Capital Raises

 

March 2024

 

On March 13, 2024, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “March 2024 Purchase Agreement”) with an institutional investor (“the “Purchaser”) for the issuance and sale in a private placement (the “March 2024 Private Placement”) of aggregate Units consisting of (i) 108,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, (ii) series A warrants to purchase up to 628,367 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Series A Warrants”), and (iii) series B warrants to purchase up to 628,367 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Series B Warrants” and together with the Series A Warrants, the “March 2024 Common Warrants”). The purchase price of each Unit consisted of one share of the Company’s common stock and associated March 2024 Common Warrants, was $5.57 per Unit for aggregate gross proceeds of $601,560. Additionally, the Company sold pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 520,367 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”). Pre-funded Warrants are a type of warrant that allows the warrant holder to purchase a specified number of a company’s securities at a nominal exercise price. The purchase price of each Pre-Funded Warrant was $5.569 for aggregate gross proceeds of $2,897,924. In connection with this March 2024 Private Placement, the Company raised aggregate gross proceeds of $3,499,484 consisting of $601,560 from the sales of common stock units and $2,897,924 from the sale of pre-funded warrants, and the Company received net proceeds of $3,056,984, net of offering costs paid to the placement agent (see below) of $382,500 and legal fees of $60,000, which were netted against the $601,560 of gross proceeds from the sale of common stock units for net proceeds allocated to the sale of common stock units of $159,060. The Company is using the net proceeds received from the March 2024 Private Placement for general corporate purposes and working capital.

 

The March 2024 Common Warrants are exercisable immediately upon issuance at an exercise price of $5.50 per share. The Series A Warrants will expire five and one-half years from the date of issuance and the Series B Warrants will expire twenty-four months from the date of issuance. The Pre-Funded Warrants are exercisable immediately upon issuance at a nominal exercise price of $0.001 and may be exercised at any time until the Pre-Funded Warrants are exercised in full. A holder of Pre-Funded Warrants or March 2024 Common Warrants (together with its affiliates) may not exercise any portion of a warrant to the extent that the holder would own more than 4.99% (or, at the election of the holder 9.99%) of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock immediately after exercise.

 

In connection with the March 2024 Private Placement, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), dated as of March 13, 2024, with the Purchaser, pursuant to which the Company agreed to prepare and file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) registering the resale of the securities issued in the March 2024 Private Placement no later than 30 days after the date of the Registration Rights Agreement, and to use its best efforts to have the registration statement declared effective as promptly as practical thereafter, and in any event no later than 60 days following the date of the Registration Rights Agreement (or 90 days following the date of the Registration Rights Agreement in the event of a “full review” by the SEC). The Company filed a registration statement with the SEC on April 4, 2024 which declared effective on April 16, 2024.

H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC (the “Placement Agent”) acted as the Company’s exclusive placement agent in connection with the March 2024 Private Placement, pursuant to an engagement letter, dated as of March 7, 2024 and as amended on March 13, 2024, between the Company and Wainwright (the “Engagement Letter”). Pursuant to the Engagement Letter, the Company paid the Placement Agent (i) a total cash fee equal to 7.5% of the aggregate gross proceeds of the March 2024 Private Placement and (ii) a management fee of 1.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds of the March 2024 Private Placement. In addition, the Company agreed to pay the Placement Agent certain expenses and issued to the Placement Agent or its designees warrants (the “March 2024 Placement Agent Warrants”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 47,128 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price equal to $6.9625 per share. The March 2024 Placement Agent Warrants are exercisable immediately upon issuance and have a term of exercise equal to five and a half years from the date of issuance. The fair value of the March 2024 Placement Agent Warrants of $318,900 was calculated using the Binomial Lattice valuation model, which is considered an offering cost and is netted against the net proceeds received. In addition, pursuant to the Engagement Letter, the Company agreed that upon any exercise for cash of any privately placed warrants issued to investors in an offering covered by the Engagement Letter, the Company shall (i) pay the Placement Agent a cash fee of 7.5% and a management fee of 1.0% of the aggregate gross exercise paid in cash with respect thereto, and (ii) issue warrants to purchase that number of shares of common stock equal to 7.5% of the aggregate number of shares of common stock underlying the warrants that were exercised.

 

The March 2024 Placement Agent Warrants were valued on the date of issuance using Binomial Lattice valuation model with the following assumptions:

 

   March 15,
2024
 
Dividend rate   
%
Term (in years)   5.5 years 
Volatility   186.5%
Risk—free interest rate   4.33%

 

The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury rates at the date of issuance with a maturity date approximately equal to the expected life at issuance date. Volatility is based on historical and expected future volatility of the Company’s common stock. The Company has not historically issued any dividends and does not expect to in the future.

 

During the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company issued 103,367 common shares in connection with the exercise of 103,367 pre-funded warrants for net proceeds of $104.
