Warrants Granted

 

2024

 

On August 12, 2024, in connection with a registered direct offering pursuant to the 2021 Form S-3, the Company issued Pre-Funded Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 3,557,273 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.001 per share.  The Pre-Funded Warrants are immediately exercisable and can be exercised at any time after their original issuance until such Pre-Funded Warrants are exercised in full.  See Note 7 – Common Stock – Equity Capital Raises – 2024 for further details.

 

On December 9, 2024, in connection with a registered direct offering pursuant to the 2021 Form S-3, the Company issued Form A Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 2,857,389 shares of our common stock and Form B Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,428,693 shares of our common stock. Each Form A Warrant has an exercise price per share of $0.5722 and each Form B Warrant has an exercise price per share of $00.71525. Each Form A Warrant and each Form B Warrant is exercisable on or after December 9, 2024 through and until December 9, 2029.  See Note 7 – Common Stock – Equity Capital Raises – 2024 for further details.

2023

 

The Company issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 448,500 shares of Company common stock to Freedom, at an exercise price of $2.00 per share. See Note 7 – Common Stock – Equity Capital Raises – 2023 for further details.

 

The Company evaluated the warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the specific terms of the warrants and applicable authoritative guidance in ASC 480 and ASC 815-40. The Company determined the warrants issued in the Freedom offering failed the indexation guidance under ASC 815-40, specifically, the warrants provide for a Black-Scholes value calculation in the event of certain transactions (“Fundamental Transactions”), which includes a floor on volatility utilized in the value calculation at 100% or greater. The Company has determined that this provision introduces leverage to the holders of the warrants that could result in a value that would be greater than the settlement amount of a fixed-for-fixed option on the Company’s own equity shares. Accordingly, pursuant to ASC 815-40, the Company has classified the fair value of the warrants as a liability upon issuance and marked to market each reporting period in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations until their exercise or expiration.

b) Options

 

The Company currently has options outstanding under both its 2011 Plan (for option issuances prior to 2016,) and its 2015 Plan (for option issuances commencing in 2016). Effective as of January 1, 2016, no additional awards were or may be made under the 2011 Plan. The Company also has the 2024 Plan (as defined below), however, as of December 31, 2024 no options had been awarded under such Plan.

 

The 2015 Plan was adopted by the Board of Directors on August 18, 2015 and approved by the stockholders at an annual meeting held on October 30, 2015. On August 5, 2016, the Board of Directors adopted an amendment to the 2015 Plan to increase the number of shares of common stock available for issuance under such Plan by 750,000 shares to an aggregate maximum of 1,750,000 shares, which amendment was approved by the stockholders at an annual meeting held on October 7, 2016. On June 13, 2017, the Board of Directors adopted a subsequent amendment to the 2015 Plan to increase the number of shares of common stock available for issuance under such Plan by 750,000 shares to an aggregate maximum of 2,500,000 shares, which amendment was approved by the stockholders at an annual meeting held on September 8, 2017. On June 15, 2018, the Board of Directors adopted a subsequent amendment to the 2015 Plan to increase the number of shares of common stock available for issuance under such Plan by 750,000 shares to an aggregate maximum of 3,250,000 shares, which amendment was approved by the stockholders at an annual meeting held on September 7, 2018.

 

On March 27, 2019, the Board of Directors adopted a subsequent amendment to the 2015 Plan to increase the number of shares of common stock available for issuance under such Plan by 1,000,000 shares to an aggregate maximum of 4,250,000 shares, which amendment was approved by the stockholders at an annual meeting held on June 14, 2019. On March 31, 2021, the Board of Directors adopted a subsequent amendment to the 2015 Plan to increase the number of shares of common stock available for issuance under such  Plan by 1,750,000 shares to an aggregate maximum of 6,000,000 shares, which amendment was approved by the stockholders at an annual meeting held on June 17, 2021.

 

On April 4, 2022, the Board of Directors adopted a subsequent amendment to the 2015 Plan to increase the number of shares of common stock available for issuance under such plan by 1,750,000 shares to an aggregate maximum of 7,750,000 shares, which amendment was approved by the stockholders at an annual meeting held on June 13, 2022.

 

On April 17, 2023, the Board of Directors adopted a subsequent amendment to the 2015 Plan to increase the number of shares of common stock available for issuance under such plan by 1,950,000 shares to an aggregate maximum of 9,700,000 shares, which amendment was approved by the stockholders at an annual meeting held on June 28, 2023.

 

The 2015 Plan permits the grant of incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, restricted stock awards, stock bonus awards, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock units and performance awards. The primary purpose of the 2015 Plan is to enhance the Company’s ability to attract and retain the services of qualified employees, officers, directors, consultants and other service providers upon whose judgment, initiative and efforts the successful conduct and development of the Company’s business largely depends, and to provide additional incentives to such persons or entities to devote their utmost effort and skill to the advancement and betterment of the Company, by providing them an opportunity to participate in the ownership of the Company that is tied to the Company’s performance, thereby giving them an interest in the success and increased value of the Company.  The 2015 Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee comprised solely of members of the Board of Directors or by the Board of Directors as a whole.

 

At the Annual Meeting on July 2, 2024, the stockholders approved and adopted the Company’s 2024 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2024 Plan ”) which authorizes up to 7,500,000 shares of common stock for issuance pursuant to awards granted under the 2024 Plan. The 2024 Plan had previously been approved by the Board of Directors of the Company on April 24, 2024. As of December 31, 2024, no options had been awarded under such Plan, however, RSUs for 1,000,000 shares had been awarded under the 2024 Plan.  See Note 8- Stock Compensation – Restricted Stock Units.

(i)

These RSUs were granted by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors in September 2023, with an effective date of October 19, 2023 and vest upon the share price closing above $5.00 per share for a minimum of thirty consecutive trading days within a period of three years from the date of grant, with further time-based vesting in a single installment six months after the timely achievement of the target, if at all, and subject to continued service. The estimated fair value of the RSUs that include a market vesting condition will be measured on the grant date using a Monte Carlo Simulation of a Geometric Brownian Motion stock path model and incorporating the probability of vesting occurring. The estimated fair value of these awards will be recognized over the derived service period (as determined by the valuation model), with such recognition occurring regardless of whether the market condition is met.

(I)

These RSUs vest upon the share price closing above $2.50 per share for a minimum of thirty consecutive trading days within a period of three and a half years from the date of grant, with further time-based vesting in a single installment six months after the timely achievement of the target, if at all, and subject to continued service. The estimated fair value of the RSUs that include a market vesting condition will be measured on the grant date using a Monte Carlo Simulation of a Geometric Brownian Motion stock path model and incorporating the probability of vesting occurring. The estimated fair value of these awards will be recognized over the derived service period (as determined by the valuation model), with such recognition occurring regardless of whether the market condition is met.

(ii)

These RSUs vest upon the share price closing above $5.00 per share for a minimum of thirty consecutive trading days within a period of three and a half years from the date of grant, with further time-based vesting in a single installment six months after the timely achievement of the target, if at all, and subject to continued service. The estimated fair value of the RSUs that include a market vesting condition will be measured on the grant date using a Monte Carlo Simulation of a Geometric Brownian Motion stock path model and incorporating the probability of vesting occurring.
