Equity Offerings | Note 5 Equity Offerings Common Stock Common shares are voting and are entitled to dividends as declared at the discretion of the Board of Directors (the “Board”). Preferred Stock The Company’s Board has the authority to issue preferred stock in one or more series and to fix the rights, preferences, privileges, restrictions and the number of shares constituting any series of the designation of the series. Sales Agreement The Company entered into a Controlled Equity Offering Sales Agreement on July 6, 2018, which was amended and restated on May 1, 2020 (the “Sales Agreement”) with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. and SVB Leerink LLC (together the “Sales Agents”), pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell shares of common stock registered under an effective registration statement from time to time through the Sales Agents (the “Offering”). Upon delivery of a placement notice based on the Company’s instructions and subject to the terms and conditions of the Sales Agreement, the Sales Agents may sell the Shares by methods deemed to be an “at the market offering” offering, in negotiated transactions at market prices prevailing at the time of sale or at prices related to such prevailing market prices, or by any other method permitted by law, including negotiated transactions, subject to the prior written consent of the Company. The Company is not obligated to make any sales of Shares under the Sales Agreement. The Company or Sales Agents may suspend or terminate the offering of Shares upon notice to the other party, subject to certain conditions. The Sales Agents will act as agent on a commercially reasonable efforts basis consistent with their normal trading and sales practices and applicable state and federal law, rules and regulations and the rules of Nasdaq. The Company has agreed to pay the Sales Agents commissions for their services of up to 3.0% of the gross proceeds from the sale of the Shares pursuant to the Sales Agreement. The Company also agreed to provide the Sales Agents with customary indemnification and contribution rights. During the nine months ended June 30, 2023, no shares were sold pursuant to the Offering. During the nine months ended June 30, 2022, 1,623,566 shares were sold for gross proceeds of $20,982,148 (net proceeds of $20,258,981). At June 30, 2023, an amount of $142,407,882 (September 30, 2022: $142,407,882) was registered pursuant to an effective registration statement and remained available to be sold under the Sales Agreement. Purchase Agreement On February 3, 2023, the Company entered into a $150,000,000 purchase agreement (the “2023 Purchase Agreement”) with Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC (“Lincoln Park”), pursuant to which the Company has the right to sell and issue to Lincoln Park, and Lincoln Park is obligated to purchase, up to $150,000,000 in value of its shares of common stock from time to time over a three-year period until February 3, 2026. In consideration for entering into the Purchase Agreement, the Company issued to Lincoln Park 75,000 shares of common stock as a commitment fee (the “initial commitment shares”) and agreed to issue up to an additional 75,000 shares pro rata, when and if, Lincoln Park purchased, at the Company’s discretion, the $150,000,000 aggregate commitment. The Company determined the fair value of the initial commitment shares was $844,500 with reference to the closing price of the Company’s shares on the Purchase Agreement date. In addition, the Company incurred third party expenses of $119,844 in connection with entering into the Purchase Agreement. These amounts were expensed to other financing expense on the statement of operations during the nine months ended June 30, 2023.
