PREFERRED STOCK
 
 
In
May 2014,
Milestone completed a private placement, which raised gross proceeds of
$10
million, from the sale of
$3
million of Milestone Scientific common stock (
two million
shares at
$1.50
per share) and
$7
million of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock ("preferred stock") (
7,000
shares at
$1,000
per share).  These shares were convertible, at the option of the holder, into the number of shares of common stock equal to the stated value divided by
$2.545,
subject to anti-dilution adjustments, at any time before
May 14, 2019.
 
These shares were mandatory convertible on
May 14, 2019,
into the number of shares of common stock equal to the stated value divided by
$2.54
 per share or
$1.50
per share if the common stock does
not
trade at
$3.15
for period of time, as defined by the agreements, both subject to anti-dilution adjustment.
 
On
May 14, 2019,
the mandatory conversion date, the Preferred Stock was converted at a rate of
$1.17
per common share resulting in the issuance of
5,982,906
shares of common stock.

OUTSTANDING EQUITY INSTRUMENTS IN EXCESS OF AUTHORIZED SHARES
 
As a result of the shares and warrants issued in the public and private offerings as well as other issuance of common stock during
2019,
the Company did
not
have a sufficient number of authorized shares of common stock to cover the exercise and issue of outstanding equity instruments. Therefore, certain equity instruments are classified as liabilities until there is a sufficient number of authorized shares of common stock to cover the shares issuable upon exercise of the equity instruments. As long as these equity instruments are liability-classified, they will continue to be re-measured each reporting period, with any increase or decrease in value recorded as a loss or gain in the consolidated statement of operations. 
 
During
2019,
the Company initially reclassified approximately
1.6
million warrants issued during the
2016
capital raise,
1.7
million warrants during the
2019
capital raise,
0.6
million employee options, and
3.4
million shares to be issued, totaling approximately
$
-,
$376,000,
$422,000,
and
$1,405,000,
respectively.  During the year, approximately
665,000
of the warrants issued in
2019,
and
1.3
million shares to be issued were exercised and issued, respectively.   Through the exercise date and issuance date, these warrants and shares to be issued were marked to market and a loss of
$0.5
million and
$0.5
million was recognized, respectively.  At the exercise and issuance dates, this resulted in a reclassification of the derivative liabilities to additional paid in capital of approximately
$0.65
million and
$1.07
million, respectively.
 
The fair value of the Company’s shares to be issued is measured using the trading price of the Company’s stock on the measurement and reclassification dates and the fair value of the warrants and stock options is determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing model on the measurement and reclassification dates
 
On
December 17, 2019,
the Company’s shareholders increased the authorized share limit to
75,000,000,
and the Company had sufficient authorized shares to cover the exercise and issuance of all outstanding securities, settling and reclassifying the outstanding derivative liability.  At time of reclassification approximately
1.6
million warrants issued during
2016
capital raise,
1.1
million warrants during the
2019
capital raise,
0.6
million employee options, and
2.1
million shares to be issued, were marked to market for reported losses (gains) totaling approximately
$-,
$860,000,
(
$40,000
), and
$1,800,000,
respectively or approximately
$2.6
million.  At
December 17, 2019,
the reclassification of derivative liabilities to additional paid in capital was approximately
$-,
$1,095,000,
$380,000,
and
$2,640,000,
respectively for a total of approximately
$4.1
million.

2016
warrants,
2019
warrants, and employee stock options was approximately $

,
respectively. The
3.4
million shares to be issued were reclassified to derivative liability at the average common stock trading price of
$0.42
in the amount of approximately
$1.4
million.
During the year ended
December 31, 2019
approximately
675,000
liability classified warrants were exercised.  At time of exercise, these warrants were revalued using the following assumptions:

was recognized up to the date of reclassification. In addition, during
2019,
approximately

which resulted to a reclassification to additional paid in capital of

up to the date of reclassification.
