As previously disclosed, on March 28, 2023, Aspira Women’s Health Inc. (the “Company”) and Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC (“Lincoln Park”) entered into a purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), and a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement” and, together with the Purchase Agreement, the “Transaction Documents”), pursuant to which the Company has the right, in its sole discretion, to sell to Lincoln Park shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), having an aggregate value of up to $10,000,000, subject to certain limitations and conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement. On March 30, 2023, the Company filed a Current Report on Form 8-K that described the transactions relating to the Purchase Agreement and file the Transaction Documents as exhibits.
The issuance of the Purchase Shares had been previously registered pursuant to the Company’s effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-252267) (the “Old Registration Statement”), and the related base prospectus included in the Registration Statement, as supplemented by a prospectus supplement filed on March 28, 2023, that has expired. On April 22, 2024, the Company has filed a registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-278867) (the “Registration Statement”), and the related base prospectus included in the Registration Statement, that has been declared effective by the SEC on April 25, 2024.
As of April 26, 2024, the Company has sold 472,312 shares of Common Stock under the Purchase Agreement for gross proceeds of approximately $1,578,000 under the Old Registration Statement. In addition, 47,733 shares of Common Stock have been issued to Lincoln Park as consideration for entering into the Purchase Agreement. Up to $8,422,000 of shares of Common Stock remain to be sold to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement, which may be sold at a purchase price per share based on the market price of our Common Stock at the time of sale as calculated under the Purchase Agreement, subject to certain limitations, including but not limited to the Exchange Cap (as defined in the Purchase Agreement).
On April 26, 2024, the Company filed a prospectus supplement to the Registration Statement related to the sale of up to $3,200,000 shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. A copy of the legal opinion as to the legality of the shares of Common Stock subject to the Purchase Agreement is filed as Exhibit 5.1 attached hereto.
The terms of the Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement have remained the same. Copies of the Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement are attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and Exhibit 10.2, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.
The information contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the shares of Common Stock discussed herein, nor shall there be any offer, solicitation or sale of the shares in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction.
