Note 15 – At-the-Market Agreement

 

The Company previously maintained an Amended and Restated Equity Distribution Agreement (the “Prior ATM Agreement”) with Piper Sandler & Co. (“Piper Sandler”) and Clear Street, LLC (“Clear Street”), pursuant to which the Company could offer and sell shares of its common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $17,111,650 from time to time through Piper Sandler and Clear Street, acting as sales agents, under a prospectus supplement dated October 18, 2024. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had sold 151,675 shares of common stock under the Prior ATM Agreement, resulting in net proceeds to the Company of $1,660,805. The Prior ATM Agreement was subsequently terminated, and no further sales will be made under that program.

 

On October 20, 2025, the Company entered into a new Equity Distribution Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Maxim Group LLC (“Maxim”) to establish an at-the-market (“ATM”) equity offering program. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company may offer and sell shares of its common stock, par value $0.001 per share, having an aggregate offering price of up to $10,000,000, from time to time through Maxim, acting as the Company’s sales agent. Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company will pay Maxim a commission equal to 3.0% of the gross proceeds from the sale of any shares and will reimburse Maxim for certain legal and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with its services. Sales of common stock, if any, may be made in transactions deemed to be “at-the-market” offerings as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, including sales made by means of ordinary brokers’ transactions on The Nasdaq Capital Market or otherwise at market prices prevailing at the time of sale or at prices negotiated with Maxim. The Company is not obligated to sell any shares under the Agreement and may terminate the offering at any time in accordance with its terms. The shares will be issued pursuant to the Company’s shelf Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-270628), which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 6, 2023. On October 20, 2025, the Company filed a prospectus supplement with the SEC relating to the new ATM program, registering up to $4,086,645 of shares under the shelf registration statement. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had sold 31,667 shares of common stock under the Agreement, resulting in net proceeds to the Company of approximately $258,563.
