The Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on January 9, 2023, as amended and supplemented by Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons with the SEC on February 17, 2023 (together, the “Schedule”), is hereby amended and supplemented by the Reporting Persons as set forth below in this Amendment No. 2. This amendment is filed by the Reporting Persons in accordance with Rule 13d-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and refers only to information that has materially changed since the filing of the Schedule. The items identified below, or the particular paragraphs of such items which are identified below, are amended as set forth below. Unless otherwise indicated, all capitalized terms used and not defined herein have the respective meanings assigned to them in the Schedule.

The disclosure in Item 3 to the Schedule is hereby supplemented by adding the following at the end thereof:

On June 16, 2023, AI DMI purchased 204,081 pre-funded warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock at $0.0001 per share, which are exercisable at any time or times on or after the date of the issuance, subject to an ownership limitation and clearance under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, if applicable to avoid a violation thereof (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”), at a purchase price of $48.9999 per Pre-Funded Warrant pursuant to the prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b)(5) in a registered offering. AI DMI funded the purchase of such Pre-Funded Warrants using capital contributed from affiliated entities, which funded that capital using cash on hand.
