Item 8.01 Other Events.

On December 2, 2022 the Company priced a best efforts public offering (the “Offering”) of: (i) 54,787 shares of its common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”) and accompanying Series A-3 warrants (“Series A-3 Warrants”) to purchase 54,787 shares of Common stock and Series A-4 warrants (“Series A-4 Warrants”, and together with the Series A-3 Warrants, “Series A Warrants”) to purchase 54,787 shares of Common Stock, at a combined public offering price of $4.795 per share and accompanying Series A Warrants and (ii) Series C pre-funded warrants (“Series C Pre-funded Warrants”) to purchase 988,000 shares of Common Stock and accompanying Series A-3 Warrants to purchase 988,000 shares of Common Stock and Series A-4 Warrants to purchase 988,000 shares of Common stock at a combined public offering price of $4.785 per Series C Pre-funded Warrant and accompanying Series A Warrants, which is equal to the public offering price per share of Common Stock and accompanying Series A Warrants less the $0.01 per share exercise price of each such Series C Pre-funded Warrant.

The Series A Warrants have an exercise price of $4.50 per share of Common Stock. The Series A-3 Warrants are exercisable upon issuance and will expire on December 6, 2027. The Series A-4 Warrants are exercisable upon issuance and will expire on January 8, 2024. The exercise price of the Series A Warrants is subject to adjustment for stock splits, reverse splits, and similar capital transactions as described in the Series A Warrants.

Subject to certain ownership limitations described in the Series C Pre-funded Warrants, the Series C Pre-funded Warrants are immediately exercisable and may be exercised at a nominal consideration of $0.01 per share of Common Stock any time until all of the Series C Pre-funded Warrants are exercised in full.

As compensation to H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC (the “Placement Agent”), as the exclusive placement agent in connection with the Offering, the Company paid the Placement Agent a cash fee of 7.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds raised in the Offering, plus a management fee equal to 1.0% of the gross proceeds raised in the Offering, and reimbursement of certain expenses and legal fees. The Company also issued to designees of the Placement Agent warrants to purchase up to 62,567 shares of Common Stock (the “Placement Agent Warrants”). The Placement Agent Warrants have substantially the same terms as the Series A warrants, except that the Placement Agent Warrants have an exercise price equal to $5.99375 per share and expire on December 2, 2027.

In connection with the Offering, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with a certain institutional investor on December 2, 2022. The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and agreements of the Company and the purchaser and customary indemnification rights and obligations of the parties.

The shares of Common Stock, the Series A Warrants, the Series C Pre-funded Warrants and the Placement Agent Warrants described above and the underlying shares of Common Stock were offered pursuant to the Registration Statement on Form S-1, as amended (File No. 333-268251), which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 2, 2022.

The Company expects to receive net proceeds of approximately $4.2 million from the Offering, after deducting the estimated offering expenses payable by the Company, including the Placement Agent fees. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering for pipeline development activities and general corporate purposes. The closing of the Offering is expected to occur on December 6, 2022.

The foregoing summaries of the Purchase Agreement, the Series A-3 Warrant, the Series A-4 Warrant, the Series C Pre-funded Warrant and the Placement Agent Warrant do not purport to be complete and are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by, the forms of such documents attached as exhibits 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 4.5 and 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, which are incorporated by reference.
