On September 23, 2024, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with Aventis Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sanofi, a global healthcare and pharmaceutical company (together with Aventis Inc., “Sanofi”), pursuant to which the Company issued an aggregate of 70,601 shares of Series A non-voting convertible preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), each convertible into 100 shares of common stock, at an as-converted price of $3.8243 per common share, for gross proceeds of approximately $27.0 million, in a private placement (the “Series A Private Placement”).
