NOTE 10 - EQUITY

 

  a. Share capital

 

The Company’s common shares are listed on the NYSE American.

 

On February 7, 2018, the Company filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware a Certificate of Amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to effect a one-for-thirty-five reverse stock split of its common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, effective as of February 7, 2018, which decreased the number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock and restricted shares of common stock as of December 31, 2017 from 51.9 million shares to 1.5 million shares.

 

All related share and per share data have been retroactively applied to the financial statements and their related notes for all periods presented.

Status of Share Capital as of December 31, 2018

 

During 2018 and 2017, the Company made multiple transactions related to the capital structure. Following either redemption or conversion of the company’s preferred stock, as of December 31, 2018, the Company has 17,303 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding (convertible into 3,330,828 shares of common stock) out of 442,424 shares originally issued, 61,423 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (convertible into 1,310,357 shares of common stock) out of 1,069,822 shares originally issued and no Series D Convertible Preferred Stock. The respective certificate of designation for our Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and Series C Convertible Preferred Stock contains a full ratchet anti-dilution price protection to be triggered upon issuance of equity or equity-linked securities at an effective common stock purchase price of less than the conversion price in effect, so the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B or C Convertible Preferred Stock could increase if another equity financing is completed at a price lower than the current conversion price of $0.30 per share.

 

Series B Convertible Preferred Stock – The July 2016 Offering

 

On July 7, 2016, the Company closed a public offering of 442,424 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and accompanying warrants (which is referred to as the “Series A Warrants”) to purchase up to 50,620 shares of common stock (the “July 2016 Offering”). Each share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and the accompanying Series A Warrants were sold at a price of $33.00. Each share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock was initially convertible into 0.114 shares of common stock, reflecting a conversion price equal to $288.75 per share. The Series B Convertible Preferred Stock has certain anti-dilution provisions, and as further described below, in accordance with such provisions, the conversion price for the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock was adjusted several times when the Company conducted subsequent equity financings, and as of December 31, 2018, each share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible into 110 shares of common stock at $0.30 per share. The holders of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to receive cumulative dividends at the rate per share of 15% per annum of the stated value for five years, payable in cash or common stock, at the Company’s discretion.

 

The Series B Convertible Preferred Stock will automatically convert into shares of common stock after five years from issuance. Additionally, holders of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock may elect to convert at any time. As further described below, the certificate of designation for the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock was amended in December 2017 to provide for an automatic exchange of each share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock upon consummation of an offering of our common stock or common stock equivalents for gross proceeds of at least $8 million (a “Qualified Offering”) subject to the beneficial ownership limitation. The Series B Convertible Preferred Stock is subject to provisions providing for make-whole payments, pursuant to which, if the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock is converted into shares of common stock at any time prior to the fifth anniversary of the date of issuance, the holders will receive all of the dividends that, but for the early conversion, would have otherwise accrued on the applicable shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock being converted for the period commencing on the conversion date and ending on the fifth anniversary of the date of issuance, less the amount of all prior dividends paid on such converted Series B Convertible Preferred Stock before the date of conversion. The Series A Warrants are exercisable immediately and have a term of exercise of five years from the date of issuance and have an exercise price of $175.00 per share of common stock.

 

The Company received gross proceeds of approximately $14.6 million from the July 2016 Offering, before deducting placement agent fees and offering expenses payable by the Company. In connection with the closing of the offering of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and Series A Warrants, the Company issued to the placement agent a unit purchase option to purchase a number of our securities equal to an aggregate of 3.5% of the securities sold in the July 2016 Offering. The placement agent unit purchase option has an exercise price equal to 125% of the public offering price.

 

For accounting purposes, the Company analyzed the classification of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, including whether the embedded conversion options should be bifurcated. As the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock is not redeemable, and the host contract was determined to be akin to equity, the entire instrument was classified as equity.

 

The Company has also concluded that the warrants accompanying Series B Convertible Preferred Stock are classified as equity, since the warrants meet all criteria for equity classification.

 

Series C Convertible Preferred Stock – The March 2017 Offering

 

On March 14, 2017, the Company closed a public offering of 1,069,822 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, Series B warrants to purchase up to 122,269 shares of common stock and Series C warrants to purchase up to 122,269 shares of common stock (the “March 2017 Offering”). Each share of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock and the accompanying warrants were sold at a price of $6.40. Each share of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock was initially convertible into 0.114 shares of common stock reflecting a conversion price equal to $56.00 per share. The Series C Convertible Preferred Stock has certain anti-dilution provisions, and as further described below, in accordance with such provisions, the conversion price for the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock was adjusted several times when the Company conducted subsequent equity financings, and as of December 31, 2018, each share of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible into 1,310,357 shares of common stock at $0.30 per share.

 

The Company received gross proceeds of approximately $6.8 million from the March 2017 Offering, before deducting placement agent fees payable by the Company equal to 8.0% of the gross proceeds of the offering and a solicitation fee equal to 3.0% of the proceeds from the exercise of the Series C Warrants and offering expenses payable by the Company.

 

The holders of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock may elect to convert at any time. The Series C Convertible Preferred Stock has certain anti-dilution provisions which provisions require the lowering of the applicable conversion price, as then in effect, to the purchase price of equity or equity-linked securities issued in subsequent offerings which will result in a greater number of shares of common stock being required to be issued to the holders of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock

 

The Series B warrants are exercisable immediately and have a term of exercise of five years from the date of issuance and have an exercise price of $70.00 per share of common stock.

 

The Series C warrants expired on September 14, 2017, and none were exercised prior to their expiration.

 

For accounting purposes, the Company analyzed the classification of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, including whether the embedded conversion options should be bifurcated. As the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock is not redeemable, and the host contract was determined to be akin to equity, the entire instrument was classified as equity.

 

The Company has also concluded that the warrants accompanying Series C Convertible Preferred Stock are classified as equity, since the warrants meet all criteria for equity classification.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the July 2016 Offering that provided the holders of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock with certain anti-dilution provisions, which provisions require the lowering of the applicable conversion price, as then in effect, to match the purchase price of equity or equity-linked securities issued in subsequent offerings, upon closing of the March 2017 Offering, the conversion price of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock was adjusted to $56.00 per share of common stock, and each share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock became convertible into 0.589 shares of common stock. As a result of such adjustment, the Company was required to issue to the holders of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock an aggregate of 258,952 additional shares of common stock upon conversion of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and as payment of the dividends thereunder in common stock, based on 311,521 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding as of March 8, 2017.

 

Series D Convertible Preferred Stock and amendments to existing preferred stock through December 31, 2017 in connection with the Series D Private Placement

 

On December 1, 2017, as part of a planned recapitalization, the Company sold 750 shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series D Preferred Stock”) to an institutional investor (“Series D Investor”) in a private placement pursuant to a securities purchase agreement (the “SPA”), dated November 28, 2017, for aggregate gross proceeds of $750,000. The stated value of each share of Series D Preferred Stock was $1,000, and each share of Series D Preferred Stock was initially convertible into 142.86 shares of common stock at $7.00 per share. The Series D Preferred Stock did not contain any substantive features that differ materially from common stock other than a mechanism that would prevent the Company from issuing, upon conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock into common stock, a number of shares of common stock which would exceed 42,677 shares (19.99% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding on the trading day immediately preceding the date of the SPA) of the Company common stock, unless the Company obtains shareholders’ approval required by the NYSE American. In addition, the SPA contained a “most favored nation” provision, which provided that, until the Company consummates a “Qualified Offering”, in the event the Company undertakes, or enter into any agreement to undertake, the issuance and sale of common stock and/or common stock equivalents to third party investors for cash (a “Subsequent Financing”), the Series D Investor may elect, in its sole discretion, to exchange all or some of the Series D Preferred Stock then held by such investor for any securities or units issued in such Subsequent Financing on a $1.00 per stated value for $1.00 new subscription amount basis (the “Series D Exchange Right”) . The surrender of Series D Preferred Stock was to be in lieu of any cash subscription amount required for the participation in such Subsequent Financing. The Series D Investor also had the option to exchange their Series D Preferred Stock into the securities issued in a Qualified Offering upon consummation of a Qualified Offering on a $1.00 per stated value for $1.00 new subscription amount basis.

 

As a result of the issuance and sale of the Series D Preferred Stock, the conversion price of the outstanding shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock was reduced to $7.00 pursuant to the anti-dilution adjustment provisions of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, and the number of shares the Company would be required to issue to the holders of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock upon conversion of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and as payment of the dividends thereunder in common stock was increased by an aggregate of 1,306,536 shares of common stock, based on 180,992 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding as of November 28, 2017. There was no change to the conversion price of our outstanding Series C Convertible Preferred Stock as a result of an amendment made to the terms of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock exempting the issuance of the Series D Preferred Stock from the anti-dilution adjustment provisions of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock

 

The Company also agreed to use 12.5% of the proceeds from any subsequent offering of the Company’s securities to redeem the outstanding shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock owned by the Series D Investor until such time that the Company has redeemed, in the aggregate, at least $1 million of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, up to $1.5 million of stated value of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (“Redemption Obligation of Series B”).

 

In addition, in accordance with the original SPA, the certificate of designation for the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock was amended in December 2017 to provide for an automatic exchange of each share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock upon the consummation of a Qualified Offering subject to the beneficial ownership limitation.

 

Furthermore, the original SPA provided that, upon the consummation of a Qualified Offering, the shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock owned by the Series D Investor would be automatically exchanged into the securities sold by the Company in a Qualified Offering upon the terms set forth in the Agreement. However, under the rules of the NYSE American, the Company was required to obtain shareholder approval for the exchange by such purchaser of any securities in the Qualified Offering that represent 20% or more of the Company’s total shares of common stock outstanding immediately prior to such offering.

 

For accounting purposes, the Company analyzed the classification of the Series D Preferred Stock, including whether the embedded conversion options should be bifurcated. As the Series D Preferred Stock is not redeemable, and the host contract was determined to be akin to equity, the entire instrument was classified as equity.

 

As of the date of the SPA, the Company analyzed the classification of the Redemption Obligation of Series B of the Company regarding the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock as agreed upon in the SPA. Based on ASC 480-10-S99 the Company determined that, as of the date of the SPA, since the Redemption Obligation of Series B was outside of its control, the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock was considered as contingently redeemable upon the occurrence of an event that is outside of its control and should be classified as a mezzanine equity. The Company determined that, as of the date of the SPA, Subsequent Financing and the related payment of Redemption Obligation of Series B was considered to be outside of the Company’s control. Accordingly, as of the date of the SPA, the redemption amount net of the embedded derivative (as described below), which amounts to $934,000, was classified as “Redeemable Preferred Shares” in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

 

In addition, as of the date of the SPA, the Company analyzed whether the conversion feature embedded in the shares of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock subject to the Redemption Obligation of Series B should be bifurcated. As certain shares of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock was contingently redeemable as of the date of the SPA, the host contract was determined to be akin to debt, and the other criteria under ASC 815-15-25-1 were met, an embedded derivative was separated from the host contract and accounted for as a derivative instrument pursuant to Subtopic 815-10. As of the date of the SPA, the embedded derivative was valued at $66,000.

 

Furthermore, as of the date of the SPA, the Company analyzed whether the change in the conversion price of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock constituted an extinguishment for accounting purpose, by comparing the fair value of such preferred stock immediately before and after such change in terms. Since the fair value increased substantially, i.e by more than 10%, the change in terms was accounted for as an extinguishment.

 

As a result, the difference between the fair value of the preferred stock immediately after the change in term and the carrying amount immediately before such change, in the amount of approximately $3.9 million, was added to the basic loss per share attributable to the Company’s ordinary stockholders in the year ended December 31, 2017.

 

Conversion of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock held by Series D Investor

 

Of the 284,446 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock that were converted during the year ended December 31, 2017, 206,105 shares were converted by the Series D Investor, and as of December 31, 2017, the Series D Investor held 8,295 shares Series B Convertible Preferred Stock with a stated value of $274,000. Accordingly, the maximum Redemption Obligation of Series B amount as of December 31, 2017, was $274,000. In addition, following the conversions of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock during the year ended December 31, 2017, the value of the embedded derivative as of December 31, 2017, was $0. On January 8, 2018, the Series D Investor converted its remaining 8,295 shares Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. Accordingly, following such conversions, the Company was no longer required to redeem any shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock held by the Series D Investor upon closing of a Subsequent Financing and the maximum Redemption Obligation of Series B was reduced to $0.

 

Placement Agent Unit Purchase Option Exercise and Series B Convertible Preferred Stock Conversion

 

During January and February 2018, the placement agent from the July 2016 Offering exercised its unit purchase option to purchase 13,508 units and received 13,508 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and 1,545 Series A warrants to purchase common stock. The placement agent subsequently converted its Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and received an aggregate of 111,443 shares of common stock. The Company received an aggregate of $557,205 from the placement agent for the exercise of the unit purchase option.

 

Series D Amendments and 2018 Equity Offerings

 

On February 21, 2018, the SPA was amended (“February 2018 SPA amendment”) to require the Company (i) to use 15% of the proceeds from any subsequent offering of the Company’s securities that is not a Qualified Offering to redeem the outstanding shares of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock held by the Series D Investor at a per share purchase price equal to the stated value of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, and (ii) upon closing of any subsequent offering that is a Qualified Offering, to exchange all remaining outstanding shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock held by the Series D Investor for any securities issued in such Qualified Offering on a $1.00 per stated value for $1.00 new subscription amount basis (subject to the beneficial ownership limitation set forth in the certificate of designation for the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock). The February 2018 SPA amendment provided that in the event that the Company fails, or is unable, to issue securities issued in the Qualified Offering to the Series D Investor in exchange for such investor’s remaining Series C Convertible Preferred Stock due to limitations mandated by the NYSE American, the Securities and Exchange Commission, or for any other reason, the Company would be required to offer to purchase from such investor those shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock not exchanged for the securities sold in the Qualified Offering at a per share purchase price equal to the stated value of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock. This requirement to purchase from the Series D Investor those shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock not exchanged for the securities sold in the Qualified Offering at a per share purchase price equal to the stated value of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock in case of a Qualified Offering, and the requirement to use 15% of the proceeds from any subsequent offering of the Company’s securities that is not a Qualified Offering to redeem the outstanding shares of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock held by the Series D Investor at a per share purchase price equal to the stated value of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock are referred to as “Redemption Obligation of Series C.”

 

For accounting purposes, as of the effective date of the February 2018 SPA amendment, the Company analyzed the classification of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock in light of the Redemption Obligation of Series C regarding such preferred stock held by the Series D Investor, as agreed upon in the February 2018 SPA amendment. Based on ASC 480-10-S99 the Company determined that since the Redemption Obligation of Series C may occur upon contingent events, such as subsequent financing transactions not meeting the threshold for a Qualified Offering, that are not solely within the Company’s control, as of the effective date of the February 2018 SPA amendment the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock was considered as contingently redeemable and should be classified outside of permanent equity, within mezzanine equity.

 

In addition, as of the effective date of the February 2018 SPA amendment, the Company analyzed whether the conversion feature embedded in the shares of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock subject to the Redemption Obligation of Series C should be bifurcated. As certain shares of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock were contingently redeemable, as of the effective date of the February 2018 SPA amendment, the host contract was determined to be akin to debt, and the conversion feature not clearly and closely to the debt host given the anti-dilution protection included in the terms of these Series C Convertible Preferred Stock. Consequently, an embedded derivative was separated from the host contract and accounted for as a derivative instrument pursuant to Subtopic 815-10.

 

As of the effective date of the February 2018 SPA amendment, the Company classified an amount of $3,200,000 from permanent equity to “Redeemable Preferred Shares” and “Derivative Liability” in an amount of $2,580,000 and $620,000, respectively.

 

The Company values Level 3 derivative liability using an internally developed valuation model, whose inputs include potential equity transactions probability of completing successful fund raising during the relevant period and stock prices.

 

On February 26, 2018, the Company and the Series D Investor entered into a waiver agreement (the “Waiver Agreement”) which provided that (i) the Series D Exchange Right, which was provided by the original SPA, would not be applicable to an offering of up to $7,000,000 which occurred no later than March 9, 2018, (ii) the Company shall reduce the conversion price of the Series D Preferred Stock to the public offering price of our common stock in such offering, and (iii) instead of using 15% of the proceeds from such offering to redeem shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock held by the Series D Investor, which was provided by the February 2018 SPA amendment, the Company was required to use 15% of the proceeds from such offering to redeem a portion of the outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock held by the Series D Investor at a per share purchase price equal to the stated value of the Series D Preferred Stock.

 

On March 1, 2018, the Company closed an underwritten public offering of 1,000,000 shares (the “March 2018 Offering”) of the Company’s common stock. The offering price to the public of the shares sold at the March 2018 Offering was $3.00 per share. The Company received gross proceeds of $3.0 million from the offering, before deducting underwriter commissions and discounts and other fees and expenses payable by the Company .In connection with the March 2018 Offering, the Company issued to the underwriter warrants to purchase up to 60,000 shares of common stock, or 6% of the number of shares of common stock sold in the offering (the “March Underwriter Warrants”). The March Underwriter Warrants are exercisable at any time and from time to time, in whole or in part, following the date of issuance and ending February 27, 2023, at a price per share equal to $3.75 (125% of the offering price to the public per share).

 

Pursuant to the SPA, as amended by February 2018 SPA amendment and the Waiver Agreement, following the closing of the offering on March 1, 2018, the Company used $450,000 (representing 15% of the gross proceeds from the March 2018 Offering) to purchase from the Series D Investor 450 shares of the Series D Preferred Stock at a per share purchase price equal to the stated value of the Series D Preferred Stock.

 

As a result of the March 2018 Offering, the respective conversion price for each of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock and the Series D Preferred Stock was reduced to $3.00 per share, and the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock and the Series D Preferred Stock had increased as follows:

 

  an aggregate of 190,333 additional shares of common stock upon conversion of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and as payment of the dividends thereunder in common stock, based on 17,303 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding as of March 1, 2018.
  an aggregate of 1,497,427 additional shares of common stock upon conversion of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, based on 741,651 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding as of March 1, 2018.
  an aggregate of 142,857 additional shares of common stock upon conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock, based on 750 shares of Series D Preferred Stock outstanding as of March 1, 2018.

 

For accounting purposes, as of the closing of the March 2018 Offering, the Company analyzed whether the change in the conversion price of the Series D Preferred Stock constitutes an extinguishment for accounting purposes, by comparing the fair value of the Series D Preferred Stock immediately before and after such change in terms. Since the fair value increased substantially, i.e by more than 10%, the change in terms was accounted for as an extinguishment. As a result, the difference between the fair value of the Series D Preferred Stock immediately after the change in term (the reduction of the conversion price from $7.00 per share to $3.00 per share, pursuant to the SPA, as amended by February 2018 SPA amendment and the Waiver Agreement) and the carrying amount immediately before such change, in the amount of $49,000, was added to the basic loss per share attributable to the Company’s common stockholders.

 

On March 28, 2018, the Company and the Series D Investor entered into the second waiver agreement (the “Second Waiver Agreement”) which provided that (i) the Series D Exchange Right, which was provided by the original SPA, would not be applicable to a subsequent financing consisting solely of shares of common stock, which shall be publicly registered on Form S-3 for gross proceeds to us of up to $5,000,000, to be consummated by not later than April 3, 2018 (the “Planned April 2018 Offering”), (ii) the Company’s obligation to use 15% of the proceeds from any subsequent offering of our securities that is not a Qualified Offering to redeem the outstanding shares of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock held by the Series D Investor, which was provided by the February 2018 SPA amendment, would not be applicable to the Planned April 2018 Offering, (iii) the Company shall reduce the conversion price of the Series D Preferred Stock to the public offering price of our common stock sold in the Planned April 2018 Offering, and (iv) the Company shall use $300,000 of the proceeds from the Planned April 2018 Offering to redeem outstanding shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock held by the Series D Investor at a per share purchase price equal to the stated value of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock.

 

On April 2, 2018, the Company closed an underwritten public offering of 2,857,143 shares (the “April 2018 Offering”) of the Company’s common stock at the offering price to the public of $1.75 per share. The Company received gross proceeds of $5.0 million from the offering, before deducting underwriter discounts and commissions and other fees and expenses payable by the Company.

 

In connection with the April 2018 Offering, the Company agreed to issue to the underwriter warrants to purchase up to 171,429 shares of common stock, or 6% of the April 2, 2018 Shares sold in the offering (the “April Underwriter Warrants”). The April Underwriter Warrants will be exercisable at any time and from time to time, in whole or in part, following the date of issuance and ending March 28, 2023, at a price per share equal to $2.1875 (125% of the offering price to the public in the April 2018 Offering).

 

Pursuant to the SPA, as amended by the February 2018 SPA amendment, the Waiver Agreement and the Second Waiver Agreement, following the closing of the April 2018 Offering, the Company used $300,000 of the net proceeds of the offering to purchase from the Series D Investor 46,875 shares of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock at a per share purchase price equal to the stated value of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock.

 

As a result of the April 2018 Offering, the conversion price of the outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock was reduced to $1.75 pursuant to the Second Waiver Agreement, and the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock increased by an aggregate of 71,429 additional shares of common stock, based on 300 shares of Series D Preferred Stock outstanding as of April 2, 2018.

 

For accounting purposes, as of the closing of the April 2018 Offering, the Company analyzed whether the change in the conversion price of the Series D Preferred Stock constituted an extinguishment for accounting purposes, by comparing the fair value of the Series D Preferred Stock immediately before and after such change in terms. Since the fair value increased substantially, i.e by more than 10%, the change in terms was accounted for as an extinguishment. As a result, the difference between the fair value of the Series D Preferred Stock immediately after the change in term (the further reduction of the conversion price from $3.00 per share to $1.75 per share, pursuant to the SPA, as amended by February 2018 SPA amendment, the Waiver Agreement and the Second Waiver Agreement) and the carrying amount immediately before such change, in the amount of $32,000, was subtracted from the basic loss per share attributable to the Company’s common stockholders.

 

Upon execution of the underwriting agreement for the April 2018 Offering, as of March 28, 2018, the respective conversion price of the outstanding shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and Series C Convertible Preferred Stock was reduced to $1.75 pursuant to the anti-dilution adjustment provisions of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, and the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock had increased as follows:

 

  an aggregate of 237,916 additional shares of common stock upon conversion of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and as payment of the dividends thereunder in common stock, based on 17,303 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding as of March 28, 2018.
  an aggregate of 688,297 additional shares of common stock upon conversion of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, based on 451,695 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding as of March 28, 2018.

 

On June 28, 2018, the Company and the Series D Investor entered into a letter agreement (the “Letter Agreement”) which further amended the SPA to provide that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the prior agreements, in the event the Company consummates a Qualified Offering in which the Series D Investor and its affiliates invest at least $3 million, (i) instead of an automatic exchange of all outstanding shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock held by the Series D Investor into securities issued in a Qualified Offering on a $1.00 per stated value for $1.00 new subscription amount basis, all outstanding shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock held by the Series D Investor will be redeemed at a per share purchase price equal to the stated value of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, and (ii) all outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock will be redeemed at a per share purchase price equal to the stated value of the Series D Preferred Stock.

 

On June 29, 2018, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement relating to an underwritten public offering (the “July 2018 Offering”) of (i) 10,851,417 common units (“Common Units”), with each Common Unit being comprised of one share of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and one Series D warrant (collectively, the “Series D Warrants”) to purchase one share of common stock and (ii) 22,481,916 pre-funded units (“Pre-Funded Units”), with each Pre-Funded Unit being comprised of one pre-funded warrant (collectively, the “Pre-Funded Warrants”) to purchase one share of common stock and one Series D Warrant, which closed on July 3, 2018. The offering price to the public was $0.30 per Common Unit and $0.29 per Pre-Funded Unit. The Company also granted the Underwriter a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 4,999,999 shares of common stock at a purchase price of $0.29 per share and/or up to 4,999,999 additional Series D Warrants to purchase 4,999,999 shares of common stock at a purchase price of $0.01 per Series D Warrant, less the underwriting discounts and commissions of $0.0203 per share and $0.0007 per Series D Warrant. The Underwriter exercised its option to purchase an additional 4,999,999 Series D Warrants to purchase 4,999,999 shares of common stock.

 

Pursuant to the Letter Agreement, the Company had revised its estimate as of June 30, 2018, of the expected timing of redemption of Series C Convertible Preferred stock to the estimated closing date of the July 2018 Offering (July 3, 2018). As a result, the total of $438,000 (accretion of the redeemable preferred shares) was recorded against Additional paid-in capital and added to basic loss per share attributable to the Company’s common stockholders.

 

The Series D Warrants included in the Common Units and the Pre-Funded Units are immediately exercisable at a price of $0.30 per share of common stock, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances, and expire five years from the date of issuance.

 

Each Pre-Funded Warrant contained in a Pre-Funded Unit is exercisable for one share of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share. The Pre-Funded Warrants are immediately exercisable and may be exercised at any time until all of the Pre-Funded Warrants are exercised in full.

 

Pursuant to the full ratchet anti-dilution adjustment provisions in the respective certificate of designation for the Company’s Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, the conversion price of the outstanding shares of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock was reduced to $0.30 per share, effective as of the date of the underwriting agreement entered for the July 2018 Offering, and the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock had increased as follows:

 

  an aggregate of 2,759,829 additional shares of common stock upon conversion of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and as payment of the dividends thereunder in common stock, based on 17,303 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding as of June 29, 2018.
  an aggregate of 6,696,448 additional shares of common stock upon conversion of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, based on 378,840 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding as of June 29, 2018.

 

On July 2, 2018, the Company filed with the office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a Certificate of Amendment to Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock which removes the provision providing for an automatic exchange of all outstanding shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock into securities issued in a Qualified Offering on a $1.00 per stated value for $1.00 new subscription amount basis upon a Qualified Offering.

 

On July 3, 2018, the Company closed the July 2018 Offering. The Company received gross proceeds of $9.8 million from the offering, before deducting underwriter discounts and commissions and other fees and expenses payable by the Company.

 

For the purpose of calculating basic net loss per share, the additional shares of common stock that are issuable upon exercise of the Pre-funded Warrants have been included since the shares are issuable for a negligible consideration, as determined by the Company according to ASC 260-10-45-13, and have no vesting or other contingencies associated with them.

 

Pursuant to the underwriting agreement relating to the July 2018 Offering, the Company, upon closing of the July 2018 Offering, issued to the underwriter warrants to purchase up to 2,000,000 shares of common stock, or 6% of the aggregate number of shares of common stock sold in the July 2018 Offering (including the number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants sold in the July 2018 Offering). The underwriter warrants are exercisable at any time and from time to time, in whole or in part, following the date of issuance and ending July 3, 2023, at a price per share equal to $0.375 (125% of the offering price to the public per Common Unit).

 

Pursuant to the Letter Agreement, on July 3, 2018, upon closing of the July 2018 Offering, which was a Qualified Offering, the Company used $2,264,269 of the net proceeds of the July 2018 Offering to redeem 306,917 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock and 300 shares of Series D Preferred Stock held by the Series D Investor.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company issued a total of 20,880,250 shares of its common stock in connection with the exercise of 20,880,250 Pre-Funded Warrants. The Company received aggregate cash proceeds equal to approximately $ 208,803 in connection with such exercises. As of December 31, 2018, the outstanding Pre-Funded Warrants are exercisable into 1,601,666 shares of common stock.

 

As of December 31, 2018, the Number of Preferred shares the amount each class is convertible into is below:

In the event of our liquidation, dissolution, or winding up, holders of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and Series C Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to receive the amount of cash, securities or other property to which such holder would be entitled to receive with respect to such shares of Preferred Stock if such shares had been converted to common stock immediately prior to such event.

 

  b. Share-Based Compensation

 

  1) On March 28, 2011, the board of directors and stockholders of the Company adopted and approved the InspireMD, Inc. 2011 UMBRELLA Option Plan (the “Umbrella Plan”) which expires on March 27, 2021. Under the Umbrella Plan, as subsequently amended, the Company reserved 572 shares of common stock as awards to employees, consultants, and service providers. As of December 31, 2018, the Company had 310 shares of common stock available for future issuance under the plans as described above.
     
    On December 16, 2013, the board of directors and stockholders of the Company adopted and approved the 2013 Plan. Under the 2013 Plan, the Company initially reserved 572 shares of common stock for awards to employees, officers, directors, consultants, and service providers. On September 9, 2015, May 24, 2016, September 28, 2016 and October 24, 2018, the stockholders approved an amendment to the 2013 Plan to increase the number of shares of common stock available for issuance pursuant to awards under the 2013 Plan by 537, 11,428, 7,200 and 8,900,000 shares of common stock, respectively, to a total of 8,919,737 shares of common stock. As of December 31, 2018, the Company reserved 8,910,610 shares of common stock available for future issuance under the plans as described above.
     
    The 2013 Plan provides for the granting of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance awards, dividend equivalent rights, and other awards, which may be granted singly, in combination, or in tandem. The 2013 Plan is administered by the Company’s compensation committee.
     
    In 2004, Section 409A was added to the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) to regulate all types of deferred compensation. Certain performance awards, stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock units, and certain types of restricted stock are subject to Section 409A of the Code.
     
    Pursuant to the current Section 102 of the Israeli Tax Ordinance, which came into effect on January 1, 2003, options may be granted through a trustee (i.e., Approved 102 Options) or not through a trustee (i.e., Unapproved 102 Options). As a result of an election made by the Company under Section 102 of the Income Tax Ordinance, the Company will not be allowed to claim as an expense for tax purposes in Israel the amounts credited to the employee as capital gains to the grantees, although it will generally be entitled to do so in respect of the salary income component (if any) of such awards when the related tax is paid by the employee.

 

  2) During the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company granted stock options to the CEO, employees and directors to purchase a total of 0 and 118 shares of the Company’s common stock, respectively. The options granted in the year ended 2017 have exercise prices ranging from $24.85-$34.65 per share, which were the fair market value of the company’s common stock on the date of each respective grant. The fair value of the above options, using the Black-Scholes option pricing models, was approximately $3,000. The 118 stock options granted in 2017 are subject to a three-year vesting period, with one-third of such awards vesting each year.
     
  3) During the year ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company granted to the CEO, employees and directors 0 and 84 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock, respectively. The fair value of these restricted shares granted in the year ended December 31, 2017 was approximately $3,000. The 84 restricted shares granted during the year ended December 31, 2017 are subject to a three-year vesting period, with one-third of such awards vesting each year.

  Options outstanding     Weighted average remaining contractual life (years)     Options exercisable  
$0-$65.1     127       7.68       48  
$106.4-$113.75     3,003       7.92       2,002

      6,389       7.62       5,138  

 

The weighted average of the remaining contractual life of total vested and exercisable options as of December 31, 2018 was 7.57 years.

 

The aggregate intrinsic value of the total exercisable warrants and options as of December 31, 2018 was approximately $1.

 

The weighted average fair value of options granted was $24.85 for the year ended December 31, 2017. The weighted average fair value of warrants and options granted was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.

 

  8) The following table sets forth the assumptions that were used in determining the fair value of options granted to employees for the year December 31, 2017:

 

    Year ended December 31  
    2017  
Expected life     5-6.5 years  
Risk-free interest rates     1.78%-2.18 %
Volatility     94.42%-97.62 %
Dividend yield     0 %

 

The Company does not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term. Accordingly, as to ordinary course options granted, the expected term was determined using the simplified method, which takes into consideration the option’s contractual life and the vesting periods (for non-employees, the expected term is equal to the option’s contractual life).

 

The annual risk-free rates are based on the yield rates of zero coupon non-index linked U.S. Federal Reserve treasury bonds as both the exercise price and the share price are in dollar terms. The Company’s expected volatility is derived from its historical data.

 

  9) As of December 31, 2018, the total unrecognized compensation cost on employee and non-employee stock options and restricted shares, related to unvested stock-based compensation, amounted to approximately $38 thousand. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 0.55 years. This expected cost does not include the impact of any future stock-based compensation awards.
