Guidance, Outlook, Risks, Contingencies, and Unusual Items
- The company agreed to use net proceeds for working capital and generally may not use them to repay debt, redeem equity, settle litigation, or for prohibited activities specified in the Purchase Agreement.
- The company agreed to register the resale of all securities issued in the private placement. The registration statement must generally be filed within 30 days of July 10, 2022 and declared effective within 60 days, or 75 days if subject to full SEC review.
- If registration obligations are not met, the company may owe liquidated damages equal to 2.0% of the subscription price on each monthly anniversary of the applicable failure, subject to the agreement’s terms.
- The securities were issued in an unregistered private placement under Section 4(a)(2) and Rule 506, and contain restrictive legends.
- Exercise of the warrants and options, if completed, could materially increase shares outstanding and dilute existing holders.
- The filing provides no revenue or earnings guidance and includes no updated business outlook.
Important Facts for Investors to Verify

- Review the company’s subsequent filings for the registration statement’s filing and effectiveness dates and any liquidated damages incurred.
- Assess the potential dilution from 2,167,561 pre-funded warrant shares, 6,097,561 Preferred Investment Option shares, and 426,829 placement-agent option shares.
