Item 9B. Other Information
(a)
SEPA
On August 28, 2024, the Company entered into the SEPA with YA Fund, which was amended on August 29, 2024. Pursuant to the SEPA, subject to certain conditions and limitations, the Company has the option, but not the obligation, to sell to YA Fund, and YA Fund must subscribe for, an aggregate amount of up to $250.0 million of common stock, at the Company’s request any time during the commitment period commencing on September 30, 2024 (the “Effective Date”) and terminating on the first day of the month next following the 36-month anniversary of the Effective Date; provided, that there is an effective resale registration statement on file with the SEC covering the shares of common stock issued and issuable under the SEPA.
In connection with the execution of the SEPA, the Company agreed to pay a structuring fee (in cash) to YA Fund in the amount of $25,000. Additionally, the Company agreed to pay a commitment fee of $2,125,000 to YA Fund, payable on the date of the SEPA, in the form of the issuance of 456,287 shares of common stock (the “Commitment Shares”), representing $2,125,000 divided by the average of the daily VWAPs of the common stock during the three trading days immediately prior to August 28, 2024.
Each advance (each, an “Advance”) the Company requests in writing to YA Fund under the SEPA (notice of such request, an “Advance Notice”) may be for a number of shares of common stock up to such amount as is equal to 100% of the average daily volume traded of the common stock during the five trading days immediately prior to the date the Company requests each Advance. At the Company's option, the shares of common stock purchased pursuant to an Advance delivered by the Company will be purchased at a price equal to (i) 96% of the VWAP of the common stock on the applicable date of delivery of the Advance Notice during regular trading hours on such date (the "Option 1 Market Price") or (ii) 97% of the lowest daily VWAP of the common stock during the three consecutive trading days commencing on the date of the delivery of the Advance Notice (the "Option 2 Market Price"), other than the daily VWAP on a day in which the daily VWAP is less than a minimum acceptable price as stated by the Company in the Advance Notice or there is no VWAP on the subject trading day. The Company may establish a minimum acceptable price in each Advance Notice in which the Company elects to use the Option 2 Market Price below which the Company will not be obligated to make any sales to YA Fund. “VWAP” is defined as the daily volume weighted average price of the shares of common stock for such trading day on Nasdaq during regular trading hours as reported by Bloomberg L.P.
The SEPA will automatically terminate on the earliest to occur of (i) the first day of the month next following the 36-month anniversary of the Effective Date or (ii) the date on which the Company shall have made full payment of Advances pursuant to the SEPA. The Company has the right to terminate the SEPA at no cost or penalty upon five trading days’ prior written notice to YA Fund, provided that there are no outstanding Advance Notices for which shares of common stock need to be issued. The Company and YA Fund may also agree to terminate the SEPA by mutual written consent.
Any purchase under an Advance would be subject to certain limitations, including that YA Fund shall not purchase or acquire any shares that would result in it and its affiliates beneficially owning more than 4.99% of the then outstanding voting power or number of shares of common stock or any shares that, aggregated with shares issued under the SEPA, the March PPA or the May PPA, would exceed 19.99% of all shares of common stock outstanding on March 26, 2024 (the “Exchange Cap”), unless the Company obtains stockholder approval to issue shares of common stock in excess of the Exchange Cap in accordance with applicable Nasdaq rules.
Pursuant to the SEPA, the Company agreed to file a resale registration statement with the SEC for the resale under the Securities Act by YA Fund of the common stock issued under the SEPA, including the Commitment Shares. The Company shall not have the ability to request any Advances until such resale registration statement is declared effective by the SEC.
