In connection with the Offering, the Company entered into an amended and restated securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with the Investors for the sale of 2,495,518 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s Common Stock. The aggregate gross proceeds to the Company from the Offering were approximately $695,001, before deducting placement agent fees and other estimated offering expenses.
