The sales agent was entitled to compensation at a fixed commission rate of 3.0 % of the aggregate gross sales price per share sold . As of February 8, 2021, sales of shares of our common stock under the 2020 ATM Program were completed when we sold an aggregate total of shares of our common stock at an average sale price of $ 1.75 per share .

In March 2021, we entered into an at-the-market equity offering program (the “2021 ATM Program”) relating to shares of our common stock. The 2021 ATM Program permits us to offer and sell shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $100.0 million from time to time through or to the sales agent under the 2021 ATM Program.

The sales agent will be entitled to compensation at a fixed commission rate of 3.0% of the aggregate gross sales price per share sold. The sales agent is not required to sell any specific number or dollar amounts of securities but will act as sales agent and use commercially reasonable efforts to sell on our behalf all of the shares of common stock requested to be sold by us, consistent with its normal trading and sales practices, on mutually agreed terms between us and the sales agent.

Subsequently, through the date of this 10-Q Report, we have not sold any additional shares of our common stock under the 2021 ATM Program . Future sales, if any, under the 2021 ATM Program will depend on a variety of factors, including among others, market conditions, the trading price of our common stock, determinations by us of the appropriate sources of funding, and potential uses of funding available to us.
