CAPITAL STOCK
 
In
February 2018,
we filed a shelf registration statement with the SEC allowing us to sell up to
$200,000,000
of our securities. This registration statement was declared effective by the SEC on
February 9, 2018.
We subsequently entered into a Sales Agreement with Cowen and Company, LLC, which we refer to as “Cowen,” relating to the sale of shares of our Class A common stock to be offered. In accordance with the terms of the Sales Agreement, we
may
offer and sell from time to time up to
$50,000,000
of shares of our Class A common stock through Cowen acting as our agent. Cowen is
not
required to sell any specific amount of securities, but will act as our sales agent using commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices, on mutually agreed terms between Cowen and us. The compensation to Cowen for sales of Class A common stock sold pursuant to the Sales Agreement will be an amount equal to
3%
of the gross proceeds of any shares of Class A common stock sold under the Sales Agreement. From
March 2018
through
August 20, 2019,
we sold through Cowen an aggregate of
2,141,452
shares of our Class A common stock under this “at the market” offering, resulting in gross proceeds to us of
$49,999,625.
For the period from
January 1,
through
August 20, 2019,
we sold through Cowen
942,223
shares of our Class A common stock under this at-the-market offering, resulting in gross proceeds to us of
$22,753,943
and net proceeds of
$22,059,015
after offering costs of
$694,928.
 
On
August 13, 2019,
we entered into a
second
Sales Agreement with Cowen, relating to the sale of additional shares of our Class A common stock to be offered. In accordance with the terms of the
second
Sales Agreement, we
may
offer and sell from time to time up to
$75,000,000
of shares of our Class A common stock through Cowen acting as our agent. Cowen is
not
required to sell any specific amount of securities, but will act as our sales agent using commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices, on mutually agreed terms between Cowen and us. The compensation to Cowen for sales of Class A common stock sold pursuant to the Sales Agreement will be an amount equal to
3%
of the gross proceeds of any shares of Class A common stock sold under the Sales Agreement. From
August 21, 2019
through
December 31, 2019,
we sold through Cowen
448,880
shares of our Class A common stock under the
second
“at the market” offering, resulting in gross proceeds to us of
$9,450,789
and net proceeds of
$9,122,227,
after offering costs of
$328,562.
During the 
first
 quarter of fiscal 
2020,
we did
not
sell any shares of our Class A common stock under the new "at the market" offering. Subsequent to 
March 31, 2020,
we have sold under the new "at the market" offering
40,455
 shares of our Class A common stock for gross proceeds of
$669,751.
 
On
March 18, 2020,
our Board of Directors authorized and approved a share repurchase program for us to repurchase up to
$20,000,000
worth of shares of our Class A common stock, which we refer to as the “Repurchase Program.” Under the Repurchase Program, we
may 
repurchase shares, from time to time, in solicited or unsolicited transactions in the open market, privately-negotiated transactions, or transactions pursuant to a Rule
10b5
-
1
plan. The Repurchase Program does
not
obligate us to purchase any particular number of shares and will run through the earlier of
June 30, 2021,
or our decision that the Repurchase Program is
no
longer consistent with our short-term and long-term objectives. We have
not
repurchased any shares during fiscal year
2020.
 
Our Board of Directors also authorized us to enter into written trading plans under Rule
10b5
-
1
of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934,
which we refer to as the “Exchange Act.” Adopting a trading plan that satisfies the conditions of Rule
10b5
-
1
allows a company to repurchase its shares at times when it might otherwise be prevented from doing so due to self-imposed trading blackout periods or pursuant to insider trading laws. Under any Rule
10b5
-
1
trading plan, our
third
-party broker, subject to Securities and Exchange Commission regulations regarding certain price, market, volume and timing constraints, would have authority to purchase our Class A common stock in accordance with the terms of the plan. We
may
from time to time, enter into Rule
10b5
-
1
trading plans to facilitate the repurchase of our Class A common shares pursuant to our Repurchase Program.
