Note 10. Loan and Security Agreement

Loan and Security Agreement

On November 13, 2023, the Company entered into an LSA with 22NW, LP (“22NW”) and JFL Capital Management LLC (“JFL” and collectively with 22NW, the “Lenders”) which will allow the Company to draw up to $10 million (the “Facility Amount”) as needed to fund future operations until the third anniversary of the LSA (the “Maturity Date”). Pursuant to the LSA, if the Company elects to draw on the Facility Amount (an “Advance”), JFL has the right, but not the obligation to fund 50% of the Advance at the request of the Company. If JFL elects not to fund 50% of the Advance, then 22NW will fund 100% of the Advance. The outstanding balance will accrue interest at 0.25% per annum and no fee will be assessed on the unused balance. Upon the draw of at least $3 million in the aggregate, the LSA will be collateralized by substantially all of the Company’s assets. All principal drawn and interest accrued under the LSA will be due and payable on the Maturity Date.

The Company issued 300,000 shares of common stock to 22NW upon the signing of the LSA. The Company will also issue 0.03 shares of common stock per dollar loaned in each Advance (rounded up or down to the nearest whole share) up to a maximum aggregate of 300,000 (the “Advance Shares”); provided that a minimum of 50,000 Advance Shares will be issued in connection with the first Advance. The Advance Shares shall be issued to the Lenders on a pro rata basis according to the portion of each Advance such Lender funds. There was no balance outstanding under the LSA as of June 30, 2024.

Joseph F. Lawler, M.D., Ph.D., the Company’s founder and a member of its Board of Directors, is the founder and Managing Member of JFL. Aron R. English, the President and Portfolio Manager of 22NW, and Nathaniel Calloway, the lead for 22NW, are each members of the Company’s Board of Directors.
