2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
There
were no unregistered sales of equity securities during the period.
On
December 28, 2020, the Company closed its initial public offering (“IPO”) and sold 1,270,589 units, consisting of
(a) one share of the Company’s common stock (or, at the purchaser’s election, one share of Series B Convertible Preferred
Stock), (b) one Series A warrant (the “Series A Warrants”) to purchase one share of the Company’s common stock
at an exercise price equal to $8.50 per share, exercisable until the fifth anniversary of the issuance date, and (c) one Series
B warrant (the “Series B Warrants”) to purchase one share of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price
equal to $17.00 per share, exercisable until the fifth anniversary of the issuance date and subject to certain adjustment and
cashless exercise provisions. The public offering price of the shares sold in the IPO was $17.00 per unit. In aggregate, the units
issued in the offering generated $17,732,448 in net proceeds, which amount is net of $1,714,001 in underwriters’ discount
and commissions, and $2,153,564 in offering costs (including deferred equity offering cost of $1,863,612). The Company also issued
to the underwriter an option, exercisable one or more times in whole or in part, to purchase up to 190,588 additional shares of
common stock and/or Series A Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 190,588 shares of common stock and/or Series B Warrants
to purchase up to an aggregate of 190,588 shares of common stock, in any combinations thereof, from us at the public offering
price per security, less the underwriting discounts and commissions, for 45 days after the date of the IPO to cover over-allotments,
if any (the “Over-Allotment Option”).
Upon
the closing of the IPO, all shares of preferred stock then outstanding were automatically converted into 2,810,190 shares of common
stock, and all convertible notes then outstanding were automatically converted into 710,548 shares of common stock. Certain of
the preferred shareholders were issued warrants that, following the Company’s completed IPO, allow the holder to acquire
2,736,675 shares of common stock at the IPO price during years two through three following the IPO. At exercise date, the shareholder
must hold for each warrant to be exercised, one underlying common share to exercise the option. The warrants are not transferable
and apply to the number of shares that were subscribed for.
There
has been no material change in the planned use of proceeds from our IPO as described in our final prospectus filed with the SEC
on December 28, 2020 pursuant to Rule 424(b). No direct or indirect payments were made by us to any of our directors or officers
or their associates, to persons owning ten percent or more of our common stock or to their associates, or to our affiliates, other
than payments in the ordinary course of business to officers for salaries. Pending the uses described, we intend to invest the
net proceeds in short-term, interest-bearing obligations, investment-grade instruments, certificates of deposit or direct or guaranteed
obligations of the U.S. government.
