Each share of Series C Preferred Stock was issued at a purchase price of $ 1,000 per share and is convertible into shares of common stock based on the respective conversion prices which were determined at the closing of each round of the private placement. The conversion prices for the Series C-1 Preferred Stock, Series C-2 Preferred Stock, and the Series C-3 Preferred Stock are $ 1.16 , $ 1.214 , and $ 1.15 , respectively. Subject to ownership limitations, the owners of the Series C Preferred Stock are entitled to receive dividends, payable in shares of common stock at a rate of 10 %, 15 %, 20 % and 25 % of the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock, on the 12 th , 24 th , 36 th and 48 th month, anniversary of the initial closing of the private placement which occurred on August 19, 2020. The Series C Preferred Stock dividends do not require declaration by the Board of Directors and are accrued annually as of the date the dividend is earned in an amount equal to the fair value of the Company’s common stock on the dates the respective dividends are paid. The fair value of the Series C Preferred Stock dividend paid on August 19, 2021, was determined by multiplying the dividends paid of 1,698 by the Company’s closing share price on August 19, 2021, of $ 1.45 per share for a total fair value of $ 2,462 . Any outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock will automatically convert to shares of common stock on August 19, 2024. Total gross proceeds from the private placement were $ 25,028 , or approximately $ 21,573 in net proceeds after deducting financing costs of $ 3,455 with respect to agent commissions and expenses, as well as legal and accounting fees. In addition, the Company issued 2,504 Series C Preferred Stock purchase warrants with a fair value of $ 3,287 to the placement agent (“Series C Agent Warrants”).
