Item 4.

Purpose of the Transaction

On May 8, 2018, in connection with the Issuer’s formation, the Reporting Person purchased 11,552,562 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock for approximately $0.0007 per share, or an aggregate of $8,187.50. The Reporting Person used its working capital to purchase such shares of Common Stock.

On March 1, 2021, the Issuer granted a restricted stock award for 564,400 shares of Common Stock to each of Dr. Aklog and Mr. McGrath and a restricted stock award for 169,320 shares of Common Stock to Dr. Cox. The restricted stock awards vest in a single installment on March 1, 2023. The awards were granted as compensation for services rendered and to be rendered to the Issuer. Neither Drs. Aklog or Cox nor Mr. McGrath used any funds to purchase such shares.

On June 1, 2021, the Issuer issued to the Reporting Person a convertible promissory note (the “Convertible Note”) with face value principal of $22.4 million, in exchange for the cancellation of $22.4 million payable by the Issuer to the Reporting Person related to working capital advances and earned, but unpaid, management services fees. The Reporting Person used its working capital to make such advances to the Issuer. On October 13, 2021, immediately prior to the effectiveness of the registration statement for the Issuer’s IPO, the Reporting Person converted the $22.4 million principal amount of the Convertible Note into 15,803,200 shares of Common Stock at a conversion price of $1.42 per share.

On October 18, 2021, the Reporting Person purchased 571,428 shares of Common Stock in the Issuer’s IPO at a purchase price of $14.00 per share, or an aggregate of $8,000,000. The Reporting Person used its working capital to purchase such shares of Common Stock.

On October 18, 2021, the Issuer granted a restricted stock award for 84,660 shares of Common Stock to Mr. Sparks. The restricted stock awards vest in a single installment on October 18, 2023. The awards were granted as compensation for services rendered and to be rendered to the Issuer. Mr. Sparks did not use any funds to purchase such shares.

The Reporting Person is the parent company of the Issuer and, with its ownership of approximately 75.5% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, has the power to elect all of the directors of the Issuer and to control all matters that would require the vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Issuer. The Reporting Person or any of the Principals, respectively may acquire additional securities of the Issuer, and, subject to the agreements described below in Item 6, retain or sell all or a portion of the securities then held in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. Each of the Reporting Person and each of the Principals, respectively, intends to review its ownership of the Issuer on a continuing basis. Any actions the Reporting Person or any Principal might undertake with respect to the Common Stock may be made at any time and from time to time without prior notice and will be dependent upon the Reporting Person’s review of numerous factors, including, but not limited to: an ongoing evaluation of the Issuer’s business, financial condition, operations and prospects; price levels of the Issuer’s securities; general market, industry and economic conditions; the relative attractiveness of alternative business and investment opportunities; and other future developments relating to the Reporting Person and/or Principal(s) and the Issuer.

Other than as described above, and except in accordance with its role as the parent company of the Issuer, the Reporting Person and Principals do not currently have any plans or proposals that relate to, or would result in, any of the matters listed in Items 4(a)–(j) of Schedule 13D, although, depending on the factors discussed herein, the Reporting Persons may change their purpose or formulate different plans or proposals with respect thereto at any time.
