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, as of
March 31, 2019,
the warrants issued in the public and private placement were classified as liabilities. As long as the warrants remained liability-classified, they were continued to be re-measured each reporting period, with any increase or decrease in value recorded as a loss or gain in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. 
 
 
The initial fair value of the warrants was determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. The following assumptions were used to value the warrants at the grant date:
 
   
Warrants
 
Expected Term (years)
 
5 years
 
Volatility
   
85
%
Dividend yield
   
0.00
%
Exercise Price
  $
0.50
 
Risk-free interest rate
   
2.50
%
Weighted average fair value of warrants granted
  $
0.22
 
Number of shares underlying warrants granted
   
1,749,171
 
 
As these warrants are liability-classified, they were revalued at
March 31, 2019
using the following assumptions:
 
   
Warrants
 
Expected Term (years)
   
4.9
 
Volatility
   
85
%
Dividend yield
   
0.00
%
Exercise Price
  $
0.50
 
Risk-free interest rate
   
2.23
%
Weighted average fair value of warrants granted
  $
0.19
 
 
Additionally, approximately
90,000
of the shares to be issued were also classified as liability until there was a sufficient number of authorized shares of common stock to cover the issuance of the shares. These shares were valued at the trading price of a share of the Company’s common stock (
$0.33
upon the creation of the liability and as of
March 31, 2019)
and are  continuously re-measured each reporting period, with any increase or decrease in value recorded as a loss or gain in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. For the
three
months ended
March 31, 2019
the Company has recorded a gain of approximately
$40,000
in relation to the revaluation of the derivative warrants and shares to be issued.  There were
no
derivative instruments during the
three
months ended
March 31, 2020.  
 
On
December 17, 2019,
the Company’s shareholders approved an increase to the authorized share limit to
75,000,000.
On
December 17, 2019,
the Company reclassified all derivative liabilities related to the insufficient number of authorized shares to stockholders’ equity.
