NOTE 18 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS 

On July 9, 2024, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain institutional and retail investors, pursuant to which the Company sold 3,393,600 shares of common stock and pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 3,703,140 shares of common stock. The offering price per share of common stock was $0.57, and the offering price per share of pre-funded warrant was $0.5699.

The offering closed on July 10, 2024. The Company incurred offering expenses of approximately $0.5 million, including placement agent fees of approximately $0.3 million. The Company received net proceeds of approximately $3.5 million, after deducting the underwriting discount and other offering expenses.

 On July 30, 2024, the Company entered into a Sales Agreement with AGP pursuant to which the Company may issue and sell, from time to time, shares of the Company’s common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $50.0 million in ATM sales. AGP will act as sales agent and will be paid a 3% commission on each sale under the Sales Agreement. The Company’s common stock will be sold at prevailing market prices at the time of the sale, and, as a result, prices will vary. Subsequent to June 30, 2024, the Company has sold 0.8 million shares of common stock under the Sales Agreement, for net proceeds of approximately $0.4 million.

 On August 9, 2024, the Company received a letter from Nasdaq indicating that, based upon the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock for the last 30 consecutive business days, the Company no longer meets the requirement to maintain a minimum bid price of $1 per share, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 55450(a)(1) (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”). The Company was initially provided with a 180 calendar day period, or until February 5, 2024, in which to regain compliance. In the event that the Company does not regain compliance within this 180-day period, the Company may be eligible to seek an additional 180 day compliance period if it meets the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for the Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, and provides written notice to Nasdaq of its intent to cure the deficiency during this second compliance period, by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary.
