The sale of the Preferred Stock took place in two separate closings and at the first closing which occurred on May 10, 2017, the Company received gross proceeds of approximately $1.302 million. The second closing, which was contingent upon the Company receiving shareholder approval required by the NYSE MKT listing rules, occurred on July 25, 2017. The Company received $1.698 million, the balance of the Preferred Stock Financing. The full $3.0 million of Preferred Stock is convertible into twelve million shares of the Companys Common Stock, based on a fixed conversion price of $0.25 per share on an as-converted basis. In addition, the Company issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 4,621,037 shares of Common Stock at the first closing and an aggregate of 6,024,124 shares of Common Stock at the second closing. The Warrants have a term of seven years from the date of issuance are non-exercisable until 6 months after issuance, and have an exercise price of $0.31 per share.
