Use
of Proceeds from Registered Securities
On
September 22, 2017, we issued and sold 2,760,000 shares of our common stock in the IPO at a public offering price of $9.50 per share,
for aggregate gross proceeds of $26.2 million. All of the shares issued and sold in the IPO were registered under the Securities Act
pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-220128), which was declared effective by the SEC on September 19, 2017.
Craig-Hallum Capital Group LLC acted as the sole manager for the offering. The offering terminated on September 22, 2017.
The
net offering proceeds to us, after deducting underwriting discounts of approximately $1.8 million and offering expenses paid by us totaling
approximately $1.1 million, were approximately $23.3 million. No offering expenses were paid directly or indirectly to any of our directors
or officers (or their associates) or persons owning 10.0% or more of any class of our equity securities or to any other affiliates.
At
December 31, 2021, the net proceeds were used in furtherance of our planned use of proceeds, which includes funding additional
research and development for discovery of new cancer sub-types and development and validation of new CELsignia tests; clinical trials
to support clinical claims; development of operational processes and capital expenditures; and working capital and other general corporate
purposes. As of December 31, 2021, all proceeds from the IPO have been utilized.
