Note 11: Common Stock

 

On February 25, 2020, the Company completed a registered direct offering of 11,600,000 shares of common stock, pursuant to its existing shelf registration statement and a prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus, and a concurrent private placement of warrants to purchase 8,700,000 shares of common stock, to a small number of investors. The combined purchase price for one share and 0.75 warrant was $0.58, and the aggregate gross proceeds was $6,700,000, excluding any future proceeds from the potential exercise of the warrants and before deducting placement agent fees and other offering expenses of approximately $495,000 payable by the Company.  The warrants have an exercise price of $0.70 per share.  The warrants are exercisable commencing on the later of (i) six months from the date of issuance or (ii) the date that the Company’s stockholders approve a reverse stock split or an increase in the number of authorized shares of common stock of the Company in an amount sufficient to permit the exercise in full of all of the Warrants. As of September 3, 2020, the Company’s stockholders approved an increase in the number of authorized shares and as a result, the warrants become exercisable and will expire on September 3, 2025.   The placement agent in connection with the offering received a fee equal to 6.0% of the gross proceeds of the securities sold in the offering and reimbursement of certain out-of-pocket expenses. 

 

On September 22, 2020, the Company completed the closing of an underwritten public offering of 18,548,386 shares of common stock at a public offering price of $0.62 per share, which included 2,419,354 shares pursuant to the full exercise of the over-allotment option granted to the underwriters. Net proceeds were approximately $10.7 million, after deducting approximately $840,000 in underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by the Company.  

 

On September 29, 2020, the Company received a notice from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that for 30 consecutive business days, the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock was below $1.00 per share, which is the minimum required closing bid price for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant to Marketplace Rule 5550(a)(2). This notice has no immediate effect on the Company’s Nasdaq listing or the trading of its common stock. In accordance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule and 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has a period of 180 calendar days from the date of notification, or until March 29, 2021, to regain compliance. If at any time before March 29, 2021, the bid price of the Company’s common stock closes at or above $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, Nasdaq will provide written notification that the Company has achieved compliance with the minimum bid price requirement, and the matter would be resolved. The notice letter also disclosed that if the Company does not regain compliance within the initial compliance period, it may be eligible for an additional 180-day compliance period. To qualify for additional time, the Company would be required to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for The Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the bid price requirement, and would need to provide written notice of a plan to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period. If the Company meets these requirements, Nasdaq will inform the Company that it has been granted an additional 180 calendar days to regain compliance. However, if it appears to the staff of Nasdaq that the Company will not be able to cure the deficiency, or if the Company is otherwise not eligible, the staff would notify the Company that it will not be granted additional 180 days for compliance and will be subject to delisting at that time. In the event of such notification, the Company may appeal the staff’s determination to delist its securities. There are no assurances that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirements or will otherwise be in compliance with other Nasdaq listing rules.
