Current report

There may be future sales of our common stock, or a perception that these sales could occur, which events could cause the price of our common stock to decline.

Current report

Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market or the perception that such sales might occur could materially adversely affect the market price of the shares of our common stock. For instance, the securities issued in our recent equity offerings (see “Note 7 – Equity” for additional information), as well as the Warrant Shares, have been registered for resale and are freely tradable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act. As a result, a substantial number of shares of common stock may be sold in the public market following such offerings, subject to certain contractual transfer and beneficial ownership restrictions. We cannot predict the effect, if any, that market sales of those shares of common stock or the availability of those shares for sale will have on the market price of our common stock. Further, if there are significantly more shares of common stock offered for sale than buyers are willing to purchase, then the market price of the common stock may decline to a market price at which buyers are willing to purchase the offered common stock and sellers remain willing to sell common stock.

Current report

We will have broad discretion as to the proceeds that we receive from the cash exercise by any holder of the Warrants, and we may not use the proceeds effectively.

Current report

We may receive up to approximately $22.5 million in aggregate gross proceeds from cash exercises of the Warrants, based on the per share exercise price of the Warrants, and to the extent that we receive such proceeds, we intend to use the net proceeds from cash exercises of the Warrants for working capital, research and development, marketing and sales, and general corporate purposes. We have considerable discretion in the application of such proceeds. You must rely on our judgment regarding the application of the net proceeds from cash exercises of the Warrants, which may be used for corporate purposes that do not improve our profitability or increase the price of our shares of common stock. Such proceeds may also be placed in investments that do not produce income or that lose value. The failure to use such funds by us effectively could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, operating results and cash flow.

Current report

You may experience future dilution as a result of issuance of the Warrant Shares, future equity offerings by us and other issuances of our common stock or other securities. In addition, the issuance of the Warrant Shares, to the extent the Warrants are exercisable, and future equity offerings and other issuances of our common stock or other securities may adversely affect our common stock price.

Current report

You may experience future dilution as a result of issuance of the Warrant Shares and other issuances of our common stock or other securities. In order to raise additional capital, if needed, we may in the future offer additional shares of our common stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for our common stock at prices that may not be the same as the price per share as prior issuances of common stock. We may not be able to sell shares or other securities in any other offering at a price per share that is equal to or greater than the price per share previously paid by investors, and investors purchasing shares or other securities in the future could have rights superior to existing stockholders. The price per share at which we sell additional shares of our common stock or securities convertible into common stock in future transactions may be higher or lower than the prices per share for previous issuances of common stock or securities convertible into common stock paid by certain investors. In addition, the exercise price of the Warrants may be equal to or greater than the price per share previously paid by certain investors. You will incur dilution upon exercise of any outstanding stock options, warrants or upon the issuance of shares of common stock under our equity incentive programs.

Previous report

If we do not have sufficient authorized shares, we will be limited in our ability to reserve adequate shares for certain outstanding warrants.

Previous report

On April 23, 2024, we consummated an underwritten public offering of 4,620,760 shares of our common stock and accompanying redeemable warrants to purchase up to 4,620,760 shares of common stock, as well as a concurrent private placement of 2,249,763 shares of our common stock, pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 3,155,642 shares of our common stock and redeemable warrants to purchase up to 8,108,106 shares of our common stock (the “Private Warrants”). Pursuant to the terms of the Private Warrants, we are required to reserve and maintain at any time after the initial exercise date thereof, which is October 23, 2024, a sufficient amount of shares issuable upon exercise of the Private Warrants. Based on the authorized but unissued and unreserved shares of common stock as of the date of this report, we may not have sufficient shares available to establish and maintain the required amount for such reserve when required, and we may not be able to issue shares of our common stock upon the exercise of the Private Warrants, which may result in a breach by us of the terms of the Private Warrants. Accordingly, we are asking stockholders to approve an

amendment to our certificate of incorporation to increase the authorized shares of common stock issuable under our certificate of incorporation to 87,500,000 from 62,500,000 shares currently authorized. If the proposal is not approved by the stockholders, based on the authorized but unissued and unreserved shares of common stock as of the date hereof, we may not have sufficient shares available to establish and maintain the required amount for such reserve when required. There are no assurances that stockholder approval will be obtained and in that event we may not be able to issue shares of our common stock upon the exercise of the Private Warrants, which may result in a breach by us of the terms of the Private Warrants. In addition, without the increase to the number of authorized shares of common stock, we will be limited in the amount of equity we may issue in the future.
