The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes, the advancement of the development of its product candidates and to make periodic principal and interest payments under, or to repay a portion of, its outstanding convertible promissory note.
A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners is acting as sole placement agent for the offering.
The registered direct offering of the shares of common stock described above is being made pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No 333-276119) previously filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on December 18, 2023 , as declared effective by the SEC on December 27, 2023 .

The private placement of the common warrants and the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the common warrants described above will be made in reliance on an exemption from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder and have not been registered under the Act or applicable state securities laws. Accordingly, the common warrants and the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise thereof issued in the concurrent private placement may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an effective registration statement or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and such applicable state securities laws.
