The Company expects to receive net proceeds from the sale of the Shares, after deducting placement agent fees and other estimated offering expenses payable by the Company, of approximately $1.54 million. The Company intends to use approximately (i) 75% of the net proceeds from the offering to redeem a portion of the Company’s Second Amended and Restated 12% Senior Secured Note due September 30, 2020 and (ii) 25% of the net proceeds from the offering to redeem a portion of the Company’s Series E Convertible Preferred Stock.
