Equity issued during the nine months ended September 30, 2021
On September 26, 2021, we issued and sold an aggregate 7,653,060 common shares in a securities purchase agreement at a purchase price of $3.92 per share in a private placement to ten accredited investors. As a result of the offering, we received gross proceeds of $30.0 million, which resulted in net proceeds to us of approximately $29.9 million, after deducting the offering expenses.
In connection with the September 2021 private placement, we entered into a registration rights agreement (Registration Rights Agreement) with the investors pursuant to which we agreed to file with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) a registration statement registering the resale of the shares sold in the private placement (Resale Registration Statement). The Resale Registration Statement was filed with the SEC on October 5, 2021 and declared effective by the SEC on October 14, 2021. Under the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, we agreed to keep the Resale Registration Statement effective at all times until the shares are no longer considered “Registrable Securities” under the Registration Rights Agreement and if we fail to keep the Resale Registration Statement effective, subject to certain permitted exceptions, we will be required to pay liquidated damages to the investors in an amount of up to 10% of the invested capital, excluding interest. We also agreed, among other things, to indemnify the selling holders under the Resale Registration Statement from certain liabilities and to pay all fees and expenses incident to our performance of or compliance with the Registration Rights Agreement.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, 40,000 common shares were issued upon the exercise of options for gross proceeds of $244,000, with an aggregate intrinsic value of $132,000, and warrants were exercised.
