All Pre-Funded Warrants, which were exercisable for one ordinary share at an exercise price of $0.02 per share, were exercised in full on May 29, 2024. The Sales Agreement permits the Company to sell in an ATM program up to $50 million of ordinary shares from time to time. Through September 30, 2024, the Company raised approximately $4.2 million in gross proceeds through the sale of shares of common shares under the ATM program. Any sales under the prospectus will be deemed to be made pursuant to an ATM program as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) promulgated under the Securities Act. On July 6, 2022, the Company entered into a Purchase Agreement (the “Committed Purchase Agreement”) with Lincoln, under which it may require Lincoln to purchase ordinary shares of the Company having an aggregate value of up to $30 million (the “Purchase Shares”) over a period of 36 months. Upon execution of the Committed Purchase Agreement, the Company issued to Lincoln 4,726 During the six months ended September 30, 2023, the Company sold 9,331 0.7 no The Company’s March 2021 Registration Statement expired on March 8, 2024. In order to issue additional shares under its ATM program or the Committed Purchase Agreement in the future, the Company would be required to file a new registration statement, which must be declared effective by the SEC prior to use, and to file a prospectus supplement related to the ATM program and the Committed Purchase Agreement, as the case may be. Furthermore, the ATM program and the Committed Purchase Agreement with Lincoln are generally limited based on, among other things, the Company’s Nasdaq trading volume. Under General Instruction I.B.5 to Form F-3 (the “Baby Shelf Rule”), the amount of funds the Company can raise through primary public offerings of securities in any 12-month period using a registration statement on Form F-3 is limited to one-third of the aggregate market value of the ordinary shares held by the Company’s non-affiliates, which limitation may change over time based on its stock price, number of ordinary shares outstanding and the percentage of ordinary shares held by non-affiliates. Accordingly, the Company is limited by the Baby Shelf Rule as of the filing of this Form 6-K, until such time as its non-affiliate public float exceeds $ 75 On September 29, 2023, the Company entered into the Purchase Agreement with an institutional and accredited investor in connection with the Registered Direct Offering and the Private Placement. The Offerings closed on October 3, 2023. The Company filed the Resale Registration Statement to register for resale the Private Warrant Shares and the ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of Placement Agent Warrants, which was declared effective by the SEC on November 7, 2023. Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company is obligated to use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Resale Registration Statement effective at all times until such institutional and accredited investor (and its successors and assigns) no longer owns any Private Warrants or ordinary shares issuable upon exercise thereof. If a Fundamental Transaction (as defined in the Warrants) occurs, then the successor entity will succeed to, and be substituted for the Company, and may exercise every right and power that the Company may exercise and will assume all of the Company’s obligations under the Warrants with the same effect as if such successor entity had been named in the Warrants themselves. If holders of ordinary shares are given a choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in such a Fundamental Transaction, then the holders of the Warrants shall be given the same choice as to the consideration they would receive upon any exercise of the Warrants following such a Fundamental Transaction. Additionally, as more fully described in the Series B Warrants, Series C Warrants and Placement Agent Warrants, in the event of certain Fundamental Transactions, the holders of the Series B Warrants, Series C Warrants and Placement Agent Warrants will be entitled to receive cash consideration in an amount equal to the Black-Scholes value of the Series B Warrants, Series C Warrants and Placement Agent Warrants, as the case may be, upon the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction. See Note 6, “Warrant Liability,” for a discussion of the Registered Direct Offering. Series A Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants The Series A Warrants and the Pre-Funded Warrants are classified as a component of equity because they are freestanding financial instruments that are legally detachable and separately exercisable from the ordinary shares with which they were issued, are immediately exercisable, do not embody an obligation for the Company to repurchase its shares, and permit the holders to receive a fixed number of ordinary shares upon exercise. In addition, the Series A Warrants and the Pre-Funded Warrants do not provide any guarantee of value or return. On the October 3, 2023 issue date, the calculated fair value of the Series A Warrants and the Pre-Funded Warrants as of March 31, 2024 was $ 2.968 0.94 Series A Warrants The inputs associated with calculating the fair value are reflected below.
