Overview

 

We are a development stage medical device company focused on the design, development and eventual commercialization of an innovative insulin pump to address shortcomings and problems represented by the relatively limited adoption of currently available pumps for insulin-requiring people with diabetes.

 

Diabetes is typically classified as either type 1 or type 2:

 

· Type 1 diabetes is characterized by the body’s nearly complete inability to produce insulin. It is frequently diagnosed during childhood or adolescence. Individuals with type 1 diabetes require daily insulin therapy to survive.

· Type 2 diabetes represents over 90% of all individuals diagnosed with diabetes and is characterized by the body’s inability to either properly utilize insulin or produce enough insulin. Initially, many people with type 2 diabetes attempt to manage their diabetes with improvements in diet and exercise and/or the use of oral medications and/or injection of glucagon-like peptide-1, or GLP-1, drugs. However, as their diabetes advances, patients progress to requiring insulin therapies, such as once-daily long-acting insulin, and, ultimately, mealtime rapid-acting insulin therapy.

Glucose, the primary source of energy for cells, must be maintained at certain levels in the blood in order to permit optimal cell function and health. In people with diabetes, blood glucose levels fluctuate between very high, a condition known as hyperglycemia, and very low, a condition called hypoglycemia. Hyperglycemia can lead to serious long-term complications, including blindness, kidney disease, nervous system disease, occlusive vascular diseases, lower-limb amputation, stroke and cardiovascular disease, or death. Hypoglycemia can lead to confusion or loss of consciousness, often requiring a visit to the emergency room or in certain cases result in death.

 

The International Diabetes Federation, or IDF, estimates that, in 2019, approximately 460 million people had diabetes worldwide, and, that by 2045, this number will increase to 700 million people. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, or CDC, 2020 National Diabetes Statistics Report, approximately 27 million people in the United States have diagnosed diabetes, of which type 1 diabetes accounts for approximately 5%, or approximately 1.4 million people. All people with type 1 diabetes, which is our primary market, require daily insulin. According to the CDC, approximately 14% of people with type 2 diabetes in the United States, or 3.2 million people, require insulin to manage their diabetes. In this prospectus, we refer to people with type 1 diabetes and people with type 2 diabetes who require mealtime insulin as “insulin-requiring people with diabetes.”

 

Currently, there are two primary therapies available for insulin-requiring people with diabetes: multiple daily insulin injections directly into the body through syringes or insulin pens, referred to as Multiple Daily Injection, or MDI, therapy, or the use of an insulin pump to deliver a continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion, or CSII, into the body. Generally, CSII therapy is considered to provide a number of advantages over MDI therapy, primarily an improvement in glycemic control, as measured by certain diabetes management tests. Use of CSII has proven to improve clinical outcomes while, importantly, reducing emergency room visits associated with low glucose.

 

Notwithstanding these advantages, the difficulty in use resulting from the complexity and cumbersome design of available insulin pumps, as well as high and often prohibitive costs for both the patient and insurance provider, has resulted not only in dissatisfaction among many existing pump users, but also has severely limited the adoption rate of insulin pumps by a segment of the diabetes population, who we refer to in this prospectus as “almost pumpers.”

We generally define almost pumpers as persons with insulin-requiring diabetes who are aware of pumps and the potential benefits, but because of the shortcomings, cost and complexity of use problems prevalent in available insulin pumps, continue to receive their daily insulin through MDI.

 

Our initial target market for our insulin pump is the almost pumper population located in the United States.

Based upon our knowledge of the diabetes industry and information available and/or obtained by us, we believe that an estimated 32% of Americans with type 1 diabetes use insulin pump therapy and an estimated 30% of Americans with type 1 diabetes are whom we classify as almost pumpers. The remainder of the population treat their diabetes via MDI.

Our design and development team is led by Paul DiPerna, our chairman, chief executive officer and a 40% stockholder. Mr. DiPerna has over 30 years of high-level experience in developing, designing and obtaining U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, approval for and managing the commercialization of medical devices, including consumer and hospital-based insulin pumps, while working for such industry leading medical device companies as Baxter Healthcare, Inc., a supplier of drug therapies and associated pumping technologies, and Tandem Diabetes Care, Inc., or Tandem, a leading supplier of pumping technology to the existing insulin pumping marketplace, Mr. DiPerna was the founder of Tandem and designer of its initial product.

Our Insulin Pump Prototype

Over the past five years, we have designed and developed working prototypes of our low-cost insulin pump that are now undergoing the testing required to submit for FDA approval. During this period, we have and continue to devote substantial time and resources to better understand the needs and preferences of almost pumpers to enable us to modify and refine our insulin pump to the needs and preferences of this target market. To help us better understand their needs and preferences, we obtained information about our target market and their care givers through one on one interviews, human factors testing, on-line and in person surveys, and focus groups at industry related tradeshows and conferences.

 

Pre-Commercialization Steps

 

While we have substantially completed the general engineering and mechanical aspects of our current insulin pump prototype, prior to commercializing, we still must successfully complete a number of material steps including:

 

· Continue to modify, refine and finalize our prototype so that it meets:

 

· the general needs and preferences of our almost-pumper target market based upon our knowledge of the diabetes industry and information available and/or obtained by us from almost pumpers and their caregivers; and

 

· the general guidelines of third-party payors, private and public insurance companies, preferred provider organizations and other managed care providers with particular focus on the guidelines established by the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services, or CMS which administrates the United States Medicare program, or Medicare. To assist us in making such modifications and refinements, we have retained independent consultants to focus on ensuring that our product satisfies the existing coverage and reimbursement criteria of such third-party payors;

         

· Continue to work closely with our regulatory consultants to complete, finalize and file our submission to the FDA for 510(k) clearance and all other documentation necessary to obtain approval of our insulin pump. This will include:

 

o engaging the FDA in a pre-submission conference to ensure that we understand and meet the FDA’s requirements, expectations and standards with regard to approval of our product. At this meeting, our team, including our FDA regulatory consultant, will receive FDA comments and guidance regarding our proposed submission during the pre-market notification period for 510(k) clearance (including any suggested modifications to the device description, indications for use or summary of supporting data contained in the notification);

 

o preparing and ensuring that our pre-market notification, which will be part of our FDA submission, demonstrates that our insulin pump, which is substantially equivalent to an insulin pump previously cleared by the FDA and legally marketed to the public; and

 

o preparing our submission to the FDA, to include all of the appropriate results of tests (relating to, among other things, user effectiveness, sterility, pump efficiency and shipping compatibility) demonstrating safety and efficacy of our insulin pump in satisfaction of the mandates of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetics Act, or the FDCA, including requirements with regard to registration and listing, labeling, medical device reporting and good manufacturing practices. We currently expect to make this submission in the first half of 2021.

 

· Refining our manufacturing process during the submission process to identify and select a manufacturer of our insulin pump through a competitive bidding process, as we prepare for our product introduction;

 

· Take such actions, if any, as may be required by the FDA as a condition to granting approval and providing 510(k) clearance for our insulin pump; and

 

· Retain appropriate sales and marketing personnel to develop, implement and launch a promotional campaign for our insulin pump substantially focused on our target market.
3
 

As with any medical device attempting to enter and successfully compete with existing products in an established and competitive marketplace, we will face significant hurdles to accomplish the above steps to commercialization including:

 

· Obtaining FDA 510(k) clearance to market and sell our insulin pump to the public;
· Obtaining any other FDA-required approvals with regard to our product, as required by the FDCA;
· Educating endocrinologists, physician’s assistants, nurse practitioners and nurse educators, who typically prescribe pump usage, and certified diabetes educators and dieticians, who provide education and guidance to diabetes patients, as to what we believe to be the superior qualities of our product;
· Demonstrating to general practitioners, who have historically been skeptical of the heightened support inherent in insulin pumps, our product’s ease of use and convenience;
· Ensuring that our final product does, in fact, meet the needs of almost-pumpers;
· Overcoming the historic obstacles and reluctance of almost-pumpers to using insulin pumps to treat their diabetes; and
· Ensuring that third party payors agree to cover all or a substantial portion of the purchase price and recurring costs of the use of our insulin pump.

RISK FACTORS

 

Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. Before deciding to invest in our common stock, you should carefully consider all the information in this prospectus, the documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus and the risks and uncertainties discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” contained in this prospectus and in Item 1A “Risk Factors” of our 2020 10-K, incorporated by reference in this prospectus, as the same may be amended, supplemented or superseded by the risks and uncertainties described under similar headings in the other documents that are filed after the date hereof and incorporated by reference into this prospectus. Our business, operating results or financial condition could be adversely affected by any of these risks. The risks described this prospectus and in our 2020 10-K are not the only ones we face. The occurrence of any of the risks described in this prospectus and in our 2020 10-K or future or additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently believe to be immaterial could materially and adversely affect, among other things, our business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Any then market price of our common stock could also decline significantly due to any of these risks, and, as a result, you may lose all or part of your investment. Before deciding whether to invest in our common stock, you should also refer to the other information included in this prospectus and in the documents incorporated by reference herein, including our 2020 10-K. Please also read carefully the section above entitled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements.”

 

Risks Relating to Our Common Stock

 

The sale of shares by the selling stockholders may cause our stock price to decline.

The selling stockholders may sell, in accordance with the limitations set forth in this prospectus, up to the 9,658,201 shares of common stock covered by this prospectus, in the public markets. Because of the lack of any active trading market for our shares, any such sales that are able to be made will likely cause our stock price to decline. 

 

Purchasers in this offering may experience immediate and substantial dilution.

The current trading price of our common stock that may be offered for resale pursuant to this prospectus is higher than the current net tangible book value per share of our common stock. Therefore, if you purchase shares of common stock in this offering, you may incur immediate and substantial dilution in the pro forma net tangible book value per share of common stock from the price per share that you pay for the common stock. In addition, you may experience dilution if we issue additional shares of common stock including shares issuable under outstanding options and under our equity incentive plan or other compensation plans that may be implemented in the future. 

We have not held regular annual meetings of stockholders in the past, and if we are required by the Nevada District Court to hold an annual meeting pursuant to Nevada Revised Statutes §78.345(1), it could result in the unanticipated expenditure of funds, time and other Company resources.

Section 2.01 of our Amended Bylaws provides that an annual meeting of stockholders shall be held each year on a date and at a time designated by our board of directors. Section 78.345(1) of the Nevada Revised Statutes provides that, if there is a failure to hold the annual meeting for a period of 18 months after the last election of directors, stockholders owning at least 15% of the voting power of the outstanding common stock may apply to the Nevada district court to order the election of directors. We have not held regular annual meetings of stockholders in the past because approximately 75% of our voting stock is owned by our largest stockholders, thereby making it easy to obtain written consent in lieu of a meeting when necessary. Moreover, handling matters by written consent allows us to save on financial and administrative resources required to prepare for and hold such annual meetings. To our knowledge, no stockholder or director has requested our management to hold such an annual meeting and no stockholder or director has applied to the Nevada district court seeking an order directing us to hold such annual meeting of stockholders. However, if one or more stockholders or directors were to apply to the Nevada district court seeking such an order, and if the Nevada district court were to order an annual meeting before we were prepared to hold one, the preparation for an annual meeting of stockholders and the meeting itself could result in the unanticipated expenditure of funds, time, and other Company resources.

DESCRIPTION OF COMMON STOCK

We are authorized to issue up to 50,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share. As of September 30, 2020, we had 18,600,158 common shares issued and outstanding, which were held by 103 holders of record.

Common Stock

Each holder of our common stock is entitled to a pro rata share of any cash distributions made to stockholders, including any dividend payments. The holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote for each share of record on all matters to be voted on by stockholders. There is no cumulative voting with respect to the election of our directors or any other matter. Therefore, under our governing documents, the holders of more than 50% of the shares voted for the election of those directors can elect all of the directors. Until July 24, 2022, our board of directors shall consist of no more than five and no less than two directors of which (i) Manchester has the right to appoint two directors, pursuant to which Manchester Explorer L.P. appointed Morgan Frank and Carmen Volkart and (ii) Mr. DiPerna, in addition to being our chairman of the board, has the right to appoint 2 additional directors, pursuant to which he appointed Liam Burns and William Febbo. Our board of directors is elected as a single class.

The holders of our common stock are entitled to receive dividends when and if declared by our board of directors from funds legally available therefore. Cash dividends are at the sole discretion of our board of directors. In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the holders of common stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining available for distribution to them after payment of our liabilities and after provision has been made for each class of stock, if any, having any preference in relation to our common stock. Holders of shares of our common stock have no conversion, preemptive or other subscription rights, and there are no redemption provisions applicable to our common stock.

Dividend Policy

We have never paid dividends and have no current plans to do so. We currently anticipate that we will retain all of our future earnings, if any, for use in the development and expansion of our business and for general corporate purposes. Any determination to pay dividends in the future will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon our results of operations, financial condition, and other factors that the board of directors, in its discretion, may deem relevant. There are no restrictions, other than applicable law, on the ability of the board of directors to declare and pay dividends.

Stock Options

In October 2017, our board of directors (the Board) approved the 2017 Equity Incentive Plan (the 2017 Plan) with 3,000,000 shares of common stock reserved for issuance. In January 2020, the Board approved an amendment to the 2017 Plan to increase the number of shares reserved for issuance by 1,000,000 shares. Under the 2017 Plan, eligible employees, directors and consultants may be granted a broad range of awards, including stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, performance-based awards and restricted stock units. The 2017 Plan is administered by the Board or, in the alternative, a committee designated by the Board. As of September 30, 2020, stock options to purchase 3,480,088 shares have been granted under the 2017 Plan.

6
 

Dilution

The current trading price of the common stock that may be offered for resale pursuant to this prospectus is higher than the current net tangible book value per share of our common stock. Therefore, if you purchase shares of common stock in this offering, you may incur immediate and substantial dilution in the pro forma net tangible book value per share of common stock from the price per share that you pay for the common stock.

This offering is for sales of common stock by the selling stockholders on a continuous or delayed basis in the future. Neither sales of common stock by the selling stockholders nor cash payments made by the purchasers of the common stock will result in a change to the net tangible book value per share before and after the sale of the shares by the selling stockholders. Prospective investors should be aware, however, that the price of shares of common stock may not bear any rational relationship to the net tangible book value per share of the common stock.

 

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

We are not offering any of the selling stockholders’ shares. We will not receive any of the proceeds from any sale by the selling stockholders.

The selling stockholders, which for this purpose includes donees, pledgees, transferees or other successors-in-interest selling shares of common stock or interests in shares of common stock received after the date of this prospectus from a selling stockholder as a gift, pledge, dividend, distribution or other transfer, may, from time to time, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any or all of their shares of common stock or interests in shares of common stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded, or in private transactions. The selling stockholders will sell all or a portion of these shares, from time to time, at a fixed price of $3.00 per share until our common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, OTCQX or OTCQB, and, thereafter, at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices.

The selling stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when selling our shares or interests in our shares:

· ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
· block trades in which a broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent, but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
· purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;
· on any national securities exchange or quotation service on which the shares may be listed or quoted at the time of sale;
· privately negotiated transactions;
· short sales effected after the date the Registration Statement of which this prospectus is a part is declared effective by the SEC;
· through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;
· broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;
· a combination of any such methods of sale; and
· any other method permitted by applicable law.

The selling stockholders may, from time to time, pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of our shares owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of common stock, from time to time, under this prospectus, or under an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act amending the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus. The selling stockholders may also transfer our shares in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.

In connection with the sale of our common shares or interests therein, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of our shares in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The selling stockholders may also sell shares of our common stock short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The selling stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

The aggregate proceeds to the selling stockholders from the sale of the common stock offered by them will be the purchase price of the common stock less discounts or commissions, if any. Each of the selling stockholders reserves the right to accept and, together with their agents from time to time, to reject, in whole or in part, any proposed purchase of common stock to be made directly or through agents. We will not receive any of the proceeds from sales of shares by the selling stockholders.

The selling stockholders may also resell all or a portion of the shares in open market transactions in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Securities Act, provided that they meet the criteria and conform to the requirements of that rule, or under Section 4(1) of the Securities Act, if available, rather than by means of this prospectus.

In connection with the sale of shares of common stock covered by this prospectus, broker-dealers may receive commissions or other compensation from a selling stockholder in the form of commissions, discounts or concessions. Broker-dealers may also receive compensation from purchasers of the shares of common stock for whom they act as agents or to whom they sell as principals or both. Compensation as to a particular broker-dealer may be in excess of customary commissions or in amounts to be negotiated. In connection with any underwritten offering, underwriters may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from a selling stockholder or from purchasers of the shares for whom they act as agents. Underwriters may sell the shares of common stock to or through dealers, and such dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the underwriters and/or commissions from the purchasers for whom they may act as agents. Any underwriters, broker-dealers, agents or other persons acting on behalf of a selling stockholder that participate in the distribution of the shares of common stock may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any profit on the sale of the shares of common stock by them and any discounts, commissions or concessions received by any of those underwriters, broker-dealers, agents or other persons may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. The aggregate amount of compensation in the form of underwriting discounts, concessions, commissions or fees and any profit on the resale of shares by the selling stockholders that may be deemed to be underwriting compensation pursuant to Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc., rules and regulations will not exceed applicable limits.

The selling stockholders and any underwriters, broker-dealers or agents that participate in the sale of the common stock or interests therein may be “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act. Any discounts, commissions, concessions or profit they earn on any resale of the shares may be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. Selling stockholders who are “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act and may be subject to certain statutory liabilities, including but not limited to, Sections 11, 12 and 17 of the Securities Act and Rule 10b-5 under the Exchange Act.

To the extent required, the shares of our common stock to be sold, the names of the selling stockholders, the respective purchase prices and public offering prices, the names of any agent, dealer or underwriter, and any applicable commissions or discounts with respect to a particular offer will be set forth in an accompanying prospectus supplement or, if appropriate, a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement that includes this prospectus.

In order to comply with the securities laws of some states, if applicable, the common stock may be sold in these jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the common stock may not be sold unless it has been registered or qualified for sale or an exemption from registration or qualification requirements is available and is complied with.

We have advised the selling stockholders that the anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of shares in the market and to the activities of the selling stockholders and their affiliates. In addition, to the extent applicable, we will make copies of this prospectus (as it may be supplemented or amended from time to time) available to the selling stockholders for the purpose of satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. The selling stockholders may indemnify any broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving the sale of the shares against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the common stock and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to our common stock.

Penny Stock Rules / Section 15(g) of the Exchange Act

Our shares may be considered penny stock covered by Section 15(g) of the Exchange Act and Rules 15g-1 through 15g-6 promulgated thereunder. They impose additional sales practice requirements on broker/dealers who sell our securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors who are generally institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with net worth in excess of $1,000,000 (including spouse’s net worth and may include the fair market value of home furnishings and automobiles, but excluding from the calculation the value any primary residence and the related amount of any indebtedness on primary residence up to the fair market value of the primary residence (any indebtedness that exceeds the fair market value of the primary residence must be deducted from net worth calculation)) or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouses.

Rule 15g-1 exempts a number of specific transactions from the scope of the penny stock rules. Rule 15g-2 declares unlawful broker/dealer transactions in penny stocks unless the broker/dealer has first provided to the customer a standardized disclosure document.

Rule 15g-3 provides that it is unlawful for a broker/dealer to engage in a penny stock transaction unless the broker/dealer first discloses and subsequently confirms to the customer current quotation prices or similar market information concerning the penny stock in question.

Rule 15g-4 prohibits broker/dealers from completing penny stock transactions for a customer unless the broker/dealer first discloses to the customer the amount of compensation or other remuneration received as a result of the penny stock transaction.

Rule 15g-5 requires that a broker/dealer executing a penny stock transaction, other than one exempt under Rule 15g-1, disclose to its customer, at the time of or prior to the transaction, information about the sales person’s compensation.

Rule 15g-6 requires broker/dealers selling penny stocks to provide their customers with monthly account statements.

Rule 15g-9 requires broker/dealers to approved the transaction for the customer’s account; obtain a written agreement from the customer setting forth the identity and quantity of the stock being purchased; obtain from the customer information regarding his investment experience; make a determination that the investment is suitable for the investor; deliver to the customer a written statement for the basis for the suitability determination and that it is unlawful to effect the transaction without written authorization for the transaction from the customer.

The application of the penny stock rules may affect your ability to resell your shares due to broker-dealer reluctance to undertake the above-described regulatory burdens.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

The table below sets forth information concerning the resale of our shares by the selling stockholders. The selling stockholders acquired our shares in private placement transactions. The total number of common shares sold under this prospectus may be adjusted to reflect adjustments due to stock dividends, stock distributions, splits, combinations or recapitalizations with regard to the common stock. Unless otherwise stated below in the footnotes, to our knowledge, no selling stockholder: (i) has held any position or office with us during the three years prior to the date of this prospectus or (ii) is a broker-dealer, or an affiliate of a broker-dealer.

Set forth below is the name of each selling stockholder and the amount and percentage of common stock owned by each prior to the offering, the shares to be sold in the offering, and the amount and percentage of common stock to be owned by each after the offering assuming all shares are sold. The footnotes provide information about persons who have voting and dispositive power with respect to shares held by the selling stockholders.

We have registered up to 9,658,201 shares of common stock, consisting of (i) 7,801,213 shares issued in the 2017 Placement and (ii) 1,856,988 shares issued in the 2018 Placement. For a more complete summary of the foregoing transactions, refer to the disclosure under the heading “Prospectus Summary—The Private Placement Transactions.”

The amounts and percentages of shares beneficially owned are reported on the basis of SEC regulations governing the determination of beneficial ownership of securities. Under SEC rules, a person is deemed a “beneficial owner” of a security if that person has or shares voting power or investment power, which includes the power to dispose of or to direct the disposition of the security. A person is also deemed a beneficial owner of any securities of which that person has a right to acquire beneficial ownership within 60 days. Securities that can be acquired this way are deemed to be outstanding for purposes of computing a person’s ownership percentage, but not for purposes of computing any other person’s percentage. Under these rules, more than one person may be deemed a beneficial owner of the same securities, and a person may be deemed a beneficial owner of securities to which that person has no economic interest.

The following table is based on information provided to us by the selling stockholders and is as of September 30, 2020. The selling stockholders may sell all or some of the shares of common stock they are offering and may sell unless indicated otherwise in the footnotes below shares of our common stock otherwise pursuant to this prospectus. The tables below assume that each selling stockholder sells all of the shares offered by it in offerings pursuant to this prospectus, and does not acquire any additional shares. We are unable to determine the exact number of shares that will actually be sold or when or if these sales will occur.

(1) Beneficial ownership includes shares of common stock as to which a person or group has sole or shared voting power or investment power. Shares of common stock subject to options, warrants or other convertible securities that are exercisable or convertible currently or within 60 days, are deemed outstanding for purposes of computing the number of shares beneficially owned and percentage ownership of the person or group holding such options, warrants or convertible securities, but are not deemed outstanding for computing the percentage of any other person.
