Securities Purchase Agreement

 

The Company engaged H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC (“Wainwright”), to act as placement agent related to the Securities Purchase Agreement described below. The Company agreed to pay Wainwright an aggregate fee equal to 7.0% of the gross proceeds received by the Company from the sale of the securities in the transaction. The Company will also issue to Wainwright or its designees warrants to purchase up to 5.0% of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock sold in the transactions (the “Placement Agent Warrants”), or 605,263 Placement Agent Warrants. The Placement Agent Warrants have substantially the same terms as the Common Warrants, except that the Placement Agent Warrants have an exercise price equal to 125% of the offering price, or $1.1875 per share. The Company will also pay Wainwright $50,000 for non-accountable expenses and $10,000 for legal fees and expenses.

 

On January 5, 2022, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with several institutional investors for the sale by the Company of (i) 9,489,474 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, (ii) pre-funded warrants (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 2,615,790 shares of common stock and (iii) warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 12,105,264 shares of common stock (the “Common Warrants” and, collectively with the Pre-Funded Warrants, the “Warrants”), in a private placement offering. The combined purchase price of one share of common stock (or one Pre-Funded Warrant) and accompanying Common Warrant is $0.95.

 

Subject to certain ownership limitations, the Warrants are exercisable upon issuance. Each Pre-Funded Warrant is exercisable into one share of common stock at a price per share of $0.001 (as adjusted from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof). Each Common Warrant is exercisable into one share of common stock at a price per share of $0.82 (as adjusted from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof) and will expire on the fifth anniversary of the date of issuance. The gross proceeds from the Purchase Agreement was $11.5 million resulting in net proceeds, after payment of commissions and expenses, received by the Company of $10.6 million.

 

On February 18, 2022, the Company received a deficiency letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that for the last 30 consecutive business days the bid price for the Company’s common stock had closed below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement for continued inclusion in Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Bid Price Rule”). The deficiency letter does not result in the immediate delisting of the Company’s common stock from Nasdaq .

 

The Company has been provided an initial period of 180 calendar days, or until August 17, 2022, to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule.  If the Company is not in compliance with the Bid Price Rule by August 17, 2022, the Company may be afforded a second 180 calendar day period to regain compliance. To qualify, the Company would be required to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards required by Nasdaq, except for the minimum bid price requirement.

 

The Company intends to monitor the closing bid price of its common stock and may, if appropriate, consider available options to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule, which could include effecting a reverse stock split. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule.

 

On March 1, 2022, the Company received $2,616 in cash proceeds from the exercise of 2,615,790 Pre-Funded Warrants issued at an exercise price of $0.001.
