EXPLANATORY NOTE

The Company is filing this Registration Statement on Form S-8 to register 118,750 shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to the exercise of certain outstanding stock options originally granted under the ProKarma Incentive Plan and assumed by the Company in connection with the Merger.
Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated November 19, 2021, as amended by the First Amendment to Agreement and Plan of Merger dated December 20, 2021 (as amended, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, CNXC Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary (“Merger Sub”), ProKarma Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ProKarma”), and Carlyle Partners VI Holdings, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, as a representative of the security holders of ProKarma, on December 27, 2021, the Company acquired ProKarma through the merger of Merger Sub with and into ProKarma, with ProKarma surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”).
In connection with the Merger and pursuant to the Merger Agreement, certain options to acquire shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“ProKarma Common Stock”), of ProKarma (each, a “ProKarma Option”) that were outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”) were assumed by the Company. Each ProKarma Option assumed by the Company continues to have, and is subject to, the same terms and conditions of such option immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that (i) each ProKarma Option is exercisable for a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the product of the number of shares of ProKarma Common Stock that would have been issuable upon exercise of the ProKarma Option outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by a ratio equal to 0.2280 (the “Exchange Ratio), rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares of Common Stock, (ii) the per share exercise price for the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such ProKarma Option is equal to the quotient determined by dividing the per share exercise price for such ProKarma Option outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time by the Exchange Ratio, rounded up to the nearest whole cent, and (iii) all references to the “Company” in the ProKarma Incentive Plan and the stock option agreements will be references to the Company.

Item 4.  Description of Securities.
    Not applicable.
Item 5.  Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
    Not applicable.
Item 6.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
    Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law authorizes a court to award or a corporation’s board of directors to grant indemnification to directors and officers in terms sufficiently broad to permit such indemnification under certain circumstances for liabilities (including reimbursement for expenses incurred) arising under the Securities Act of 1933. Article VIII of the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (Exhibit 3.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on December 2, 2020) and Article VI of the Company’s Bylaws (Exhibit 3.2 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on December 2, 2020) provide for indemnification of the Company’s directors, officers, employees and other agents to the extent and under the circumstances permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law.
    The Company has entered into Indemnification Agreements (Form of Indemnification Agreement filed as Exhibit 10.4 to Amendment No. 1 to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form 10 filed on October 13, 2020) with its officers and directors that require the Company to, among other things, indemnify them against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors or officers to the fullest extent not prohibited by law.
Item 7.  Exemptions from Registration Claimed.
    Not applicable.

Item 8. Exhibits.

Item 9.  Undertakings.
(a)         The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1)         To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:



(i)    To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii)   To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment hereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration Statement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective Registration Statement; and
(iii)  To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this Registration Statement;
provided, however, that subparagraphs (i) and (ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.
(2)         That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3)         To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b)         The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement, if any, shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c)          Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
