Securities Purchase Agreement

 

On October 4, 2022 the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with a certain institutional investor (the “Purchaser”). The Purchase Agreement provided for the sale and issuance by the Company of an aggregate of: (i) 920,000 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, $0.00001 par value (the “Common Stock”), (ii) pre-funded warrants (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”) to purchase up to 601,740 shares of Common Stock and (iii) warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants” and, together with the Shares and the Pre-Funded Warrants, the “Securities”) to purchase up to 2,663,045 shares of Common Stock. The offering price per Share was $1.15 and the offering price per Pre-Funded Warrant was $1.14999. The Private Placement Warrants were sold in a concurrent private placement (the “Private Placement”), exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) and/or Rule 506 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

 

The Pre-Funded Warrants have cashless exercise rights and to the extent the shares of common stock underlying the Private Placement Warrants are not registered under the Securities Act, the Private Placement Warrants include cashless exercise rights.

 

Under the terms of the Pre-Funded Warrants and Private Placement Warrants, a holder will not be entitled to exercise any portion of any such warrant, if, upon giving effect to such exercise, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the holder (together with its affiliates, any other persons acting as a group together with the holder or any of the holder’s affiliates, and any other persons whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would or could be aggregated with the holder’s for purposes of Section 13(d) or Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) would exceed 4.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of such warrant, which percentage may be increased at the holder’s election upon 61 days’ notice to the Company subject to the terms of such warrants, provided that such percentage may in no event exceed 9.99%, and provided further that the Purchaser has elected to increase the ownership limitation to 9.99% in connection with the initial issuance of the Pre-Funded Warrants.

 

 

The Private Placement Warrants may not be exercised by the holder thereof until or unless the Company’s stockholders have approved the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of such Private Placement Warrants pursuant to the applicable rules and regulations of the Nasdaq Stock Market, including the issuance of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants in excess of 19.99% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock on the closing date of the offering (“Stockholder Approval”).

 

As an additional requirement to the offering, all of the officers and directors of the Company were required to enter into an agreement agreeing to vote all Common Stock over which such persons have voting control as of the record date for the meeting of stockholders of the Company (the “Voting Agreement”), which Voting Agreement has been entered into by such required persons.

 

The offering of the Shares, Pre-Funded Warrants and Private Placement Warrants resulted in gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $1.75 million. The net proceeds to the Company from the offering are expected to be approximately $1.5 million, after deducting placement agent fees and expenses and estimated offering expenses payable by the Company. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes.

 

Additionally, each of the directors and executive officers of the Company, pursuant to lock-up agreements (the “Lock-Up Agreements”), agreed not to sell or transfer any of the Company securities which they hold, subject to certain exceptions, during the 90-day period following the closing of the offering.

 

We agreed pursuant to the Purchase Agreement that as soon as practicable (and in any event within 60 calendar days of the date of Purchase Agreement), that we would file a registration statement on Form S-1 providing for the resale by the Purchaser of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective within 181 days following the closing date of the offerings and to keep such registration statement effective at all times until no Purchaser owns any Private Placement Warrants or shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise thereof. The date such required registration statement is declared effective is defined herein as the “Effective Date”.

 

We also agreed to hold a special meeting of stockholders (which may also be at the annual meeting of stockholders) or take action via written consent of stockholders, at the earliest practical date, but no later than December 20, 2022, for the purpose of obtaining Shareholder Approval, with the recommendation of the Company’s Board of Directors that such proposal be approved, and to solicit proxies from our stockholders in connection therewith. We are required to use our reasonable best efforts to obtain such Shareholder Approval. If we do not obtain Shareholder Approval at the first meeting, we are required to call a meeting every six months thereafter to seek Shareholder Approval until the earlier of the date Shareholder Approval is obtained or the Private Placement Warrants are no longer outstanding.

 

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement the Company has agreed that, subject to certain exceptions, (i) it will not issue any shares of Common Stock for a period of 90 days following the later of (A) the date of Stockholder Approval and (B) the Effective Date, subject to certain customary and pre-agreed exceptions and that (ii) it will not enter into a variable rate transaction for a period of nine months following the Effective Date.

 

We also agreed to provide the Purchaser a right of participation for 12 months following the closing date to participate up to 25% in any subsequent offering we may undertake of equity or debt.

 

The transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement closed on October 7, 2022.

 

On October 4, 2022, the Company also entered into a placement agent agreement (the “Placement Agent Agreement”) with Maxim Group LLC (the “Placement Agent”). Pursuant to the terms of the Placement Agent Agreement, the Placement Agent agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to arrange for the sale of the Securities. The Company paid the Placement Agent a cash fee equal to 7.0% of the gross proceeds generated from the sale of the Shares and Pre-Funded Warrants and reimbursed the Placement Agent for certain of its expenses in an aggregate amount of $35,000.

 

Nasdaq Shareholder Equity Listing Requirements

 

On July 29, 2022, the Company received a letter from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that it was not in compliance with the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) (the “Rule”) requires companies listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market to maintain stockholders’ equity of at least $2,500,000. In the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, the Company reported stockholders’ equity of $1,804,533, which is below the minimum stockholders’ equity required for continued listing pursuant to the Rule. Additionally, the Company does not meet the alternative Nasdaq continued listing standards under Nasdaq Listing Rules.
