The Warrants shall expire in five years.
The Company and the Purchasers consummated the purchase and sale of the Securities (the “Closing”) on July 6, 2016. The Company raised gross proceeds of $3,700,000 and net proceeds of approximately $3,300,000, after deducting aggregate placement agent fees of $296,000, attorneys’ fees, and other expenses.
The offer and sale of the Securities in the registered direct offering is registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3, as amended (File No. 333-207976), which became effective on December 22, 2015, and Form S-3 MEF (File No. 333- 209895) which was filed and effective on March 2, 2016. The Company, pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a prospectus supplement relating to the Offering. The Securities were issued pursuant to a prospectus supplement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission prior to the issuance thereof.
The exercise price of the Warrants is subject to adjustment in the case of customary events such as stock splits, stock dividends or other distributions on shares of common stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of common stock, stock combinations, reclassifications or similar events affecting our Common Stock, and also, subject to limitations, upon any distribution of assets, including cash, stock or other property to our stockholders. The exercise of the Warrants is subject to certain beneficial ownership and other limitations set forth in the Warrants.
In connection with the Offering and the concurrent private placement, the Company engaged Chardan Capital Markets LLC (the “Placement Agent”) to act as its exclusive placement agent.
