At-The-Market Equity Offering

 

On July 2, 2020, the Company entered into an At-The-Market (“ATM”) Sales Agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with BTIG, LLC (“BTIG”), pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell, from time to time, through BTIG, as sales agent and/or principal, shares of its common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $50,000,000, subject to certain limitations on the amount of common stock that may be offered and sold by the Company set forth in the Sales Agreement. BTIG will be paid a 3% commission on the gross proceeds from each sale. The Company may terminate the Sales Agreement at any time; BTIG may terminate the Sales Agreement in certain limited circumstances. As of September 30, 2020, the Company did not sell any shares of its common stock under the ATM Sales Agreement.

 

Common Stock

 

On January 14, 2020, the Company closed on an underwritten public offering of 32.3 million shares of its common stock at a purchase price of $1.55 per share. The Company generated gross proceeds of approximately $50.0 million and net proceeds of approximately $46.7 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other estimated offering expenses. In addition, the Company granted the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to approximately 4.8 million additional shares of its common stock on the same terms and conditions. No additional shares of the Company’s common stock were sold pursuant to this option.

 

Preferred Stock

 

Series B Preferred Stock

 

In connection with a public offering of Series B Preferred Stock, on June 19, 2018, the Company filed the Series B Certificate of Designation with the Secretary of the State of Delaware to designate the preferences, rights and limitations of the Series B Preferred Stock. Pursuant to the Series B Certificate of Designation, the Company designated 8,000 shares of the Company’s previously undesignated preferred shares as Series B Preferred Stock. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, there were 4,552 shares 4,577 shares, respectively, of Series B Preferred Stock outstanding.

 

Dividends. Subject to certain ownership limitations, holders of the Series B Preferred Stock received or are entitled to receive dividends payable in the Company’s common stock as follows: (i) a number of shares of common stock equal to 10% of the shares of common stock underlying the Series B Preferred Stock then held by such holder on June 19, 2019, (ii) a number of shares of common stock equal to 15% of the shares of common stock underlying the Series B Preferred Stock then held by such holder on June 19, 2020 and (iii) a number of shares of common stock equal to 20% of the shares of common stock underlying the Series B Preferred Stock then held by such holder on June 19, 2021. A purchaser in the offering is only entitled to dividends on shares of Series B Preferred Stock held by such holder on any of the aforementioned dividend payment dates. Based on an accounting of the holders of record of Series B Preferred Stock on June 19, 2020 and 2019, the Company made dividend payments totaling 1,365,600 and 946,000 shares of common stock, respectively through the period ending September 30, 2020.

 

 

Warrants

 

The Company has issued two types of warrants: (i) investor warrants and (ii) placement agent warrants. All warrants are exercisable immediately upon issuance and have a five-year term. The warrants may be exercised at any time in whole or in part upon payment of the applicable exercise price until expiration. No fractional shares will be issued upon the exercise of the warrants. The exercise price and the number of shares purchasable upon the exercise of the investor warrants are subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events, which include stock dividends, stock splits, combinations and reclassifications of the Company’s capital stock or other similar changes to the equity structure of the Company.

 

As of September 30, 2020, the Company had outstanding warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,327,810 shares of common stock at exercise prices ranging from $0.50 to $0.75 per share.

Basic and diluted net loss per common share

 

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, diluted earnings per common share is the same as basic earnings per common share because, as the Company incurred a net loss during each period presented, the potentially dilutive securities from the assumed exercise of all outstanding stock options, warrants and conversion of preferred stock, would have an anti-dilutive effect. The following outstanding shares of potentially dilutive securities were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share attributable to common shareholders because including them would have been anti-dilutive for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019:

 

 

    As of September 30,  
    2020     2019  
Stock options     22,260       16,859
