Purchase Agreements (the "Purchase Agreement") with certain accredited investors
(the "Purchasers") to issue (a) an aggregate of 9,335,533 shares of the
Company's common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the "Common Stock") and/or
prefunded warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of
$0.01 per share (the "Pre-Funded Warrants"), (b) Series E warrants to purchase
9,335,533 shares of Common Stock, with an exercise price of $2.1275 per share
(subject to adjustment), for a period of twelve months from the date of an

warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 9,335,533 shares of Common stock,
with an exercise price of $1.725 per share (subject to adjustment), for a period
of five years from the date of issuance (the "Series F Warrants" and together
with the Series E Warrants, the "Warrants") at a combined purchase price of
$1.50 per share of Common Stock and Warrants (the "Offering"). The Company
expects to receive total gross proceeds of approximately $14,000,000 in

The Company intends to use the proceeds from the Offering to complete its
current Phase 2 clinical trial for Alzheimer's disease ("AD"), possible
additional future AD trials, the use of Bryostatin for other possible
indications, and for general corporate purposes.
Registration Rights Agreement
In connection with the Purchase Agreement, the Company and the Purchasers
entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the "Registration Rights
Agreement") on January 21, 2021. Under the terms of the Registration Rights
Agreement, the Company agreed to register the shares of Common Stock and the
shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and the Pre-Funded
Warrants sold to the Buyers pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. The Company is
required to file a registration statement for the resale of such securities
within 30 days following the closing date and to use its commercially reasonable
efforts to cause each such registration statement to be declared effective no
later than the earlier of (i) 120 days following the closing date (or 150 days
following the closing date if the Securities and Exchange Commission causes a
delay) and (ii) the fifth business day after the Company is notified that the
registration statement will not be further reviewed. The Company may incur
liquidated damages if it does not meet certain deadlines with respect to its
registration obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement or if certain
other events occur. The Company also agreed to other customary obligations
regarding registration, including indemnification and maintenance of the
effectiveness of the registration statement.

21, 2021 (the "Engagement Letter"), between the Company and Katalyst Securities
LLC ("Katalyst") and a Placement Agency Agreement, dated January 21, 2021 (the
"Placement Agreement" and, together with the Engagement Letter, the "Placement
Agent Agreements"), between the Company and GP Nurmenkari Inc. ("GPN" and,

Stock equal to ten percent (10%) of the number of shares of Common Stock sold to
Purchasers introduced by the Placement Agent, with an exercise price of $1.725
per share and a five-year term (the "Broker Warrants").
The securities under the Purchase Agreement were offered and sold and will be
offered and sold, and the Broker Warrants were issued and will be issued, in
