Recitals

WHEREAS, the Company previously issued a new series of senior subordinated convertible notes (“Bridge Notes”), which were convertible into shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), of the Company, and warrants (“Original Bridge Warrants”, and such Original Bridge Warrants as amended by this Amendment are referred to herein as the “Warrants”) to purchase shares of Common Stock pursuant to the terms of that certain Securities Purchase Agreement dated as of December 22, 2021 (the “SPA”) by and among the Company and the Buyers (as defined in the SPA);

 

WHEREAS, effective June 10, 2022, the Company consummated a reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of its Common Stock whereby every 33 shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Stock were combined into one share of Common Stock, except to the extent that the Reverse Stock Split resulted in any of the Company’s shareholders owning a fractional share, in which case, if such fraction was greater than or equal to one-half, the shareholder received one additional share of Common Stock and if such fraction was less than one-half, the fractional share was cancelled;

 

WHEREAS, on June 15, 2022, the Company completed an initial public offering (the “IPO”) of a total of 1,500,000 units each consisting of one share of Common Stock and one warrant (the “Public Warrants”) to purchase one share of Common Stock, and of an additional 225,000 Public Warrants pursuant to the over-allotment option granted to the underwriters;

 

WHEREAS, in connection with and as a result of the IPO and pursuant to the terms of the Bridge Notes and the Original Bridge Warrants, the Bridge Notes were converted into 1,606,027 shares of Common Stock and 77,443 Pre-Funded Warrants (as defined in the SPA) and the holders of the Original Bridge Warrants became entitled to purchase a total of 1,365,960 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $5.16 per share;

 

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 9 of the Original Bridge Warrants, the provisions of the Original Bridge Warrants may be amended only if the Company has obtained the written consent of the Required Holders (as defined in the SPA), which as of the date hereof will be satisfied by the execution and delivery by the Holder of this Amendment;

 

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to amend the Original Bridge Warrants as set forth in this Amendment;

 

WHEREAS, the Holder desires to consent to the amendments to the Original Bridge Warrants set forth in this Amendment and, as a result, each of the Original Bridge Warrants shall be amended as set forth in this Amendment;

 

 

 

 

WHEREAS, the Company and the Holder desire (i) to amend the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares (as defined below) for which each of the Warrants is exercisable, as agreed upon by the Company and the Holder as set forth in this Amendment and (ii) to make certain other amendments to each of the Original Bridge Warrants, as set forth in this Amendment; and

 

WHEREAS, as a result of this Amendment, as of the Amendment Date of this Amendment, the number of shares of Common Stock that each of the holders of the Original Bridge Warrants (each a “Warrant Holder” and, collectively, the “Warrant Holders”) is entitled to purchase from the Company upon exercise of the Warrants, at the Exercise Price (as defined in the Warrants), is equal to the number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock set forth next to such Warrant Holder’s name on Exhibit A hereto (the “Warrant Shares”).

The Company and the Holder acknowledge and agree that, effective on the Amendment Date, the Warrants will take on the registered characteristics of the Original Bridge Warrants and that, accordingly, will be issued by the Company with the same restrictive legends as the Original Bridge Warrants and that the Warrant Shares (as defined in the Warrant) shall be subject to the Registration Rights Agreement (as defined in the SPA). Unless otherwise indicated herein, all terms which are capitalized but are not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Original Bridge Warrants.
Section 2.
Representations and Warranties of the Holder. The Holder represents and warrants to the Company as follows:
(a)
The Holder has the requisite power, authority and capacity to execute and deliver this Amendment and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and to perform its obligations hereunder and has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Amendment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Holder has the power and authority to cause this Amendment to be binding and enforceable with respect to all of the Warrant Holders.
(b)
This Amendment has been duly executed and delivered by the Holder and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery of this Amendment by the Company, this Amendment is a valid and binding obligation of the Holder and all of the Warrant Holders enforceable against the Holder and all of the Warrant Holders in accordance with its terms.
(c)
Neither the execution and delivery of this Amendment nor the performance by the Holder of its obligations hereunder will conflict with, result in a violation or breach of, or constitute a default (or an event that, with notice or lapse of time or both, would result in a default) or give rise to any right of termination, amendment, cancellation, or acceleration under, (i) its certificate of limited partnership, limited partnership agreement (or similar organizational documents), (ii) any contract, commitment, note, agreement, understanding, arrangement or restriction of any kind to which Holder is a party or by which the Holder is bound including, without limitation, the Original Bridge Warrant, or (iii) any injunction, judgment, writ, decree, order or ruling applicable to the Holder; except in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) for conflicts, violations, breaches, defaults,

terminations, amendments, cancellations or accelerations that would not individually or in the aggregate be reasonably expected to prevent or materially impair or delay the consummation by the Holder of the transactions contemplated by this Amendment.
(d)
Neither the execution and delivery of this Amendment nor the performance by the Holder of its obligations hereunder will violate any law, decree, statute, rule or regulation applicable to the Holder or require any order, consent, authorization or approval of, filing or registration with, or declaration or notice to, any court, administrative agency or other governmental body or authority.
(e)
The conversion of the Bridge Notes into 1,606,027 shares of Common Stock and 77,443 Pre-Funded Warrants and the adjustments to the number of Warrant Shares and the Exercise Price under the Original Bridge Warrants to entitle the Warrant Holders to purchase a total of 1,365,960 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $5.16 per share in connection with and as a result of the IPO were consummated in accordance with the terms of the Bridge Notes and the Original Bridge Warrants.
(f)
The Holder has been privy to information regarding the Company including, without limitation, (i) the Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 17, 2022 (File No. 333-265024), as amended, and all subsequent public filings of the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission, (ii) other publicly available information regarding the Company, and (iii) such other information that it and its advisers deem necessary to make its decision to enter into the transactions contemplated by this Amendment and has been given an opportunity to ask questions regarding the condition of the Company, financial and otherwise, including the current and potential value of the Common Stock.

The Holder understands, based on its experience, the disadvantage to which the Holder is subject due to the disparity of information between the Company and the Holder. Notwithstanding this disadvantage, the Holder has deemed it appropriate to engage in the transactions contemplated by this Amendment.
(g)
The Holder acknowledges that none of the Company or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents or affiliates has made any representation or warranty, express or implied, regarding the Company, the Common Stock, the Warrants or otherwise, other than the representations and warranties set forth herein.

Effective as of the date immediately prior to the time of consummation of the IPO (the “Effective Time”), Section 2(b)(iv) of each of the Original Bridge Warrants is hereby amended to add the following (the “Valuation Amendment”) at the end of Section 2(b) (iv):

“Number of Warrant Shares. Simultaneously with any adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to Section 2(a), the number of Warrant Shares that may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be increased or decreased proportionately, so that after such adjustment the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder for the adjusted number of Warrant Shares shall be the same as the aggregate Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment (without regard to any limitations on exercise contained herein). Notwithstanding anything in this Warrant to the contrary, there shall be no adjustment to the number of Warrant Shares in connection with an adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to any Subsection of this Section 2 (including, without limitation, Section 2(f)) other than Section 2(a).”

(f)
Section 2(d) of each of the Original Bridge Warrants is hereby amended and restated to read, in its entirety, as follows:

“Holder’s Right of Alternative Exercise Price Following Issuance of Certain Options or Convertible Securities. In addition to and not in limitation of the other provisions of this Section 2, if the Company in any manner issues or sells or enters into any agreement to issue or sell, any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities (any such securities, “Variable Price Securities”) after the Subscription Date and prior to the IPO Anniversary Date that are issuable pursuant to such agreement or convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of Common Stock at a price which varies or may vary with the market price of the shares of Common Stock, including by way of one or more reset(s) to a fixed price, but exclusive of such formulations reflecting customary anti-dilution provisions (such as share splits, share combinations, share dividends and similar transactions) (each of the formulations for such variable price being herein referred to as,

 

- 5 -

 

the “Variable Price”), the Company shall provide written notice thereof via e-mail and overnight courier to the Holder on the date of such agreement and the issuance of such Convertible Securities or Options. From and after the date the Company enters into such agreement or issues any such Variable Price Securities until the IPO Anniversary Date, the Holder shall have the right, but not the obligation, in its sole discretion to substitute an amount equal to 125% of the Variable Price for the Exercise Price upon exercise of this Warrant by designating in the Exercise Notice delivered upon any exercise of this Warrant that solely for purposes of such exercise the Holder is relying on an amount equal to 125% of the Variable Price rather than the Exercise Price then in effect. The Holder’s election to rely on an amount equal to 125% of the Variable Price for a particular exercise of this Warrant shall not obligate the Holder to rely on an amount equal to 125% of the Variable Price for any future exercises of this Warrant.”

(g)
Section 2(e) of each of the Original Bridge Warrants is hereby amended and restated to read, in its entirety, as follows:

“Stock Combination Event Adjustment. If at any time and from time to time on or after the Issuance Date and prior to the IPO Anniversary Date there occurs any stock split, stock dividend, stock combination recapitalization or other similar transaction involving the Common Stock (each, a “Stock Combination Event”, and such date thereof, the “Stock Combination Event Date”) and 125% of the Event Market Price is less than the Exercise Price then in effect (after giving effect to the adjustment in clause 2(a) above), then on the sixteenth (16th) Trading Day immediately following such Stock Combination Event, the Exercise Price then in effect on such sixteenth (16th) Trading Day (after giving effect to the adjustment in clause 2(a) above) shall be reduced (but in no event increased) to 125% the Event Market Price. For the avoidance of doubt, if the adjustment in the immediately preceding sentence would otherwise result in an increase in the Exercise Price hereunder, no adjustment shall be made.”
