Preliminary Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A General

1. We note your references in your preliminary proxy statement to an "alternative cashless exercise" feature in the Series B Warrants. The term "cashless exercise" is generally understood to allow a warrant holder to exercise a warrant without paying cash for the exercise price and reducing the number of shares receivable by the holder by an amount equal in value to the aggregate exercise price the holder would otherwise pay to exercise the warrant(s). In cashless exercises, it is expected that the warrant holder receives fewer shares than they would if they opted to pay the exercise price in cash. Please clarify your disclosure throughout by revising the references to "alternative cashless exercise" and exclusively using the term "zero exercise price" or another appropriate term that conveys that, in addition to the company receiving no cash upon the "alternative cashless exercise," the warrant holders would be entitled to receive more shares than they would under the cash exercise terms. 2. We note your disclosure on page 20 that if stockholders approve the Issuance Proposal, assuming the full exercise of the Series Warrants at the floor price of March 13, 2025 Page 2

$0.0586, and assuming the Series B Warrants are exercised on an alternative cashless exercise basis, an aggregate of approximately 1,064,846,416.38 additional shares of common stock will be outstanding and the ownership interest of your existing stockholders would be correspondingly reduced. In each instance in your proxy statement where you describe Proposal 1, which is asking stockholders to approve the issuance of the common stock underlying such warrants, please clarify the total number of Series A and Series B warrants that were issued and the total number of common stock that may be issuable upon the exercise of those warrants, using the assumptions you disclose on page 20. We remind you that the company and its management are responsible for the accuracy and adequacy of their disclosures, notwithstanding any review, comments, action or absence of action by the staff.

Please contact Tim Buchmiller at 202-551-3635 or Suzanne Hayes at 202-551-3675 with any other questions.

Preliminary Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A
General

1. We note your references in your preliminary proxy statement to an
"alternative
 cashless exercise" feature in the Series B Warrants. The term "cashless
exercise" is
 generally understood to allow a warrant holder to exercise a warrant
without paying
 cash for the exercise price and reducing the number of shares receivable
by the holder
 by an amount equal in value to the aggregate exercise price the holder
would
 otherwise pay to exercise the warrant(s). In cashless exercises, it is
expected that the
 warrant holder receives fewer shares than they would if they opted to
pay the exercise
 price in cash. Please clarify your disclosure throughout by revising the
references to
 "alternative cashless exercise" and exclusively using the term "zero
exercise price" or
 another appropriate term that conveys that, in addition to the company
receiving no
 cash upon the "alternative cashless exercise," the warrant holders would
be entitled to
 receive more shares than they would under the cash exercise terms.
2. We note your disclosure on page 20 that if stockholders approve the
Issuance
 Proposal, assuming the full exercise of the Series Warrants at the floor
price of
 March 13, 2025
Page 2

 $0.0586, and assuming the Series B Warrants are exercised on an
alternative cashless
 exercise basis, an aggregate of approximately 1,064,846,416.38
additional shares of
 common stock will be outstanding and the ownership interest of your
existing
 stockholders would be correspondingly reduced. In each instance in your
proxy
 statement where you describe Proposal 1, which is asking stockholders to
approve the
 issuance of the common stock underlying such warrants, please clarify
the total
 number of Series A and Series B warrants that were issued and the total
number of
 common stock that may be issuable upon the exercise of those warrants,
using the
 assumptions you disclose on page 20.
 We remind you that the company and its management are responsible for
the accuracy
and adequacy of their disclosures, notwithstanding any review, comments, action
or absence
of action by the staff.
