Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock and Stockholders' Equity

(11) Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock and Stockholders’ Equity

On June 22, 2021, the Company issued 2,650,000 shares of common stock in connection with the Company’s IPO of its common stock at $13.00 per share. Net proceeds to the Company, after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions, and legal expenses, was $31,613,500. Offering costs incurred by the company were $1,591,144. Immediately prior to the closing of the IPO, all our shares of our convertible Series A preferred stock and our redeemable convertible Series B and Series C preferred stock automatically converted into 8,116,343 shares of common stock.

The Company filed an eleventh amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “Amended and Restated Certificate”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in connection with the completion of the IPO on June 22, 2021. The Amended and Restated Certificate amends and restates the Company’s existing certificate of incorporation in its entirety to, among other things: (i) authorize 200,000,000 shares of common stock; (ii) eliminate all references to the previously-existing series of preferred stock (Series A, B and C); and (iii) authorize 10,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock that may be issued from time to time by the Board in one or more series.

(a) Common Stock

The holders of the common stock shall have the exclusive right to vote for the election of directors and on all other matters requiring stockholder action, each outstanding share entitling the holder thereof to one vote on each matter properly submitted to the stockholders of the Company for their vote; provided, however, that, except as otherwise required by law, holders of common stock, as such, shall not be entitled to vote on any amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate (or on any amendment to a certificate of designations of any series of preferred stock) that alters or changes the powers, preferences, rights or other terms of one or more outstanding series of preferred stock if the holders of such affected series of preferred stock are entitled to vote, either separately or together with the holders of one or more other such series, on such amendment pursuant to this Amended and Restated Certificate (or pursuant to a certificate of designations of any series of preferred stock).

Dividends may be declared and paid or set apart for payment upon the common stock out of any assets or funds of the Company legally available for the payment of dividends, but only when and as declared by the Board of Directors or any authorized committee thereof.

Upon the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the net assets of the Company shall be distributed pro rata to the holders of the common stock.

(b) Preferred Stock

The Board of Directors is authorized to direct the Company to issue shares of preferred stock in one or more series without stockholder approval. Our Board of Directors has the discretion to determine the rights, preferences, privileges, and restrictions, including voting rights, dividend rights, conversion rights, redemption privileges and liquidation preferences, of each series of preferred stock.

As of September 30, 2021, the Company had 11,799,720 shares of common stock outstanding, and no dividends have been declared or paid.
