On May 2, 2022, the Company entered into an ATM Sales Agreement with Oppenheimer & Co. Inc., Craig-Hallum Capital Group LLC, and Roth Capital Partners, LLC pursuant to which the Company may sell from time-to-time shares of its common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $50,000,000 (the “2022 Equity Offering Program”).

If, in the future, the Company determines to resume sales pursuant to the 2022 Equity Offering Program, it intends to notify investors by the filing of a Current Report on Form 8-K or other public announcement.

 

Equity Incentive Plans

 

During the six months ended December 31, 2022, the Company granted employees options to purchase an aggregate of approximately 235 thousand shares of common stock. The fair values of the Company’s options were estimated at the dates of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:

Exercise price   $ 2.83 – 3.57  
Expected term (years)     4.00 - 4.75  
Volatility     67 – 68 %
Risk-free interest rate     3.77 – 4.59 %
Dividend yield     0 %
Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value of Options granted during the period   $ 1.87  

  

During the six months ended December 31, 2022 the Company awarded certain employees and directors grants of an aggregate of approximately 1.0 million restricted stock units (“RSUs”) with a weighted average grant date fair value of $3.51. The RSUs will be expensed over the requisite service period. The terms of the RSUs include vesting provisions based solely on continued service. If the service criteria are satisfied, the RSUs will generally vest over 4 – 5 years.

 

During the six months ended December 31, 2022 the Company awarded certain employees grants of an aggregate of approximately 0.39 million restricted stock units with market value appreciation conditions (“MVSUs”) with a weighted average grant date fair value of $7.86. The MVSUs will be expensed over the requisite service period. The terms of the MVSUs include vesting provisions based on continued service. The number of shares of the Company’s common stock earned at vesting is based on the Company’s stock price performance with amounts earned subject to a vesting multiplier ranging from 0% to 200%. If the service criteria are satisfied, the MVSUs will vest over 3 years.
