The Company received gross proceeds from the private placement of approximately $4.7 million.

H.C. Wainwright & Co. acted as the exclusive placement agent for the offering.

The Series F Preferred Stock is convertible into an aggregate of approximately 7,829,388 shares of common stock at a conversion price of $0.60 per share, subject to certain ownership limitations, upon the Company amending its certificate of incorporation to provide for the full conversion of the Series F Preferred Stock, the full exercise of the Warrants and the satisfaction of the minimum bid requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market (the “Amendment Date”).

The Warrants are exercisable upon the later of the Amendment Date and six months following the closing of the private placement, and will expire five years following the date that the Warrants first become exercisable.

The Company intends to use $1,000,000 of the net proceeds received from the offering for working capital purposes and the remaining proceeds will be used to repay existing debt and/or redeem shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock.

Accordingly, the securities may not be reoffered or resold in the United States except pursuant to an effective registration statement or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and such applicable state securities laws.
