“On July 15, 2022, Acuitas and the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”). A copy of the Securities Purchase Agreement and related Form of Common Stock Purchase Warrant are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.6 and 10.7, respectively. Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions contained therein, the Company agreed to issue and sell to Acuitas, and Acuitas agreed to purchase from the Company, in a private placement, (i) an aggregate of 3,636,364 shares (the “PIPE Shares”) of Common Stock at a price of $1.65 per share, and (ii) a warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase 7,272,728 shares of Common Stock (the “Warrant Shares”) at an exercise price of $1.82, with a term of exercise of five years. The aggregate purchase price for the PIPE Shares and Warrant (collectively, the “Securities”) sold in the Private Placement was approximately $6.0 million.
The transactions contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement are expected to close on or about August 15, 2022, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. Immediately following the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement and assuming no issuances of Common Stock by the Company prior to the closing, the Reporting Persons will beneficially own 30,438,938 shares of Common Stock, which includes 7,272,728 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant, representing approximately 84.8% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock immediately following the closing.
The Securities Purchase Agreement includes representations, warranties, and covenants customary for a transaction of this type. In addition, the Company agreed to indemnify Acuitas from liabilities relating to the Company’s breach of any of the representations, warranties and covenants in the Purchase Agreement. Upon the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company and Acuitas will amend and restate that certain Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of June 10, 2021, by and between the Company and Acuitas (the “Existing Registration Rights Agreement”), to amend the definition of “Registrable Securities” in the Existing Registration Rights Agreement to include the PIPE Shares and the Warrant Shares as Registrable Securities thereunder.
The foregoing description of the Securities Purchase Agreement and Warrant is not complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Securities Purchase Agreement and the Form of Warrant, respectively, copies of which are attached as Exhibits 10.6 and 10.7 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.”
