Stockholders' Equity

5. Stockholders’ Equity

Underwritten Follow-On Public Offerings

In February 2023, we completed an underwritten follow-on public offering of 23,125,000 shares of our common stock, including the partial exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares, at a price to the public of $2.25 per share. The total net proceeds from the offering were approximately $48.1 million, after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and offering expenses payable by us.

At the Market Offering Programs

In April 2022, we entered into an Open Market Sale AgreementSM with Jefferies LLC (Jefferies) implementing an “at-the-market” offering program (the Jefferies ATM Offering Program), pursuant to which we may offer and sell, from time to time and at our option, up to an aggregate of $65.0 million of shares of our common stock through Jefferies, acting as sales agent. Jefferies is entitled to a fixed commission rate of up to 3.0% of the gross sales proceeds of shares sold under the Jefferies ATM Offering Program. During 2022, we sold an aggregate of 1,421,627 shares of common stock at a weighted-average price of $3.09 per share for net proceeds of approximately $4.0 million under the Jefferies ATM Offering Program. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we sold an aggregate of 694,012 shares of common stock at a weighted-average price of $2.30 per share for net proceeds of approximately $1.5 million under the Jefferies ATM Offering Program.
