Material Changes
On January 3, 2023, the Company entered into an At-The-Market (ATM) Offering Agreement with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC. This agreement allows the Company to sell shares of its common stock through the sales agent in "at-the-market" offerings on the Nasdaq Capital Market. The filing does not report changes to prior period financial performance as it is a transactional report rather than a periodic financial report.
Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary
Offering Structure: The Company may sell shares from time to time through Wainwright. The Company retains the right to suspend offers or terminate the agreement at any time and has no obligation to sell any shares. Sales may also be made in negotiated transactions with prior approval or to Wainwright as principal if agreed upon separately.
Termination: The agreement terminates upon the earlier of the sale of all shares subject to the agreement or termination by either party.
Risks: The filing notes that the report does not constitute an offer to sell securities in any state where such an offer would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification.
