  d. Warrants

 

In terms of the Senior Secured convertible notes entered into with various noteholders as described in note 9 above, the Company issued five year warrants exercisable for a total of 28,709,182 shares of common stock at initial exercise prices ranging from $0.05 to $0.24 per share. The warrants have a cashless exercise option and an exercise limitation based on a certain beneficial ownership percentage of 4.99% which may be adjusted to 9.99%. The exercise price of the warrant is adjustable under the following conditions; i) subsequent equity sales are at a price below the exercise price of the warrant; ii) the Company issues options with an exercise price lower than the exercise price of the warrants; iii) issues convertible securities which are convertible into common stock at a price lower than the warrant exercise price; and iv) the option exercise price or rate of conversion for convertible securities results in a lower exercise price than the exercise price of the warrants.

  

The warrant holders also have the option to acquire subsequent rights offering rights, under certain circumstances and are entitled to pro-rata distributions made by the Company in assets or securities other than common stock.

 

The warrants include a fundamental transaction clause which will give the warrant holder the right on an as converted basis to the proceeds which common shareholders would be entitled to as a result of a fundamental transaction. Notwithstanding the aforementioned rights, provided the warrants are not registered under an effective registration statement, the holder of the warrant has the right to receive cash equal to the Black-Scholes value of the unexercised portion of the warrant in accordance with the terms of the warrant agreement.

 

On February 22, 2021, the Board of Directors of the Company appointed William Corbett, its Chief Executive Officer and then Interim Chief Financial Officer, as its Chairman of the Board and issued him a five-year warrant to purchase 20,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.24, valued at $4,327,899 and expensed as stock based compensation during the current period.

 

In connection with the Securities Purchase Agreements with several institutional investors, disclosed in Note 9(a) above, the Company sold warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 15,166,667 shares of its common stock. The combined purchase price for one share of common stock and associated Warrant is $0.15. The warrants were valued at $2,028,509 using a Black Scholes valuation model and using the assumptions disclosed below.

 

The Warrants are exercisable for a period of five years from the date of issuance and have an exercise price of $0.15 per share, subject to adjustment as set forth in the Warrants for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations and similar events. The Investors may exercise the Warrants on a cashless basis if after the six month anniversary of date of issuance the shares of common stock underlying the Warrants (the “Warrant Shares”) are not then registered pursuant to an effective registration statement. Each Investor has contractually agreed to restrict its ability to exercise the Warrants such that the number of shares of the Company’s common stock held by the Investor and its affiliates after such exercise does not exceed the beneficial ownership limitation set forth in the Warrants which may not exceed initially 4.99% or 9.99% of the Company’s then issued and outstanding shares of common stock.

 

Pursuant to an engagement letter dated as of March 6, 2021, by and between the Company and Wainwright, the Company engaged Wainwright to act as the Company’s exclusive placement agent in connection with the private placement, discussed above. The Company agreed to issue to Wainwright (or its designees) Placement Agent Warrants to purchase an aggregate of up to 2,426,667 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Placement Agent Warrants generally will have the same terms as the Warrants, except they will have an exercise price of $0.1875. The warrants were valued at $323,924 using a Black Scholes valuation model and using the assumptions disclosed below.

 

On August 16, 2021, the Company and Mr. Corbett entered into an Executive Employment Agreement that replaced and superseded the previous executive employment agreement whereby the 20,000,000 warrants previously issued to Mr. Corbett were cancelled and as a replacement for the warrants, he was granted options to purchase 20,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company at a per share exercise price of $0.15.

 

The fair value of the warrants granted and issued were determined by using a Black Scholes valuation model using the following assumptions:

2021
 
Exercise price     $0.05 to $0.24
