AMENDMENTS TO EXISTING WARRANTS
This Supplement is being filed to disclose the following:
On May 1, 2023, we entered into a securities purchase agreement entered with a single institutional investor (the “Registered Direct Offering”), and the accompanying base prospectus under our registration statement on Form S-1 (Registration No. 333-271190). In connection with the Registered Direct Offering, the Company entered into a warrant amendment agreement (the “Warrant Amendment Agreement”) with the purchaser in the Registered Direct Offering under which the Company agreed to amend certain outstanding warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 6,396,903 shares of common stock that were previously issued in 2018, 2021, 2022 and 2023 to the purchaser, with exercise prices ranging from $2.65 to $7.54 per share, in consideration for their purchase of approximately $3.5 million of common stock in the Registered Direct Offering.
Under the Warrant Amendment Agreement, with respect to Existing Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 6,396,903 shares of common stock held by the institutional investor in the Registered Direct Offering and covered by the Warrant Amendment Agreement, the Company agreed to (i) lower the exercise price of such Existing Warrants to $0.7785 per share, (ii) provide that such Existing Warrants, as amended, will not be exercisable until the receipt of stockholder approval for the exercisability of the common stock purchase warrants issued to the Investor in the Registered Direct Offering and (iii) extend the original expiration date of such Existing Warrants to five years following the closing of the Registered Direct Offering. These amendments will become effective on the closing of the Registered Direct Offering, when each investor has satisfied its purchase commitment to the Company, which is expected to occur on May 4, 2023.
