The Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) approved a plan on January 31, 2023 to preserve the Company’s cash to be able to continue to pursue a satisfactory strategic alternative for the purpose of maximizing the value of the Company’s business while also having sufficient cash to adequately fund an orderly wind down of the Company’s operations (the “Cash Preservation Plan”) in the event it is unable to secure a satisfactory strategic alternative.

On March 7, 2023, the Company sold its equipment in its San Diego laboratory to a third party and received $200,000 in consideration for such sale. On March 24, 2023 the Company terminated its (a) Equity Distribution Agreement, dated April 8, 2022, by and between the Company and Canaccord Genuity LLC, regarding the issue and sale, from time to time, of shares of the Company’s common stock for an aggregate offering price of up to $20,000,000, and (b) Purchase Agreement, dated March 28, 2022, by and between the Company and Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC, regarding the issue and sale, from time to time, of shares of the Company’s common stock for an aggregate offering price of up to $15,000,000.
