Warrant Adjustments
From March 7, 2018 through March 12, 2018,
the Company and certain investors agreed to modify the terms of outstanding warrants held by such investors. Pursuant to the agreements,
the investors agreed not to exercise their warrants before the earlier of a vote of the shareholders of the Company to increase
the authorized capital stock of the Company, or June 1, 2018. The modifications generally provided for a one-year extension to
the expiration date of such warrants and/or a decrease in the exercise price of the warrants. In the aggregate, the Company modified
warrants exercisable for up to 31,344,947 shares of common stock, with new expiration dates not exceeding one additional year
and ranging from April 16, 2019 to August 1, 2023, and new exercise prices ranging between $0.24 and $0.55. Together with the
warrant adjustments previously reported in the Company’s Form 8-K filed on March 7, 2018, the Company has adjusted
the terms and conditions of exercise of a total of 124,225,668 warrants. To the extent applicable, the securities were issued
pursuant to the exemption from the registration requirements afforded by Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the “Securities Act”).
Regulation D Offering and Additional Sales of Series B Preferred
Stock
Subsequent to the completion of Company’s
Regulation D offering of Series B Preferred Stock and Class D-2 Warrants in December 2017, as reported in the Company’s Form
8-K filed on January 4, 2018, the Company has made additional sales of Series B Preferred Stock and Class D-2 Warrants to investors
from February 27, 2018 through March 10, 2018. The Company has issued an aggregate of 341,087 shares of Series B Preferred Stock,
convertible into 3,410,870 shares of common stock, and Class D-2 Warrants to acquire an aggregate of up to 3,410,870 additional
shares of common stock for a subscription price of approximately $784,500, on the same terms as in December 2017.
The Series B Preferred Stock is subject
to restrictions, under which it is not currently convertible and will not become convertible into common stock until common stock
is available therefor or after 6 months following issuance. When sufficient shares of common stock are available for issuance upon
conversion, each share of Series B Preferred Stock will be convertible at the option of the holder, at any time, into 10 shares
of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, for a total of 3,410,870 shares of common stock (the equivalent of a conversion price
of $0.23 per share of common stock). Shares of the Series B Preferred Stock will only receive dividends if the common stock receives
dividends, and such dividends would be in the same amount, on an as-converted basis. In case of a liquidation event, if the Series
B Preferred Stock is still outstanding at that time, each holder will, with respect to each Series B Preferred share owned by such
holder, be entitled to a liquidation preference of either the amount paid for the Series B Preferred share or the amount that the
holder of such Series B Preferred share would have received if it had converted such share to common stock immediately prior to
the liquidation event.
The Class D-2 Warrants are not currently
exercisable and will become exercisable only when shares of common stock are available for issuance upon exercise.
In connection with these issuances of Series
B Preferred Stock and Class D-2 Warrants, the Company entered into voting agreements with certain investors.
The Series B Preferred Stock and Class
D-2 Warrants described in this Item 3.02 were offered and sold in reliance upon exemptions from registration pursuant to Rule
506(c) of Regulation D promulgated under Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act. Each of the offerings was made to an “accredited
investor” (as defined by Rule 501 under the Securities Act).
