Common Stock

February 2024 Issuance of Common Stock and Pre-Funded Common Stock Warrants

On February 13, 2024, the Company consummated a public offering (the “February 2024 Public Offering”) of 158,227 units (the “February Units”) and 867,373 pre-funded units (the “February Pre-Funded Units”). Each February Unit was issued at $9.75 per unit and included one share of common stock and one common stock warrant (the “February Common Warrants”) exercisable for one share of common stock at a $9.75 exercise price. Each February Pre-Funded Unit was issued at $9.735 per unit and included one pre-funded common stock warrant (the “February Pre-Funded Warrants”), exercisable for one share of common stock at an initial exercise price of $0.015 and one February Common Warrant. The gross proceeds from the issuance of the February Units and the February Pre-Funded Units were $1.5 million and $8.4 million, respectively, for total aggregate proceeds of $10.0 million before broker fees and related expenses of approximately $998,000. As a result of certain price protection clauses, the February Common Warrants did not meet the criteria for equity classification and thus are subject to liability treatment. Accordingly, of the $10 million gross proceeds from the February 2024 Public Offering, an amount of $6.3 million, representing the fair value of the February Common Warrants as of the issuance date was allocated to the February Common Warrants liability, with the residual proceeds of $3.7 million allocated to the common stock and February Pre-Funded Warrants, which met the criteria for equity classification.

Of the gross broker fees and related expenses of approximately $998,000, the Company allocated $368,000 to the issued common stock and February Pre-Funded Warrants, which were recorded as a reduction of additional paid-in-capital. The remaining issuance cost of $630,000 was allocated to the February Common Warrants and was expensed on the date of issuance as such warrants were recorded at fair value.

Total proceeds per the Securities Purchase Agreement amounted to $2.3 million before broker fees and other related expenses of approximately $388,000. As a result of certain price protection clauses, the March Common Warrants did not meet the criteria for equity classification and thus are subject to liability treatment. Accordingly, of the $2.3 million gross proceeds from the March public offering, an amount of $1.2 million, representing the fair value of the March Common Warrants as of the issuance date was allocated to the March Common Warrants liability, with the residual proceeds of $1.1 million allocated to the common stock and March Pre-Funded Warrants, which met the criteria for equity classification.

Of the gross broker fees and related expenses of approximately $388,000, the Company allocated $181,000 to the issued common stock and the March Pre-Funded Warrants, which were recorded as a reduction of additional paid-in-capital.
