Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
The information provided in Item 1.01 is incorporated by reference in this Item 3.02.
The issuance of the shares to the SPA, the commitment shares and the shares issuable upon any conversion of the Note and the Warrant have not been registered under the Act, and therefore may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements. For these issuances, the Company relied on the exemption from federal registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Act and/or Rule 506 promulgated thereunder, based on the Company’s belief that the offer and sale of such securities did not involve a public offering.
