entered into definitive agreements for the purchase and sale of
701,756 shares of the Company’s common stock at a purchase price of
$2.1375 per share of common stock in a registered direct offering
priced at-the-market under Nasdaq rules. In addition, in a

expansion and development of additional applications derived from
the Company’s existing IP portfolio, and for working capital and
other general corporate purposes.

(the “Securities Act”), and Regulation D promulgated thereunder
