Please respond to this letter by amending your registration statement and providing
the requested information. If you do not believe a comment applies to your facts and

Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed July 16, 2025
Cover Page
1.We note that you are seeking to register the primary offering of 300,000,000 shares of
common stock to be issued and sold pursuant to the equity purchase facility
agreement by and between the company and an unrelated third party accredited
investor. We note also your disclosure on page 4 and in Exhibits 10.63 and 10.64 that
contemplates the resale of securities by the investor. In this regard, it is unclear why
you are not seeking to register the resale of the shares of common stock on behalf of
the equity line investor. Please either (1) explain why the primary issuance of these
securities is appropriate, consistent with SAS C&DI 134.03 or (2) revise to register
the resale of such securities and provide the disclosure described in SAS C&DI
139.13.

Risk Factors, page 10
2.Please expand the disclosure in this section to highlight the risks related to reverse
stock splits. In this regard, we note the disclosure on page 32 of your DEF14A filed
on July 10, 2025 about the risks of the proposed reverse splits and the disclosure in
your Form 8-K filed on July 23, 2025 that shareholders approved the reverse stock
split proposal.
3.We note your disclosure about the equity purchase facility agreement in the second
and third paragraphs on page 23. Please revise to expand your disclosure in risk
factors to address:
•the risks associated with the investor paying less than the prevailing market price
for your common stock;
•that the ownership interest of current shareholders may be diluted by you selling
shares to the investor pursuant to the equity purchase facility agreement;
•that the sale of 300 million shares registered under the equity purchase facility
agreement could decrease the market price of your common stock; and
•that you may not have access to full amount of $500 million available under the
equity purchase facility agreement.
Sales of a substantial number of shares of our securities, page 24
4.Please revise this risk factor to acknowledge that the issuance and sale of common
stock in this offering is likely to depress your stock price given the number of shares
you are registering for resale. Acknowledge in the risk factor on page 24 about the
minimum bid price requirement that depression of your stock price will make it more
difficult to maintain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement, increasing
the risk that your listing may not be sustained.

5.Please update the disclosure in this section. In this regard, we note the disclosure in
your DEF14A filed on July 10, 2025 about the reverse stock split proposal to regain
compliance and the disclosure in your Form 8-K filed on July 23, 2025 that the
proposal was approved.
