AMENDMENTS TO CERTAIN MAY 2018 PREFERRED STOCK WARRANTS

 

On September 25, 2019, in connection with the securities purchase agreements the Company entered into with certain institutional and accredited investors dated September 23, 2019, we filed a prospectus supplement (the “Registered Direct Prospectus Supplement”) and the accompanying base prospectus with the SEC under our registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-221684) in accordance with Rule 424(b)(5) of the Securities Act. Pursuant to the securities purchase agreements and the Registered Direct Prospectus Supplement, the Company offered 2,198,938 shares of our common stock, at a purchase price of $1.60 per share of common stock (the “Registered Direct Offering”). The Registered Direct Offering is anticipated to close on or about September 25, 2019, subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions.

 

Each investor in the Registered Direct Offering is a holder of the May 2018 Preferred Stock Warrants and/or a holder of warrants to purchase shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock issued on February 12, 2018 (the “February 2018 Preferred Stock Warrants”). In connection with the Registered Direct Offering, the Company has agreed that such investor may choose to amend either the such investor’s February 2018 Preferred Stock Warrants, or such investor’s May 2018 Preferred Stock Warrants.

 

This Supplement is being filed to disclose the following:

 

To the extent an investor chose to amend such investor’s May 2018 Preferred Stock Warrants, then for each share of common stock the investor purchased in the Registered Direct Offering, (1) the exercise price of the investor’s May 2018 Preferred Stock Warrant to purchase one share of common stock on an as-exercised and as-converted basis will be reduced from $0.425 per 0.025 share of Series B Preferred Stock to $0.10667 per 0.025 share of Series B Preferred Stock which, on an as-converted basis, which equals to $1.60 per share of common stock, and (2) the expiration date of such May 2018 Preferred Stock Warrant will be extended to December 31, 2022.  The price for amending the May 2018 Preferred Stock Warrants was $0.125 per share (on an as-converted basis per share of common stock).  As of the date hereof, May 2018 Preferred Stock Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 677,289 shares of Series B Preferred Stock, or 1,806,104 shares of common stock on an as-converted basis, were amended accordingly.
