The CUSIP number for the Company’s Class A Common Stock will change to 45791E206 following the reverse stock split. The CUSIP number for the Company’s publicly traded warrants will not change.

The reverse stock split has no effect on the par value of the Company's Common Stock.

Immediately after the reverse stock split, each stockholder's percentage ownership interest in the Company and proportional voting power will remain unchanged, except for minor changes that will result from the treatment of fractional shares.
As of the Effective Time, proportional adjustments will also be made to the number of shares of Class A common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Company’s outstanding warrants and stock options and the number of shares issuable pursuant to outstanding restricted stock units, and the number of shares authorized and reserved for issuance pursuant to the Company’s equity incentive and employee stock purchase plans. The exercise prices and stock price targets of outstanding stock options, warrants, and equity awards will also be proportionately adjusted, as applicable. Accordingly, with respect to the Company’s publicly traded warrants trading under the symbol “ISPOW,” every 20 warrants outstanding immediately prior to the reverse stock split will be exercisable for one share of Class A common stock at an exercise price of
