Contingent Warrants

Liability-classified warrants consist of warrants to acquire common stock at an exercise price of $5.33 per share as part of the consideration for the acquisition of ITA in 2021, during the earn-out period from 2021 to 2024. Based on our consideration of the ASC 815-40 guidance, we account for these contingent warrants as a liability. The estimated fair value of outstanding contingent warrants accounted for as liabilities is determined at each balance sheet date. Any decrease or increase in the estimated fair value of the warrant liability since the most recent balance sheet date is recorded in the consolidated statement of operations as other income (expense).  

Warrants Issued

On March 31, 2022, the Company issued a warrant to purchase 75,000 shares of common stock as part of the contingent consideration earned by ITA for 2021 EBITDA achievement. The warrant contains a strike price of $5.33 and has a four-year contractual term.
