ATM Facility

 

In August 2023, we entered into a sales agreement (“the 2023 ATM Facility”) with ThinkEquity LLC (“ThinkEquity”), which provides for the sale, in our sole discretion, of shares of our common stock through ThinkEquity, as our sales agent. In accordance with the terms of the ATM Sales Agreement, the Company may offer and sell shares of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share, having an aggregate offering price of up to $4,375,000. The issuance and sale of these shares by us pursuant to the 2023 ATM Facility are deemed “at the market” offerings as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and are registered under the Securities Act. We pay a commission of up to 2.5% of gross sales proceeds of any common stock sold under the 2023 ATM Facility.

 

Due to the expiration of the registration statement that was used for the 2023 ATM Facility, and due to the disqualification of our prior auditors from appearing or practicing before the SEC, no additional securities may be sold under 2023 ATM Facility.  

 

Public Offering

 

In December 2023, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement with ThinkEquity LLC, as representative of the underwriters, pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell to the underwriters in a firm commitment underwritten public offering (the “Offering”) an aggregate of 16,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), at a public offering price of $0.50 per share. The Company also granted the underwriters a 45-day option to purchase up to an additional 2,400,000 shares of Common Stock to cover over-allotments. 

  

The Offering closed on December 11, 2023, resulting in the issuance of 18,400,000 shares of Common Stock which generated gross proceeds of $9,200,000. Net proceeds to the Company from the Offering, after deducting the underwriting discount, the underwriters’ fees and expenses and the Company’s estimated Offering expenses, were approximately $8,400,000.
