Securities Purchase Agreement; Pre-Funded Warrants; Private Placement Warrants

 

On September 6, 2022, the Issuer entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with Vedanta Associates -R and Beta Operators. Pursuant to the Private Placement Purchase Agreement, in a concurrent private placement the Issuer agreed to sell and issue to Vedanta Associates -R and Beta Operators the Pre-Funded Warrants and the Private Placement Warrants for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $3.5 million.

The Private Placement Warrants are immediately exercisable at an exercise price of $2.40 per share and will expire on September 8, 2027.

 

Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Issuer has agreed to file a registration statement covering the resale of the shares of Common Stock underlying the Pre-Funded Warrants and the Private Placement Warrants within 30 days of the date of the Securities Purchase Agreement. The Issuer must use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective within 60 days (90 days if such registration statement is reviewed by the SEC) following the filing of such registration statement and to keep such registration statement effective at all times until the Investors (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) no longer own any Pre-Funded Warrants, Private Placement Warrants or any shares of Common Stock that may be issued upon exercise thereof.

 

The Securities Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements of the Issuer and the Investors and customary indemnification rights and obligations of the parties. Pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Issuer has agreed to certain restrictions on the issuance and sale of its Common Stock and securities convertible into shares of Common Stock during the 90-day period following the closing of the Private Placements. In addition, the Issuer has agreed not to effect or enter into an agreement to effect any issuance of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock involving a variable rate transaction (as defined in the Purchase Agreements) until the 180-day anniversary of the closing of Private Placement.

 

The foregoing description of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Pre-Funded Warrants and the Private Placement Warrants does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the form of Pre-Funded Warrant and the form of Private Placement Warrant, which are filed as Exhibits 1,2 and 3 and incorporated herein by reference.
