4 terms
At The Market Offering Agreement financial
"suspended sales of its common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), pursuant to that certain At The Market Offering Agreement dated February 14, 2024"
An at-the-market offering agreement is a contract that lets a company sell newly issued shares directly into the open market through a broker, at whatever price the stock is trading at that moment. For investors this matters because it can increase the number of shares available (which may dilute existing ownership) while providing a flexible, often faster way for the company to raise cash without fixing a price, similar to a vendor selling small batches at current market stalls rather than setting a single fixed price.
prospectus supplement regulatory
"Since filing of the March 28, 2025 prospectus supplement for up to $11,200,000 under the sales agreement"
A prospectus supplement is an additional document provided alongside a company's main offering details, offering updated or extra information about a specific financial product being sold. It helps investors understand the latest terms, risks, and details of the investment, similar to how an update or revision clarifies or expands on original instructions, ensuring they have current and complete information before making a decision.
gross proceeds financial
"we have offered and sold 3,116,012 shares of common stock for gross proceeds of approximately $5,680,924"
The total amount of cash a company receives from a financing event or sale before any fees, expenses, taxes or deductions are taken out. Investors watch gross proceeds because it shows the raw scale of new capital being raised—think of it as the paycheck amount before withholdings—which helps assess how much funding is available for operations, growth, debt payoff or how much shareholder dilution might occur once costs are removed.
emerging growth company regulatory
"405) or Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (17 CFR §240.12b-2). Emerging growth company"
An emerging growth company is a recently public or smaller public firm that qualifies for temporary, lighter regulatory and disclosure rules to reduce the cost and effort of being public. For investors, it means the company may provide less historical financial detail and face fewer reporting requirements than larger firms, so it can grow more quickly but also carries higher uncertainty—like buying a promising early-stage product with fewer user reviews.
