Equity
Distribution Agreement
On
March 30, 2018, the Company entered into an Equity Distribution Agreement (the “Distribution Agreement”), between
the Company and Noble Capital Markets, Inc. (the “Sales Agent”). Under the terms of the Distribution Agreement, the
Company may, from time to time, issue and sell shares of its common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”),
up to an aggregate offering of $2,300,000, through the Sales Agent as either agent or principal.
Sales
of the Common Stock, if any, may be made in sales that are deemed to be “at-the-market offerings” as defined in Rule
415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, including sales made directly on or through the NASDAQ Capital Market or another
market for the Common Stock, sales made to or through a market maker other than on an exchange, or as otherwise agreed with the
Sales Agent. The Sales Agent also may sell the Common Stock in negotiated transactions subject to the Company’s prior approval.
The
Sales Agent will receive a commission of 2.75% of the gross sales price for any shares of Common Stock sold through it as the
Sales Agent under the Distribution Agreement. The Company has no obligation to sell any of the Common Stock under the Distribution
Agreement and may at any time suspend solicitations and offers under the Distribution Agreement.
The
Company intends to use the net proceeds, if any, from the sale of the Common Stock pursuant to the Distribution Agreement for
general corporate purposes, which may include the repayment of existing indebtedness and working capital.
The
Common Stock will be offered and sold pursuant to the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form F-3 (File No. 333-222848)
filed with the SEC on February 2, 2018. The Company filed a prospectus supplement, dated March 30, 2018, to the prospectus, dated
February 13, 2018, with the SEC in connection with the offer and sale of the Common Stock.
The
foregoing description of the Distribution Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Sale Agreement, a copy of
which is filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this Current Report on Form 6-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
