At
February 12, 2024, there were approximately 121 stockholders of record of our Common Stock. The actual number of our stockholders is
greater than this number, and includes beneficial owners whose shares are held in “street name” by banks, brokers, and other
nominees.
Since
our inception, we have not paid any cash dividends on our Common Stock and have no dividend policy. Our Loan Agreement dated May 8, 2020,
as amended, prohibits us from paying any cash dividends on our Common Stock without prior approval from our lender. We do not anticipate
paying cash dividends on our outstanding Common Stock in the foreseeable future.
No
sales of unregistered securities occurred during the first three quarters of 2023. On December 12, 2023, the Company issued 30,000 shares
of its Common Stock resulting from the exercise of a Warrant for the purchase of up to 30,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock
at an exercise price of $3.51 per share, resulting in proceeds received by the Company of approximately $105,000. See “Warrant”
in “Note 6 - Capital Stock, Stock Plans, Warrants, and Stock Based Compensation” in “Part II, Item 8, Financial Statements
and Supplementary Data” for further discussion of this warrant exercise.
