Closes in a row below the lower bollinger band again can’t we be done with this BS already :
“The shares of Class A Common Stock (the “Class A Common Stock”) to which this prospectus relates have been or may be issued by us to B. Riley Principal Capital II, LLC (the “Selling Stockholder”) pursuant to a common stock purchase agreement, dated as of August 10, 2022, we entered into with the Selling Stockholder, which we refer to in this prospectus as the Purchase Agreement. Such shares of Class A Common Stock include (i) up to 9,037,343 shares that we may, in our sole discretion, elect sell to the Selling Stockholder, from time to time after the date of this prospectus, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and (ii) 90,367 shares of Class A Common Stock we issued to the Selling Stockholder on August 10, 2022 as part of the Commitment Fee (as defined below) and in consideration for its commitment to purchase shares of our Class A Common Stock in one or more purchases that we may, in our sole discretion, direct them to make, from time to time after the date of this prospectus, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.
We are not selling any securities under this prospectus and will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of our Class A Common Stock by the Selling Stockholder. However, we may receive up to $30,000,000 aggregate gross proceeds under the Purchase Agreement from sales of Class A Common Stock we may elect to make to the Selling Stockholder pursuant to the Purchase Agreement after the date of this prospectus. See “The Committed Equity Financing” for a description of the Purchase Agreement and “Selling Stockholder” for additional information regarding the Selling Stockholder.”
“ THE COMMITTED EQUITY FINANCING
On August 10, 2022, we entered into the Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement with the Selling Stockholder. Under the Purchase Agreement, from and after the Commencement Date, we will have the right to sell to the Selling Stockholder up to the Total Commitment of shares of our Class A Common Stock, subject to certain limitations set forth in the Purchase Agreement, from time to time during the term of the Purchase Agreement. Sales of Class A Common Stock by us to the Selling Stockholder under the Purchase Agreement, and the timing of any such sales, are solely at our option, and we are under no obligation to sell any securities to the Selling Stockholder under the Purchase Agreement. In accordance with our obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement, we have filed the registration statement that includes this prospectus with the SEC to register under the Securities Act the resale by the Selling Stockholder of up to 9,127,710 shares of Class A Common Stock, consisting of (i) 90,367 Commitment Shares that we issued to the Selling Stockholder as part of the Commitment Fee and in consideration for its commitment to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock at our election under the Purchase Agreement, and (ii) up to 9,037,343 shares of Class A Common Stock that we may elect, in our sole discretion, to issue and sell to the Selling Stockholder under the Purchase Agreement, from time to time from and after the Commencement Date.
We do not have the right to commence any sales of our Class A Common Stock to the Selling Stockholder under the Purchase Agreement until the Commencement Date, which is the date on which all of the conditions to the Selling Stockholder’s purchase obligation set forth in the Purchase Agreement have initially been satisfied, including that the registration statement that includes this prospectus be declared effective by the SEC. From and after the Commencement Date, we will have the right, but not the obligation, from time to time at our sole discretion over the 24-month period beginning on the Commencement Date, to direct the Selling Stockholder to purchase up to a specified maximum amount of shares of Class A Common Stock in one or more Purchases and Intraday Purchases as set forth in the Purchase Agreement, by timely delivering a written Purchase Notice for each Purchase, and timely delivering a written Intraday Purchase Notice for each Intraday Purchase, if any, to the Selling Stockholder in accordance with the Purchase Agreement on any trading day we select as the Purchase Date therefor, so long as (i) the closing sale price of our Class A Common Stock on the trading day immediately prior to such Purchase Date is not less than the Threshold Price and (ii) all shares of Class A Common Stock subject to all prior Purchases and all prior Intraday Purchases effected by us under the Purchase Agreement have been received by the Selling Stockholder prior to the time we deliver such notice to the Selling Stockholder.
From and after Commencement, the Company will control the timing and amount of any sales of Class A Common Stock to the Selling Stockholder. Actual sales of shares of our Class A Common Stock to the Selling Stockholder under the Purchase Agreement will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by us from time to time, including, among other things, market conditions, the trading price of our Class A Common Stock and determinations by us as to the appropriate sources of funding for our company and its operations.
Under the applicable Nasdaq rules, in no event may we issue to the Selling Stockholder under the Purchase Agreement shares of Class A Common Stock in excess of the Exchange Cap, which is 3,373,121 shares of Class A Common Stock (such number of shares equal to 19.99% of the sum of shares of Class A Common Stock and shares of our Class B Common Stock, in each case, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the execution of the Purchase Agreement), unless (i) we obtain stockholder approval to issue shares of Class A Common Stock in excess of the Exchange Cap in accordance with applicable Nasdaq rules, or (ii) the average price per share paid by the Selling Stockholder for all of the shares of Class A Common Stock that we direct the Selling Stockholder to purchase from us pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, if any, equals or exceeds $3.44 per share (representing the lower of the official closing price of our Class A Common Stock on Nasdaq on the trading day immediately preceding the date of the Purchase Agreement and the average official closing price of our Class A Common Stock on Nasdaq for the five consecutive trading days ending on the trading day immediately preceding the date of the Purchase Agreement, as adjusted pursuant to applicable Nasdaq rules). Moreover, we may not issue or sell any shares of Common Stock to the Selling Stockholder under the Purchase Agreement which, when aggregated with all other shares of Class A Common Stock then beneficially owned by the Selling Stockholder and its affiliates (as calculated pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and Rule 13d-3 thereunder), would result in the Selling Stockholder beneficially owning shares of Class A Common Stock in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, which is defined in the Purchase Agreement as 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock.
39
The net proceeds to us from sales that we elect to make to the Selling Stockholder under the Purchase Agreement, if any, will depend on the frequency and prices at which we sell shares of our stock to the Selling Stockholder. We expect that any proceeds received by us from such sales to the Selling Stockholder will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes.
Neither we nor the Selling Stockholder may assign or transfer our respective rights and obligations under the Purchase Agreement or the Registration Rights Agreement, and no provision of the Purchase Agreement or the Registration Rights Agreement may be modified or waived by us or the Selling Stockholder.
As consideration for the Selling Stockholder’s commitment to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock at our direction upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement, upon execution of the Purchase Agreement, we paid the Selling Stockholder the Commitment Fee equal to 2.0% of the Total Commitment under the Purchase Agreement, consisting of (i) the $300,000 Cash Commitment Fee” (equal to 1.0% of the Total Commitment under the Purchase Agreement) and (ii) 90,367 Commitment Shares, valued at $3.3198 per Commitment Share (representing the 5-day VWAP immediately prior to execution of the Purchase Agreement and having an aggregate value equal to 1.0% of the Total Commitment under the Purchase Agreement). In addition, we have agreed to reimburse the Selling Stockholder for the reasonable legal fees and disbursements of the Selling Stockholder’s legal counsel in an amount not to exceed (i) $75,000 upon our execution of the Purchase Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement and (ii) $5,000 per fiscal quarter, in each case in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement.
The Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement contain customary representations, warranties, conditions and indemnification obligations of the parties. Copies of the agreements have been filed as exhibits to the registration statement that includes this prospectus and are available electronically on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
Purchases of Class A Common Stock Under the Purchase Agreement
Purchases
From and after the Commencement Date, we will have the right, but not the obligation, from time to time at our sole discretion over the 24-month period beginning on the Commencement Date, to direct the Selling Stockholder to purchase a specified number of shares of Class A Common Stock, not to exceed the applicable Purchase Maximum Amount, in a Purchase under the Purchase Agreement, by timely delivering a written Purchase Notice to the Selling Stockholder, prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on any trading day we select as the Purchase Date for such Purchase, so long as:
? the closing sale price of our Class A Common Stock on the trading day immediately prior to such Purchase Date is not less than the Threshold Price; and
? all shares of Class A Common Stock subject to all prior Purchases and all prior Intraday Purchases effected by us under the Purchase Agreement have been received by the Selling Stockholder prior to the time we deliver such Purchase Notice to the Selling Stockholder.
The Purchase Maximum Amount applicable to such Purchase will be equal to the lesser of:
? 1,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock; and
? 20.0% of the total aggregate number (or volume) of shares of our Class A Common Stock traded on Nasdaq during the applicable Purchase Valuation Period for such Purchase.
40
The actual number of shares of Class A Common Stock that the Selling Stockholder will be required to purchase in a Purchase, which we refer to as the Purchase Share Amount, will be equal to the number of shares that we specify in the applicable Purchase Notice, subject to adjustment to the extent necessary to give effect to the applicable Purchase Maximum Amount and other applicable limitations set forth in the Purchase Agreement, including the Beneficial Ownership Limitation and, if then applicable, the Exchange Cap.
The per share purchase price that the Selling Stockholder will be required to pay for the Purchase Share Amount in a Purchase effected by us pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, if any, will be equal to the VWAP of our Class A Common Stock for the applicable Purchase Valuation Period on the Purchase Date for such Purchase, less a fixed 3.0% discount to the VWAP for such Purchase Valuation Period. The Purchase Valuation Period for a Purchase is defined in the Purchase Agreement as the period beginning at the official open (or “commencement”) of the regular trading session on Nasdaq on the applicable Purchase Date for such Purchase, and ending at the earlier to occur of:
? 3:59 p.m., New York City time, on such Purchase Date or such earlier time publicly announced by the trading market as the official close of the regular trading session on such Purchase Date; and
? such time that the total aggregate number (or volume) of shares of Class A Common Stock traded on Nasdaq during such Purchase Valuation Period reaches the applicable Purchase Share Volume Maximum for such Purchase, which will be determined by dividing (a) the applicable Purchase Share Amount for such Purchase, by (b) 0.20.
Under the Purchase Agreement, for purposes of calculating the volume of shares of Class A Common Stock traded during a Purchase Valuation Period, including for purposes of determining whether the applicable Purchase Share Volume Maximum for a Purchase has been reached, and for purposes of calculating the VWAP of our Class A Common Stock for the applicable Purchase Valuation Period, the following transactions, to the extent they occur during such Purchase Valuation Period, are excluded: (x) the opening or first purchase of Class A Common Stock at or following the official open of the regular trading session on Nasdaq on the applicable Purchase Date for such Purchase, (y) the last or closing sale of Class A Common Stock at or prior to the official close of the regular trading session on Nasdaq on the applicable Purchase Date for such Purchase, and (z) all trades of Class A Common Stock on Nasdaq during such Purchase Valuation Period at a price below the applicable Minimum Price Threshold for such Purchase specified by us in the Purchase Notice for such Purchase, or if we do not specify a Minimum Price Threshold in such Purchase Notice, the Minimum Price Threshold for such Purchase will be a price equal to 75.0% of the closing sale price of the Class A Common Stock on the trading day immediately prior to the applicable Purchase Date for such Purchase.
Intraday Purchases
In addition to the regular Purchases described above, after the Commencement, we will also have the right, but not the obligation, subject to the continued satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement, to direct the Selling Stockholder to purchase, on any trading day we select as the Purchase Date therefor (including the same Purchase Date on which an earlier regular Purchase was effected by us (as applicable), although we are not required to effect an earlier regular Purchase on such Purchase Date in order to effect an Intraday Purchase on such Purchase Date), a specified number of shares of Class A Common Stock, not to exceed the applicable Intraday Purchase Maximum Amount, in an Intraday Purchase under the Purchase Agreement, by timely delivering a written Intraday VWAP Purchase Notice to the Selling Stockholder, after 10:00 a.m., New York City time (and after the Purchase Valuation Period for any prior regular Purchase (if any) and the Intraday Purchase Valuation Period for the most recent prior Intraday Purchase effected on the same Purchase Date (if any) have ended), and prior to 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on such Purchase Date, so long as:
? the closing sale price of our Class A Common Stock on the trading day immediately prior to such Purchase Date is not less than the Threshold Price; and
? all shares of Class A Common Stock subject to all prior Purchases and all prior Intraday Purchases effected by us under the Purchase Agreement have been received by the Selling Stockholder prior to the time we deliver such Intraday Purchase Notice to the Selling Stockholder.
The Intraday Purchase Maximum Amount applicable to such Intraday Purchase will be equal to the lesser of:
? 1,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock; and
? 20.0% of the total aggregate number (or volume) of shares of our Class A Common Stock traded on Nasdaq during the applicable Intraday Purchase Valuation Period for such Intraday Purchase.
41
The actual number of shares of Class A Common Stock that the Selling Stockholder will be required to purchase in an Intraday Purchase, which we refer to as the Intraday Purchase Share Amount, will be equal to the number of shares that we specify in the applicable Intraday Purchase Notice, subject to adjustment to the extent necessary to give effect to the applicable Intraday Purchase Maximum Amount and other applicable limitations set forth in the Purchase Agreement, including the Beneficial Ownership Limitation and, if then applicable, the Exchange Cap.
The per share purchase price that the Selling Stockholder will be required to pay for the Intraday Purchase Share Amount in an Intraday Purchase effected by us pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, if any, will be calculated in the same manner as in the case of a regular Purchase, except that the VWAP used to determine the purchase price for the Intraday Purchase Share Amount to be purchased in an Intraday Purchase will be equal to the VWAP for the applicable Intraday Purchase Valuation Period on the Purchase Date for such Intraday Purchase, less a fixed 3.0% discount to the VWAP for such Intraday Purchase Valuation Period. The Intraday Purchase Valuation Period for an Intraday Purchase is defined in the Purchase Agreement as the period during the regular trading session on Nasdaq on such Purchase Date, beginning at the latest to occur of:
? such time of confirmation of the Selling Stockholder’s receipt of the applicable Intraday Purchase Notice;
? such time that the Purchase Valuation Period for any prior regular Purchase effected on the same Purchase Date (if any) has ended; and
? such time that the Intraday Purchase Valuation Period for the most recent prior Intraday Purchase effected on the same Purchase Date (if any) has ended,
and ending at the earlier to occur of:
? 3:59 p.m., New York City time, on such Purchase Date or such earlier time publicly announced by the trading market as the official close of the regular trading session on such Purchase Date; and
? such time that the total aggregate number (or volume) of shares of Class A Common Stock traded on Nasdaq during such Intraday Purchase Valuation Period reaches the applicable Intraday Purchase Share Volume Maximum for such Intraday Purchase, which will be determined by dividing (a) the applicable Intraday Purchase Share Amount for such Intraday Purchase, by (b) 0.20.
As with regular Purchases, for purposes of calculating the volume of shares of Class A Common Stock traded during an Intraday Purchase Valuation Period, including for purposes of determining whether the applicable Intraday Purchase Share Volume Maximum for an Intraday Purchase has been reached, and for purposes of calculating the VWAP of our Class A Common Stock for the applicable Intraday Purchase Valuation Period, the following transactions, to the extent they occur during such Intraday Purchase Valuation Period, are excluded: (x) the opening or first purchase of Class A Common Stock at or following the official open of the regular trading session on Nasdaq on the applicable Purchase Date for such Intraday Purchase, (y) the last or closing sale of Class A Common Stock at or prior to the official close of the regular trading session on Nasdaq on the applicable Purchase Date for such Intraday Purchase, and (z) all trades of Class A Common Stock on Nasdaq during such Intraday Purchase Valuation Period at a price below the applicable Minimum Price Threshold for such Intraday Purchase specified by us in the Intraday Purchase Notice for such Intraday Purchase, or if we do not specify a Minimum Price Threshold in such Intraday Purchase Notice, the Minimum Price Threshold for such Intraday Purchase will be a price equal to 75.0% of the closing sale price of the Class A Common Stock on the trading day immediately prior to the applicable Purchase Date for such Intraday Purchase.
We may, in our sole discretion, timely deliver multiple Intraday Purchase Notices to the Selling Stockholder prior to 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on a single Purchase Date to effect multiple Intraday Purchases on such same Purchase Date, provided that the Purchase Valuation Period for any earlier regular Purchase effected on the same Purchase Date (as applicable) and the Intraday Purchase Valuation Period for the most recent prior Intraday Purchase effected on the same Purchase Date have ended prior to 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on such Purchase Date, and so long as all shares of Class A Common Stock subject to all prior Purchases and all prior Intraday Purchases effected by us under the Purchase Agreement, including those effected earlier on the same Purchase Date (as applicable), have been received by the Selling Stockholder prior to the time we deliver to the Selling Stockholder a new Intraday Purchase Notice to effect an additional Intraday Purchase on the same Purchase Date as an earlier regular Purchase (as applicable) and one or more earlier Intraday Purchases effected on such same Purchase Date.
42
The terms and limitations that will apply to each subsequent additional Intraday Purchase effected on the same Purchase Date will be the same as those applicable to any earlier regular Purchase (as applicable) and any earlier Intraday Purchase effected on the same Purchase Date as such subsequent additional Intraday Purchase, and the per share purchase price for the shares of Class A Common Stock that we elect to sell to the Selling Stockholder in each subsequent additional Intraday Purchase effected on the same Purchase Date as an earlier regular Purchase (as applicable) and/or earlier Intraday Purchase(s) effected on such Purchase Date will be calculated in the same manner as in the case of such earlier regular Purchase (as applicable) and such earlier Intraday Purchase(s) effected on the same Purchase Date as such subsequent additional Intraday Purchase, with the exception that the Intraday Purchase Valuation Period for each subsequent additional Intraday Purchase will begin and end at different times (and may vary in duration) during the regular trading session on such Purchase Date, in each case as determined in accordance with the Purchase Agreement.
In the case of Purchases and Intraday Purchases effected by us under the Purchase Agreement, if any, all share and dollar amounts used in determining the purchase price per share of Class A Common Stock to be purchased by the Selling Stockholder in a Purchase or an Intraday Purchase (as applicable), or in determining the applicable maximum purchase share amounts or applicable volume or price threshold amounts in connection with any such Purchase or Intraday Purchase (as applicable), in each case, will be equitably adjusted for any reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other similar transaction occurring during any period used to calculate such per share purchase price, maximum purchase share amounts or applicable volume or price threshold amounts.
At or prior to 5:30 p.m., New York City time, on the applicable Purchase Date for a Purchase and/or Intraday Purchase, the Selling Stockholder will provide us with a written confirmation for such Purchase and/or Intraday Purchase, as applicable, setting forth the applicable purchase price (both on a per share basis and the total aggregate purchase price) to be paid by the Selling Stockholder for the shares of Class A Common Stock purchased by the Selling Stockholder in such Purchase and/or Intraday Purchase, as applicable.
The payment for, against delivery of, shares of Class A Common Stock purchased by the Selling Stockholder in any Purchase or any Intraday Purchase under the Purchase Agreement will be fully settled within two (2) trading days immediately following the applicable Purchase Date for such Purchase or such Intraday Purchase (as applicable), as set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

Prohibition on Variable Rate Transactions
Subject to specified exceptions included in the Purchase Agreement, we are limited in our ability to enter into specified “Variable Rate Transactions” (as such term is defined in the Purchase Agreement) during the term of the Purchase Agreement. Such transactions include, among others, the issuance of convertible securities with a conversion or exercise price that is based upon or varies with the trading price of our Class A Common Stock after the date of issuance, or our effecting or entering into an agreement to effect an “equity line of credit” or other substantially similar continuous offering with a third party, in which we may offer, issue or sell Class A Common Stock or any securities exercisable, exchangeable or convertible into Class A Common Stock at a future determined price.
46
Effect of Sales of our Class A Common Stock under the Purchase Agreement on our Stockholders
All shares of Class A Common Stock that may be issued or sold by us to the Selling Stockholder under the Purchase Agreement that are being registered under the Securities Act for resale by the Selling Stockholder in this offering are expected to be freely tradable. The shares of Class A Common Stock being registered for resale in this offering may be issued and sold by us to the Selling Stockholder from time to time at our discretion over a period of up to 24 months commencing on the Commencement Date. The resale by the Selling Stockholder of a significant amount of shares registered for resale in this offering at any given time, or the perception that these sales may occur, could cause the market price of our Class A Common Stock to decline and to be highly volatile. Sales of our Class A Common Stock, if any, to the Selling Stockholder under the Purchase Agreement will depend upon market conditions and other factors to be determined by us. We may ultimately decide to sell to the Selling Stockholder all, some or none of the shares of our Class A Common Stock that may be available for us to sell to the Selling Stockholder pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.
If and when we do elect to sell shares of our Class A Common Stock to the Selling Stockholder pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, after the Selling Stockholder has acquired such shares, the Selling Stockholder may resell all, some or none of such shares at any time or from time to time in its discretion and at different prices. As a result, investors who purchase shares from the Selling Stockholder in this offering at different times will likely pay different prices for those shares, and so may experience different levels of dilution and in some cases substantial dilution and different outcomes in their investment results. Investors may experience a decline in the value of the shares they purchase from the Selling Stockholder in this offering as a result of future sales made by us to the Selling Stockholder at prices lower than the prices such investors paid for their shares in this offering. In addition, if we sell a substantial number of shares to the Selling Stockholder under the Purchase Agreement, or if investors expect that we will do so, the actual sales of shares or the mere existence of our arrangement with the Selling Stockholder may make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and at a price that we might otherwise wish to effect such sales.
Because the purchase price per share to be paid by the Selling Stockholder for the shares of Class A Common Stock that we may elect to sell to the Selling Stockholder under the Purchase Agreement, if any, will fluctuate based on the market prices of our Class A Common Stock during the applicable Purchase Valuation Period for each Purchase, and during the applicable Intraday Purchase Valuation Period for each Intraday Purchase, made pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, if any, as of the date of this prospectus it is not possible for us to predict the number of shares of Class A Common Stock that we will sell to the Selling Stockholder under the Purchase Agreement, the actual purchase price per share to be paid by the Selling Stockholder for those shares, or the actual gross proceeds to be raised by us from those sales, if any. As of August 10, 2022, there were 6,874,040 shares of our Class A Common Stock outstanding, all of which were held by non-affiliates. Although the Purchase Agreement provides that we may sell up to an aggregate of $30,000,000 of our Class A Common Stock to the Selling Stockholder, only 3,373,121 shares of our Class A Common Stock (representing the maximum number of shares of Class A Common Stock we may issue and sell under the Purchase Agreement under the Exchange Cap limitation) are being registered for resale under the registration statement that includes this prospectus. If all of the 9,127,710 shares offered for resale by the Selling Stockholder under this prospectus were issued and outstanding as of August 10, 2022, such shares would represent approximately 57% of the total number of shares of our Class A Common Stock outstanding and approximately 57% of the total number of outstanding shares held by non-affiliates, in each case as of August 10, 2022.
If it becomes necessary for us to issue and sell to the Selling Stockholder under the Purchase Agreement more shares than are being registered for resale under this prospectus in order to receive aggregate gross proceeds equal to $30,000,000 under the Purchase Agreement, we must first (i) obtain stockholder approval to issue shares of Class A Common Stock in excess of the Exchange Cap under the Purchase Agreement in accordance with applicable Nasdaq rules and (ii) file with the SEC one or more additional registration statements to register under the Securities Act the resale by the Selling Stockholder of any such additional shares of our Class A Common Stock we wish to sell from time to time under the Purchase Agreement, which the SEC must declare effective, in each case before we may elect to sell any additional shares of our Class A Common Stock to the Selling Stockholder under the Purchase Agreement. The number of shares of our Class A Common Stock ultimately offered for sale by the Selling Stockholder is dependent upon the number of shares of Class A Common Stock, if any, we ultimately sell to the Selling Stockholder under the Purchase Agreement.
The issuance of our Class A Common Stock to the Selling Stockholder pursuant to the Purchase Agreement will not affect the rights or privileges of our existing stockholders, except that the economic and voting interests of each of our existing stockholders will be diluted. Although the number of shares of our Class A Common Stock that our existing stockholders own will not decrease, the shares of our Class A Common Stock owned by our existing stockholders will represent a smaller percentage of our total outstanding shares of our Class A Common Stock after any such issuance.

The following table sets forth the amount of gross proceeds we would receive from the Selling Stockholder from our sale of shares of Class A Common Stock to the Selling Stockholder under the Purchase Agreement at varying purchase prices:
Assumed Average Purchase Price Per Share Number of Registered Shares to be Issued if Full Purchase (1) Percentage of Outstanding Shares After Giving Effect to the Issuance to the Selling Stockholder (2) Gross Proceeds from the Sale of Shares to the Selling Stockholder Under the Purchase Agreement
$ 2.00 3,373,121 32.74 % $ 6,746,242
$ 2.25 3,373,121 32.74 % $ 7,589,522
$ 2.71 (3) 3,373,121 32.74 % $ 9,141,158
$ 2.75 3,373,121 32.74 % $ 9,276,083
$ 3.00 3,373,121 32.74 % $ 10,119,363
$ 3.25 3,373,121 32.74 % $ 10,962,643
$ 3.50 8,571,428 83.19 % $ 30,000,000
(1) Excluding the 90,367 Commitment Shares that we issued to the Selling Stockholder. Although the Purchase Agreement provides that we may sell up to $30,000,000 of our Class A Common Stock to the Selling Stockholder, we are only registering 9,127,710 shares under the registration statement that includes this prospectus, which may or may not cover all of the shares we ultimately sell to the Selling Stockholder under the Purchase Agreement. We will not issue more than an aggregate of 3,373,121 shares of our Class A Common Stock (the Exchange Cap, unless otherwise approved by our stockholders or if the average price per share paid by the Selling Stockholder for all of the shares of Class A Common Stock that we direct the Selling Stockholder to purchase from us pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, if any, equals or exceeds $3.44 per share). The number of shares to be issued as set forth in this column (i) gives effect to the Exchange Cap and (ii) is without regard for the Beneficial Ownership Limitation.
(2) The denominator is based on 6,930,771 shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding as of August 10, 2022 (which, for these purposes, includes the 90,367 Commitment Shares we issued to the Selling Stockholder on August 10, 2022), adjusted to include the issuance of the number of shares set forth in the adjacent column that we would have sold to the Selling Stockholder, assuming the average purchase price in the first column. The numerator is based on the number of shares issuable under the Purchase Agreement (that are the subject of this offering) at the corresponding assumed average purchase price set forth in the first column.
(3) The closing sale price of our Class A Common Stock on Nasdaq on August 23, 2022.”
