The Shares, the Common Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants are to be sold by the Company pursuant to an underwriting agreement, substantially in the form filed as Exhibit 1.1 to the Registration Statement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) to be entered into by and between the Company and Joseph Gunnar & Co., LLC., acting as the sole book-running manager for the offering and as representative of the several underwriters (the “Representative”). The Company is also registering (i) warrants to purchase up to 5% of the Shares sold in the offering to be issued to the Representative as compensation pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement (the “Representative’s Warrants”), and (ii) the common shares of the Company issuable upon exercise of the Underwriters’ Warrants (the “Representative’s Warrant Shares”).
