Item 1.01     Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

On December 16, 2016, the Company entered into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Maxim Group LLC, acting as sole book-running manager (the “Underwriter”), for a public offering (the “Public Offering”) of a combination of 2,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) of the Company, and accompanying warrants to purchase 1,500,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Warrants”). Each share of common stock is sold in combination with a Warrant to purchase 0.75 shares of Common Stock. The Warrants have a three year term and an exercise price of $2.55 per share. The Public Offering price is $1.50 per share of Common Stock and related Warrant and the Underwriter has agreed to purchase the shares of Common Stock and related Warrants from the Company at a 7.0% discount to the Public Offering price. In addition, the Company granted the Underwriter a 45-day option to purchase up to an additional 300,000 shares of Common Stock and/or 225,000 Warrants at the same price to cover over-allotments, if any. The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements by the Company, customary conditions to closing, indemnification obligations of the Company and the Underwriter, including for liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, other obligations of the parties and termination provisions.

 

The gross proceeds to the Company from the Public Offering are approximately $3,000,000 before underwriting discounts and commissions and other estimated offering expenses.

 

The Public Offering was made pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (SEC File No. 333-209466) that was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 4, 2016 and a prospectus supplement, including the base prospectus included in the aforementioned registration statement, dated December 16, 2016.

 

The foregoing description of the Public Offering and the Underwriting Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Underwriting Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 1.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
