The Company last reported sales of its securities in its Current Report on Form 8-K filed August 28, 2017 and accompanying press release, under which the Company reported it received additional subscriptions for Units that it expected to be funded by September 30, 2017. Accordingly, from August 29, 2017 through September 27, 2017, the Company sold 14,090,170 Units for an aggregate purchase price of $1,690,821 pursuant to the previously received subscriptions. Each Unit consists of: (i) one (1) share of Common Stock, and (ii) a five-year warrant to purchase one (1) share of Common Stock at $0.12.

 

No placement agent or broker dealer was used or participated in any offering or sale of the Units.

 

The foregoing summary of the Subscription Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreement, which was filed with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K on March 31, 2017.

 

The securities were issued in reliance upon exemptions from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.
