– STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY, STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS
 
Series D Preferred Stock
 
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 (
1
) 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 (
2
) the
one
-year anniversary of the issuance date. On
April 4, 2020,
3,500,000
shares of Series D convertible preferred stock were converted into
350,004
shares of common stock.
 
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. The Company issued
258
preferred shares. Each preferred shareholder had the right to convert each Series E convertible preferred share into
0.056857%
of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock immediately prior to conversion for each share of Series E convertible 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. The preferred shares included a contingent beneficial conversion amount of
$289,935,
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 beneficial conversion feature amount was accreted through the earliest redemption date of
December 13, 2019.
 
In
May 2020,
we notified the holders of our Series E Convertible Preferred Stock of our election to convert the outstanding shares of Series E Stock into common stock effective on
June 13, 2020
pursuant to the terms of the Series E Stock. Prior to the conversion, there were
207.7
shares of Series E Stock outstanding. Each share of Series E Stock converted into
0.056857%
of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock immediately prior to conversion; therefore, the
207.7
outstanding shares of Series E Stock on
June 13, 2020
converted into
1,257,416
shares of common stock equal to
11.8%
of the outstanding shares of common stock as of
June 12, 2020.
 
Equity Line
 
On
October 24, 2019,
the Company entered into an equity purchase agreement with an investor, providing for an equity financing facility. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions in the purchase agreement, the investor is committed to purchase shares having an aggregate value of up to
$15,000,000
of the Company's common stock for a period of up to
three
years. The Company issued to the investor
104,651
commitment shares at a fair market value of
$450,000
for entering into the agreement. From time to time during the
three
-year commitment period, provided that the closing conditions are satisfied, the Company
may
provide the investor with put notices to purchase a specified number of shares subject to certain limitations and conditions and at specified prices, which generally represent discounts to the market price of the common stock. During the
six
months ended
June 30, 2020,
the Company issued
943,000
shares of common stock valued at
$1,869,899
pursuant to the equity line. As of
June 30, 2020,
there was
$12,810,907
remaining available balance under the equity line.
 
March 2020
Private Placement
 
On
March 18, 2020,
we issued sold and issued to private investors (i)
260,000
shares of common stock, at a sale price of
$2.121
per share; (ii) prefunded warrants to acquire
1,390,166
shares of common stock, sold at
$2.12
per share and exercisable at an exercise price of
$0.001
per share; (iii) Series A warrants to acquire
1,650,166
shares of Common Stock at
$1.88
per share, exercisable immediately and terminating
five
and
one
-half years after the date of issuance; and (iv) Series B warrants to acquire
1,650,166
shares of Common Stock at
$1.88
per share, exercisable immediately and terminating
two
years after the date of issuance.
 
In addition, and in lieu of common shares, the investors also purchased prefunded warrants to purchase
1,390,166
shares of common stock at a purchase price of
$2.12
per prefunded warrant, which represents the per share offering price, minus the
$0.0001
per share exercise price of each such prefunded warrant. As a result of the prefunded warrants exercise price being of a nominal amount, these warrants were included as outstanding shares within our earnings per share calculation during the period from purchase through to exercise during the
second
quarter
2020.
 
The sale of the offering shares, prefunded warrants and A and B warrants resulted in gross proceeds of
$3,498,612
and net proceeds of
$3,127,818
after deducting the placement agent fees and estimated offering expenses payable by the Company. The Company agreed to use the net proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes. The offering closed on
March 18, 2020,
subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. See
Note
8
–– Derivatives
for discussion of A, B and agent warrants accounted for as derivative liabilities.
 
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.

per share and associated warrant. Each warrant is exercisable immediately upon issuance at an exercise price of
$1.45
per share and will expire
five
and
one
-half years from the issue date. The sale of the offering shares and associated warrants resulted in gross proceeds of
$2,200,001
and net proceeds of
$1,930,101
after deducting the placement agent fees and offering expenses payable by the Company. The Company used the net proceeds from the offering to repay certain indebtedness and agreed to use the remaining net proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes. The offering closed on

two
of its subsidiaries, Soluble Therapeutics, Inc. (“Soluble”), and BioDtech, Inc. (“BioDtech”), and simultaneously completed the acquisition of substantially all of Soluble's and BioDtech's assets. In exchange, the Company issued
125,000
shares of common stock and waived all existing claims that the Company has or
may
have against InventaBioTech (f/k/a CytoBioscience, Inc.). All of the shares issued in the acquisition were deposited into escrow, with
25,000
to be released upon the

month anniversary of the closing,
25,000

may
be released and returned to the Company for reimbursement in the event that the Company suffers a loss against which InventaBioTech, Soluble, and BioDtech have indemnified the Company pursuant to the Agreement. The Company is also entitled to reclaim
10,000
of the shares if, within
