On September 13, 2021, in connection with Mr. Almgren’s appointment as the Company’s Chief Strategist, Mr. Almgren was granted shares of restricted stock of the Company equal to 2% of the shares of common stock of the Company issued and outstanding on such date (the "Shares") as an inducement material to Mr. Almgren entering into employment with the Company.
