2025 Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement

 

On August 19, 2025, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “2025 Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement”) with David E. Lazar, that provides for the Company to sell in a private placement (i) an aggregate of 481,250 shares of Series D Preferred Stock convertible into an aggregate of 77.0 million shares of Common Stock for $3.85 million and (ii) an aggregate of 268,750 shares of Series E Preferred Stock convertible into an aggregate of 43.0 million shares of Common Stock for an additional $2.15 million.

 

Simultaneous to entering into the 2025 Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement on August 19, 2025, Mr. Lazar completed the purchase of the 481,250 shares of Series D Preferred Stock from the Company at a price of $8.00 per share for aggregate gross proceeds of $3.85 million and net proceeds to the Company of $3.79 million after deducting $64 thousand of issuance costs (the “Initial Series D Preferred Purchase”). The 2025 Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement provided for the ability of Mr. Lazar to assign, transfer and/or sell his shares of Series D Preferred Stock, Series E Preferred Stock, and/or his right acquire such securities. As further described in Note 19, “Subsequent Events”, on October 9, 2025, Mr. Lazar entered into an agreement to effect such transfer.

 

Since the Common Stock is currently listed on the NYSE American, LLC (“NYSE American”), and among these requirements are Section 713(a) and (b) of the NYSE American Company Guide (the “Company Guide”). Section 713(a) of the Company Guide requires stockholder approval in connection with any transaction, other than a public offering, involving the sale, issuance, or potential issuance, of common stock or securities convertible into common stock, equal to 20.0% or more of presently outstanding stock for less than the greater of book or market value. Section 713(b) of the Company Guide requires stockholder approval of a transaction, other than a public offering, involving the sale, issuance or potential issuance by an issuer of common stock (or securities convertible into, or exercisable for, common stock) when the issuance or potential issuance of additional shares may result in a change of control of the issuer. As a result of the significant number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued upon the future conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock and Series E Preferred Stock compared to the currently issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock as provided above, the Company was required to obtain stockholder approval in accordance with the Company Guide Rule 713(a) and Rule 713(b) for Mr. Lazar to be able to convert the Series D Preferred Stock and the Series E Preferred Stock (the “Conversion Approval”).

 

Conversion Approval was obtained subsequent to September 30, 2025, on October 16, 2025. See additional discussion in Note 19, “Subsequent Events”.

 

On October 16, 2025, subsequent to September 30, 2025 and the Conversion Approval, the Company completed the sale of 268,750 shares of Series E Preferred Stock at a price of $8.00 per share for aggregate gross proceeds of $2.15 million. See additional discussion in Note 19, “Subsequent Events”.

 

2025 Warrant Exchange and Issuance of Series F Preferred Stock

 

On August 19, 2025, simultaneous with the signing of the 2025 Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company entered into warrant exchange agreements (the “Series F Agreements”) with each of Anson Investments Master Fund LP, Hudson Bay Capital Management LP and Armistice Capital, LLC (collectively, the “Series F Holders”). The Series F Agreements provide for the irrevocable surrender and cancellation of all warrants beneficially owned by the Series F Holders, in exchange for the Company issuing (i) an aggregate of 1,986,565 shares of Series F Preferred Stock and (ii) an aggregate cash payment of $525,000 to the Series F Holders. Warrants exercisable for an aggregate of 1,988,283 shares of common stock were surrendered and cancelled in conjunction with the Series F Agreements. The Series F Agreements also include a “most favored nations” provision that would increase the amount paid to the Series F Holders if, after the effective date of the Series F Agreements, another holder of the Company’s Common Stock purchase warrants receives a higher amount per underlying warrant; except that this provision shall not apply to (i) settlements with retail investor warrant holders that (1) individually is less than or equal to six and thirty hundredths percent (6.30%) of a Series F Holder’s total warrants outstanding or (2) in the aggregate is less than or equal to twelve and seventy hundredths percent (12.70%) of a Series F Holder’s total warrants outstanding or (ii) prior warrant settlements by the Company.

 

Because the carrying value of the Common Stock Warrants cancelled in conjunction with the Series F Agreements exceeded the total cash payment made and carry value of the Series F Preferred Stock issued, the Company recorded a deemed capital contribution of $433 thousand upon entering the Series F Agreements.

 

2024 Public Offering

 

On July 26, 2024, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Ladenburg Thalmann & Co., Inc., as the sole underwriter (the “Underwriter”), relating to the issuance and sale in a public offering (the “2024 Public Offering”) of (i) 1,158,566 shares of common stock and 2,041,814 pre-funded warrants, in lieu of shares of common stock (the “July 2024 Pre-Funded Warrants”), (ii) 3,200,380 Series F-1 warrants to purchase up to 3,200,380 shares of common stock (the “Series F-1 Warrants”), (iii) 3,200,380 Series F-2 warrants to purchase up to 3,200,380 shares of common stock (the “Series F-2 Warrants”) and (iv) 3,200,380 Series F-3 warrants to purchase up to 3,200,380 shares of common stock (the “Series F-3 Warrants”, and together with the Series F-1 Warrants and Series F-2 Warrants, the “July 2024 Warrants”).

 

The Series F-1 Warrants had an exercise price of $1.10 per share at issuance, were exercisable immediately upon issuance, and will expire on the five-year anniversary of the date of issuance. The Series F-2 Warrants had an exercise price of $1.10 per share at issuance, were exercisable immediately upon issuance, and have since expired on the six-month anniversary of the date of issuance on January 29, 2025. The Series F-3 Warrants had an exercise price of $1.10 per share at issuance, were exercisable immediately upon issuance, and expired on the one-year anniversary of the date of issuance. The July 2024 Pre-Funded Warrants were immediately exercisable at a nominal exercise price of $0.01 per share and could be exercised at any time until the July 2024 Pre-Funded Warrants were exercised in full.

 

The July 2024 Warrants included a one-time down round feature adjustment where the exercise price was automatically reset to a price equal to the lesser of (i) the then exercise price and (ii) 90% of the volume weighted average prices for the five (5) trading days immediately preceding the date that is sixty calendar days after issuance of the July 2024 Warrants as applicable. Such down round feature adjustment was triggered on September 27, 2024, which resulted in a reduced exercise price of $0.66 for all of the July 2024 Warrants.

 

The exercise price and number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the July 2024 Warrants is subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of stock dividends, stock splits, reorganizations or similar events affecting the common stock and the exercise price. Subject to limited exceptions, a holder may not exercise any portion of its July 2024 Warrants to the extent that the holder would beneficially own more than 4.99% (or, at the election of the holder prior to the date of issuance, 9.99%) of the Company’s outstanding common stock after exercise.

 

In addition, the Company granted the Underwriter a 45-day option to purchase up to 477,272 additional shares of common stock and/or 477,272 Series F-1 Warrants to purchase up to 477,272 shares of common stock, 477,272 Series F-2 Warrants to purchase up to 477,272 shares of common stock and 477,272 Series F-3 Warrants to purchase up to 477,272 shares of common stock, or any combination thereof, as determined by the Underwriter, at the public offering price, less underwriting discounts and commissions, in each case solely to cover over-allotments, if any.

 

The Underwriter partially exercised this option on July 26, 2024, for (i) 336,832 shares of common stock, (ii) 336,832 Series F-1 Warrants to purchase up to 336,832 shares of common stock, (iii) 336,832 Series F-2 Warrants to purchase up to 336,832 shares of common stock and (iv) 336,832 Series F-3 Warrants to purchase up to 336,832 shares of common stock.

 

The 2024 Public Offering closed on July 29, 2024, and the Company received gross proceeds of $3.9 million, without taking into account any underwriting discounts and commissions. A portion of the proceeds was used toward repaying the Secured Convertible Notes, which were repaid in full during the third quarter of 2024.

 

2024 Warrant Reprice Transaction

 

In June 2024, the Company entered into a warrant reprice transaction (the “2024 Warrant Reprice Transaction”) with certain existing holders of (i) warrants issued in September 2022 to purchase common stock, (ii) Series A-1 Warrants issued in November 2022 to purchase common stock, (iii) Series B-1 Warrants issued in May 2023 to purchase common stock, and (iv) Series B-2 Warrants issued in May 2023 to purchase common stock (collectively (i) through (iv), the “Participant Warrants”). The participants agreed to exercise a portion of their Participant Warrants at a reduced exercise price of $2.50 per share. Participant Warrants were exercised for an aggregate of 90,381 shares of common stock, resulting in gross proceeds of approximately $0.2 million.

 

The Company also issued participants in the 2024 Warrant Reprice Transaction a new June 2024 Warrant to purchase a number of shares of common stock equal to 100% of the shares of common stock exercised. The June 2024 Warrants are substantially similar to the Participant Warrants, except that the June 2024 Warrants will (i) be initially exercisable on the six-month anniversary of the date of issuance; (ii) have an exercise price of $2.57 per share; and (iii) have a term of five (5) years and six (6) months from the date of the closing of the 2024 Warrant Reprice Transaction.

 

The Company incurred total issuance costs of $96 thousand in conjunction with the 2024 Warrant Reprice Transaction. The Company incurred a $69 thousand non-cash loss on the modification of common stock warrants which was recorded in “Other expense, net” in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
