Stock Offering
 
On January 9, 2018, the Company entered into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Maxim Group LLC, acting as sole book-running manager (the “Underwriter”), for a public offering (the “Offering”) of a combination of 2,150,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) of the Company, and 1,935,000 warrants to purchase 1,935,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Warrants”). Each share of Common Stock was sold in combination with a Warrant to purchase 0.90 shares of Common Stock. The Warrants have a five-year term and an exercise price of $1.10 per share. The Offering price was $1.00 per share of Common Stock and related Warrant and the Underwriter had agreed to purchase the shares of Common Stock and related Warrants from the Company at a 7.0% discount to the Offering price. In addition, the Company granted to the Underwriter a 45-day option to purchase up to an additional 322,500 shares of Common Stock and/or 290,250 Warrants to purchase 290,250 shares of Common Stock at the same price to cover over-allotments, if any. The underwriter exercised this option is February 2018 resulting in an additional $50,000 from the sale and issuance of 50,000 shares and 272,500 warrants. The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements by the Company, customary conditions to closing, indemnification obligations of the Company and the Underwriter, including for liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, other obligations of the parties and termination provisions.
 
The gross proceeds to the Company from the Offering and overallotment were approximately $2.2 million before underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses.
 
The Offering was made pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 that was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 1, 2017 and a prospectus supplement, dated January 9, 2018, together with the accompanying base prospectus.
 
One of our board members, Joseph Gamberale, participated in the offering and acquired 25,000 units which included 22,500 warrants.
 
Common Stock Private Placements

Each unit sold in these placements consists of one restricted share of AMMA common stock and a warrant to acquire one share of common stock at an exercise price of $1.50 per share.
