The Offering was conducted pursuant to a placement agency agreement, dated January 12, 2021, between the Company and Kingswood Capital Markets, division of Benchmark Investments, Inc., who acted as the exclusive placement agent in connection with the Offering pursuant to a placement agency agreement. The Shares and accompanying Warrants in the Offering were sold at a combined offering price of $3.095 per Share and accompanying Warrant and the Pre-Funded Warrants and accompanying Warrants in the Offering were sold at a combined offering price of $3.085 per Pre-Funded Warrant and accompanying Warrant.

 

The securities in the Offering were issued pursuant to a prospectus supplement to the Company’s effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-239419). The placement agency agreement contained customary representations, warranties and agreements by the Company, customary conditions to closing, indemnification obligations of the Company and the placement agent. The placement agent received discounts and commissions of six percent (6%) of the gross cash proceeds received by the Company from the sale of the securities sold in the Offering and certain expenses.

 

Under the placement agency agreement, the Company and its officers and directors executed lock-up agreements whereby, subject to certain expectations, (a) the Company has agreed not to engage in the following for a period of 90 days from the date of the pricing of the Offering, (i) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of capital stock of the Company or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of capital stock of the Company; (ii) file or cause to be filed any registration statement with the SEC relating to the offering of any shares of capital stock of the Company or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of capital stock of the Company; (iii) complete any offering of debt securities of the Company, or (iv) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of capital stock of the Company.

 

Further, pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement the Company has granted to the Investors, for a period of 12 months after the closing of the Offering, the right to participate in subsequent offerings by the Company of Common Stock and Common Stock equivalents in an amount up to 50% of the amount of each such subsequent offering, on the same terms, conditions and price provided for in such subsequent offering.

 

The Company received approximately $28,941,000 ($29,013,000 upon full exercise of the prefunded warrants) in net proceeds from the Offering after deducting the discounts, commissions, and other estimated offering expenses payable by the Company. As of December 31, 2021, all pre-funded warrants have been fully exercised. The Company plans to use the net proceeds from the Offering for working capital, product development, order fulfilment and for general corporate purposes.

 

The Company received net proceeds from this offering as follows:

 

Description  Amount 
Net proceeds received:     
  $ 
Proceeds from the sale of 2,800,000 shares of Common Stock at $3.095 per share  $8,666,000
