NEW YORK, NY – 
The Company issued an aggregate of approximately $29.2 million of shares of Series A Preferred Stock in connection with the concurrent offerings, and an aggregate principal amount of $20 million of outstanding promissory notes of the Company held by the institutional lenders was extinguished upon the issuance of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock to such lenders in the registered direct offering. The Company received aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $9.2 million from the underwritten public offering, before deducting underwriting discounts and other estimated offering fees and expenses.
