The shares were sold at varying prices, with the first batch going for a volume-weighted average price between $1.80 and $1.82, and the second batch between $1.69 and $1.77. These prices reflect a range of values for the stock at the time of the transactions.

These indirect holdings are noted with the stipulation that Kelly may be deemed the beneficial owner due to his managerial role, though he disclaims beneficial ownership except where he has a pecuniary interest.
