The preferred shares contain a conversion price of $4.96 per share. Pursuant to the debt purchase agreement, the Company agreed to grant the investor the right to purchase up to an additional $10.0 million worth of convertible preferred shares beginning six months after the closing and continuing for as long as the investor owns preferred shares.

NLS also announced that it believes it has regained compliance with the minimum bid price requirement pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), due to the fact that its common shares have traded above $1.00 for ten consecutive trading days.
