The pre-funded warrants are immediately exercisable upon issuance and may be exercised at any time until all pre-funded warrants are exercised in full. The Series A and B warrants will be exercisable only upon receipt of such shareholder approval as may be required by the applicable rules and regulations of the Nasdaq to permit the exercise of the Series A and B warrants, after which the Series A warrants will be exercisable for a period of five years and the Series B warrants will be exercisable for two and one-half years. The pre-funded warrants and Series A and B warrants contain standard adjustments to the exercise price, including for stock splits, stock dividends and pro rata distributions and contain customary terms regarding the treatment of such pre-funded warrants or the Series A and B warrants in the event of a fundamental transaction, which include but are not limited to a merger or consolidation involving the Company, a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or a business combination resulting in any person acquiring more than 50% of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company. Additionally, the pre-funded warrants, Series A warrants, and Series B warrants include restrictions on exercise in the event the purchaser’s beneficial ownership of the Company’s common stock would exceed 4.99% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise.

 

The Series A and B warrants include an exercise price adjustment feature upon shareholder approval, whereby the exercise price will adjust to the greater of the lowest daily volume weighted average price during the reset period or the floor price ($6.844 per share), with a proportional increase in the number of warrant shares. The Series A and B warrants can be settled by a cash exercise or by cashless exercise, and the Series B warrants specifically can be settled by way of an alternative cashless exercise after shareholder approval is obtained, in which the Series B warrant holders can receive the same number of shares of common stock that would be issuable under a cash exercise. Upon meeting certain stock price requirements, the Company has the right to redeem any outstanding Series A and Series B warrants for $2.00 per share, provided the holders do not elect to exercise prior to redemption.

 

The Company assessed the pre-funded warrants under ASC 480 and ASC 815 and determined that the pre-funded warrants met the requirements to be classified in stockholders’ equity. The Company assessed the Series A and B warrants under ASC 480 and ASC 815 and determined that the Series A and B warrants will be classified as liabilities as they do not meet the requirements to be considered indexed to the Company’s own stock, due to (a) the adjustment to the exercise price tied to shareholder approval, and (b) the potential change in the settlement amount of the Series B warrants upon an alternative cashless exercise election. Additionally, the Company concluded at issuance that it would not have sufficient authorized and available shares of common stock to settle the Series A and B warrants. See Note 13 – Derivative Liability.

 

At inception, the estimated fair value of the Series A warrants was $5,900,000 and the Series B warrants was $11,000,000, for a total estimated fair value of $16,900,000. The total fair value exceeded the proceeds received in the offering by $8,000,000, which the Company recorded as a loss upon issuance of warrants. The Company also expensed approximately $900,000 of issuance costs incurred in the offering, resulting in a total loss on issuance of $8,889,000. The estimated fair values of the Series A and B warrants have been recorded as a derivative liability at issuance and at December 31, 2024. In the Company’s consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recognized a gain of $334,000 for the change in the fair value measurement of the warrant liability.

During December 2024, the 258,412 pre-funded warrants were exercised in full, resulting in the Company receiving $500,000 in cash proceeds.

 

On January 14, 2025, the Company’s stockholders approved the issuance of the Series A and B warrants that had been issued by the Company in the public offering of securities that the Company had completed on December 6, 2024, at which time all of the Series A and B warrants became exercisable. This approval triggered the adjustment to the exercise price. In connection with this approval, the holders of the Series B Warrants exercised their warrants in full under the alternative cashless exercise provision, resulting in the issuance of 1,910,975 shares of common stock and no additional proceeds received by the Company.
