On September 6, 2018, the Company had filed a Current Report of Form 8-K wherein it initially disclosed that it had entered into a number of Securities Purchase Agreements (the “Purchase Agreement”) for the sale of 1,750,000 shares Common Stock at the purchase price of $1.80 per share. Subsequent to that filing, the Company received subscriptions for an additional 127,666 shares of Common Stock

 

The offer and sale of the Securities in the registered direct offering is registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3, as amended (File No. 333-225999), which became effective on July 11, 2018. Pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, the Company has filed a preliminary prospectus supplement and a final prospectus supplement in connection with the Offering.

 

As previously reported, the Company engaged Spartan Capital Securities, LLC (the “Placement Agent”), to act as its placement agent. The Company paid the Placement Agent (i) a cash placement fee of $195,461; and (ii) warrants (the “Placement Agent Warrants”) to purchase 56,330 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $2.25 per share. The Placement Agent Warrants shall not be exercisable or transferable for six months from the date of issuance, and further, the number of Shares underlying the Compensation Warrants shall be reduced if necessary to comply with FINRA rules or regulations.

 

The foregoing is only a summary of the material terms of the documents related to the Offering. The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Purchase Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, which is incorporated herein by reference.
