Note 13 – Subsequent Events

On October 26, 2023, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with a single institutional accredited investor (the “Investor”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell, in a registered direct offering priced at-the-market under the rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market (the “Registered Offering”), (i) 920,000 shares of its common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, at a price per share of $1.70 and (ii) pre-funded warrants (the “Pre-funded Warrants”) to purchase up to 1,668,236 shares of its common stock, at a price per Pre-funded Warrant equal to $1.699, the price per Share, less $0.001. The Pre-funded Warrants have an exercise price of $0.001 per share, became exercisable upon issuance and remain exercisable until exercised in full.

The Pre-funded Warrants were sold, in lieu of shares of Common Stock, to the Investor whose purchase of shares of Common Stok in the Registered Offering would otherwise result in such Investor, together with its affiliates and certain related parties, beneficially owning more than 4.99% (or, at such Investor’s option upon issuance 9.99%) of the Company’s outstanding common stock immediately following the consumption of the Registered Offering. The Pre-funded Warrants have an exercise price of $0.001 per share, became exercisable upon issuance and remain exercisable until exercised in full.

The Registered Offering closed on October 30, 2023. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Registered Offering for general corporate purposes and working capital requirements, which may include, among other things, the advancement of its product candidates to obtain regulatory approval from the FDA.

In a concurrent private placement, pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company also agreed to issue and sell unregistered warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase up to 2,588,236 shares of its common stock, at an offering price of $0.125 per Warrant to purchase one share of common stock (the “Private Placement” and, together with the Registered Offering, the “Offerings”) (which offering price is included in the purchase price per Share or Pre-funded warrant). The Warrants have an exercise price of $1.58 per share (subject to customary adjustments as set forth in the Warrants), are exercisable upon issuance and will expire five and one-half years from the date of issuance. The Warrants contain customary anti-dilution adjustments to the exercise price, including for share splits, share dividends, rights offering and pro rata distributions.

The Private Placement also closed on October 30, 2023, concurrently with the Registered Offering. The Company received approximately $4.4 million in gross proceeds from the Offerings, before deducting placement agency fees and offering expenses of approximately $0.5 million.
