After paying 20% of gross proceeds to Streeterville Capital under a standstill agreement, net proceeds are only about $1.3 million. The offering includes warrants with anti-dilution provisions that could further depress the stock price. The company faces Nasdaq delisting for failing the minimum bid price and market value requirements, and the prospectus warns Nasdaq may halt or delist the stock due to this offering's dilutive nature.
