sales are recognized at a point in time when control of the goods is transferred to the customer.

We periodically offer sales incentives to our customers, including temporary price reductions. We anticipate that these promotional activities could impact sales and that changes in such activities could impact period-over-period results. Sales may also vary from period to period depending on the purchase orders we receive, the volume and mix of products sold and the channels through which our products are sold. In response to realized cost inflation, we have implemented contractually allowable price increases which we anticipate to benefit from in the fourth quarter of 20222023 and beyond.

We intend to increase our production capacity and expand our reach to new markets, new geographies, and new customers through either the building of new facilities or through the acquisition of existing greenhouse facilities

which we will update with our Stack & Flow Technology™. We conduct an ongoing build-versus-buy analysis whenever we decide to build a new facility or acquire an existing facility. We also expect to expand our product offering to new varieties of fresh greens, herbs, berries, and other produce. Additionally, we evaluate commercial opportunities as part of these expansion efforts on an ongoing basis.

In October 2022, we signed a five-year offtake agreement with Sam’sSam's Club for our leafy greens production starting at our greenhouse facility in Georgia. We continue to advance our expansion of the Georgia facility, which will double the existing footprint and further enhance capacity with the addition of our Stack & Flow TechnologyTM to meet pent up demand for Local Bounti packaged salads to current customers and open the opportunity to earn new business in that region.

Commercial Facility Expansion Update

Byron, Georgia Facility Progress - "Stack" Integration on Track for Fourth Quarter Completion

Construction of the greenhouse Phase 1-B was completed early in the second quarter and seeding began in April 2023. As part of our Stack & Flow TechnologyTM implementation, we completed our first "Stack" zone in the fourth quarter of 2022, with the remaining Stack zones that comprise Phase 1-C to be completed early in the fourth quarter 2023. Our Stack & Flow TechnologyTM is expected to add approximately 40% of incremental revenue generating capacity to the finished Georgia facility, which will be comprised of six acres of greenhouses and multiple climate, water, and spectral controlled Stack zones.

Mount Pleasant, Texas Facility Progress

In early January 2023, we started construction of the six-acre facility and have since completed the pad and foundations. The addition of the new facility in northeast Texas is expected to fortify our distribution in markets across Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas, Kansas, and Missouri. Further, the facility is designed to provide additional capacity to meet existing demand from our direct relationships with blue-chip retailers and distributors throughout the region. The facility is expected to commence operations in the fourth quarter of 2023.

Pasco, Washington Facility Progress

The Pasco, Washington facility continues to progress with anticipated completion in the third quarter of 2023. Thispad and foundation work now complete. The facility will be comprised of multiple stack zones and three acres of greenhouse.

We selected Mount Pleasant, Texas asgreenhouse that will be supported by multiple Stack zones. The facility will help bolster our distribution capabilities in the site for our next facility. This location was selected based on customer demandPacific Northwest and proximity to existing customers' distribution networks. We are working through the closing process for the parcel, which is expected to be completed towardcommence operations early in the endfirst quarter 2024, which reflects our decision to stagger construction to accommodate the commissioning of November 2022, with construction activities beginning shortly thereafter. Theour Texas facility will be comprised of a six-acre greenhouse facility and multiple stack zones. We anticipate the facility will be operational in the fourth quarter of 2023.

Recent Developments

Environmental, SocialOn March 28, 2023, we entered into the Sixth Amendment to the Original Credit Agreements with Cargill Financial to expand the Facilities from $170 million to up to $280 million (plus, in each case, interest and Governance

Conventional agriculture has been feedingfees paid in kind) per the world for hundredsterms and conditions of years, yet given the negative impacts of climate change, it is now strugglingagreement, including capital to keep pace. Add to that the COVID–19 pandemic, the war in Ukraine and its impact on not only food supply but also the cost of fertilizer and other inputs used in traditional agriculture, an already stressed food supply system is experiencing even more pressure. Sustainability has emerged as a global imperative, and when it comes to agriculture, it is clear we must find ways to do better. We believe growing healthy vegetables is good business, and our growing technology delivers clean produce with safer growing methods, which we believe benefits all stakeholders and differentiates us from traditional agriculture. We expect that consumer demand for clean, nutritious, locally grown, and high-quality products will increase over time.

Our compact, efficient, and local farms provide fresh produce with minimum transportation distances. Combined with our advanced technologies, the locationfund construction of our facilities in less developed communitiesGeorgia, Texas, and areasWashington, subject to certain conditions. In consideration for the improved flexibility and the expanded size of the Facilities, we issued Cargill Financial 69.6 million warrants with available supporting resources such as adequate water and renewable energy, we believe Local Bounti has the potential to be among the most sustainable produce suppliers in the nation.a per share exercise price of $1.00 per share that expire on March 28, 2028.

The Lease provides for a 25-year term with separate renewal terms of five years each. If we exercise all of the extension options, the Lease will expire on our key environmental, social and governance ("ESG") programs, goals and commitments, and key metrics can be found in our 2021 sustainability report, which is available on our website.

The following sections discuss and analyze the changes in the significant line items in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the comparative periods in the table above.

Sales

Sale of Produce

We derive the majority of our revenue from the sale of produce.produce grown at our facilities. In response to realized cost inflation, we have implemented contractually allowable price increases which we anticipate to benefit from in the fourth quarter of 20222023 and beyond.

Sale of produceSales increased by $6,126 thousand to $6,285 thousand$6.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022March 31, 2023, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021. Sales of produce increased by $12,512 thousand to $12,836 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021.March 31, 2022. The increase for both periods was due primarily to the acquisition of Pete's at the beginning of April 2022, which added more than 10,000 retail locations nationwide.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold consists primarily of costs related to growing produce at our greenhouse facilities, including labor costs, which include wages, salaries, benefits, and stock-based compensation, seeds, soil, nutrients and other input supplies, packaging materials, depreciation, stock-based compensation,utilities and utilities.other manufacturing overhead. We expect that, over time, cost of goods sold will decrease as a percentage of sales, as a result of scaling our business.

Cost of goods sold increased by $4,860 thousand$6.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022March 31, 2023, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, due primarily to proportionate increases in productincreased sales during the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared toMarch 31, 2023 driven by the three months ended September 30, 2021.

Costacquisition of goods sold increased by $11,254 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021, mostly due to proportionate increases in product sales during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Cost of goods sold also increased in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 due to the fair value step-up to expected selling price of acquired inventory from the April 2022 Pete's Acquisition. This acquired inventory was subsequently sold during the second quarter at the stepped-up value or at a zero margin, which negatively impacted year-to-date gross margin by $1,042 or 8.1%. Additionally, cost of goods sold was negatively impacted for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 due to temporary supply chain challenges with suppliers at our California facilities during the second quarter, which resulted in higher costs to fill orders. These temporary supply chain challenges have since been resolved.Pete's.

Research and development expenses consist primarily of compensation to employees engaged in research and development activities, includingwhich include salaries, benefits, and stock-based compensation, and related benefits, overhead (including depreciation, utilities and other related allocated expenses), and supplies and services related to the development of our growing processes. Our research and development efforts are focused on the development of our processes utilizing our CEA facility,facilities, increasing production yields, developing new leafy green SKUs and value-added products such as grab-and-go salads, and exploring new crops, including berries. We focus our research and development efforts on areas that we believe will generate future revenue and grow our intellectual property portfolio across process improvements, genetics, computer, vision, artificial intelligence, and process controls.

Due to our ongoing research and development, we are currently generating approximately 26 crop turns annually for our commercial loose-leaf lettuce, which compares to approximately 17 to 22 turns annually as of December 31, 2021. We expect that, over the long term, research and development will decrease as a percentage of sales, as a result of the establishment of our growing process.

Research and development costs increased by $1,601 thousand$1.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022March 31, 2023, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021. Research and development costs increased by $6,360 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021.March 31, 2022. The increase for both periods was due to increased investment in personnel, materials, supplies, and facility capacity as we continue to expand our product offering and refine our growing process. We incurred costs for research and development of our production, harvesting, and post-harvest packaging techniques and processes, as well as production surplus costs related to the development and testing of our production process.processes.

Convertible Notes Fair Value Adjustment

During 2021, we entered into a series of identical convertible long-term notes with various parties with a face value of $26,050 thousand that bore interest at 8% with a maturity date of February 8, 2023 (the "Convertible Notes"). All Convertible Notes were converted into shares of common stock in connection with the business combination of Local Bounti and Leo Holdings III Corp on November 19, 2021.

Prior to the conversion of the Convertible Notes into shares of common stock, we measured Convertible Notes at fair value based on significant inputs not observable in the market, resulting in these Convertible Notes being classified as Level 3 measurements within the fair value hierarchy. Changes in the fair value of Convertible Notes related to updated assumptions and estimates were recognized as a Convertible Notes fair value adjustment within the results of operations.

There was no Convertible Notes fair value adjustment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 as all the Convertible Notes were converted into shares of common stock in connection with the business combination of Local Bounti and Leo Holdings III Corp on November 19, 2021.

Additional interest expense of $932 thousand was incurred from amortization of loan origination fees for the loans with Cargill Financial. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in interest expense of $491 thousand related to a $10,000 thousand term loan with Cargill Financial that was paid off in September 2021 and a decrease in interest expense of $525 thousand related to our Convertible Notes which were converted into shares of common stock in connection with the business combination of Local Bounti and Leo Holdings III Corp on November 19, 2021.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have incurred losses and generated negative cash flows from operations since our inception. At September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, we had an accumulated deficit of $152,781 thousand$202.8 million and cash of $23,981 thousand comprised of $4,227 cash and cash equivalents and $19,754 restricted cash and cash equivalents used to service our debt with Cargill Financial. On October 21, 2021, we entered into an agreement to issue 9,320,000 shares of Common Stock at a purchase price of $2.50 per share. The gross proceeds to the Company from the sale of these shares was approximately $23.3$7.5 million. See Note 12, Subsequent Events, to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

As of September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, the principal amountsamount due under our credit facilities with Cargill Financial totaled $135.6$168.3 million, none of which is classified as current. Availability for reimbursement of construction costs under the credit facility is limited up to 75% of construction costs with the remaining 25% of such costs financed internally from operating cash flow and/or with Local Bounti capital. These debt agreements contain various financial and non-financial covenants and certain restrictions on our business, which include restrictions on additional indebtedness and material adverse effects, that could cause us to be at risk of default. A failure to comply with the covenants and other provisions of thisthese debt instrument,instruments, including any failure to make payments when required, would generally result in events of default under such instruments, which could result in the acceleration of a substantial portion of such indebtedness.

The CEA business is capital-intensive. Currently, our primary sources of liquidity are cash on hand, cash flows generated from the sale of our products, and a credit facility with Cargill Financial. Cash expenditures over the next 12 months are expected to include interest payments on debt obligations, general operating costs for employee wages and related benefits, outside services for legal, accounting, IT infrastructure, and costs associated with plantinggrowing, harvesting and harvesting,selling our products, such as the purchase of seeds, soil, nutrients and other growing supplies, shipping and fulfillment costs, and facility maintenance costs, and construction/expansion of our growing facilities.costs.

We believe that our current cash position, cash flow from operations, the proceeds from the sale leaseback transaction (see Note 11, Subsequent Events, in Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements) and the borrowing capacity of $34.4 million under our credit facility with Cargill Financial and equity financing as described above and in Noteare sufficient to fund our basic cash requirements for 12 Subsequent Events, tomonths from the date of issuance of the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are sufficientStatements. Also, while we believe the Cargill Financial credit facility, as most recently amended, provides adequate resources and flexibility to fund our cashplanned construction projects, our future capital requirements forand the next 12 months. We expect that weadequacy of available funds will need to accessdepend on many factors, including those set forth in Part I, Item 1A of the capital markets to finance future cash requirements, which may not occur timely orCompany's most recent Annual Report on satisfactory terms, if at all, and agree to burdensome covenants, grant further security interests in our assets or enter into equity arrangements on terms that are not favorable and dilutive to existing shareholders. Our failure to raise capital as and when needed could have significant negative consequences for our business, financial condition and results of consolidated operations.Form 10-K. In the event that our plans change, or our cash requirements are greater than we anticipate, we may need to curtail operations.

Cargill Loans

Subsequent to the amendments described in Note 6, Debt, Cargill Financial agreed to makemay in its discretion provide advances tounder the CompanyFacilities of up to $150.0$280.0 million (plus interest and fees paid in kind), including capital to fund construction at the Company’s facilities in Georgia, Texas, and Washington, subject to certain conditions. As of March 31, 2023, a total of $124.4 million and $50.0$43.8 million respectively.

The SubordinatedSenior Facility and the SeniorSubordinated Facility are included in "Long-term debt" on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures


Limitations on effectiveness of control and procedures

In designing and evaluation our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls relative to their costs.

23


Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Co-Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e). as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Remediation Plan

Management is continuing to implement the remediation plan as disclosed in "Part II. Item 9A. Controls and Procedures" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, to ensure that the deficiency contributing to the material weakness is remediated such that this control will operate effectively.

We believe that these actions, and the improvements we expect to achieve as a result, will effectively remediate the material weakness. However, the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting will not be considered remediated until management has concluded, through testing, that controls are designed effectively.reasonable assurance level.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Other than as described above,There were no changechanges in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f)) occurredAct) during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 that have materially affected, or isare reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
See Note 11,10, Commitments and Contingencies, to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding legal proceedings.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material updates to our risk factors included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021,2022, other than the following:

We cannot assure you that our proposed Reverse Stock Split will increase our stock price, marketability or our liquidity.

While we expect that the Reverse Stock Split, if implemented, will increase the market price of our Common Stock, it is possible that it will not. Some investors may view a reverse stock split negatively. We cannot assure you that, if implemented, our Common Stock will be more attractive to institutional or other long term investors or that it will attract brokers and investors who trade in lower priced stocks. Even if we implement the Reverse Stock Split, the market price and liquidity of our Common Stock may decrease due to other factors, including our future performance. The percentage market price decline as updated byan absolute number and as a percentage of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q foroverall market capitalization may be greater than would occur in the quarters ended March 31absence of the Reverse Stock Split. In addition, if the Reverse Stock Split is implemented, it will increase the number of our stockholders who own "odd lots" of fewer than 100 shares of Common Stock. Brokerage commission and June 30, 2022.other costs of transactions in odd lots are generally higher than the costs of transactions of more than 100 shares of Common Stock. Accordingly, the Reverse Stock Split may not achieve the desired results of increasing the stock price, marketability and liquidity of our Common Stock, which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

There were no unregistered sales of our equity securities during the period covered by this quarterly report thatwhich were not previously reported in a Current Report on Form 8-K.
