– STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY, STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS
 
Series D Preferred Shares
 
In
April 2019,
the Company issued
3,500,000
shares of Series D preferred stock to Helomics as part of the acquisition. Each share of Series D preferred stock is subject to automatic conversion, whereby each such share converts automatically on a
10:1
basis into a share of the Company’s common stock upon the earlier of (i) the consummation of any fundamental transaction (e.g., a consolidation or merger, the sale or lease of all or substantially all of the assets of Predictive or the purchase, tender or exchange offer of more than
50%
of the outstanding shares of voting stock of Predictive) or (ii) the
one
-year anniversary of the issuance date, which will be
April 4, 2020.
 
Series E Convertible Preferred Stock
 
In
June
through
September 2019,
the Company entered into a private placement securities purchase agreement with investors for shares of Series E convertible preferred stock for an aggregate purchase price of
$1,734,000
and
2,577,000
in the
three
and
nine
-month periods ended
September 30, 2019,
respectively.  During the
three
and
nine
-month periods ended
September 30, 2019,
the Company issued
173.4
and
257.7
preferred shares, respectively. The preferred shares include a contingent beneficial conversion amount of
$182,000
and
$289,936
for shares issued during the
three
and
nine
-month periods ended
September 30, 2019,
respectively, representing the intrinsic value of the shares at the time of issuance. The Company determined the Series E convertible preferred stock should be classified as permanent equity and the Company is accreting the beneficial conversion feature amount to the earliest redemption date of
six
months after the initial closing of the Series E convertible preferred stock.  This offering is now closed. As of
September 30, 2019,
all shares of the Series E convertible preferred stock issued remain outstanding.
 
Each Preferred Share Holder shall have the right at the Company’s option to be converted into
0.056857%
of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock immediately prior to conversion for each share of Series E convertible preferred stock beginning
six
months after the initial close date of
June 13, 2019.
On the date that is
12
months after the initial closing date, the Company has the option to convert the preferred shares into common stock upon the same terms and limitations as the above optional conversion.
 
Net Loss Attributable to common shareholders
 
The net loss attributable to common shareholders for the
three
and
nine
months ended
September 30, 2019,
reflects increases for net deemed dividends to Series E convertible preferred shareholders provided in connection with various closings totaling
$2,577,000
of the private placement of Series E convertible preferred stock. The total beneficial conversion feature (BCF) of the Series E convertible preferred stock issued was
$182,000
and
$289,936
for the closing of Series E convertible preferred stock for the
three
and
nine
months ended
September 30, 2019,
respectively.
 
The Series E convertible preferred stock is
not
currently redeemable because the contingency has
not
been met as of
September 30, 2019,
but it is probable that the preferred stock will be redeemable in the future.  The earliest potential redemption based solely on the passage of time is
December 13, 2019
and, therefore, the carrying amount of the Series E convertible preferred stock shall be accreted from the commitment date to the redemption price as a deemed dividend.  The accretion of the BCF was
$125,801
and
$146,199
for the
three
and
nine
months ended
September 30, 2019,
respectively. Since the Company does
not
have retained earnings, the amortization of the Series E convertible preferred stock discount was recorded as a deemed dividend through additional paid-in capital and net loss attributable to common shareholders in calculating basic and diluted loss per common share (see Note
7
).
 
Equity Incentive Plan
 
The Company has an equity incentive plan, which allows issuance of incentive and non-qualified stock options to employees, directors and consultants of the Company, where permitted under the plan. The exercise price for each stock option is determined by the Board of Directors. Vesting requirements are determined by the Board of Directors when granted and currently range from immediate to
three
years. Options under this plan have terms ranging from
three
to
ten
years.
 
Valuation and accounting for options and warrants
 
The Company determines the grant date fair value of options and warrants using a Black-Scholes option valuation model based upon assumptions regarding risk-free interest rate, expected dividend rate, volatility and estimated term.
 
For grants of stock options and warrants issued during the quarter ended
September 30, 2019,
the Company used
1.39%
to
2.03%
risk free interest rate,
0%
dividend rate,
82.4%
volatility and estimated terms of
5
to
10
years. Value computed using these assumptions ranged from
$3.368
to
$6.527
per share.
