February 2024 Warrant Inducement Transaction

 

On February 14, 2024, we entered into a warrant inducement letter agreement (the “Inducement Agreement”) with the same institutional investor in the November 2023 Private Placement pursuant to which the investor agreed to exercise for cash the entirety of the Series B Warrant at an exercise price of $4.02 per share (with such exercise price being established for purposes of compliance with the listing rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market), resulting in gross proceeds to us of approximately $4.0 million. Pursuant to the Inducement Agreement, in consideration for the immediate exercise of the Series B Warrant in full, we agreed to issue to the investor, in a new private placement transaction (the “Inducement Transaction”): (i) a 5-year, Series B-1 Common Stock Purchase Warrant to purchase 735,296 shares of our Common Stock at an exercise price of $5.05 per share, and (ii) an 18-month, Series B-2 common stock purchase warrant to purchase 735,296 shares of our Common Stock at an exercise price of $5.05 per share (collectively, the “Inducement Warrants” and such aggregate 1,470,592 shares of our Common Stock underlying the Inducement Warrants, the “Inducement Warrant Shares”). The Inducement Warrants are identical to each other, other than their dates of expiration, and are substantially identical to the Series B Warrant. Issuance costs associated with the February inducement were approximately $0.3 million.

 

June 2024 Private Placement

 

On June 10, 2024 we entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “June 2024 SPA”) with V-CO Investors LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company (“V-CO”). V-CO is an affiliate of New Seneca Partners Inc., a Michigan corporation (“Seneca”) and an independent private equity firm. Pursuant to the SPA, we sold to V-CO in a private placement offering (the “2024 Private Placement”): (i) 169,498 shares (the “June 2024 SPA Shares”) of our Common Stock, (ii) a pre-funded warrant to purchase 3,050,768 shares of Common Stock (the “June 2024 SPA Pre-Funded Warrant”, with the shares of Common Stock underlying the June 2024 Pre-Funded Warrant being referred to as the “June 2024 SPA PFW Shares”), and (iii) a Common Stock Purchase Warrant to purchase up to 3,220,266 shares of Common Stock (the “June 2024 SPA Common Stock Purchase Warrant, and together with the June 2024 Pre-Funded Warrant, the “June 2024 SPA Warrants”, and with the shares of Common Stock underlying the June 2024 SPA Common Stock Purchase Warrant being referred to as the “June 2024 SPA Warrant Shares”).

 

 

V-CO paid a purchase price of $2.329 for each June 2024 SPA Share and June 2024 SPA Pre-Funded Warrant Share and associated June 2024 SPA Common Stock Purchase Warrant, with such price being established for purposes of compliance with the listing rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”). The 2024 Private Placement closed on September 10, 2024. We received gross proceeds of $7.5 million from the 2024 Private Placement. We intended to use the net proceeds from the 2024 Private Placement for general working capital and general corporate purposes. No placement agent was used in connection with the 2024 Private Placement. The June 2024 SPA Common Stock Purchase Warrant has a five-year term, an exercise price of $2.204 per share and became exercisable immediately as of the date of issuance. The June 2024 SPA Pre-Funded Warrant has a term ending on the complete exercise of the June 2024 SPA Pre-Funded Warrant, an exercise price of $0.0001 per share and became exercisable immediately as of the date of issuance. The June 2024 SPA Warrants also contain customary stock-based (but not price-based) anti-dilution protection as well as beneficial ownership limitations that may be waived at the option of each holder upon 61 days’ notice to the Company.

 

The June 2024 SPA provides that for a period of three (3) years from the closing of the 2024 Private Placement, Seneca shall be entitled to (i) receive notice of any regular or special meeting of our Board of Directors at the time such notice is provided to such members of the Board of Directors, (ii) receive copies of any materials delivered to our directors in connection with such meetings and (iii) allow one Seneca representative (who shall be an officer or employee of Seneca) to attend and participate (but not vote) in all such meetings of the Board of Directors. The June 2024 SPA also includes standard representations, warranties, indemnifications, and covenants of the Company and V-CO.

 

The terms of the June 2024 SPA required us to file a registration statement on Form S-3 or other appropriate form (the “June 2024 Resale Registration Statement”) registering the June 2024 SPA Shares, the June 2024 SPA PFW Shares and the June 2024 SPA Warrant Shares (collectively, the “June 2024 Registerable Securities”) for resale. Such June 2024 Resale Registration Statement was filed with the SEC on July 30, 2024 and was declared on August 7, 2024. Pursuant to the June 2024 SPA, we must also use commercially reasonable efforts to keep the June 2024 Resale Registration Statement continuously effective (including by filing a post-effective amendment to the Resale Registration Statement or a new registration statement if the June 2024 Resale Registration Statement expires) for a period of three (3) years after the date of effectiveness of the June 2024 Resale Registration Statement or for such shorter period as such securities no longer constitute June 2024 Registrable Securities, subject to certain limitations specified in the June 2024 SPA.

 

September 2024 Registered Direct Offering

 

On September 18, 2024, we entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “September 2024 Purchase Agreement”) with certain institutional investors in connection with a registered direct offering (the “September 2024 Offering”), priced at-the-market under Nasdaq rules, to purchase 1,363,812 shares (the “September 2024 Shares”) of our Common Stock at a purchase price of $3.15 per Share. No common stock purchase warrants were offered or issued to investors in the September 2024 Offering. The September 2024 Offering closed on September 20, 2024. H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC, pursuant to an engagement agreement with us, dated May 2, 2024 and amended on August 2, 2024 (as amended, the “Engagement Agreement”), acted as the exclusive placement agent (the “Placement Agent”) for the September 2024 Offering. Pursuant to the Engagement Agreement, we have paid the Placement Agent (i) a cash fee equal to 7.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds of the September 2024 Offering, and (ii) a management fee of 1.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds of the Offering. We have also agreed to reimburse the Placement Agent for certain expenses and legal fees. In addition, we issued to the Placement Agent, or its designees warrants (the “September 2024 Placement Agent Warrants”) to purchase up to 95,467 shares of Common Stock (or 7% of the number of September 2024 Shares sold in the September 2024 Offering) at an exercise price of $3.9375 per share of Common Stock, exercisable beginning upon issuance until five years from the commencement of sales in the September 2024 Offering.

 

The gross proceeds to us from the September 2024 Offering were approximately $4.3 million, before deducting the Placement Agent’s fees and other offering expenses payable by us. We intended to use the net proceeds from the offering for working capital and general corporate purposes.

Pursuant to the terms of the September 2024 Purchase Agreement, we agreed to certain restrictions on the issuance and sale of our shares of Common Stock and securities convertible into shares of Common Stock for a period of 30 days following the closing of the September 2024 Offering. We also agreed not to effect or agree to effect any Variable Rate Transaction (as defined in the September 2024 Purchase Agreement) until one year following the closing of the September 2024 Offering, subject to certain exceptions.

The combined purchase price per share for the December 2024 Warrants is $4.935. The December 2024 Warrants are immediately exercisable upon issuance, will expire two years following the issuance date and have an exercise price of $4.81 per share.

Such registration statement was subsequently declared effective on January 30, 2025.

 

 

Pursuant to the HCW Engagement Agreement dated May 2, 2024, as amended on August 2, 2024 and December 22, 2024 with us, HCW acted as the Placement Agent for the December 2024 Offering.

We registered the Common Stock underlying the December 2024 PA Warrants for public resale pursuant to the registration statement on S-1 (File No. 333-284399) filed on January 22, 2025 and declared defective on January 30, 2025.

June 2025 Private Placement

 

On June 9, 2025, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “June 2025 PIPE SPA”) with V-Co 2. V-Co 2 is an affiliate of Seneca. Pursuant to the June 2025 PIPE SPA, the Company sold to V-Co 2 in a private placement offering (the “June 2025 PIPE Offering”): (i) 828,000 shares (the “June 2025 PIPE Shares”) of Common Stock, (ii) a pre-funded warrant to purchase 725,258 shares of Common Stock (the “June 2025 Pre-Funded Warrant”, with the shares of Common Stock underlying the Pre-Funded Warrant being referred to as the “June 2025 PFW Shares”), and (iii) a Common Stock Purchase Warrant to purchase up to 2,329,886 shares of Common Stock (the “June 2025 Common Stock Purchase Warrant, and together with the Pre-Funded Warrant, the “June 2025 Warrants”, and with the shares of Common Stock underlying the Common Stock Purchase Warrant being referred to as the “June 2025 Warrant Shares”).

 

V-Co 2 paid a purchase price of $2.42 for each June 2025 PIPE Share and June 2025 Pre-Funded Warrant Share and associated June 2025 Common Stock Purchase Warrant, with such price being established for purposes of compliance with the listing rules of Nasdaq. The June 2025 PIPE Offering closed on June 9, 2025. We received $2.7 million in cash proceeds upon the closing of the June 2025 PIPE Offering. Additionally, the $1.1 million bridge note entered into by us and V-Co 2 on May 20, 2025, the terms of which were previously reported on Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 23, 2025, automatically converted into the June 2025 PIPE Offering, which we received total gross proceeds of $3.7 million upon conversion of the bridge note. The gross proceeds exclude an original issue discount of $0.1 million paid by us in connection with issuing the bridge note. We intended to use the net proceeds from the June 2025 PIPE Offering to support ourselves in connection with the Acquisition and for general working capital purposes. No placement agent was used in connection with the June 2025 PIPE Offering.

 

The June 2025 Common Stock Purchase Warrant has a term ending on or before June 9, 2029, an exercise price of $2.23 per share and became exercisable immediately as of the date of issuance. The June 2025 Pre-Funded Warrant has a term ending on the complete exercise of the June 2025 Pre-Funded Warrant, an exercise price of $0.0001 per share and became exercisable immediately as of the date of issuance. The June 2025 Warrants also contain customary stock-based (but not price-based) anti-dilution protection as well as beneficial ownership limitations preventing Seneca or its affiliates from exercising the June 2025 Warrants if such exercise would result in Seneca or its affiliates from owning in excess of 19.99% of the then outstanding Common Stock.

 

We agreed to file a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the resale of the June 2025 Warrants with 45 calendar days following the closing of the June 2025 SPA and to use commercially reasonable effort to cause the registration statement to be declared effective by the SEC within 90 days of the closing of the June 2025 SPA. Subsequently, pursuant to an amendment to the June 2025 PIPE SPA, dated July 24, 2025, we and V-Co 2 agreed to extend the respective date for which we must file the registration statement and cause such registration statement to be declared effective by 30 days.
