On November 14, 2021, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “SPA”), with an institutional investor (the “Investor”) providing for the sale and issuance in series of registered direct offerings of senior convertible notes (the “Notes”) in the aggregate original principal amount of up to $5.3 million (the “Offering”). On November 17, 2021, at the initial closing of this Offering, the Company sold and issued $1.06 million in aggregate principal amount of Notes to the Investor pursuant to a prospectus supplement to its effective shelf registration statement Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-237772). The Notes have an original issue discount of 6%, resulting in net proceeds to the Company of $1.0 million before other debt issuance costs, and mature on May 17, 2022. The Notes shall not bear interest except upon the occurrence of an event of default. After the occurrence of an event of default, the Notes will accrue interest at the rate of 15% per annum; provided, however, that in the event that such event of default is subsequently cured (and no other default then exists (including, without limitation, for the Company's failure to timely pay such interest at the default rate)), interest shall cease to accrue as of the calendar day immediately following the date of such cure. The Notes are senior to other indebtedness of the Company.
The Notes have an initial fixed conversion price of $0.2611. The initial fixed conversion price is subject to proportional adjustment upon the occurrence of any stock split, stock dividend, stock combination and/or similar transactions and full-ratchet adjustment in connection with a subsequent offering at a per share price less than the fixed conversion price then in effect. Upon each additional closing, the fixed conversion price of all outstanding Notes are subject to downward adjustment if greater than the lower of (i) 120% of the closing bid price of the Company's common stock on the trading day immediately preceding such additional closing date; and (ii) 120% of the arithmetic average of the volume weighted average prices of the Company's common stock on the five trading days preceding the additional closing.
The holder may convert any part of the Notes into shares of common stock at an “Alternate Conversion Price” equal to the lesser of (i) the fixed conversion price then in effect; (ii) the greater of the floor price of $0.01 and 90% of the arithmetic average of the three lowest daily volume weighted average prices of the Company's common stock during the ten trading days immediately prior to such conversion; and (iii) the greater of the floor price and 97% of the lowest sale price of the Company's common stock on the applicable conversion date.
In connection with a change of control of the Company, each holder may require the Company to redeem in cash any portion of the Notes at the greater of the face value, a 15% redemption premium to the equity value of our common stock underlying the Notes and the equity value of the change of control consideration payable to the holder of common stock underlying the Notes. The equity value of our common stock underlying the Notes is calculated using the greatest closing sale price of Company common stock during the period immediately preceding the consummation or the public announcement of the change of control and ending the date the holder gives notice of such redemption. The equity value of the change of control consideration payable to the holder of common stock underlying the Notes is calculated using the aggregate cash consideration per share of common stock to be paid to the holders of common stock upon the change of control.
If an event of default occurs, each holder may require the Company to redeem all or any portion of the Notes (including all accrued and unpaid interest and late charges thereon), in cash, at the greater of the face value and a 15% redemption premium or (10% if such event of default is a price default) to the greater of the face value and the equity value of the common stock underlying the Notes. The equity value of the common stock underlying the Notes is calculated using the greatest closing sale price of the common stock on any trading day immediately preceding such event of default and the date the entire payment is made.
If the Company consummates a subsequent public or private offering of securities, each holder of Notes may require the Company to use up to 20% of the gross proceeds of such subsequent placement (less any reasonable placement agent, underwriter and/or legal fees and expenses) to redeem in cash all, or any portion, of the Notes, at a 5% redemption premium.

The Company may redeem, at any time, any portion of the outstanding Notes in cash with a 15% redemption premium to the greater of the face value of the Notes or the equity value of its common stock.
On March 25, 2022, the Company sold and issued an additional $1.06 million principal amount of the Notes under this Offering (the "Second Tranche"), which Notes were offered pursuant to a prospectus supplement to the Company's effective shelf registration statement Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-237772). The Notes issued in the Second Tranche also have an OID of 6%, resulting in net proceeds of the Company of $1.0 million, before other debt issuance costs. The Notes issued in the Second Tranche mature on September 25, 2022.
During the three months ended March 31, 2022, holders of certain Notes converted amounts payable under such Notes into an aggregate of 6,804,281 shares of Company common stock at a weighted average conversion price of $0.10 per share, resulting in a reduction of the Note balance of $0.7 million and the recognition of additional interest expense of $0.6 million. Subsequent to March 31, 2022, holders of certain of the Notes converted amounts payable under such Notes into an additional 1,559,428 shares of Company common stock at a weighted average conversion price of $0.08 per share, resulting in a further reduction of the Note balance of $0.1 million, and the recognition of additional interest expense was immaterial.
Subsequent to March 31, 2022, the volume weighted average price ("VWAP") of the Company's common stock was below $0.10 for more than 5 days, which constitutes a price default in accordance with the SPA. As a result, from the date of such default and for so long as such default remains uncured, the Notes will accrue interest at a rate of 15% per annum, and the holder now has the right to require the Company to redeem all or any portion of the Notes (including all accrued and unpaid interest and late charges thereon), in cash, at a price not less than the face value of the Notes and a 10% redemption premium, as determined in accordance with the terms of the Notes. The Company is in communications with the holder of the Notes regarding the default, and anticipates to come to a mutually agreeable resolution related thereto, although no assurances can be given.
