ATM Offering On October 10, 2018, the Company entered into an At-The-Market Issuance Sales Agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with Wilson-Davis & Co., Inc., as sales agent (the “Agent”) to sell shares of its common stock, having an aggregate offering price of up to $25,000,000 (the “Shares”) from time to time, through an “at the market offering” program (the “WDCO ATM Offering”). During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company had received gross proceeds of $4,656,051 through the sale of 119,791 shares of the Company’s common stock through the WDCO ATM Offering. The offer and sale of the shares through the WDCO ATM Offering were made pursuant to our then effective “shelf” registration statement on Form S-3 and an accompanying base prospectus contained therein (Registration Statement No. 333-222132) filed with the SEC on December 18, 2017, amended on January 8, 2018, and declared effective by the SEC on January 11, 2018, and a prospectus supplement related to the WDCO ATM Offering, dated October 15, 2018. Public Offering On March 29, 2019, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners (the “Underwriter”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell an aggregate of (a) 71,388 shares of its common stock (the “Shares”) together with warrants to purchase 71,388 shares of common stock (the “Common Warrants”) and (b) pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 317,500 shares of its common stock (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”) together with a number of Common Warrants to purchase 317,500 shares of common stock (the “Offering”). The Shares were sold to the purchasers at the public offering price of $17.60 per share (the “Offering Price”). The Common Warrants were sold at a public offering price of $0.40 per Common Warrant. The Pre-Funded Warrants were offered to each purchaser whose purchase of the Shares and the Common Warrant in the Offering would otherwise result in the purchaser, together with its affiliates and certain related parties, beneficially owning more than 4.99% (or, at the election of the purchaser, 9.99%) of the Company’s outstanding common stock immediately following the consummation of the Offering. The purchase price of each Pre-Funded Warrant equaled the Offering Price at which the Shares were sold to the public in the Offering, minus $0.40, and the exercise price of each Pre-Funded Warrant equaled $0.40 per share. In addition, the Company has also issued the Underwriter a warrant to purchase a maximum of 15,550 additional shares of common stock at an initial exercise price of $19.80 per share, with a term of five years (the “Underwriter Warrants”). The Common Warrants are exercisable at any time after the date of issuance at an exercise price of $0.45 per share. However, since the volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock on or after May 2, 2019, was less than $0.45 per share, the Common Warrant is exercisable by means of a cashless exercise such that the holder of the Common Warrant shall receive one common share for each warrant held. Upon issuance, the Common Warrants, Pre-Funded Warrants and Underwriter Warrants (the “Offering Warrants”) were recorded at fair value and classified as a liability due to the attributes of the warrants, which included both cash settlement features and registration obligations. Since the fair value of the Offering Warrants exceeded the proceeds from the Offering the Company recognized a loss on issuance of warrants of $1,763,481. The fair value of the Offering Warrants was re-measured at each financial reporting period and immediately before exercise, with any changes in fair value recorded as change in fair value of warrant liability in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. The fair value at issuance was calculated using a Black-Scholes option pricing model using a risk-free interest rate of 2.28%, an expected life of 5 years, expected dividends of zero and expected volatility of 87.51%. The Company received net proceeds from the Offering of $6,204,717, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses. The Company used the net proceeds from the Offering primarily for the repayment of debt. The Offering closed on April 2, 2019 and as of December 31, 2019, the Company had issued a total of 771,275 shares of its common stock, inclusive of shares issued pursuant to the exercise of 317,500 Pre-Funded Warrants and 382,387 shares issued pursuant to the cashless exercise of the Common Warrants. 2019 Ascendiant ATM Offering On August 6, 2019, the Company entered into an At-The-Market Issuance Sales Agreement with Ascendiant Capital Markets, LLC, as sales agent to sell shares of the Company’s common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $5,500,000 (the “ATM Offering”).
