Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
Management Commentary: The Company is actively pursuing a private placement to raise capital. The Offering Shares will be issued pursuant to a prospectus supplement to be filed by June 7, 2023, under an existing Form S-3 registration statement. The Warrants are being issued in a concurrent private placement under Section 4(a)(2) exemption.
Risks and Contingencies:
- Registration Risk: The Company must file a Form S-1 for the resale of Warrant Shares within 45 days and use commercially reasonable efforts to make it effective within 30 to 60 days.
- Beneficial Ownership Limitation: Warrants cannot be exercised if the holder would own more than 4.99% or 9.99% of outstanding shares post-exercise.
- Cashless Exercise: Warrants may only be exercised on a cashless basis if no effective registration statement is available for the Warrant Shares.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the filing of the prospectus supplement by June 7, 2023, as required for the Offering Shares.
- Confirm the closing date of the transaction to determine the start of the 90-day moratorium and 6-month variable rate ban.
- Monitor the filing of the Form S-1 registration statement for Warrant Shares within 45 days of the agreement date.
- Review the final number of shares issued and total capital raised once the transaction closes.
