The notes mature on June 30, 2026, and are convertible at any time into up to 1,730,104 shares of common stock at a fixed price of $1.156 per share. If, at any time while the convertible notes remain outstanding, the Company issues shares of common stock or common stock equivalents in an offering for gross proceeds of at least $5.0 million (a “Subsequent Issuance”), the entire unpaid principal amount of the convertible notes will convert automatically into the same securities issued pursuant to the Subsequent Issuance. In connection with the notes, investors also received five-year warrants to purchase 865,052 shares of common stock at the same $1.156 exercise price, providing approximately $50,000 in additional cash proceeds.

 

These notes were subsequently converted into shares of non-voting convertible preferred stock and warrants in connection with the private placement described below.

 

The Company’s Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Richard Kenney, participated in the private placement and purchased notes for a principal amount of $0.2 million and warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 86,505 shares of common stock. As described below, the notes converted into shares of non-voting convertible preferred stock, which are convertible into an aggregate of 160,000 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 320,000 shares of common stock.
