2020 Convertible Notes

Effective February 8, 2021 the Company’s shareholders and 2020 Convertible Note holders approved amendments to the 2020 Convertible Notes to allow for the issuance of up to $10.0 million in 2020 Convertible Notes for cash (plus up to approximately $3.9 million of 2020 Convertible Notes in exchange for the cancellation of Series B Preferred stock) as well as modifications to the financing’s terms for any 2020 Convertible Noteholder that invested at least $3.0 million of cash since May 4, 2020 in the offering (a “Major Investor”). As of March 12, 2021, the Company completed the $10.0 million 2020 Convertible Note offering. The Company raised approximately $5.0 million from the sale of 2020 Convertible Notes from January 1, 2021 through March 12, 2021 of which approximately $3.9 million were to related parties, including former StemoniX Board members as well as a more than 5% owner of Series B Preferred stock.
