2022 Lincoln Park Transaction

 

On August 10, 2022, the Company entered into a purchase agreement (the “LP 2022 Purchase Agreement”) and a registration rights agreement (the “LP 2022 Registration Rights Agreement”) with Lincoln Park, pursuant to which the Company could sell and issue to Lincoln Park, and Lincoln Park was obligated to purchase, up to $25,000,000 in value of its shares of the Company’s common stock from time to time over a 36-month period.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company did not sell shares of common stock under the LP 2022 Purchase Agreement. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company sold 175,000 shares of its common stock at prices ranging between $2.54 and $3.06 and received proceeds of $495,000.

  

Series C Convertible Preferred Stock

 

On November 6, 2024, the Company received a letter (the “Letter”) from the Listing Qualifications staff (the “Staff”) of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that the Staff has determined that the Company violated Nasdaq’s voting rights rule set forth in Listing Rule 5640 (the “Voting Rights Rule”) due to the Company’s filing of shareholder-approved amendments to the Company’s articles of incorporation modifying the terms of the Company’s Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series C”) to increase the number of votes per share of common stock the Series C is convertible into (i) from three votes per share to five votes per share, filed on September 29, 2022 (the “2022 Amendment”) and (ii) from five votes per share to ten votes per share, filed on September 25, 2024 (the “2024 Amendment” and, together with the 2022 Amendment, the “Amendments”).  

 

As agreed with the Nasdaq, on January 21, 2025, the Company held a special shareholder meeting and the shareholders approved the adoption of the Articles of Amendment that would modify the terms of the Series C to decrease the number of votes per share of common stock the Series C is convertible into from ten votes per share to three votes per share. On January 24, 2025, the Company filed those Articles of Amendment to its Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Florida.
