First Registered Direct Offering

On September 13, 2024, the Company entered into a common stock purchase agreement (the “First RDO Purchase Agreement”) with an institutional accredited investor for the sale (the “First Offering”) by the Company of shares (the “First RDO Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), for aggregate gross proceeds of $1,500,000, before deducting offering expenses payable by the Company. The First RDO Shares will be issued upon issuance of a funding notice by the Company to the investor. The First RDO Shares will be issued at a price per share of 80% of the lowest traded price of the Common Stock ten days prior to the closing date for the purchase of the shares. In addition, the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to sell to this investor up to an additional $3,500,000 of shares of Common Stock on the same pricing terms.

The First RDO Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements by the Company and customary conditions to closing. Pursuant to the First RDO Purchase Agreement, the Company also agreed to indemnify the purchaser against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act and liabilities arising from breaches of representations and warranties contained therein. The First RDO Purchase Agreement also includes a covenant on the investor to vote their shares of common stock in favor of all Company director nominees and other proxy proposals, but only for so long as the investor owns more than 5% of the outstanding stock.

The Company currently intends to use the net proceeds from this sale to build additional products and solutions to meet market demand, further advance the development of new products and solutions, engage in corporate development and merger and acquisition activities, for working capital needs, capital expenditures, repayment or refinancing of indebtedness, repurchases and redemptions of securities, and for other general corporate purposes.

The First RDO Shares are being offered and sold pursuant to a prospectus supplement which will be filed in connection with a “takedown” from the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-275843) declared effective on December 12, 2023.
