The gross proceeds to the Company from the offering are expected to be approximately $8.0 million, before deducting advisory fees and other offering expenses payable by the Company.

The securities described above (excluding the warrants and the shares of common stock underlying the warrants) are being offered and sold by the Company in a registered direct offering pursuant to a “shelf” registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-263298) that was originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 4, 2022, and declared effective on April 25, 2022.

Accordingly, the warrants and the underlying shares of common stock 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 Act and such applicable state securities laws.
