Contingently Redeemable Common Stock

In connection with the Offer, on December 16, 2020, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with certain purchasers, providing for the sale by the Company of 12,421,242 shares of the Company’s common stock at a purchase price of $11.11 per share for aggregate gross proceeds of $138.0 million. The private placement closed on March 1, 2021, and generated net proceeds of approximately $131.8 million, net of fees related to the private placement. If the Tender Offer Agreement is terminated or the closing of the Offer has not occurred by July 31, 2021, then the Company is required repurchase the shares sold in the private placement for an amount per share equal to the purchase price paid for such shares plus interest at a rate equal to 9.0% per year computed from the date of the closing of the private placement to the date of the repurchase. Since the shares of common stock issued in the private placement are contingently redeemable if the Offer is not successful, the Company will present the shares of common stock subject to repurchase outside of stockholders’ equity in the condensed consolidated balance sheet until the close of the Offer. The Company determined that meeting the contingency is not probable; therefore, the contingently redeemable common stock was not remeasured to fair value at March 31, 2021. When the Offer closes, the shares of common stock issued in the private placement will be reclassified to stockholders’ equity.

Squadron Medical Warrants

As further described in Note 5, during the year ended December 31, 2018, in connection with the initial debt financing with Squadron Medical and a participant lender, the Company issued warrants to purchase 845,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $3.15 per share. An additional 4,838,710 warrants were issued at an exercise price of $2.17 per share during the second quarter of 2019, in conjunction with the Company’s draw on the expanded credit facility. In May 2020, an additional 1,075,820 warrants were issued at an exercise price of $4.88 per share in conjunction with the Company’s second amendment to the Squadron Medical debt for total warrants outstanding to Squadron Medical and the participant lender of 6,759,530. In conjunction with the second amendment, the expiration dates for all existing warrants were extended to May 29, 2027 in order to align all outstanding warrant expiration dates. In accordance with authoritative accounting guidance, the warrants qualified for equity treatment upon issuance and were recorded as a debt discount to the face of the debt liability based on fair value to be amortized into interest expense over the life of the debt agreement. The fair value assigned to the warrant amendment was also allocated as a debt issuance cost and amortized into interest expense. As the warrants provide for partial price protection that allow for a reduction in the price in the event of a lower per share priced issuance, the warrants were valued utilizing a Monte Carlo simulation that considers the probabilities of future financings. The Monte Carlo model simulates the present value of the potential outcomes of future stock prices of the Company over the seven-year life of the warrants. The projection of stock prices is based on the risk-free rate of return and the volatility of the stock price of the Company and correlates future equity raises based on the probabilities provided. No Squadron Medical Warrants have been exercised as of March 31, 2021.

Executive Warrants

In December 2017 the Company issued warrants to Mr. Patrick S. Miles, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, to purchase 1,327,434 shares of the Company’s common stock for $5 per share (the “Executive Warrants”). The warrants have a five-year term. The warrants issued to Mr. Miles were accounted for as share based compensation, and the fair value of the warrants of approximately $1.4 million were recognized in full in the statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2017 as the warrants were immediately vested upon issuance. No Executive Warrants have been exercised as of March 31, 2021.
