Item 3.

SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION

Effective April 26, 2019, the Issuer effected a 1-for-20 reverse stock split of its outstanding Common Stock. Where applicable, Common Stock share amounts described below have been adjusted to give effect to the 1-for-20 reverse stock split, with fractional shares rounded down to the nearest whole share.

On September 17, 2018, the Reporting Person purchased 916,030 shares of Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $3,000,000 from the Issuer in a private placement pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement, dated September 13, 2018, by and between the Issuer and the Reporting Person (the “September 2018 Purchase Agreement”). Prior to the closing of the transactions contemplated by the September 2018 Purchase Agreement, the Reporting Person had acquired 179,190 shares of Common Stock in open market purchases. The aggregate purchase price for such 179,190 shares was approximately $1,300,000.

On March 22, 2019, the Reporting Person purchased 17,857 shares of Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $50,000 from the Issuer in a private placement pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement, dated March 22, 2019, by and between the Issuer and the Reporting Person (the “March 2019 Purchase Agreement”). While the March 2109 Purchase Agreement contemplated subsequent closings at which the Reporting Person would acquire additional shares of Common Stock, no such subsequent closings occurred, and no additional shares of Common Stock were acquired pursuant to the March 2019 Purchase Agreement.

On June 13, 2019, the Issuer entered into an underwriting agreement relating to an underwritten public offering of 8,000,000 shares of Common Stock. The Reporting Person purchased 4,000,000 shares of Common Stock from the underwriter in the underwritten public offering for an aggregate purchase price of $3,000,000. The closing of such purchase occurred on June 18, 2019.

On December 6, 2019, the Reporting Person subscribed for 555,555 shares of Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $500,000 from the Issuer in a private placement pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement, dated December 6, 2019, by and between the Issuer and the Reporting Person (the “December 2019 Purchase Agreement”).

On February 13, 2020, the Reporting Person subscribed for 2,373,529 shares of Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $2,017,500 from the Issuer in a private placement pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement, dated February 13, 2020, by and between the Issuer and the Reporting Person (the “February 2020 Purchase Agreement”).

The closing of the August 2020 Purchase Agreement is subject to conditions outside the reasonable control of the Reporting Person. Additional shares of Common Stock may be purchased pursuant to the terms of the August 2020 Purchase Agreement at Subsequent Closings (as defined in the August 2020 Purchase Agreement), subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the August 2020 Purchase Agreement.

The funds used for the purchase of 179,190 shares of Common Stock in the open market, for the subscription for 555,555 shares of Common Stock pursuant to the December 2019 Purchase Agreement, for the subscription for 2,373,529 shares of Common Stock pursuant to the February 2020 Purchase Agreement and for the subscription for 5,000 shares of Common Stock pursuant to the August 2020 Purchase Agreement were derived from personal funds of the Reporting Person. The funds used for the purchase of the remaining shares of Common Stock reported in this Item 3 of this Schedule 13D were derived from a revolving line of credit (the “Revolving Line of Credit”) entered into by and between the Reporting Person and Phelps Tointon, Inc. that has been in effect since June 4, 2010 and from which the Reporting Person draws for the Reporting Person’s general investments.
