In connection with the commencement of separate “at the market” offering programs, on each of February 1, 2021 and March 26, 2021, which are referred to as the “February 2021 ATM Program” and the “March 2021 ATM Program,” respectively, and collectively as the “ATM Programs,” the Company entered into separate equity distribution agreements with certain sales agents pursuant to which the Company may issue and sell shares of its common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $500,000 under each of the February 2021 ATM Program and the March 2021 ATM Program, or a total of $1,000,000 under the ATM Programs.
During the twelve months ended December 31, 2021, the Company issued 62,049,131 shares of common stock under the ATM Programs for aggregate gross proceeds of $848,301 and net proceeds of $830,241 after commissions and other transaction costs. The proceeds from the sales under the ATM Programs were used to pay down the Company’s line of credit (See Note 11 – Bank and Other Notes Payable). As of December 31, 2023, $151,699 remained available to be sold under the March 2021 ATM Program. The February 2021 ATM Program was fully utilized as of June 30, 2021 and is no longer active. Actual future sales will depend upon a variety of factors including, but not limited to, market conditions, the trading price of the Company’s common stock and the Company’s capital needs. The Company has no obligation to sell the remaining shares available for sale under the ATM Programs.
