LLC, as lead manager (the “Lead Manager”), and H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC, BMO Capital Markets Corp. TD Securities (USA) Inc., Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Eight Capital, Roth Capital Partners, LLC and Canaccord Genuity LLC, as co-managers (each, a “Co-Manager” and, collectively, with the Lead Manager, the “Managers”), under which the Company may, from time to time, sell shares of its common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Shares”), having an aggregate offering price of up to $300,000,000 through the Managers (the “ATM Offering”).

 

Upon delivery of a “Sales Notice” under and subject to the terms and conditions of the Offering Agreement, the “Designated Manager” of the Managers under the Offering Agreement may sell the Shares by methods deemed to be an “at-the-market” offering as defined in Rule 415 promulgated under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), including sales made directly on the NYSE American (the “NYSE American”), on any other existing trading market for our common stock, in over-the-counter transactions or to or through a market maker, directly to the sales agent as principal, in negotiated transactions, and/or in any other method permitted by law. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Offering Agreement, the Managers will use commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with its normal trading and sales practices, to sell the Shares from time to time, based upon the Company’s instructions, subject to applicable state and federal laws, rules and regulations, and the rules of the NYSE American.

 

The Company is not obligated to, and the Company cannot provide any assurances that it will, make any sales of the Shares under the Offering Agreement. The Offering Agreement may be terminated by the Company at any time upon five days’ notice to the Lead Manager, or by the Lead Manager in its sole discretion at any time.

 

The Company will pay the Designated Manager a commission of 2.25% of the gross sales price of the Shares sold, and has agreed to provide the Managers with customary indemnification and contribution rights.

Investors are referred to the Prospectus for a full discussion of the risks related to the Company’s business and the ATM Offering.
