The aggregate number of shares that we can sell to Aspire Capital under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement may in no case exceed 1,956,547 shares of the Company’s common stock (which is equal to approximately 19.99% of the common stock outstanding on the date of the Common Stock Purchase Agreement), including the 70,910 commitment shares (the Exchange Cap), unless either (a) shareholder approval is obtained to issue more, in which case the Exchange Cap will not apply, or (b) the average purchase price of all shares sold under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement exceeds $8.461; provided that at no time shall Aspire Capital (together with its affiliates) beneficially own more than 19.99% of the Company’s common stock. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company sold 125,000 shares of its common stock under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement for gross proceeds of $0.6 million. Under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, on any trading day selected by the Company, the Company has the right, in its sole discretion, to present Aspire Capital with a purchase notice (each, a “Purchase Notice”), directing Aspire Capital (as principal) to purchase up to 25,000 shares of Common Stock per business day, up to $20.0 million of common stock in the aggregate at a per share price (the “Purchase Price”) equal to the lesser of: • the lowest sale price of Common Stock on the purchase date; or • the arithmetic average of the three (3) lowest closing sale prices for Common Stock during the ten (10) consecutive trading days ending on the trading day immediately preceding the purchase date. The Company and Aspire Capital also may mutually agree to increase the number of shares that may be sold to as much as an additional 200,000 shares per business day. In addition, on any date on which the Company submits a Purchase Notice to Aspire Capital in an amount equal to at least 25,000 shares, the Company also has the right, in its sole discretion, to present Aspire Capital with a volume-weighted average price purchase notice (each, a “VWAP Purchase Notice”) directing Aspire Capital to purchase an amount of stock equal to up to 30% of the aggregate shares of Common Stock traded on its principal market on the next trading day (the “VWAP Purchase Date”), subject to a maximum number of shares the Company may determine. The purchase price per share pursuant to such VWAP Purchase Notice is generally the lessor of (i) the closing sale price on the VWAP Purchase Date, or (ii) 97% of the volume-weighted average price for common stock traded on its principal market on the VWAP Purchase Date. The Purchase Price will be adjusted for any reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock split, or other similar transaction occurring during the period(s) used to compute the Purchase Price. The Company may deliver multiple Purchase Notices and VWAP Purchase Notices to Aspire Capital from time to time during the term of the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, so long as the most recent purchase has been completed. The Common Stock Purchase Agreement provides that the Company and Aspire Capital shall not effect any sales under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement on any purchase date where the closing sale price of common stock is less than $ 0.25 . There are no trading volume requirements or restrictions under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, and the Company will control the timing and amount of sales of c ommon s tock to Aspire Capital. Aspire Capital has no right to require any sales by the Company, but is obligated to make purchases from the Company as directed by the Company in accordance with the Common Stock Purchase Agreement. There are no limitations on use of proceeds, financial or business covenants, restrictions on future fundings, rights of first refusal, participation rights, penalties or liquidated damages in the Common Stock Purchase Agreement. In consideration for entering into the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, concurrently with the execution of the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company issued to Aspire Capital shares of common stock (the “Commitment Shares”). The fair value of the Commitment Shares of $ 0.6 million was recognized in other expense in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 . The Common Stock Purchase Agreement may be terminated by the Company at any time, at its discretion, without any cost to the Company. Aspire Capital has agreed that neither it nor any of its agents, representatives and affiliates shall engage in any direct or indirect short-selling or hedging of c ommon s tock during any time prior to the termination of the Common Stock Purchase Agreement. Any proceeds that the Company receives under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement are expected to be used for general corporate purposes, including working capital.
