The Company was required to file a registration statement for the registration of the Shares for their resale by the Purchaser within 100 days from the effective date of this Agreement. The Private Placement was completed pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

The Shares were sold to the Purchasers at a negotiated purchase price of $0.80 per share, for gross proceeds to the Company of $1,887,417, before deducting $200,000 in placement agent fees and other estimated offering expenses payable by the Company. In a concurrent private placement, the Company also issued to the each of the Purchasers a warrant to purchase 0.75 of a share of the Company’s Common Stock for each share purchased under the Purchase Agreement, or 1,769,454 warrants (pre-reverse stock split). The Warrants are exercisable beginning on the six month anniversary of the date of issuance at an exercise price of $0.9365 per share, and expire on the five and one-half year anniversary of the date of issuance. H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC acted as the Company’s exclusive placement agent in connection with the offerings under the Purchase Agreement and received cash fee of 7% of the gross proceeds received by the Company from the offerings (or $132,119), up to $75,000 for certain expenses, $10,000 for clearing expenses and warrants to purchase the Company’s Common Stock in an amount equal to 7% of our Shares sold to the Purchasers in the offerings, or 165,149 shares of Common Stock, on substantially the same terms as the Warrants, except that the Placement Agent Warrants have an initial exercise price of $1.00 per share, are exercisable commencing on the later of (i) six months of the issuance date or (ii) the date on which the Company increases the number of its authorized shares, and expire on April 15, 2024. The warrants issued in this private placement were classified as equity instruments. The Company accounted for the warrants issued in the private placement based on the fair value method under ASC Topic 505, and the FV of the warrants was calculated using the Black-Scholes model under the following assumptions: estimated life of 5.5 years for Investor Warrants and 5 years for Placement Agent Warrants, volatility of 100%, risk-free interest rate of 2.41% and dividend yield of 0%. The FV of the warrants issued to investors at grant date was $855,246, and the FV of the warrants issued to the placement agent at grant date was $75,901. On November 22, 2019, the Company entered into an Exchange Agreement (the “First Exchange Agreement”) with certain investors who had been party to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement dated October 29, 2018. Pursuant to the First Exchange Agreement, the Company and the October Investors agreed to exchange the outstanding warrant issued by the Company to the October Investors pursuant to the October Securities Purchase Agreement into shares of common stock of the Company, with an exchange ratio of 1 share of October Warrant Stock for 0.5 shares of common stock, according to the terms and conditions of the First Exchange Agreement. On November 22, 2019, the Company entered into a Second Exchange Agreement (the “Second Exchange Agreement”) with certain investors who had been party to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement dated April 15, 2019 by and among the Company and such investors. Pursuant to the Second Exchange Agreement, the Company and the April Investors agreed to exchange the outstanding warrant issued by the Company to the April Investors pursuant to the April Securities Purchase Agreement into shares of common stock of the Company, with an exchange ratio of 1 share of April Warrant Stock for 0.6 shares of common stock, according to the terms and conditions of the Second Exchange Agreement. The Company let the warrant holders exercised the 375,454 warrants (post-reverse stock split) into 205,421 common shares (post-reverse stock split) of the Company at a cashless exercise method. The fair value of these shares was the additional cost to the Company for the issuance of the shares under securities purchase agreements previously entered (described above). However, since the warrants were initially equity classified as they met the qualifications for equity classification under ASC 815-40, accordingly, the modification upon exercise of these warrants had no impact to the Company’s financial statements.
