The Company engaged a placement agent for the 2018 Registered Offering. Under the Company’s engagement agreement with the placement agent, the Company paid $800,000 in cash commission and other fees to the placement agent and issued warrants to purchase 400,000 shares of common stock to the placement agent (the “2018 Agent Warrants”).

If all shares available under the Legacy Plan were used, there would remain 1,730,906 shares available for issuance under the 2017 Plan. The number of shares of Company common stock available for issuance under the 2017 Plan will automatically increase as needed such that the number of shares of common stock available for issuance with respect to awards at any time under the 2017 Plan is thirteen percent (13%) of the Company’s fully diluted shares of common stock (less the number of shares of common stock subject to outstanding awards granted under the 2017 Plan and options granted under the Legacy Plan). The maximum number of shares of Company common stock with respect to which any one participant (other than an outside director) may be granted stock options or stock appreciation rights during any calendar year is 500,000 shares. The maximum number of shares of common stock that may be subject to awards to outside directors, in the aggregate, during any calendar year is 1,500,000. No award will be granted under the 2017 Plan on or after July 7, 2027, but awards granted prior to that date may extend beyond that date. Performance Stock Unit grants Subject to approval by the Company’s stockholders of the 2017 Plan, the Company’s board of directors granted a total of 1,000,000 PSUs under the 2017 Plan to the Company’s independent directors. In total, the awards represent the right to receive an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock upon vesting of the PSU based on targets approved by the Company’s board of directors related to the Company’s fully diluted market capitalization. The PSUs will vest in full upon the later of one year from the grant date and the Company achieving a fully diluted market capitalization of at least $500 million for five consecutive business days.
