Other Information
Supplemental Line of Credit
On November 14, 2024, the Company and Richard E. Uihlein (the “Lender”) entered into a Supplemental Line of Credit Letter Agreement
(the “November 2024 Supplemental Credit Agreement”), pursuant to which the Lender shall provide the Company a line of credit of up to $6.0 million (the “November 2024 Supplemental Line of Credit”) to finance the Company’s working capital needs.
The Company may draw upon the Supplemental Line of Credit through March 31, 2025. The November 2024 Supplemental Line of Credit is in addition to $60.0 million the line of credit made available by the Lender in July 2022 and the $10.0 million
supplemental line of credit made available by the Lender in March 2024.
Each advance made pursuant to the November 2024 Supplemental Credit Agreement shall be evidenced by an unsecured, convertible
promissory note (individually, a “Promissory Note,” and collectively, the “Promissory Notes”), and bear interest at the Applicable Federal Rate for short term loans, plus two (2%) percent. Principal and interest on the Promissory Notes are due
on or before March 31, 2026.
Only with the consent of the Lender, may the Promissory Notes be prepaid, in whole or in part, at any time without premium or
penalty, but with interest on the amount or amounts prepaid. At the election of Lender, the principal and accrued interest on Promissory Note(s) may be converted into the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock equal to the amount of
principal and accrued interest on such Promissory Note divided by the price equal to the closing price of the Common Stock on the date of such Promissory Note, but in no event less than $3.00 per share.
In connection with the November 2024 Supplemental Credit Agreement, the Company agreed to issue the Lender warrants to purchase up
to an aggregate of 120,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (collectively, the “Warrants”). The Company shall issue to the Lender Warrants ratably, upon borrowings under the November 2024 Supplemental Line of
Credit, with exercise prices equal to 150% of the closing price of the Company’s common Stock on the date of the Promissory Note evidencing such draw, but in no event more than $10.00 per share nor less than $3.00 per share. The Warrants expire
on July 31, 2029.
The securities referred to in this Item 9B are being issued by the Company to the Lender in reliance upon the exemption from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) thereof and Regulation D thereunder. The Company relied, in part, upon representations from the Lender that the Lender is an
accredited investor as defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act.
