| Item 4. | Ownership | |
| (a) | Amount beneficially owned:
3,137,091 (1)
(1) As of June 30, 2025, Castle Creek Capital Partners VII, LP ("Fund VII") is deemed to beneficially own 3,137,091 shares of the voting common stock of the Issuer ("Voting Common Stock"), which represents approximately 9.9%* of the Voting Common Stock issued and outstanding. Such number of shares of Voting Common Stock includes (i) the 2,508,929 shares of Voting Common Stock held by Fund VII and (ii) the maximum number of shares (i.e., 628,162 shares) of Voting Common Stock issuable to Fund VII and its affiliates upon conversion of the non-voting common stock of the Issuer ("Non-Voting Common Stock") held by Fund VII taking into consideration the 9.9% contractual and regulatory ownership cap to which Fund VII is subject (the "Ownership Cap"). Such number of shares of Voting Common Stock excludes (a) 2,676,869 shares of Non-Voting Common Stock held by Fund VII and (b) 120,000 depositary shares, each of which represents a 1/40th interest in a share of the Issuer's Series A Preferred Stock, held by Castle Creek Special Situations II, LP, an affiliate of the reporting persons. Since Fund VII does not presently, and will not within the next 60 days, have the right to acquire Voting Common Stock in respect of such Non-Voting Common Stock and/or such depositary shares (due in part to the Ownership Cap), those underlying shares are not included in the amount reported herein.
*This calculation is based 31,687,790 shares of Voting Common Stock of the Company outstanding, which was calculated based on (i) 31,059,628 shares of the issuer's common stock, which represents the Voting Common Stock portion of the 34,364,659 shares of total common stock (both Voting Common Stock and Non-Voting Common Stock), outstanding as of May 15, 2025, as reported in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on May 15, 2025, and (ii) increased by the 628,162 shares of Voting Common Stock that would be issued to Fund VII upon conversion of the maximum number of shares of Non-Voting Common Stock permitted in light of the Ownership Cap. | |
