At-The-Market Offering
Increase
On
June 13, 2023, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 to Equity Distribution Agreement (“Amendment 1”) with Maxim Group
LLC (“Maxim”), amending the Equity Distribution Agreement, dated as of July 22, 2022, between the Company and Maxim (the “Original
Agreement” and, together with Amendment No. 1, the “Equity Distribution Agreement”), pursuant to which the aggregate
gross sales amount was increased from $25.0 million to approximately $27.4 million. Accordingly, pursuant to the Equity Distribution Agreement,
the Company may, from time to time, sell shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”),
having an aggregate gross sales amount of up to approximately $27.4 million through Maxim, as the Company’s sales agent. As of June
12, 2023, we have sold 25,538,424 shares of our Common Stock with an aggregate offering price of approximately $20.3 million, leaving
an aggregate offering price of up to approximately $7.1 million in Common Stock remaining under the Equity Distribution Agreement (the
“Shares”).
The
Shares have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to the Company’s
Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-256827), which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”)
on June 4, 2021, and declared effective on June 17, 2021 (the “Registration Statement”), and a base prospectus dated as of
June 17, 2021 included in the Registration Statement, the prospectus supplement relating to the offering filed with the SEC on July 22,
2022, a supplement to the prospectus supplement filed with the SEC on April 18, 2023, and a supplement to the prospectus supplement filed
with the SEC on June 13, 2023. Sales of the Shares through Maxim, if any, will be made by any method that is deemed an “at the market”
offering as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act, including sales made directly on the Nasdaq Capital Market, or any other existing
trading market for the Company’s Common Stock or to or through a market marker. Maxim may also sell the Shares by any other method
permitted by law, including in privately negotiated transactions. Maxim will also have the right, in its sole discretion, to purchase
Shares from the Company as principal for its own account at a price and subject to the other terms and conditions agreed upon at the time
of sale. Maxim will use its commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with its sales and trading practices, to solicit offers to purchase
the Shares under the terms and subject to the condition set forth in the Equity Distribution Agreement. We will pay Maxim commissions,
in cash, for its services in acting as agent in the sale of the Shares. In accordance with the Equity Distribution Agreement, Maxim will
be entitled to compensation at a fixed commission rate of 3.0% of the gross proceeds of each sale of Shares. In addition, the Company
has agreed to reimburse Maxim for its costs and out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with its services, including the fees and
out-of-pocket expenses of its legal counsel.
We
are not obligated to make any sales of the Shares under the Equity Distribution Agreement and no assurance can be given that we will sell
any additional Shares under the Equity Distribution Agreement, or if we do, as to the price or amount of Shares that we will sell, or
the dates on which any such sales will take place. The Equity Distribution Agreement will continue until the earliest of (i) December
31, 2023, (ii) the sale of Shares having an aggregate offering price of approximately $27.4 million, and (iii) the termination by either
Maxim or the Company upon the provision of 15 days written notice or otherwise pursuant to the terms of the Equity Distribution Agreement.
The
foregoing description of the Equity Distribution Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference
to the full text of the Original Agreement, which was filed as Exhibit 10.1 to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on July
22, 2022, and Amendment 1, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and are incorporated by reference herein.
This
Current Report on Form 8-K shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor shall there
be any sale of these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration
or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or other jurisdiction.
