Annual Meeting of Stockholders

In January 2021, our stockholders approved an amendment to the 2015 Omnibus Equity Incentive plan to increase the number of authorized shares to 1,000,000 shares.

January 2021 Offering

In January 2021, we completed an offering with several accredited institutional investors pursuant to which we issued 2,725,000 shares of our common stock in a registered direct offering and warrants to purchase 2,725,000 shares of our common stock with an exercise price of $3.55 per share in a concurrent private placement. The warrants were classified as equity, were exercisable immediately and will expire in July 2026. The net cash proceeds from this offering were approximately $8.8 million after deduction of underwriting fees and other offering expenses.

January 2020 Offering

In January 2020, we completed a financing with several institutional investors pursuant to which we issued 290,000 shares of our common stock in a registered direct offering and warrants to purchase 290,000 shares of our common stock with an exercise price of $7.50 per share in a concurrent private placement (the “January 2020 Warrants”) pursuant to which we received net cash proceeds of approximately $1.9 million, after deduction of underwriting fees and other offering expenses. The January 2020 Warrants became exercisable in September 2020 following receipt of stockholder approval of an increase in our authorized shares of common stock and they expire in July 2025. Financing costs of approximately $0.2 million allocated to the January 2020 warrant liability were expensed and included in other income (expense) in the condensed statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The January 2020 Warrants were originally recorded as liabilities. In March 2020, we amended the January 2020 Warrants and warrants we issued in connection with a financing in August 2019 to modify certain provisions that had required them to be previously classified as liabilities and to enable them to be classified as equity under the relevant accounting standards. As a result, we reclassified the fair value of such warrants on the date of the amendment from warrant liabilities to additional paid-in capital in the balance sheet and recognized an approximately $0.9 million non-cash loss on changes in the fair value of warrants in the condensed statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

September 2020 Offering

In September 2020, we completed a registered direct offering with several institutional investors pursuant to which we issued 648,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $4.20 per share. We received net cash proceeds of approximately $2.4 million, after deduction of underwriting fees and other offering expenses.
