  (1) The warrants also terminate, if not exercised, upon the closing of (i) an initial public offering of common stock; or (ii) a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company.

 

  (2) In the event of a terminating change of the Company, as defined in the warrant agreement, the warrant holder would be paid in cash the aggregate fair market value of the warrant shares immediately prior to the consummation of the terminating change event.

 

  (3) The warrant also terminates, if not exercised, (i) two years after the closing of an initial public offering of common stock; or (ii) the closing of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company.

 

  (4) The warrant also terminates, if not exercised, upon the closing of (i) an initial public offering of common stock; or (ii) a consolidation, merger, sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets

 

Secured Promissory Note, 2014/2015 Convertible Notes, other promissory notes Common Stock Warrants

 

In conjunction with the issuance of the Secured Promissory Note, 2014/2015 Convertible Notes, and certain other promissory notes, the Company issued detachable common stock warrants (“Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate 270,400 shares of common stock, with an exercise price of $7.50 per share. The Warrants are exercisable until the earlier of (i) 5 years from the date of grant; (ii) the closing of an initial public offering of common stock by the Company; and (iii) the closing of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company.

 

The Warrants have a net share settlement (cashless exercise) provision. With this provision the holder may, in lieu of payment of the exercise price in cash, surrender the warrant and receive a net amount of shares based on the fair market value of the common stock at the time of exercise of the warrant after deduction of the aggregate exercise price. However, the Warrants would be exercised automatically in full pursuant to the net exercise provision, without any further action on behalf of the holder, immediately prior to the time the Warrants would otherwise terminate.

 

The Warrants are considered freestanding instruments as (i) they were transferred together with the notes issued but exist independently as a separate security; (ii) they may be exercised separately from the notes; and (iii) they are exercisable for a specific period (term) and do not impact the notes if and when exercised.

 

The Company estimated the fair value of the Warrants at issuance using a Monte Carlo option pricing model based on the following significant inputs: common stock price of $7.50 to $7.575; comparable company volatility of 58.0% to 76.7%; risk- free rates of 1.31% to 1.76%; and the probability of an equity event occurring. The Company reflected the amounts recorded for the Warrants issued within stockholders’ deficit, as additional paid-in-capital. Although the Warrants are a derivative that can be net share settled, the Warrants are considered indexed to the Company’s common stock and the Company has the ability to settle the warrant contract in common shares and met the conditions within the contract to classify the Warrants as an equity instrument.


Common Stock Warrant Issued for Marketing and Development Services

 

In February 2016, the Company issued to a stockholder a warrant to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $7.50 per share as consideration for providing marketing and development services in Southeast Asia. The warrant was fully vested and exercisable on the date of grant. The common stock warrant has the similar features as the Warrants disclosed in Note 11, except it is exercisable until the earlier of (i) five years from the date of grant; (ii) two years after the closing of an initial public offering of common stock by the Company; and (iii) the closing of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company. The Company estimated the fair value of the common stock warrant to be $431 on the date of grant using a Black- Scholes option pricing model based on the following significant inputs: common stock price of $7.57; comparable company volatility of 77.8%; remaining term 3.75 years; dividend yield of 0% and risk-free rate of 2.09%. The Company recorded the fair value of the warrant as stock-based compensation expense within general and administrative expense on the date of grant.

The Company estimated the fair value of the common stock warrants on the date of grant using a Monte Carlo pricing model based on the following significant inputs: common stock price of $7.575; comparable company volatility 79.6%; and risk-free rate of 1.49%.

 

August 2016 Other Advisory Services

 

On August 16, 2016, the Company issued to each of two advisors warrants to purchase 20,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $7.50 per share, in each case, on a post-reverse split basis, as consideration for providing advisory services to the Company. The warrants were fully vested and exercisable on the date of grant until the earlier of (i) three years from the date of grant; (ii) two years after the closing of an initial public offering of common stock; and (iii) the closing of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company. The Company recorded the fair value of the warrants as stock-based compensation expense within general and administrative expense on the date of grant.

 

Common Stock Warrant Issued To Initial Public Offering Underwriter

 

In December 2016, the Company issued to the underwriter of its IPO a warrant to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $9.60 per share as consideration for providing services in connection with our initial public offering. The warrant was fully vested and exercisable on the date of grant. The common stock warrant is exercisable until five years from the date of grant. The Company estimated the fair value of the common stock warrant to be $939 on the date of grant using a Black- Scholes option pricing model based on the following significant inputs: common stock price of 8.00; comparable company volatility of 82.1%; remaining term 5 years; dividend yield of 0% and risk-free rate of 1.92%.

 

University of Arizona Common Stock Warrant

 

In connection with the June 2015 amended and restated exclusive license agreement with the University of Arizona (“University”), the Company issued to the University a common stock warrant to purchase 15,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $7.50 per share. The warrant is exercisable immediately and expires, if not exercised, five years from the date of grant. In the event of a “terminating change” of the Company, as defined in the warrant agreement, the warrant holder would be paid in cash the aggregate fair market value of the underlying shares immediately prior to the consummation of the terminating change event. Due to the cash settlement provision, the derivative warrant liability was recorded at fair value and is revalued at the end of each reporting period. The changes in fair value are reported in other income (expense) in the statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The estimated fair value of the derivative warrant liability was $53 at the date of grant.

 

The estimated fair value of the derivative warrant liability was $63 at December 31, 2015. As this derivative warrant liability is revalued at the end of each reporting period, the fair values as determined at the date of grant and subsequent periods was based on the following significant inputs using a Monte Carlo option pricing model: common stock price of $7.50 to $7.575; comparable company volatility of 60.8% to 81.4% of the underlying common stock; risk-free rates of 1.21% to 1.76%; and dividend yield of 0%; including the probability assessment of a terminating change event occurring. The change in fair value of the derivative warrant liability was $10 for the year ended December 31, 2015 and was recorded in other income (expense) in the accompanying statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
