Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
From September 7 through October 18, 2011, the Registrant sold to thirty accredited investors, in private placement transactions, an aggregate of 1,717,227 units at $0.55 per unit, resulting in gross proceeds to the Registrant of $944,483.55. Each unit represents a share of the Registrant’s common stock and a warrant to purchase 0.30 shares of the Registrant’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.60 per share. The warrants are fully vested and exercisable for three years from the date of issuance.
In making the stock issuances described above without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), the Registrant relied upon one or more of the exemptions from registration contained in and/or promulgated under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act as each of the stock recipients in the private placement transactions was an accredited investor and no general solicitation or advertising was used in connection with such stock issuances.
