On July 22, 2024, we issued 40,000 restricted shares of our common stock to Knight Therapeutics International S.A. (formerly known as Knight Therapeutics (Barbados) Inc.) (“Knight”) upon conversion of 1,291 shares of Series A Preferred Stock.

On July 26, 2024, we issued 33,334 restricted shares of our common stock to Knight upon conversion of 1,032 shares of Series A Preferred Stock.

The issuances of shares of common stock listed above were deemed exempt from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act or Regulation D promulgated thereunder in that the issuance of securities did not involve a public offering.

Securities Purchase Agreement

On September 4, 2024, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with an institutional investor (the “Purchaser”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell in a private placement offering (the “Private Placement”) (i) an aggregate of 2,898,551 pre-funded warrants (the “Pre-funded Warrants”), each having the right to purchase one share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), at a price per Pre-funded Warrant equal to $1.379, the per share Purchase Price (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) less $0.001, the exercise price of the Pre-funded Warrants, (ii) series A warrants to purchase up to 2,898,551 shares of Common Stock (“Series A Warrants”) and series B warrants to purchase up to 2,898,551 shares of Common Stock (“Series B Warrants” and, collectively with Series A Warrants, the “Common Warrants”) for gross proceeds of approximately $4 million, before the deduction of placement agent fees and offering expenses. The closing of the Private Placement occurred on September 5, 2024.

The Pre-funded Warrants were sold, at the Purchaser’s election, to such Purchaser whose purchase of shares of Common Stock in the Private Placement would otherwise result in such Purchaser, together with its affiliates and certain related parties, beneficially own more than 4.99% (or, at such Purchaser’s option upon issuance 9.99%) of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock immediately following the consummation of the Private Placement. The Pre-Funded Warrants have an exercise price of $0.001 per share, will become exercisable upon issuance and remain exercisable until exercised in full.

The Common Warrants have an exercise price of $1.38 per share and will be exercisable beginning on the effective date of stockholder approval of the issuance of the shares of common stock upon exercise of the Common Warrants, which is November 6, 2024 (the “Stockholder Approval”). The Series A Warrants will expire five years from Stockholder Approval and the Series B Warrants will expire eighteen (18) months from Stockholder Approval.

A holder of a Common Warrant or Pre-funded Warrant will not have the right to exercise any portion of its warrants if the holder, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (or 9.99% at the election of the holder prior to the date of issuance) of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise (the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”); provided, however, that upon sixty (60) days’ prior notice to the Company, the holder may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, provided that in no event shall the Beneficial Ownership Limitation exceed 9.99%.

H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC (“Placement Agent”) acted as the exclusive placement agent in connection with the Private Placement under an engagement letter, dated August 30, 2024, as amended, between the Company and the Placement Agent (the “Engagement Letter”). Pursuant to the Engagement Letter, the Company agreed to pay the Placement Agent a cash fee equal to 7.5% of the aggregate gross proceed of the Private Placement and a management fee of 1.0% of the aggregate gross exercise price paid in cash with respect thereto. The Company also agreed to pay the Placement Agent $85,000 for non-accountable expenses. The Company also issued to Wainwright (or its designees) warrants (the “Placement Agent Warrants”) to purchase up to 217,391 shares of Common. The Placement Agent Warrants have an exercise price equal to $1.725 per share and are exercisable beginning on the effective date of the Stockholder Approval for five years from Stockholder Approval.

The Pre-Funded Warrants, Common Warrants and Placement Agent Warrants and the shares of our Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants, Common Warrants and Placement Agent Warrants have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), were not offered pursuant to the Registration Statement and were offered pursuant to the exemption provided in Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act and Rule 506(b) promulgated thereunder.

The Company agreed to indemnify the Placement Agent against certain liabilities relating to or arising out of the Placement Agent’s activities under the Engagement Letter and to contribute to payments that the Placement Agent may be required to make in respect of such liabilities.

The Company currently intends to use the proceeds from the Private Placement of approximately $4.0 million in gross proceeds, before deducting the placement agent’s fees and other offering expenses payable by the Company, and excluding the proceeds, if any, from the exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants and Common Warrants, for working capital, general operations, commercialization activities related to Arakoda, and the Company’s research and development program.

Based in part upon the representations of the Purchaser in the Securities Purchase Agreement, the offering and sale of the securities issued in the Private Placement is exempt from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act and corresponding provisions of state securities or “blue sky” laws.

Registration Right Agreement

In connection with the Private Placement, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with the Purchaser, pursuant to which, among other things, the Company is required to prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) one or more registration statements to register for resale the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Common Warrants and the Pre-Funded Warrants (the “Warrant Shares”). The Company is required to use best efforts to have such registration statement(s) (collectively, the “Registration Statement”) declared effective as promptly as possible thereafter, and in any event no later than 45 days following September 4, 2024, or, in the event of a “full review” by the SEC, 75 days following the date such additional Registration Statement is required to be filed hereunder.

Subsequently, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-282221) on September 19, 2024, which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 30, 2024 (the “Registration Statement”). The Registration Statement covered the resale of shares of common stock underlying the Pre-Funded Warrants, Common Warrants and Placement Agent Warrants.
