In the private placement, the Company has agreed to sell (i) 2,320,000 shares of its common stock together with warrants to purchase up to 2,320,000 shares of common stock, and (ii) 2,628,453 pre-funded warrants with each pre-funded warrant exercisable for one share of common stock, together with common warrants to purchase up to 2,628,453 shares of common stock. Each share of common stock and accompanying common warrant are being sold together at a combined offering price of $2.425, and each pre-funded warrant and accompanying common warrant are being sold together at a combined offering price of $2.4249.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the private placement for general corporate purposes, including working capital, operating expenses, and capital expenditures, as well as for certain expenses associated with the sponsorship by its wholly-owned subsidiary, ShiftPixy Investments, Inc., of certain special purpose acquisition companies (“SPACs”), as previously announced.
