Reverse Stock Split
On July 22, 2024, the Company effected a 1-for-36 reverse stock split ("Reverse Stock Split") of the shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.0001 per share. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split, but were instead rounded up to the nearest whole share. The Reverse Stock Split resulted in 150,107,598 shares of common stock being converted in to 4,169,679 shares of common stock. The Board of Directors of the Company approved the Certificate of Amendment effecting the Reverse Stock Split in order to meet the share bid price requirements
of the NASDAQ Capital Market. The Company’s stockholders authorized the Reverse Stock Split and the Certificate of Amendment at a special meeting held on June 17, 2024.
All options, warrants and other convertible securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior to the split have been adjusted in accordance with the terms of the plans, agreements or arrangements governing such options, warrants and other convertible securities and subject to rounding to the nearest whole share.
Each stockholder’s percentage ownership interest in the Company and proportional voting power remain virtually unchanged by the split, except for minor changes and adjustments that resulted from rounding fractional shares into whole shares. The rights and privileges of the holders of shares of the Company’s common stock were substantially unaffected.
As the par value per share of common stock was not changed in connection with the Reverse Stock Split, we recorded a decrease of $14,460 and $4,865 to common stock on our consolidated balance sheet with a corresponding increase in additional paid-in capital as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. An adjustment to round fractional shares into whole shares was recorded in the three months ending September 30, 2024 which increased common stock by 133,975 shares and $13 with a corresponding decrease in additional paid-in capital.
Unless otherwise noted, all references in the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes to condensed consolidated financial statements to the number of shares, per share data, restricted stock and stock option data have been retroactively adjusted to give effect to the Reverse Stock Split.
Common Stock – A total of 5,634,942 shares of Common Stock were outstanding as of September 30, 2024.
During the third quarter of 2024, ATW I converted secured debentures with a principal value of $3,425,000 and interest of $96,528 into 1,322,604 shares of Common Stock.
During the second quarter of 2024, ATW I converted secured debentures with a principal value of $2,194,231 and interest of $43,167 into 22,641,909 shares of Common Stock, on a pre Reverse Stock Split basis, (628,942 shares post Reverse Stock Split).
During the second quarter of 2024 the Company entered into an At The Market ("ATM") Offering Agreement to offer and sell shares of our Common Stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $9,858,269. Under this offering we issued and sold 50,631,263 shares, on a pre Reverse Stock Split basis, (1,406,424 shares post Reverse Stock Split), for gross proceeds of $9,857,857 and net proceeds of 9,357,954 after deducting commissions and offering expenses totaling $499,903.
On December 31, 2023, the Company and ATW I, as the purchaser, entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “PIPE SPA”), pursuant to which the purchaser agreed to purchase up to an aggregate of $5,000 of the shares of common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), at a $2 per share purchase price. The sale of these shares of Common Stock was subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the PIPE SPA and pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Rule 506 promulgated thereunder as a transaction by an issuer not involving a public offering. As a result of the sale of shares under the PIPE SPA, the conversion prices under the warrants and debentures issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement were reset to $2, pursuant to their terms, removing future dilutive effects pursuant to the “ratchet” provisions of such warrants and debentures.
