COVID-19 Risk Factor

The Company is supplementing the risk factors previously disclosed in its most recent periodic reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 with the following risk factor:

Our financial and operating performance is adversely affected by the coronavirus pandemic.

The recent outbreak of a strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) in the U.S. has had an unfavorable impact on our business operations. Mandatory closures of businesses, imposed by the federal, state and local governments to control the spread of the virus has resulted in an extended closure of our headquarters and lab facility in Yonkers, New York, which implemented a 75% staff reduction on March 16, 2020 and closed entirely on March 23, 2020, disrupting the operations of our management, business and finance teams. If our headquarters and lab facility are not able to continue operations for an extended period, we cannot assure you that we will continue to have sufficient resources or liquidity to operate our business or that we will be able to continue to advance our technology for the production of highly-pure lithium, or continue our efforts to commercialize such technology. In addition, the COVID-19 outbreak has adversely affected the U.S. economy and financial markets, which may result in a long-term economic downturn that could negatively affect future demand for our technology or our ability to commercialize products based on that technology. The extent to which COVID-19 will impact our business and our consolidated financial results will depend on future developments which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted at the time of the filing of this Form 8-K, but is expected to result in a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
