Pursuant to the Exchange Agreements, on the effective date of the Exchange Agreements, the PIPE Warrants were exchanged, in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), into an aggregate of 1,885 shares of the Company’s newly created Series A preferred stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock” and such Series A Preferred Stock to be issued in the exchange of the PIPE Warrants, the “Initial New Exchange Preferred Shares”, and such shares of Class A Common Stock (the “Common Stock”) issuable pursuant to the terms of the Certificate of Designations, including, without limitation, upon conversion or otherwise, collectively, the “Initial New Exchange Conversion Shares”), and (ii) a warrant to purchase up to 37,033 shares of Series A Preferred Stock.

 

The Note Exchange will occur on the Closing Date (as defined in the Exchange Agreements), whereby the amounts owing under the PIPE Convertible Notes will be exchanged into shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock. From the date of the Exchange Agreements until the date of the Note Exchange, the conversion price of the PIPE Convertible Notes was reduced to $1.00 per share.

 

Additionally, the Exchange Agreements amended the Prior Purchase Agreement and contained certain covenants of the Company to, among other items, hold one or more stockholder meetings no later than 90 days following the execution of the Exchange Agreements to approve the shares of the Company’s Common Stock issuable underlying the Series A Preferred Stock upon conversion in compliance with the rules and regulations of the Nasdaq Stock Market.
