Beginning June 22, 2015 and through June 30, 2015, the Company entered into a series of substantially similar subscription agreements (each a “Subscription Agreement”) with 20 accredited investors (collectively, the “2015 Investors”) providing for the issuance and sale by the Company to the 2015 Investors, in a private placement, of an aggregate of 14,390,754 Units (“Unit”) at a purchase price of $0.22 per Unit (the “2015 Private Placement Financing”). Each Unit consisted of a share of Common Stock (the “2015 Shares”) and a Series D Warrant to purchase a share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.25 per share at any time prior to the fifth anniversary of the issuance date of the Series D Warrant (the “Series D Warrants” and the shares issuable upon exercise of the Series D Warrants, collectively, the “2015 Warrant Shares”). The Company did not engage any underwriter or placement agent in connection with the 2015 Private Placement Financing, and the aggregate gross proceeds raised by the Company in the 2015 Private Placement Financing totaled approximately $3,200,000.

  

The Company’s obligation to issue and sell the 2015 Shares and the Series D Warrants and the corresponding obligation of the 2015 Investors to purchase such 2015 Shares and Series D Warrants were subject to a number of conditions precedent including, but not limited to, the amendment of the Company’s Series A Warrants and Series C Warrants to delete certain of the anti-dilution provisions contained therein, as described in Note 5, 2014 Private Placement Financing, and other customary closing conditions. The conditions precedent were satisfied June 30, 2015 (the “Initial Closing Date”), and the Company conducted an initial closing (the “Initial Closing”) pursuant to which it sold and 19 of the 2015 Investors (the “ Initial Investors ”) purchased 13,936,367 Units at an aggregate purchase price of $3,066,000. On July 2, 2015, the Company conducted a second closing (the “Second Closing” and together with the Initial Closing, the “Closings”) pursuant to which it sold and one of the 2015 Investors purchased 454,387 Units at an aggregate purchase price of $100,000.

 

On the Initial Closing Date, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement with the Initial Investors (the “2015 Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company was obligated, subject to certain conditions, to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission within 90 days after the closing of the 2015 Private Placement Financing one or more registration statements (any such registration statement, a “Resale Registration Statement”) to register the 2015 Shares and the 2015 Warrant Shares for resale under the Securities Act. The remaining 2015 Investor became a party to the 2015 Registration Rights Agreement upon the consummation of the Second Closing. The Company’s failure to satisfy certain filing and effectiveness deadlines with respect to a Resale Registration Statement and certain other requirements set forth in the 2015 Registration Rights Agreement may subject the Company to payment of monetary penalties. On October 27, 2015, we received from the SEC a Notice of Effectiveness of our Registration Statement related to the 2015 Private Placement Financing (the “2015 S-1”) which satisfied some of our obligation to register these securities with the SEC.

 

The 2015 Registration Rights Agreement also obligated the Company to register the resale of all securities covered by the 2015 Registration Rights Agreement on a short-form registration statement on Form S-3 as soon as the Company becomes eligible to use Form S-3. On October 31, 2016, the Company filed a resale registration statement on Form S-3 (the “2015 S-3”) to register the remaining securities covered by the 2015 Registration Rights Agreement, and the 2015 S-3 was declared effective on November 23, 2016. Pursuant to Rule 429 promulgated under the Securities Act, the 2015 S-3 contained a combined prospectus that covered the securities that remained unsold under the 2015 S-1 and also registered those same securities under the 2015 S-3. Under Rule 429, the 2015 S-3 also constituted a post-effective amendment to the 2015 S-1, which became effective on the date that the 2015 S-3 was declared effective.

 

Following each Closing, each 2015 Investor was also issued Series D Warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s Common Stock up to 100% of the 2015 Shares purchased by such 2015 Investor under such 2015 Investor’s Subscription Agreement. The Series D Warrants have an exercise price of $0.25 per share, are exercisable immediately after their issuance and have a term of exercise equal to five years after their issuance date. The number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock into which each of the Series D Warrants is exercisable and the exercise price therefore are subject to adjustment, as set forth in the Series D Warrants, including adjustments for stock subdivisions or combinations (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, scheme, arrangement or otherwise). In addition, at any time during the term of the Series D Warrants, the Company may reduce the then-current exercise price to any amount and for any period of time deemed appropriate by the Board of the Company.

 

During the year ended September 30, 2018, Series D Warrants had been exercised on a cash basis for an aggregate issuance of 227,273 shares of the Company’s Common Stock resulting in gross proceeds to the Company of $56,818. During the year ended September 30, 2017, Series D Warrants had been exercised on a cash basis for an aggregate issuance of 1,750,001 shares of the Company’s Common stock resulting in gross proceeds to the Company of $437,500. As of September 30, 2018, up to 8,974,389 shares may be acquired upon the exercise of the Series D Warrants.

 

 

At the June 30, 2015 Initial Closing Date of the 2015 Private Placement Financing, the Company issued 13,936,367 shares of Common Stock. On July 2, 2015, the Company conducted the Second Closing pursuant to which it sold and one of the 2015 Investors purchased 454,387 shares of Common Stock.

 

 

The Company accounted for the Series D Warrants relating to the aforementioned 2015 Private Placement Financing in accordance with ASC 815-40,

. Because the Series D Warrants are indexed to the Company’s stock, they are classified within stockholders’ equity in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
