Registration Statement on Form S-3 filed October 1, 2024 General 1. Please provide us with your analysis as to why the shares of common stock convertible from the preferred shares to be issued in the second and third closings are eligible to be registered at this time. See SAS C&DI Question 139.11. 2. If the transaction is treated as an indirect offering by the issuer, then please advise on your eligibility to use Form S-3. In that regard, we note that it appears that your public float is not sufficient to meet the Transaction Requirement in Instruction I.B.1 of Form S-3. Please advise or revise on a Form that you are eligible to use. October 17, 2024 Page 2 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. Refer to Rules 460 and 461 regarding requests for acceleration. Please allow adequate time for us to review any amendment prior to the requested effective date of the registration statement. Please contact Erin Donahue at 202-551-6063 or Asia Timmons-Pierce at 202-551- 3754 with any questions. Sincerely, Division of Corporation Finance Office of Manufacturing
