On February 23, 2017, the Board of Directors of the Company appointed Nathan Wasserman to become Chief Financial Officer of the Company, effective as of March 1, 2017. Pursuant to a term sheet dated February 27, 2017, Mr. Wasserman agreed to serve as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer for an initial term of three years. The Company granted Mr. Wasserman stock options to purchase a total of 500,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.10 per share, of which 150,000 vested immediately, 150,000 vested in his second year of service and 200,000 will vest in his third year of service.

On November 11, 2017, the Company appointed Sam Pitroda to serve as the Company’s new Chief Executive Officer. Since that time, Mr. Pitroda has served as CEO without an employment agreement. The Company and Mr. Pitroda are in discussions to finalize the terms of the employment agreement, although there can be no assurances that an agreement will be reached. On May 31, 2018, the board of directors approved to grant Mr. Pitroda an option to purchase 7,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $2.08 per share. The option expires seven years from the option grant date. The stock subject to the option will vest upon the earlier to occur of (1) the five-year anniversary of the option grant date or (2) the achievement of certain stock price and volume milestones, which are as follows:

$ 11.00       60,000     7,000,000 (100.0%)

 

The total fair value of this option award on the grant date was approximately $7.6 million. The fair value of the option award was determined using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions: risk free interest rate – 2.7%, volatility – 78.0%, expected term – 4 years and dividends– N/A. The Company will amortize the option over its service period of 4.09 years which was derived from a Monte Carlo simulation. Stock-based compensation expense for this option recognized for the year ended December 31, 2018 was $1.1 million.

 

On February 8, 2018, Sam Pitroda through Pitroda Group LLC invested $500,000 and the Company issued 500 Series A Preferred Stock and 250,000 warrants to purchase the Company’s common stock. The warrants have a 5-year term and an exercise price of $2.00.
