In conjunction with the extension of the Facility, the Company drew down $5,000,000 of funds from the Facility at 12% interest per annum due November 4, 2022. Additionally, on August 31, 2021 the Company issued to the Foundation warrants to purchase 50,000 shares of the Company’s common stock exercisable for five years from the date of issuance at the exercise price of $5.89 per share.
