In consideration for the immediate exercise of the Existing Warrants for cash, the exercising holders were issued new unregistered warrants to purchase an aggregate of 20,688,000 million shares of common stock (the “New Warrants”).

The New Warrants each have an exercise price of $0.18 per underlying share and are not exercisable until the Company obtains stockholder approval in accordance with Nasdaq rules. The New Warrants will expire five years from the date such stockholder approval is obtained.
The New Warrants described above were offered in a private placement pursuant to an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and, along with the shares of common stock issuable upon their exercise, have not been registered under the Securities Act, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration with the SEC or an applicable exemption from such registration requirements. The securities were offered only to accredited investors. The Company has agreed to file a registration statement with the SEC covering the resale of the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the New Warrants.
