| Item 4. | Purpose of Transaction |
| | The Shares acquired by the Reporting Persons were acquired for the purpose of making an investment in the Issuer and not with the intention of acquiring control of the Issuer's business on behalf of the Reporting Persons' respective advisory clients.
The Reporting Persons from time to time intend to review their investment in the Issuer on the basis of various factors, including the Issuer's business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects, general economic and industry conditions, the securities markets in general and those for the Issuer's Shares in particular, as well as other developments and other investment opportunities. Based upon such review, the Reporting Persons will take such actions in the future as the Reporting Persons may deem appropriate in light of the circumstances existing from time to time. If the Reporting Persons believe that further investment in the Issuer is attractive, whether because of the market price of Shares or otherwise, they may acquire Shares or other securities of the Issuer either in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. Similarly, depending on market and other factors, the Reporting Persons may determine to dispose of some or all of the Shares currently owned by the Reporting Persons or otherwise acquired by the Reporting Persons either in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions.
Except as set forth in this Schedule 13D, the Reporting Persons have not formulated any plans or proposals which relate to or would result in: (a) the acquisition by any person of additional securities of the Issuer or the disposition of securities of the Issuer, (b) an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries, (c) a sale or transfer of a material amount of the assets of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries, (d) any change in the present Board of Directors or management of the Issuer, including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the board, (e) any material change in the Issuer's capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer, (f) any other material change in the Issuer's business or corporate structure, (g) any change in the Issuer's charter or bylaws or other instrument corresponding thereto or other action which may impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person, (h) causing a class of the Issuer's securities to be deregistered or delisted from a national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association, (i) a class of equity securities of the Issuer becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Act or (j) any action similar to any of those enumerated above. |

Investors' Rights Agreement
In addition, OPI VIII, OAP IV, and certain other stockholders of the Issuer entered into an Amended and Restated Investors' Rights Agreement with the Issuer (the "Investors' Rights Agreement"), dated as of December 16, 2022. Pursuant to the Investors' Rights Agreement and subject to the terms and conditions therein, the parties agreed that:
Demand Registration Rights
At any time beginning 180 days following the effective date of the registration statement of the IPO, the holders of at least a majority of the Issuer's registrable securities may request that the Issuer file a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") on a Form S-1 at the Issuer's expense, subject to certain exceptions, with an anticipated aggregate offering price, net of offering expenses, of more than $20 million, in which case the Issuer will be required to effect the registration as soon as practicable, and in any event within 60 days after the date of such registration request. The Issuer is not obligated to effect more than two of these registrations.
Form S-3 Registration Rights
At any time after the Issuer is qualified to file a registration statement on Form S-3 under the Securities Act, and subject to limitations and conditions specified in the Investors' Rights Agreement, holders of at least 10% of the registrable securities under the Investors' Rights Agreement may request that the Issuer prepare and file a registration statement on Form S-3 at the Issuer's expense covering the Shares of such holders having an anticipated aggregate offering price, net of offering expenses, of at least $5 million, in which case the Issuer will be required to effect the registration as soon as practicable, and in any event within 45 days after receiving such request. If the Issuer determines that it would be detrimental to the Issuer and its stockholders to effect a requested registration, the Issuer may postpone each such registration for a period of up to 60 days; provided that the Issuer may neither invoke this right more than once in any 12-month period nor effect a registration for its own account or any other stockholder during such 60-day period.
Piggyback Registration Rights
Whenever the Issuer proposes to file a registration statement under the Securities Act, other than with respect to certain excluded registrations, OPI VIII and OAP IV will each be entitled to notice of the registration and have the right, subject to limitations that the underwriters may impose on the number of Shares included in the registration, to include the Shares held by them in the registration.
