Item 3.02 Unregistered Sale of Securities.

 

On June 15, 2023, we entered into agreements with certain institutional and accredited investors calling for the purchase and sale of 420,000 shares of our common stock, $0.01 par value, at a purchase price of $6.00 per share. The stock issuance is expected to close on June 20, 2023, at which time we expect to receive gross proceeds of approximately $2.52 million before deducting placement agent commissions and other estimated offering expenses. A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners is acting as the sole placement agent for this private placement.

 

In conjunction with the placement, we also entered into a registration rights agreement with the investors, whereby we are obligated to file a registration statement with the Securities Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), by (subject to exceptions) the 20th day after the June 20, 2023 closing date. We will incur certain penalties if the registration statement has not been filed by the applicable deadline or if the registration statement has not been declared effective by the Commission by (subject to exceptions) the 75th day after the applicable filing deadline.

 

The offer and sale of these shares of common stock are exempt from registration under the 1933 Act pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) thereof and Rule 506 of Regulation D, inasmuch as all of the purchasers are accredited investors within the meaning of Rule 501(a) of Regulation D, no general solicitation or advertising of any kind was used in connection with the offering, and the offering was made only to a limited number of offerees who each were believed to be knowledgeable and sophisticated investors. Until registered, the shares so issued will be considered “restricted securities” and thus generally may not be offered or sold by the holders in the absence of an exemption from securities registration requirements.

 

The agreements with the investors contain a representation from us to the effect that there have been no material adverse developments with respect to the Company since the date of filing of our most recent report on Form 10-Q.
