Risks Related to this Offering
A substantial number of shares may be sold in the market following this offering, which may depress the market price for our common stock.
Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market following this offering could cause the market price of our common stock to decline. Although there can be no assurance that any of the $15,000,000 worth of shares being offered under this prospectus supplement will be sold or the price at which any such shares might be sold, assuming that an aggregate of 4,807,692 shares of our common stock are sold during the term of the sales agreement with B. Riley FBR, in each case, for example, at a price of $3.12 per share, the reported sale price of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market on August 12, 2019, upon completion of this offering, based on our shares outstanding as of June 30, 2019, we will have outstanding an aggregate of 24,189,877 shares of common stock, assuming no exercise of outstanding options and warrants, or the conversion of our Series A or Series B Preferred Stock.
As of June 30, 2019, we have outstanding a total of 19,382,185 shares of common stock and 3,605,805 warrants. Based on shares outstanding as of June 30, 2019, 9,470,959 shares of common stock, or 48.9%, are held by our officers, directors and their affiliated entities, and will be subject to volume limitations under Rule 144 under the Securities Act and various vesting agreements. In addition, 5,400,666 shares of our common stock that are subject to outstanding options and warrants as of June 30, 2019, as well as 765,275 shares issuable upon the conversion of our Series A Preferred Stock, and 481,722 shares issuable upon the conversion of our Series B Preferred Stock, will become eligible for sale in the public market to the extent permitted by the provisions of various vesting agreements, and Rules 144 and 701 under the Securities Act.
We cannot predict what effect, if any, sales of our shares in the public market or the availability of shares for sale will have on the market price of our common stock. However, future sales of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market, including shares issued on exercise of outstanding options, or the perception that such sales may occur, could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
We also expect that significant additional capital may be needed in the future to continue our planned operations. To raise capital, we may sell common stock, convertible securities or other equity securities in one or more transactions at prices and in a manner we determine from time to time. These sales, or the perception in the market that the holders of a large number of shares intend to sell shares, could reduce the market price of our common stock.
