3.   COMMON STOCK AND WARRANTS

On June 28, 2018, at the Company’s 2018 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, the Company’s shareholders approved the Company’s reincorporation from the state of Wyoming to the state of Delaware. On July 20, 2018, the Company completed its reincorporation from Wyoming to the state of Delaware.

As a result, following the Company’s reincorporation in the state of Delaware, the Company’s authorized capital stock pursuant to its Delaware charter consists of 150,000,000 authorized shares of common stock, at a par value per share of $0.001 and 10,000,000 authorized shares of preferred stock at a par value per share of $0.001. Holders of common stock are entitled to vote at any meeting of the Company’s stockholders on the basis of one vote per share of common stock owned as of the record date of such meeting. Each share of common stock entitles the holder to receive dividends, if any, as declared by the Company’s Board of Directors.

No dividends have been declared since inception of the Company through March 31, 2019. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, other distribution of assets of the Company among its stockholders for the purposes of winding-up its affairs or upon a reduction of capital, the stockholders shall, share equally, share for share, in the remaining assets and property of the Company.

On April 18, 2016, the Company closed its short form prospectus offering in Canada and a concurrent U.S. private placement (the “April 2016 Offering”) of units (the “Units”) with gross proceeds to the Company of $7.2 million through the issuance of Units at a price of CAD$5.00 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one share of common stock of the Company (a “Common Share’) and one-half of one Common Share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a “Warrant”). Each Warrant entitled the holder thereof to acquire one additional Common Share at an exercise price of CAD$7.50 on or before April 18, 2019. Mackie Research Capital Corporation (the “Agent”) acted as agent and sole bookrunner in connection with the April 2016 Offering. The Company paid the Agent a cash commission of $0.3 million and granted to the Agent compensation options exercisable to purchase 87,210 Units at an exercise price of CAD$5.00 per Unit for a period of 24 months from the closing of the April 2016 Offering. The Company incurred other cash issuance costs of $1.1 million related to this offering.  As of March 31, 2019, the Company had 944,379 warrants outstanding.

The proceeds from the April 2016 Offering were allocated on a relative fair value basis between the common stock and the warrants issued. The warrants issued in connection with the April 2016 Offering were classified within equity in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. These warrants were recorded in additional paid-in capital in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets at their fair value. As discussed in Note 2, due to the change in the Company’s functional currency, as of April 1, 2018, these warrants have been reclassified to liabilities as derivative financial instruments on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet as they are now priced in a currency other than the Company’s functional currency.

The following table summarizes the weighted average assumptions used in estimating the fair value of the warrants granted in the April 2016 Offering using the Black-Scholes option pricing model as of the grant date and as of December 31, 2018 and March 31, 2019:

In December 2017, the Company completed a three-tranche non-brokered private placement (the “December 2017 Financing”) for an aggregate of 646,016 units for gross proceeds of approximately $6.3 million. Each unit consisted of one share of common stock and one share purchase warrant, and was sold at a price of $9.80 per unit. Each warrant entitles the holder to acquire one additional share of common stock and is exercisable over a period of 36 months following the respective closing of the December 2017 Financing at an exercise price of $12.25 per warrant share. The first tranche, which closed on December 22, 2017, was for 270,915 units for which the Company received gross proceeds of approximately $2.6 million. The second tranche, which closed on December 28, 2017, was for 171,020 units for which the Company received approximately $1.7 million, while the third tranche, which closed on December 29, 2017, was for 204,081 units for which the Company received $2.0 million. The Company paid $0.1 million in share issuance costs related to the December 2017 Financing. As a result of the change in the Company’s functional currency, these warrants have been reclassified from liabilities as derivative financial instruments to additional paid-in capital in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.

On April 13, 2018, the Company issued 2,141,900 shares of its common stock and warrants to purchase 2,141,900 shares of the Company’s common stock in an underwritten public offering at a price of $7.47 per share and accompanying warrant. Gross proceeds from the offering were approximately $16.0 million. On April 24, 2018, the Company closed on the sale of an additional 321,285 shares of its common stock and warrants pursuant to the exercise of the over-allotment option (collectively the “April 2018 Offering”) granted to the underwriters in connection with the offering at a price of $7.47 per share and accompanying warrants. Gross proceeds from the exercise of the over-allotment option was $2.4 million. BTIG, LLC and Echelon Wealth Partners acted as joint book-running managers for the April 2018 Offering. The Company paid approximately $1.1 million in underwriting discounts and commissions and incurred offering expenses of approximately $1.0 million in connection with the April 2018 Offering, resulting in net proceeds of $16.3 million from the April 2018 Offering. The underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses were allocated between share issuance costs and expenses based on the relative fair values of common stock and warrants issued in connection with the April 2018 Offering, resulting in the recording of approximately $0.8 million of expenses in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss). The fair value of these warrants at issuance was approximately $7.4 million.

Each warrant issued in connection with the April 2018 Offering entitles the holder to acquire one additional share of common stock at an exercise price of CAD$12.25 per share on or before April 10, 2021. Pursuant to the guidance of ASC 815 Derivatives and Hedging, the Company has determined that warrants issued in connection with the April 2018 Offering should be accounted for as liabilities as the ability to maintain an effective registration is outside of the Company’s control and that it may be required to settle the exercise of the warrants in cash and because, as a result of the change in the Company’s functional currency (see Note 2), the exercise prices of these warrants are in a currency other than the Company’s functional currency. Consequently, the Company determined the fair value of each warrant issuance using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, with the remainder of the proceeds allocated to the common shares. As of March 31, 2019, 70,900 warrants had been exercised, all during 2018, for gross proceeds of CAD$0.9 million.

The following table summarizes the weighted average assumptions used in estimating the fair value of the warrants granted in the April 2018 Offering using the Black-Scholes option pricing model as of the date of the initial closing of the offering and the date of the closing of the over-allotment option as well as at March 31, 2019.

On November 19, 2018, the Company issued 2,121,212 shares of its common stock in an underwritten public offering at a price of $8.25 per share. Gross proceeds from the offering were $17.5 million. On November 30, 2018, the Company closed on the sale of an additional 318,182 shares of its common stock pursuant to the exercise of the over-allotment option (collectively the “November 2018 Offering”) granted to the underwriters in connection with the offering at a price of $8.25 per share. Gross proceeds from the exercise of the over-allotment option was $2.6 million. BTIG LLC and Oppenheimer & Co acted as joint book-running managers for the November 2018 Offering. The Company paid approximately $1.2 million in underwriting discounts and commissions and incurred offering expenses of approximately $0.7 million, of which $0.1 million was paid during the three months ended March 31, 2019, resulting in net proceeds of $18.3 million.

The following table summarizes the activities of warrants that the Company accounted for as liabilities and recorded as derivative financial instruments on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 (amounts in thousands):

These warrants which are classified as derivative financial instruments in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets are required to be re-measured at each reporting period, with the change in fair value recorded as a gain or loss in the change in fair value of derivative financial instruments, included in other income (expense) in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). The fair value of the warrants will continue to be classified as a liability until such time as they are exercised, expire or there is an amendment to the respective agreements that renders these financial instruments to be no longer classified as such.

The fair value of all warrants classified as derivative financial instruments outstanding as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 were estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:
