Item 6.

Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

 

The disclosure under the heading “10b5-1 Sales Plan” in Item 6 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended to include the following sentence at the end of such disclosure:

 

The Amended and Restated 10b5-1 Sales Plan was terminated on June 13, 2023.

 

Item 6 is further amended to include the following disclosure at the end of the Item:

 

Purchase Agreement

 

On June 12, 2023, the Issuer entered into the Purchase Agreement primarily with certain existing investors (each, an “Investor”) for the sale of (i) Convertible Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $7.925 million, and (ii) warrants (“Warrants”) to purchase up to 11,518,895 shares of Common Stock (the sale of the Convertible Notes and the Warrants together, the “Private Placement”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, (i) Convertible Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $1.2 million and Warrants exercisable for up to 1,744,186 shares of Common Stock were issued to Mr. Seldin on June 23, 2023 and (ii) Convertible Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $100,000 and Warrants exercisable for up to 145,349 shares of Common Stock were issued to CST Global LLC on June 23, 2023.

 

The Convertible Notes are senior, unsecured obligations of the Issuer and bear interest at the rate of seven percent per year and are payable on the earlier of June 23, 2026 or the occurrence of an Event of Default, as defined in the Convertible Notes.  The Convertible Notes may be converted at any time following June 23, 2023 prior to the payment in full of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes at the Investor’s option.  In the event of the Sale of the Issuer (as defined in the Convertible Notes), the outstanding principal amount of each Convertible Note, plus all accrued and unpaid interest not otherwise converted into equity securities pursuant to the terms of the Convertible Notes, shall (i) if the Investor so elects, be converted into equity securities pursuant to the terms of the Convertible Notes (the “Conversion Shares”) at a price equal to $0.688 (subject to appropriate adjustment from time to time for any stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification or other similar event) (the “Conversion Price”), or (ii) be due and payable immediately prior to the closing of such Sale of the Issuer, together with a premium equal to 150% of the principal amount to be prepaid.  Subsequent to the effectiveness of a registration statement registering the Registrable Securities (as defined below), the Issuer may elect to pay interest in kind through the issuance of shares of Common Stock at the Conversion Price, in lieu of payments in cash (the “Interest Shares”).

 

The Warrants issued by the Issuer to the Investors pursuant to the Purchase Agreement entitle the relevant Investor to purchase that number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock (the “Warrant Shares”) determined by dividing the principal amount of each Convertible Note by the Conversion Price. The Warrants have an exercise price equal to $1.03 and expire on June 23, 2028.

 

The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement is a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Purchase Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 99.15, which is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Registration Rights Agreement

 

On June 12, 2023, the Issuer and the Investors also entered into a Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which the Issuer agreed, following February 6, 2024 (the “Filing Deadline”), to use its commercially reasonable efforts to file a registration statement with the SEC for the resale of the Conversion Shares, the Warrant Shares and the Interest Shares (the “Registrable Securities”). Following the Filing Deadline, the Investors also are entitled to demand registration rights. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Investors agree that except for limited exceptions as provided therein, no Convertible Notes, Warrants, Conversion Shares, Warrant Shares or Interest Shares may be transferred until the earliest of the date that is one year from the anniversary of the date of the Registration Rights Agreement or the date on which the Issuer completes a liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction wherein all the Issuer’s stockholders have the right to exchange their shares of Common Stock for cash, securities, or other property.

 

---

The foregoing description of the Registration Rights Agreement is a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Registration Rights Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 99.16, which is incorporated herein by reference.
