At-the-Market Sales Agreement

In August 2019, the Company entered into an Open Market Sale Agreement (2019 Sales Agreement) with Jefferies, LLC (Jefferies), for the offer and sale of shares of its common stock having an aggregate offering of up to $25.0 million from time to time through Jefferies, acting as the Company’s sales agent. The issuance and sale of these shares by the Company pursuant to the 2019 Sales Agreement are deemed an “at-the-market” (ATM) offering under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Under the 2019 Sales Agreement, the Company agreed to pay Jefferies a commission of up to 3% of the gross proceeds of any sales made pursuant to the Sales Agreement. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company received net proceeds of $2.1 million, after deducting commissions and expenses payable by the Company, from the sale of 468,427 shares of common stock pursuant to the 2019 Sales Agreement. The Company suspended sales under the 2019 Sales Agreement in March 2020 and terminated the ATM program in November 2020.
