Notes to Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTE 1 –GENERAL

A. Description of business

Microbot Medical Inc. (the “Company”) is a pre-clinical medical device company specializing in the research, design, and development of next generation robotic endoluminal surgery devices targeting the minimally invasive surgery space. The Company is primarily focused on leveraging its micro-robotic technologies with the goal of redefining surgical robotics while improving surgical outcomes for patients.

The Company incorporated on August 2, 1988 in the State of Delaware under the name Cellular Transplants, Inc. The original Certificate of Incorporation was restated on February 14, 1992 to change the name of the Company to Cyto Therapeutics, Inc. On May 24, 2000, the Certificate of Incorporation as restated was further amended to change the name of the Company to StemCells, Inc.

On November 28, 2016, the Company consummated a transaction pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated August 15, 2016, with Microbot Medical Ltd., a private medical device company organized under the laws of the State of Israel (“Microbot Israel”). On the same day and in connection with the Merger, the Company changed its name from StemCells, Inc. to Microbot Medical Inc. On November 29, 2016, the Company’s common stock began trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “MBOT”.

The Company and its subsidiary are sometimes collectively referred to as the “Company” as the context may require.

B. Risk Factors

Going Concern

To date, the Company has not generated revenues from its operations. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had cash equivalents and marketable securities balance of approximately $6,462, excluding restricted cash. Due to continuing research and development activities, the Company expects to continue to incur additional losses for the foreseeable future, as well as to seek to raise additional funds through future issuances of either debt and/or equity securities and possibly additional grants from government institutions. The Company will require additional capital and its ability to raise additional capital in the equity and debt markets is dependent on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the market demand for the Company’s stock, which itself is subject to a number of development and business risks and uncertainties, as well as the uncertainty that the Company would be able to raise such additional capital at a price or on terms that are favorable to the Company.

Accordingly, these conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

War in Israel

On October 7, 2023, the State of Israel, where the Company’s operations are primarily based, suffered a surprise attack by hostile forces from Gaza, which led to ongoing military operations and armed conflicts in the Gaza Strip. It continues to evolve and has since spread to northern Israel and threatens to spread to other Middle Eastern countries including Lebanon and Iran. These military operations and related activities are on-going as of the issuance date of these financial statements.

The Company has considered various ongoing risks relating to the military operation and related matters, including:

●That some of the Company’s Israeli subcontractors, vendors, suppliers and other companies in which the Company relies, are currently only partially active, as instructed by the relevant authorities; and
●A slowdown in the number of international flights in and out of Israel.

The Company is closely monitoring how the military operation and related activities could adversely affect its anticipated milestones and its Israel-based activities to support future clinical and regulatory milestones, including the Company’s ability to import materials that are required to construct the Company’s devices and to ship them outside of Israel. As of the filing date of the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q of which these financial statements are a part, the Company has determined that there have not been any materially adverse effects on its business or operations, but it continues to monitor the situation, as any future escalation or change could result in a material adverse effect on the ability of the Company’s Israeli office to support the Company’s clinical and regulatory activities. The Company does not have any specific contingency plans in the event of any such escalation or change.

C. Unaudited Interim Condensed Financial Statements

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim condensed financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regulations. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments except as otherwise discussed). These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the latest audited financial statements.

Operating results for the six-month period ended June 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024.

NOTE 2 -SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The significant accounting policies followed in the preparation of these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements are identical to those applied in the preparation of the Company’s latest annual audited financial statements, except if noted below.

Use of estimates:

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions pertaining to transactions and matters whose ultimate effect on the financial statements cannot precisely be determined at the time of financial statements preparation. Although these estimates are based on management’s best judgment, actual results may differ from these estimates.

Fair value of financial instruments:

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, other receivables and other accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.

A fair value hierarchy is used to rank the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value will be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

Level 1- Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

Level 2- Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities, unadjusted quoted prices in the markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3- Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The following tables summarizes the Company’s financial assets subject to fair value measurement and the level of inputs used in such measurements as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

Total · Level 1 · Level 2 · Level 3
Money market mutual funds$3,997$3,997$-$-
Total · Level 1 · Level 2 · Level 3
Marketable securities:
U.S. treasury securities$2,497$2,497$-$-
Money market mutual funds1,4201,420--
$3,917$3,917$-$-

The Company’s financial assets are measured at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy. The Company’s securities and money market funds are classified as Level 1. Other than that, the Company doesn’t have any other financial assets or financial liabilities marked to market at fair value as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Share-based compensation:

The Company applies ASC 718-10, “Share-Based Payment” (“ASC 718-10”), which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expenses for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors including stock options under the Company’s stock plans based on estimated fair values.

ASC 718-10 requires companies to estimate the fair value of stock options using an option-pricing model, which is recognized as an expense over the requisite service periods in the Company’s statement of comprehensive loss, based on a straight-line method. The Company recognizes compensation cost for an equity classified award with only service conditions that has a graded vesting schedule on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award, provided that the cumulative amount of compensation cost recognized at any date at least equals the portion of the grant date fair value of such award that is vested at that date.

The Company recognizes the expense for an equity classified awards subject to performance-based milestone vesting over the remaining service period when management determines that achievement of the milestone is probable. Management evaluates when the achievement of a performance-based milestone is probable based on the expected satisfaction of the performance conditions at each reporting date. If no explicit service period is determined, the Company estimates the implicit service period based on the timing the employee is expected to achieve the related performance condition.

When no future services are required to be performed by the grantee in exchange for an award of equity instruments, and if such award does not contain a performance or market condition, the cost of the award is expensed on the grant date.

The Company estimates the fair value of stock options granted as share-based payment awards using a Black-Scholes options pricing model. The option-pricing model requires a number of assumptions, of which the most significant are expected volatility and the expected option term (the time from the grant date until the options are exercised or expire). Expected volatility is estimated based on the standard deviation of the Company’s closing prices according to the expected life (SAB107) for each of the grants. The Company has historically not paid dividends and has no foreseeable plans to issue dividends. The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield from governmental zero-coupon bonds with an equivalent term.

The expected stock option term is calculated for stock options granted using the “simplified” method for awards that qualify as “plain-vanilla” options. Changes in the determination of each of the inputs can affect the fair value of the stock options granted and the results of operations of the Company.

Contingencies:

Management records and discloses legal contingencies in accordance with ASC Topic 450 Contingencies. A provision is recorded when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company monitors the stage of progress of its litigation matters to determine if any adjustments are required.

The Company carries liability insurance to mitigate its exposure to losses, including litigation losses. The Company records the estimated amount of expected insurance proceeds for litigation losses incurred as an asset (typically a receivable from the insurer) and offset to losses up to the amount of the losses incurred when the amount is determinable and approved by the insurance company.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements:

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or other standard setting bodies and adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations upon adoption.

Segment Reporting

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, to update reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The amendment is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The amendment should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

NOTE 3 -COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

A. Government grants:

Microbot Israel has received grants from the Israeli Innovation Authority (“IIA”) for participation in research and development since 2013 through June 30, 2024 totaling approximately $1,878. This amount includes amounts received in the first quarter of 2024 of approximately $74, which is a portion of an additional grant from the IIA in the amount of approximately NIS 1,620,000 (approximately $447) approved by the IIA on June 1, 2023, to further finance the development of the manufacturing process of the LIBERTY® Endovascular Robotic Surgical System.

In addition, as a result of the agreement with CardioSert Ltd. (“CardioSert”) on January 4, 2018, Microbot Israel took over the liability to repay CardioSert’s IIA grants in the aggregate amount of approximately $530. See also Notes 3C and 5C below.

In addition, as a result of the agreement with Nitiloop, on October 6, 2022, Microbot Israel took over the liability to repay Nitiloop’s IIA grants in the aggregate amount of approximately $925.

In relation to the IIA grants described above, the Company is obligated to pay royalties amounting to 3.0%-5% of its future sales of the products relating to such grants.

The grants are linked to the exchange rate of the dollar to the New Israeli Shekel and bears interest of SOFR per year (SOFR is a benchmark interest rate which replaced LIBOR).

The repayment of the grants is contingent upon the successful completion of the Company’s research and development programs and generating sales. The Company has no obligation to repay these grants, if the project fails, is unsuccessful or aborted or if no sales are generated. The financial risk is assumed completely by the Government of Israel. The grants are received from the Government on a project-by-project basis.

On December 11, 2022, the Company received approval for a grant from the Ministry of Economy, in the amount of NIS 300,000 (approximately $83), for participation in expenses related to the LIBERTY® Endovascular Robotic Surgical System in the U.S. market. As of June 30, 2024, the Company received approximately $50 of such grant. In relation with the Ministry of Economy grant, the Company is obligated to pay royalties amounting to 3% of future sales of the LIBERTY® Endovascular Robotic Surgical System up to the grant amount plus interest.

B. TRDF agreement:

Microbot Israel signed an agreement with the Technion Research and Development Foundation (“TRDF”) in June 2012 by which TRDF transferred to Microbot Israel a global, exclusive, royalty-bearing license (as amended, the “License Agreement”) with respect to the Company’s Self-Cleaning Shunt

(SCS) project and its TipCat assets in addition to certain technology relating to the Company’s LIBERTY® Endovascular Robotic Surgical System. As partial consideration for the license, Microbot Israel shall pay TRDF royalties on net sales (between 1.5%-3.0%) and on sublicense income as detailed in the License Agreement.

In October 2022 the Company suspended the SCS project and as a result of the Company’s May 2023 implementation of its core-business focus program and cost reduction plan, the Company returned the licensed intellectual property for the TipCat back to TRDF in June 2023, and returned the licensed intellectual property for the SCS (ViRob) back to TRDF in July 2023. As a result, as of the date of these financial statements, the License Agreement is limited to the certain technology relating to the Company’s LIBERTY® Endovascular Robotic Surgical System.

C. Agreement with CardioSert Ltd.:

On January 4, 2018, Microbot Israel entered into an agreement with CardioSert (the “CardioSert Agreement”) to acquire certain of its patent-protected technology (the “Technology”). Pursuant to the CardioSert Agreement, Microbot Israel made aggregate payments of $300 in cash and 6,738 shares of common stock estimated at $74 to complete the acquisition.

As a result of its core-business focus program and its cost reduction plan enacted in May 2023, the Company terminated the CardioSert Agreement effective as of August 17, 2023 in accordance with its terms and ceased its research and development and commercialization efforts for, and maintaining, the Technology, which resulted in CardioSert triggering on March 3, 2024 its right to reacquire the Technology for nominal consideration. See also Note 5C below.

D. ATM agreement:

On June 10, 2021, the Company entered into an At-the-Market Offering Agreement (the “ATM Agreement”) with H.C. Wainwright & Co. LLC (“Wainwright”), as sales agent, in connection with an “at the market offering” under which the Company may offer and sell, from time to time in its sole discretion, shares of its common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $10,000 at market prices or as otherwise agreed with Wainwright. Through June 30, 2024, the Company has not sold any shares of common stock pursuant to the ATM Agreement. See Note 5A below.

E. Engagement letters with H.C. Wainwright:

In connection with registered direct and private placement offerings, the Company entered into engagement letters (the “Engagement Letters”) with Wainwright on October 3, 2022, on May 16, 2023, on October 24, 2023 and on May 29, 2024, pursuant to which Wainwright agreed to serve as the exclusive placement agent for the issuance and sale of securities of the Company.

As compensation for such placement agent services, the Company has agreed to pay Wainwright an aggregate cash fee equal to 7.0% of the gross proceeds received by the Company from offerings contemplated by the Engagement Letters, plus a management fee equal to 1.0% of the gross proceeds received by the Company from such offerings, as well as other reimbursable expenses. The Company has also agreed to issue to Wainwright or its designees preferred investment options upon the closing of such offerings, equal to five (5.0%) percent of the aggregate number of such shares of common stock in such offerings, including upon exercise for cash of any warrants issued to investors in such offering.

F. Acquisition of Nitiloop’s assets:

On October 6, 2022, Microbot Israel purchased substantially all of the assets, including intellectual property, devices, components and product related materials (the “Assets”), of Nitiloop Ltd., an Israeli limited liability company (“Nitiloop”). The Assets include intellectual property and technology in the field of intraluminal revascularization devices with anchoring mechanism and integrated microcatheter (the “Technology”) and the products or potential products incorporating the Technology owned by Nitiloop and designated by Nitiloop as “NovaCross”, “NovaCross Xtreme” and “NovaCross BTK” and any enhancements, modifications and improvements thereof (“Devices”). Microbot Israel did not assume any material liabilities of Nitiloop other than obligations Nitiloop has to the IIA and relating to certain renewal/maintenance fees for a European patent application.

In consideration for the acquisition of the Assets, Microbot Israel shall pay royalties to Nitiloop, which shall not, in the aggregate, exceed $8,000, as follows:

●Royalties at a rate of 3% of net revenue generated as a result of sales, license or other exploitation of the Devices; and
●Royalties at a rate of 1.5% of net revenue generated from the sale, license or other exploitation of commercialization of the technology as part of an integrated product.

Based on the Company’s analysis, the Company concluded that the acquisition of the assets does not meet the definition of a business for the purpose of applying SEC Rules (S-X Rules of 3-05, 8-04 and 11-01).

G. Litigation resulting from the 2017 financing:

The Company was named as the defendant in a lawsuit captioned Empery Asset Master Ltd., Empery Tax Efficient, LP, Empery Tax Efficient II, LP, Hudson Bay Master Fund Ltd., (the “Plaintiffs”), against Microbot Medical Inc., Defendant, in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York (Index No. 651182/2020) (the “Lawsuit”). The complaint alleged, among other things, that the Company breached multiple representations and warranties contained in the Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) related to the Company’s June 8, 2017 equity financing (the “2017 Financing”), of which the Plaintiffs participated, and fraudulently induced Plaintiffs into signing the SPA. The complaint sought rescission of the SPA and return of the Plaintiffs’ $6,750 purchase price with respect to the 2017 Financing.

On January 26, 2024 (the “Effective Date”), the Company entered into a settlement agreement and release with the Plaintiffs (the “Settlement Agreement”), effectively resolving the Lawsuit.

Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the Company paid $2,154 consisting of a cash payment of $1,100, covered by the Company’s insurance company, and 1,005,965 shares of restricted common stock which were subsequently registered for resale. Furthermore, the Company’s insurance company is responsible for covering legal expenses incurred by the Company in relation to the legal proceedings of the Lawsuit. In February 2024, the Plaintiffs filed a stipulation discontinuing the Lawsuit with prejudice.

The Company concluded the Settlement Agreement gave rise to loss contingencies in the scope of ASC Subtopic 450-20, Contingencies – Loss Contingencies, and as of December 31, 2023, the Company recorded a contingent liability, as the Company deemed it both probable and reasonably estimable.

The Company determined that the loss contingency should be recognized as non-operating losses, offset by loss recoveries received from the Company’s insurance company*.*

As a result of the Settlement Agreement and the insurance recovery received from the insurance company, as of December 31, 2023, the Company recorded a liability and an asset on its balance sheet totaling $2,211 and $1,335, respectively. Within this asset, $1,100 represents the recovery of the cash payment of the settlement amount, and $235 represents recovery of legal expenses. A net non-operating loss of $1,111 from legal settlement was reflected in the Company’s statement of comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2023. In the first quarter of 2024, the Company received $1,335 from the insurance company, subsequently closing the asset recorded as of December 31, 2023. Additionally, during the first quarter of 2024, the Company paid the settlement amount by transferring $1,100 to the Plaintiffs and issuing 1,005,965 shares of the Company’s common stock, thereby closing the liability recorded as of December 31, 2023.

H. Mona litigation:

On April 28, 2019, the Company brought an action against Alliance Investment Management, Ltd. (“Alliance”), later amended to add Joseph Mona (“Mona”) as a defendant, in the Southern District of New York under Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), to compel Alliance and/or Mona to disgorge short swing profits realized from purchases and sales of the Company’s securities within a period of less than six months. The amount of profits was estimated in the complaint to be approximately $468.

On March 31, 2021, the Court entered a judgment against Mona and in favor of the Company in the amount of approximately $485. Collection of the judgment was deferred pending resolution of Mona’s counterclaim.

On August 22, 2023, the District Court dismissed the Section 10(b) counterclaim in its entirety. After the Company initiated efforts to execute on the $485 judgment against Mona (the “Judgment”), Mona urged the Court to decide the motion to vacate the 16(b) Judgment on the grounds that the Company purportedly lacks Constitutional standing to bring this case, which he originally filed prior to the final dismissal of his 10(b) counterclaim. On January 30, 2024, a Report & Recommendation was issued that the motion be denied, which the Court adopted in the entirety in an Order on March 5, 2024. Mona has purported to appeal that denial. The Company believes Mona’s purported appeal is untimely and substantively meritless. Mona’s appellate brief was filed on June 28, 2024. The Company’s opposition is due to be filed on September 26, 2024.

The Court has permitted the Company’s ongoing execution efforts to continue notwithstanding Mona’s purported appeal of the Court’s denial of Mona’s subsequent motion to vacate the Judgment. As of May 10, 2024, Mona posted a bond in the full amount of the Judgment.

I. Contingent bonus commitments based on future capital raising:

During February 2024, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company approved certain bonuses contingent on future capital raising efforts. These bonuses, associated with the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, are detailed as follows:

The Company’s CEO is entitled to a contingent cash bonus of approximately $298, which is divided into two contingent portions. The first 50% of the CEO’s contingent bonus ($149) is payable upon the Company raising at least $3,000 in new funds by June 30, 2024. The remaining 50% ($149), payable upon the Company raising at least $6,000 in new funds by September 30, 2024 (cumulative, so if $3,000 is not raised by June 30, 2024 but the full $6,000 is raised by September 30, 2024, the full amount is payable).

Other executives are entitled to an aggregate contingent total bonus of NIS 230,736 (approximately $61), which is payable upon the Company raising at least $3,000 in new funds by September 30, 2024. The Company’s management is unable to predict the likelihood of securing additional capital; therefore, as of June 30, 2024, the Company has not recorded a liability for any contingent bonus. See also Note 5B below.

NOTE 4 -SHARE CAPITAL

A. Preferred investment options inducement

On December 29, 2023, the Company entered into a preferred investment option exercise inducement offer letter with certain holders of existing (i) Series A preferred investment options to purchase 1,022,495 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $2.20 per share, issued on October 25, 2022, as amended on May 24, 2023, (ii) Series C preferred investment options to purchase 350,878 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $2.075 per share, issued on June 6, 2023, and (iii) Series D preferred investment options to purchase 312,309 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $3.19 per share issued on June 26, 2023 (clauses (i) through (iii) collectively, the “Existing Preferred Investment Options”), pursuant to which the holders agreed to exercise for cash their Existing Preferred Investment Options to purchase an aggregate of 1,685,682 shares of the Company’s common stock, at a reduced exercised price of $1.62 per share, in consideration for the Company’s agreement to issue new series E preferred investment options having terms to purchase up to 1,685,682 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Inducement Investment Options”). Each Inducement Investment Option will have an exercise price equal to $1.50 per share, and will be exercisable from the date of the issuance until five and one-half (5.5) years following the date of the issuance. The Company received aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $2,730 from the exercise of the Existing Preferred Investment Options by the Holders and the sale of the Inducement Investment Options, before deducting placement agent fees and other offering expenses of approximately $333. The Company also issued to Wainwright or its designees preferred investment options to purchase up to 84,284 shares of common stock which have the same terms as the Inducement Investment Options except for an exercise price equal to $2.025 per share. Further, pursuant to the engagement letter, Wainwright has a right of first refusal to act as sole book-running manager, sole underwriter, or sole placement agent with respect to any public offering or private placement of equity, equity-linked or debt securities using an underwriter or placement agent occurring during the twelve-month period following the closing date January 3, 2024.

B. June 2024 Offerings

On June 3, 2024, the Company entered into Securities Purchase Agreements with institutional investors, pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell, in a registered direct offering priced at-the-market under the rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market, an aggregate of 1,566,669 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share, at an offering price of $1.50 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds from the Offerings of approximately $2,350 before deducting the placement agent fee and related offering expenses of approximately $328. In a concurrent private placement, the Company agreed to issue to the investors series F preferred investment options to purchase up to 3,133,338 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.50 per share. Each Series F preferred investment option is exercisable immediately and will expire two years from the initial exercise date.

The Company also issued to Wainwright or its designees preferred investment options to purchase up to 78,333 shares of common stock which have the same terms as investors’ preferred investment options except for an exercise price equal to $1.875 per share.

C. Equity component of settlement amount

As part of the Settlement Agreement (refer to Note 3G above), the Company issued 1,005,965 shares of the Company’s common stock.

D. Equity classification

The common stock of the Company are recognized as equity under the requirements of ASC Topic 505 Equity.

The Company analyzed the accounting treatment for the series E and series F preferred investment options and concluded that they should be classified as equity.

The Company analyzed the accounting treatment for the preferred investment options issued to Wainwright. Since the Company did not identify any features causing liability classification according to ASC 718, it concluded that all such preferred investment options are equity-classified awards.

E. Employee Stock Option Grants

In February 2024, the Company granted the CEO, certain executives and certain employees, fully vested options to purchase an aggregate of 130,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, at an exercise price per share of $1.2684, attributable to performance goals achieved in January 2024.

The Company also granted the CEO and other executives, options to purchase an aggregate of 132,500 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price per share of $1.25, with vesting based on meeting certain performance conditions in the year 2024. For some of the performance-based grants, as of June 30, 2024, the Company estimated that such performance conditions will be met, and therefore, the Company recorded a total expense of $8 in the second quarter of 2024. For other performance-based grants that the Company’s management believes are tied to the Company’s ability to secure additional capital, the Company did not record an expense.

In February 2024, the Company granted the CEO and certain employees and advisors, options to purchase an aggregate of 195,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, at an exercise price per share of $1.2684, with a vesting period ofthree years. Regarding the CEO’s 2023 annual bonus, in February 2024, the Company paid the CEO 25% of his 2023 annual bonus, amounting to approximately $99, through the grant of fully vested options to purchase an aggregate of 79,567 shares of the Company’s common stock with an exercise price per share of $1.25.

A. Reinstatement of ATM

The Company entered into an amendment, dated July 1, 2024, to the ATM Agreement with Wainwright dated June 10, 2021, relating to the offer and sale of shares of the Company’s common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to approximately $4,820 from time to time through Wainwright, acting as sales agent.
