On February 3, 2025, the Issuer entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Securities Purchase Agreement") with Dr. Springer, TAS and certain other institutional and accredited investors (the "Purchasers") in a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) as a transaction not involving a public offering and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D thereunder. Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Issuer agreed to issue and sell an aggregate of 3,689,465 shares of Common Stock (the "February 2025 Shares") for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $185.0 million (collectively, the "February 2025 Private Placement"). Dr. Springer and TAS purchased 129,294 and 660,000 shares of Common Stock, respectively, for aggregate purchase prices of $6,999,977.16 and $33,000,000.00, respectively. The closing of the February 2025 Private Placement occurred on February 5, 2025 (the "Closing Date"). The foregoing summary of the Securities Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Securities Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 99.6 to this Schedule 13D.
On February 3, 2025, in connection with the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Issuer entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the "Registration Rights Agreement") with the holders of Common Stock signatory thereto. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Issuer is required to prepare and file a resale registration statement with the SEC within 54 calendar days following the Closing Date with respect to the shares of Common Stock issued to the Purchasers pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement. The Issuer will use its reasonable best efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared effective by the SEC at the earliest possible date, but in any event no later than the earlier of (a) the 90th calendar day following the initial filing date or (b) the fifth business day after the date the Issuer is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the SEC that the registration statement will not be "reviewed" or will not be subject to further review. The Issuer has granted the Purchasers customary indemnification rights in connection with the registration statement. The Purchasers have also granted the Issuer customary indemnification rights in connection with the registration statement. The Issuer has agreed to be responsible for all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the registration of the February 2025 Shares. The foregoing summary of the Registration Rights Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Registration Rights Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 99.7 to this Schedule 13D. | |
