STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY | 11. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY Common Stock Pursuant to our Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, we currently have 150,000,000 shares of common stock authorized for issuance. On December 20, 2018, the Company’s shareholders approved the proposal to authorize the Company’s Board of Directors to, in its discretion, amend the Company’s Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to increase the total number of authorized shares of common stock from 150,000,000 shares to 250,000,000 shares. The Company has not yet affected this increase. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company issued 74,000 shares of its common stock in connection with the exercise of 74,000 warrants. The warrant exercises resulted in net cash proceeds to the Company of approximately $0.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2021. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company issued 55,147 shares of its common stock in connection with consulting services of approximately $0.2 million. During the year ended December 31 2021, the Company issued 1,379 shares of its common stock in connection with the exercise of 1,379 stock options. The stock option exercises resulted in net cash proceeds to the Company of $3,000 for the year ended December 31, 2021. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company issued 3,980,145 shares of its common stock in connection with the conversion of convertible notes, plus interest, totaling $2.2 million. See Note 6 – Convertible Notes. LP Purchase Agreement On September 7, 2018, the Company entered into a purchase agreement (the “LP Purchase Agreement”) with Lincoln Park, pursuant to which Lincoln Park has agreed to purchase from the Company up to an aggregate of $10,000,000 of common stock of the Company (subject to certain limitations) from time to time over the term of the LP Purchase Agreement. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company received $1.4 million from the sale of 1,040,654 shares of common stock to Lincoln Park under the LP Purchase Agreement. The LP Purchase Agreement terminated during our second fiscal quarter of 2020. LP 2020 Purchase Agreement On March 26, 2020, the Company entered into a purchase agreement (the “LP 2020 Purchase Agreement”) and a registration rights agreement (the “LP 2020 Registration Rights Agreement”) with Lincoln Park pursuant to which Lincoln Park agreed to purchase from us, from time to time, up to $10,000,000 of our common stock, subject to certain limitations, during the 24 month term of the LP 2020 Purchase Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the LP 2020 Purchase Agreement, on the agreement date, the Company issued 250,000 shares of its common stock to Lincoln Park as consideration for its commitment to purchase shares of common stock of the Company under the LP Purchase Agreement (the “LP 2020 Commitment Shares”). Pursuant to the terms of the LP 2020 Registration Rights Agreement, on March 27, 2020, as amended on April 8, 2020, the Company filed with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-1 to register for resale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, 1,770,000 shares of common stock, which included the LP 2020 Commitment Shares. The Form S-1 was declared effective by the SEC on April 13, 2020. As of June 22, 2020, all shares registered under this S-1 had been sold and/or issued to Lincoln Park. On June 26, 2020, the Company filed with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-1 to register for resale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, an additional 4,500,000 shares of common stock that could have been issued to Lincoln Park under the LP 2020 Purchase Agreement. The Form S-1 was amended on July 7, 2020 and declared effective by the SEC on July 7, 2020. During the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, 500,000 and 2,960,000 shares registered under this S-1 had been sold and/or issued to Lincoln Park. As of the date of issuance of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we have received an aggregate of $8.8 million from the sale of common stock to Lincoln Park under the LP 2020 Purchase Agreement, including approximately $1.3 million and $7.5 million from the sale of 500,000 and 4,480,000 shares of common stock during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company terminated the LP 2020 Purchase Agreement effective June 14, 2021. At The Market Offering Agreement On April 2, 2021, the Company entered into a sales agreement with A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners (“AGP”), pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell its common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”) (the “Shares”), having aggregate sales proceeds of up to $22.0 million. Shares can be sold either directly to or through AGP as a sales agent (the “AGP Sales Agreement”), from time to time, in an “at the market offering” (as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) of the Shares (the “ATM Offering”). The Company is limited in the number of shares it can sell in the ATM Offering due to the offering limitations currently applicable to the Company under General Instruction I.B.6. of Form S-3 and the Company’s public float as of the applicable date of such sales, as well as the number of authorized and unissued shares available for issuance, in accordance with the terms of the AGP Sales Agreement. The sale of our shares of Common Stock to or through AGP, will be made pursuant to the registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) on Form S-3 (File No. 333-237445), which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 13, 2020, for an aggregate offering price of up to $50.0 million. Under the AGP Sales Agreement, Shares may be sold by any method permitted by law deemed to be an “at the market offering.” AGP will also be able to sell shares of Common Stock by any other method permitted by law, including in negotiated transactions with the Company’s prior written consent. Upon delivery of a placement notice and subject to the terms and conditions of the AGP Sales Agreement, AGP is required to use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices, applicable state and federal law, rules and regulations, and the rules of The Nasdaq Capital Market to sell the Shares from time to time based upon the Company’s instructions, including any price, time or size limits specified by the Company. AGP is not under any obligation to purchase any of the Shares on a principal basis pursuant to the AGP Sales Agreement, except as otherwise agreed by AGP and the Company in writing and expressly set forth in a placement notice. AGP’s obligations to sell the Shares under the AGP Sales Agreement are subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, including customary closing conditions. The Company is not obligated to make any sales of Shares under the AGP Sales Agreement and any determination by the Company to do so will be dependent, among other things, on market conditions and the Company’s capital raising needs. The Company has agreed to pay AGP a cash fee of 3.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds from the sale of the Shares on the Company’s behalf pursuant to the AGP Sales Agreement. The AGP Sales Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants that are customary for transactions of this type. In addition, the Company has provided AGP with customary indemnification and contribution rights. The Company has also agreed to reimburse AGP for certain specified expenses, including the expenses of counsel to AGP. The offering of the Shares pursuant to the AGP Sales Agreement will terminate upon the termination of the AGP Sales Agreement by AGP or the Company, as permitted therein. During the year ended December 31, 2021, we received net proceeds of approximately $14.9 million from the sale of 4,501,000 shares of common stock through AGP. There were no sales of common stock through AGP from January 1, 2022 through the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Preferred Stock The Company’s Board of Directors is authorized to issue up to 15,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series, from time to time, with such designations, powers, preferences and rights and such qualifications, limitations and restrictions as may be provided in a resolution or resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors. The authority of the Board of Directors includes, but is not limited to, the determination or fixing of the following with respect to shares of such class or any series thereof: (i) the number of shares; (ii) the dividend rate, whether dividends shall be cumulative and, if so, from which date; (iii) whether shares are to be redeemable and, if so, the terms and amount of any sinking fund providing for the purchase or redemption of such shares; (iv) whether shares shall be convertible and, if so, the terms and provisions thereof; (v) what restrictions are to apply, if any, on the issue or reissue of any additional preferred stock; and (vi) whether shares have voting rights. The preferred stock may be issued with a preference over the common stock as to the payment of dividends. We have no current plans to issue any additional preferred stock. Classes of stock such as the preferred stock may be used, in certain circumstances, to create voting impediments on extraordinary corporate transactions or to frustrate persons seeking to effect a merger or otherwise to gain control of the Company. For the foregoing reasons, any additional preferred stock issued by the Company could have an adverse effect on the rights of the holders of the common stock. Series B Preferred Stock The Company filed a Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series B Preferred Stock”) with the State of Delaware, which designates 6,900 shares of our preferred stock as Series B Preferred Stock. The Series B Preferred Stock has a stated value of $1,000 per share and a par value of $0.01 per share. The Series B Preferred Stock includes a beneficial ownership blocker but has no dividend rights (except to the extent dividends are also paid on the common stock). On August 28, 2017, the Company completed an underwritten public offering (the “August 2017 Offering”) consisting of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock and warrants. The conversion price of the Series B Preferred Stock contains a down round feature. The Company will recognize the effect of the down round feature when it is triggered. At that time, the effect would be treated as a deemed dividend and as a reduction of income available to common shareholders in our basic earnings per share calculation. The March 2020 Amendment, see Note 6 – Convertible Notes, triggered the down round feature of the Series B Preferred Stock and, as a result, the conversion price of the Company’s Series B Convertible Preferred Stock was automatically adjusted from $2.25 per share to $0.40 per share. In connection with the down round adjustment, the Company calculated an incremental beneficial conversion feature of approximately $3.3 million which was recognized as a deemed dividend at time of the down round adjustment (“Deemed Dividend A”). There were no conversions of Series B Preferred Stock during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company had 6,900 shares of Series B designated and issued and 47 shares of Series B outstanding. Based on the stated value of $1,000 per share and a conversion price of $0.40 per share, the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock at December 31, 2021 were convertible into 117,500 shares of common stock. Liquidation Preferences The following is the liquidation preferences for the Company’s preferred stock; Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders shall be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Corporation an amount equal to the par value, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends thereon, for each share of Preferred Stock before any distribution or payment shall be made to the holders of the Common Stock, and if the assets of the Corporation shall be insufficient to pay in full such amounts, then the entire assets to be distributed to the holders shall be ratably distributed among the holders in accordance with the respective amounts that would be payable on such shares. If all amounts were paid in full; and thereafter, the holders shall be entitled to receive out of the assets, whether capital or surplus, of the Corporation the same amount that a holder of Common Stock would receive if the Preferred Stock were fully converted to Common Stock which amount shall be paid pari passu with all holders of Common Stock.

The August 2017 Offering Warrants were exercisable immediately and expire 5 years from date of issuance.

At the time the exercise price was adjusted, the Company calculated the fair value of the down round provision on the warrants to be less than $1,000 and recorded this as a deemed dividend (“Deemed Dividend D”) . Creditor Warrants In the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company entered into Settlement Agreements with the Creditors pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue, to certain of its Creditors, warrants to purchase 7,207 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $112.50 per share (the “Creditor Warrants”).

Deemed Dividends As discussed above, certain of our preferred stock and warrant issuances contain down round provisions which require us to recognize the effect of the down round feature when it is triggered. That effect is treated as a dividend and as a reduction of income available to common shareholders in basic earnings per share. There were no deemed dividends recorded in 2021.
