Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors;
Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain
Officers.
(a) On April 8, 2022, Daniel Menichella tendered his resignation from the
Company's Board of Directors (the "Board of Directors"), and all committees of
the Board of Directors on which he served. The decision to resign was not the
result of any disagreements with the Board of Directors or management of the
Company.
(b) On April 8, 2022, the employment of each of (i) Daniel Menichella, the
Company's principal executive officer and named executive officer, (ii) William
Duke, the Company's principal financial and accounting officer and named
executive officer, and (iii) Johan van Hykckama Vlieg, a named executive
officer, was terminated effective immediately in connection with the Company's

Item 8.01 Other Events.
On April 8, 2022, the Board of Directors, voted to immediately wind-down and
cease all of the Company's ongoing operations. In connection with cessation of
activities, the employment of all of the Company's remaining employees was
terminated effective immediately. As previously announced, the Company had
initiated a strategic process, in an attempt to maximize shareholder value and
engaged professional advisors, including an investment banker to act as a
strategic advisor in the process. Unfortunately the strategic process did not
result in the identification of any viable transactions, and given its limited
remaining resources, the Company cannot continue operations and believes that
the best alternative is an orderly wind-down process. The Company is evaluating
additional details regarding the wind-down, and will provide further information
when available.
