announced today it has entered into warrant exercise agreements
with three existing accredited investors to exercise certain
outstanding warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2,438,473 of the
Company’s shares of common stock (the “Existing Warrants”). In
consideration for the immediate exercise in full of the Existing
Warrants for gross cash proceeds of approximately $1.4 million, the
exercising holders will receive in a private placement new
unregistered warrants (the “New Warrants”) to purchase up to an
aggregate of 2,926,168 shares of common stock (equal to 120% of the
shares of common stock issued in connection with the exercise of
the Existing Warrants) with an exercise price of $0.85 per share.
The New Warrants are initially exercisable on the date that
stockholder approval of the exercise of the New Warrants is
obtained and will expire five years from the date of such approval.
In connection with the exercise of the Existing Warrants, the
Company agreed to reduce the exercise price of the Existing
Warrants from $1.50 to $0.58 per share. The exercise of the
Existing Warrants and the issuance of the New Warrants are expected
to occur on February 25, 2025.
The closing of the offering is expected to occur on or about
February 26, 2025, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing
conditions. The gross proceeds from the warrant inducement are
expected to be approximately $1.4 million, excluding any proceeds
that may be received upon the exercise of the New Warrants and
before deducting placement agent fees and other offering expenses
payable by the Company.
WallachBeth Capital is acting as sole placement agent for the
for the warrant inducement transaction.
