On December 10, 2020, the Issuer consummated a private placement (the “Private Placement”) with the Arena Funds pursuant to which the Arena Funds purchased an aggregate principal amount of $2,777,778 original issue discount senior secured convertible notes for an aggregate purchase price of $2,500,000 (the “Notes”). The Notes will be convertible at the option of the holder at any time into shares of Common Stock at an initial conversion price equal to $0.39, subject to adjustment.  In connection with the Purchase Agreement, the Arena Funds also received 409,417 shares of Common Stock and a warrant to purchase up to 3,557,605 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.45 per share, subject to adjustment (“Warrants”). Pursuant to the terms of the Notes and Warrants, the Arena Funds cannot convert the Notes and/or exercise the Warrants to the extent the Arena Funds, together with its affiliates and other attribution parties, would beneficially own, after any such conversion and/or exercise, more than 9.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (the “Blockers”).

 

As of close of business on December 23, 2020, each of the Reporting Persons may have been deemed to have beneficial ownership of 606,153 shares of Common Stock which consists of (i) 409,417 shares of Common Stock held by the Arena Funds, (ii) 196,736 shares of Common Stock issuable upon partial conversion of the Notes. All such shares of Common Stock in the aggregate represent beneficial ownership of approximately 9.99% of the Common Stock, based on (1) 5,458,888 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of December 3, 2020, as represented by the Issuer in the Private Placement, plus (2) 409,417 shares of Common Stock issued at the closing of the transaction contemplated by the Private Placement, and (3) 196,736 shares of Common Stock issuable upon partial conversion of the Notes held by the Arena Funds. The foregoing excludes (a) 6,918,474 shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion the Notes held by the Arena Funds because of the Blockers and (b) 3,557,605 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants held by the Arena Funds because of the Blockers.

 

The Investment Manager, is the investment manager of the Arena Funds. The Manager General Partner, is the general partner of the Investment Manager. The General Partner is the general partner of the Opportunities Fund. The Partners Fund General Partner is the general partner of the Partners Fund. As a result of the foregoing, the Investment Manager and the Reporting Entities may be deemed to be beneficial owners of securities of the Issuer directly held by the Arena Funds, and may be deemed to have the power to vote or direct the vote of and the power to dispose or direct the disposition of such securities.

 

Each Reporting Person declares that neither the filing of this statement nor anything herein shall be construed as an admission that such person is, for the purposes of Section 13(d) or 13(g) of the Act or any other purpose, the beneficial owner of any securities covered by this statement. Pursuant to Rule 13d-4 of the Act, each of the Investment Manager and the Reporting Entities disclaim beneficial ownership of the shares of Common Stock of the Issuer held directly by Arena Funds.
