STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

NOTE 5 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

 

Common stock

 

The common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), confers upon the holders the right to receive notice to participate and vote in general meetings of the Company, the right to receive dividends, if declared, and to participate in the distribution of the surplus assets and funds of the Company in the event of liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company.

 

Reverse stock split

 

On February 8, 2023, the Company effected a reverse stock split of its Common Stock at a ratio of 1 post-split share for every 20 pre-split shares. The Company’s Common Stock begin trading on a split-adjusted basis when the market opened on February 9, 2023 (the “Reverse Stock Split”).

 

At the effective time of the Reverse Stock Split, every 20 shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Stock were converted automatically into one issued and outstanding share of Common Stock without any change in the par value per share. Stockholders holding shares through a brokerage account had their shares automatically adjusted to reflect the 1-for-20 Reverse Stock Split. The Reverse Stock Split affected all stockholders uniformly and did not alter any stockholder’s percentage interest in the Company’s equity, except to the extent that the Reverse Stock Split resulted in a stockholder owning a fractional share. Any fractional share of a stockholder resulting from the Reverse Stock Split was rounded up to the nearest whole number of shares. Proportional adjustments were made to the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock issuable upon exercise or conversion of the Company’s equity awards, warrants, and other convertible securities, as well as the applicable exercise or conversion price thereof. On February 16, 2023, the Company rounded up fractional shares to its nearest whole number of 15,726 shares. On March 31, 2024, the Company rounded up fractional shares to its nearest whole number of 46 shares.

 

All references in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to number of shares, price per share, and weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding prior to the Reverse Stock Split have been adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split on a retroactive basis, unless otherwise noted.

 

Issuance of Common Stock for cash through private placement

 

On August 30, 2023, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with an institutional investor for the issuance and sale in a private placement (the “Private Placement”) of 180,000 shares (the “Common Stock”) of Common Stock, pre-funded warrants (“Pre-Funded Warrants”) to purchase up to 2,726,977 shares of Common Stock, with an exercise price of $0.0001 per share, A-1 Warrants (the “A-1 Warrants”) to purchase up to 2,906,977 shares of Common Stock, with an exercise price of $1.47 per share, and A-2 Warrants (the “A-2 Warrants” and together with the A-1 Warrants, the “Warrants”) to purchase up to 2,906,977 shares of Common Stock with an exercise price of $1.47 per share. The A-1 Warrants are exercisable immediately upon issuance and expire March 1, 2029. The A-2 Warrants are exercisable immediately upon issuance and expire October 1, 2024. The combined purchase price for one Common Share and the accompanying Warrants was $1.72, and the combined purchase price for one Pre-Funded Warrant and the accompanying Warrants was $1.7199.

 

The net proceeds to the Company from the Private Placement were approximately $4,215,000, after deducting placement agent fees and expenses and estimated offering expenses payable by the Company. The Company intends to use the net proceeds received from the Private Placement for general corporate purposes, including funding of the Company’s development programs, commercial planning, sales and marketing expenses, potential strategic acquisitions, general and administrative expenses, and working capital.
