On April 13, 2022, the Company entered into a subscription agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”) with AJP Holding Company, LLC (“AJP”) whereby, subject to the terms thereof, AJP agreed to purchase from the Company an aggregate of 20,833,333 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Purchased Shares”) for a purchase price of $0.84 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $17.5 million.

 

Pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the Subscription Agreement, the Purchased Shares will be issued in two tranches: (i) 14,880,952 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Initial Shares”) will be issued in consideration for an aggregate purchase price of $12.5 million (“First Closing”) and (ii) 5,952,381 shares will be issued for an aggregate purchase of $5.0 million.

 

The first closing was completed on July 13, 2022. Prior to June 30, 2022, $6.8 million was received and is recorded as a liability on the balance sheet at June 30, 2022. On July 12, 2022 the remaining $5.7 million was received for the first closing and 14,880,952 shares of the Company’s common stock were issued to AJP and their designees.

 

Between August 1, 2022 and August 3, 2022, $5 million was received for the “Second Closing”. On August 8, 2022, the Second Closing was completed and 5,952,381 shares of the Company’s common stock were issued to AJP and their designees.

 

In connection with the closings, the Company incurred approximately $3 million of expenses which will be offset against the proceeds in the third quarter of 2022.

 

Completion of the First Closing was subject to the satisfaction of several conditions, including: (i) approval of the Subscription Agreement by the requisite vote of the Company’s stockholders; (ii) resignation of all members of the Board of Directors, other than the Continuing Directors; and (iii) certain other customary conditions.
