reflecting common stock ownership, preferred stock ownership, and total voting power.
Refer to Item 403 of Regulation S-K and Rule 13d-3(d)(i)(D).

of shares of common stock "exceeding" 19.99% of Camber's outstanding common stock
issuable upon conversion of the Camber Series A Preferred Stock and Camber Series H

stockholder approval for certain issuances of 20% or more of a listed company’s
