As your offering does not appear to meet these provisions, an "at the market" offering by those affiliates is not permissible. Your offering should be revised to price the shares being offered by affiliates for the duration of the offering. The affiliates must resell their securities for the $0.05 per share price for the duration of the offering. The prospectus should also make clear the fact that these persons are considered underwriters of this offering.
