Note 2 – Stockholders’ Equity

 

Preferred Stock

 

There were no issued or outstanding shares of preferred stock at either March 31, 2023 or December 31, 2022.

 

Common Stock

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we issued 8,432,192 shares of our common stock through several fundraising efforts.

 

ATM Offering

 

On August 20, 2021, we entered into the Sales Agreement with Oppenheimer & Co. Inc. (the “Sales Agent”) under which we may issue and sell up to $30.0 million from time to time under the ATM Offering. We expect to use net proceeds from the ATM Offering over time as a source for working capital and general corporate purposes. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we sold 569,648 shares at an average price of $1.22 per share for aggregate gross proceeds of $693,000 (net proceeds of $672,000) prior to deducting sales commissions. On February 5, 2023, in connection with our Registered Direct Offering, we suspended the Sales Agreement with the Sales Agent, but we expect to reinstate it during 2023.

 

Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC Purchase Agreement

 

On March 23, 2022, we entered into the Purchase Agreement with Lincoln Park, pursuant to which Lincoln Park has committed to purchase up to $15.0 million of shares (the “Purchase Shares”) of our common stock, subject to the terms and conditions in the Purchase Agreement with Lincoln Park, including that the closing sale price of the common stock on the purchase date is not below a threshold price of $1.00. Any proceeds that we receive under the Purchase Agreement are expected to be used for working capital and general corporate purposes. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we sold 50,000 shares at an average price of $1.08 per share for aggregate gross proceeds of $54,000 under the Purchase Agreement with Lincoln Park.

 

Registered Direct Offering

 

On February 14, 2023, we closed a registered direct offering (the “Offering”) for the sale of 7,812,544 shares of common stock at a purchase price of $0.80 per share for gross proceeds of $6.3 million (net proceeds of $5.6 million). The Purchase Agreement provides that, subject to certain exceptions, until the earlier of (i) 90 days after the closing of the Offering or (ii) the trading day following the date that our common stock’s closing price exceeds $2.00 for a period of 10 consecutive trading days, neither we nor our subsidiary will issue or enter into any agreement to issue or announce the issuance or proposed issuance of any shares of common stock or common stock equivalents.

 

We paid the Placement Agent a cash fee of 8.0% of the gross proceeds from the Offering, excluding proceeds received from our insiders, and reimbursed the Placement Agent for legal fees of $60,000. The engagement agreement with the Placement Agent requires us to indemnify the Placement Agent and certain of its affiliates against certain customary liabilities. On February 14, 2023, we amended our consulting agreement with Spartan originally entered into on August 24, 2022, extending the term of the consulting agreement until February 10, 2024. As compensation for services under the agreement, on April 17, 2023, we granted Spartan a warrant to purchase 3,160,130 shares of our common stock with an exercise price of $1.02. The warrant will expire three years from the date of issuance and contains both call and cashless exercise provisions.
