Under the Agreement, the Agent may sell Shares by any method permitted by law deemed to be an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415 promulgated under Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).
The Company will pay the Agent a commission of 3% of the aggregate gross sales prices of the Shares. The Company will also reimburse the Agent for fees and disbursements of counsel to the Agent in an amount not to exceed $37,000 in connection with the signing of the Agreement.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering for working capital and general corporate purposes.
The Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, covenants and indemnification and contribution obligations, including indemnification and contribution for liabilities under the Securities Act. The Agreement may be terminated (i) by the Company at any time in its sole discretion by giving five days’ written notice to the Agent or (ii) by the Agent, at any time in its sole discretion by giving written notice to the Company.
The Shares are being offered and sold pursuant to the Company’s effective shelf registration statement under the Securities Act on Form S-3 (File No. 333-276876), which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 18, 2024, and the prospectus supplement relating to the Shares, dated April 25, 2024, which the Company filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b)(5) under the Securities Act on April 25, 2024.
