March 2018 Offering

On March 6, 2018, the Company completed the March Offering, wherein a total of 2,857,144 shares of the Company’s common stock were issued at a purchase price of $1.75 per share, for a total purchase price of $5.0 million, with each investor also receiving a warrant to purchase up to a number of shares of common stock equal to the number of shares of common stock purchased by such investor in the offering at an exercise price of $2.17 per share. The March Offering raised net cash proceeds of approximately $4.5 million (after deducting the placement agent fee and expenses of the March Offering). The Company is using the net cash proceeds from the March Offering for working capital purposes, to fund required dividend payments, payment of principal and interest payments under short-term borrowing obligations, and payment of interest (but not principal) under long-term borrowing obligations.

The Company engaged Chardan Capital Markets, LLC (“Chardan”) as placement agent for the March Offering pursuant to an engagement letter agreement. The Company agreed to pay Chardan a cash placement fee equal to 8.0% of the gross proceeds of the March Offering, and issued to Chardan a warrant to purchase shares of common stock equal to 3.0% of the number of shares sold in the March Offering (the “Chardan Warrant”). The Chardan Warrant has an exercise price of $2.365 per share, a term of 5.5 years from the closing date of the March Offering, and otherwise has identical terms to the warrants issued to the investors in the March Offering.

Pursuant to the purchase agreement entered in connection with the March Offering (the “March Purchase Agreement”), the Company used its best efforts to cause the conversion of all shares of the Company’s Series B 10% Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock”) into shares of common stock pursuant to the terms of the Company’s Certificate of Designation (the “Certificate of Designation”) with respect to the Series B Preferred Stock. In connection therewith, the Company entered into letter agreements with each of William W. Smith, Jr. (“Smith”) and Andrew Arno (“Arno”), whereby each of Smith and Arno agreed to take certain action to convert the shares of Series B Preferred Stock held by them pursuant to terms outlined in the March Purchase Agreement, and further agreed that the shares of common stock issued upon such conversion shall not be subject to resale registration rights. Each of Smith and Arno completed the conversion of their shares of Series B Preferred Stock in accordance with such letter agreements.

The Company prepared and filed a registration statement with the SEC for the purpose of registering the resale of shares of common stock issued in the March Offering, and such registration statement became effective within the time period agreed by the parties to the March Offering.

May 2018 Offering

On May 3, 2018, the Company completed the May Offering, wherein a total of 3,170,000 shares of the Company’s common stock were issued at a purchase price of $2.21 per share, for a total purchase price of approximately $7.0 million, with each investor also receiving a warrant to purchase up to a number of shares of common stock equal to the number of shares of common stock purchased by such investor in the Offering at an exercise price of $2.11 per share. The May Offering raised net cash proceeds of approximately $6.3 million (after deducting the placement agent fee and expenses). The Company is using the net cash proceeds from the May Offering for working capital purposes, and to fund required dividend payments, payment of principal and interest payments under short-term borrowing obligations, and payment of interest (but not principal) under long-term borrowing obligations.

The Company engaged Chardan as placement agent for the May Offering pursuant to an engagement letter agreement. The Company agreed to pay Chardan a cash placement fee equal to 7.0% of the gross proceeds of the May Offering. The Company also engaged Roth Capital Partners, LLC (“Roth”) as its financial advisor for the May Offering. The Company agreed to pay Roth a cash fee equal to 2.0% of the gross proceeds of the May Offering.

The Company prepared and filed a registration statement with the SEC for the purpose of registering the resale of shares of common stock issued in the May Offering, and such registration statement became effective within the time period agreed by the parties to the May Offering.

The Company has outstanding warrants issued pursuant to an agreement entered into on September 6, 2016 with Unterberg Koller Capital Fund L.P. (the “Unterberg Warrant Agreement”). The March Offering caused a Triggering Event as defined in the Unterberg Warrant Agreement, and the warrants were repriced from an exercise price of $2.14 to $2.07. The Triggering Event charges of $11 thousand were recorded to Stockholders’ Equity during the first quarter of 2018.

In connection with the Company’s September 2017 offering of Series B Preferred Stock (the “Series B Transaction”) to certain investors (the “Series B Stockholders”), the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with investors (the “Series B Registration Rights Agreement”) under which the Company agreed to prepare and file a registration statement with the SEC within 30 days after closing of the Series B Transaction for the purpose of registering the resale of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock (the “Conversion Shares”). The Company agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to cause such resale registration statement to be declared effective by the SEC within 90 days after the closing of the Series B Transaction (120 days in the event the registration statement is reviewed by the SEC) and agreed to pay liquidated damages to the Series B Stockholders if such resale registration statement were not to become effective within the applicable time period. The Conversion Shares were included in the registration statement filed in connection with the March Offering, and such registration statement became effective on April 19, 2018, which was later than the deadline specified in the Series B Registration Rights Agreement, resulting in liquidated damage payments of $48 thousand to Series B Stockholders. Certain Series B Stockholders, including without limitation, Smith and Arno, waived their rights to receive such liquidated damage payments.
