This

U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) in a letter addressed to Mr. Winston, dated December 2, 2024 (the
“Comment Letter”), with respect to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-3 (the “Registration
Statement”), filed with the SEC on November 13, 2024. The Company is concurrently submitting a first amendment to the Registration

For

1. We
note the selling securityholder may sell its securities using various methods, including
purchases by a broker-dealer as a principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account
and any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law. Please confirm your understanding
that the retention by the selling stockholder of an underwriter, or any entity that may act
as an underwriter, would constitute a material change to your plan of distribution requiring
a post-effective amendment. Refer to your undertaking provided pursuant to Item 512(a)(1)(iii)
of Regulation S-K.
Response:
In response the Staff’s comments, the Company confirms its understanding, consistent with the undertaking required by Item

General
3. We
note that you are seeking to register up to 350,000 shares of common stock that have not
yet been issued to the Selling Stockholder and that the shares of Series B Preferred Stock
issuable upon exercise of the warrant will automatically convert into shares of common stock
based on the lowest daily volume weighted average price of your common stock over a period
beginning on the trading day “after” you deliver the shares of common stock upon
such conversion to the Selling Stockholder. Please provide us with a detailed analysis explaining
why it is appropriate to register the resale of these shares at this time, including whether
the provisions of Section 4(e) of the Certificate of Designations protect the Selling Stockholder
from being truly at market risk. In your analysis, please consider the Commission’s
guidance set forth in Question 139.11 of the Securities Act Sections Compliance and Disclosure
Interpretations.
Response: In response
the Staff’s comments, the Company respectfully advises the Staff that it believes it is appropriate to register the resale of shares
of common stock issuable upon conversion of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock, based on the guidance provided by the Staff in Securities
Act Sections Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations, Question 139.11 (“Interpretation 139.11”). Interpretation 139.11
specifically addresses the purchase of convertible securities that convert into common stock at a price “based on the company’s
common stock trading price at the time of conversion,” and the registration for resale of the shares underlying the convertible
securities. Interpretation 139.11 states that “the investor must be irrevocably bound to purchase a set number of securities for
a set purchase price that is not based on market price or a fluctuating ratio, either at the time of effectiveness of the resale registration
statement or at any subsequent date. When a company attempts to register for resale shares of common stock underlying unissued, convertible
securities, the PIPE analysis applies to the convertible security, not to the underlying common stock.”
The
shares of common stock being registered for resale will be issuable upon conversion of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock. Ionic
pays the full purchase price for the shares of Series B Preferred Stock in cash upon acquisition, and such purchase price is set and
not based on a fluctuating market price or ratio. Ionic is subject to the full economic and market risks of its entire investment upon
acquisition of the Series B Preferred Stock. Ionic acquires the shares of Series B Preferred Stock with no assurance that a liquid market
will be available in which the underlying shares of common stock could be sold. Therefore, the conversion of the shares of Series B Preferred
Stock at the conversion rate pursuant to Section 4 of the Certificate of Designations, which conversion rate is based in part on the
market price of the common stock, is not at issue.
Furthermore, Section 4(bb) of
the Securities Purchase Agreement that must be read in connection with the Certificate of Designations and other transaction documents
limits Ionic’s sales to the greater of $25,000 per day or “an amount equal to 20% of greater of the (x) average daily trading
volume of the Common Stock as reported by Thompson Reuters per calendar month or (y) trading volume of the Common Stock as reported by
Thompson Reuters on such Trading Day. “Trading Day” means a day on which the Principal Market is open for trading for at
least six (6) hours.” So regardless of the pricing algorithm used, Ionic is very much at market risk given the limitations imposed
on its ability to sell stock that it is irrevocably bound to purchase.
