On April 28, 2022, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with an institutional investor. The Purchase Agreement provides for the sale and issuance by the Company of an aggregate of: (i) 9,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value, (ii) pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 7,153,847 shares of Common Stock and (iii) accompanying warrants to purchase up to 16,153,847 shares of Common Stock. The offering price per share and associated prefunded warrants was $1.30 for the shares and $1.2999 for the prefunded warrants. The prefunded warrants were immediately exercisable, had an exercise price of .0001 and were exercised during the three months ended June 30, 2022.

 

The accompanying warrants have an exercise price of $1.31, and will be exercisable 6-months after their date of issuance and will expire on the fifth anniversary of the original issuance date.

 

Common stock warrants are accounted for in accordance with applicable accounting guidance provided in ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (ASC Topic 815), as either derivative liabilities or equity instruments depending on the specific terms of the warrant agreement.

 

The Company’s warrants are considered to be derivative warrants, are classified as liabilities, and are recorded at fair value. The warrants are subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date and any change in fair value is recognized as a component of change in fair value of warrant liability in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company uses the Black-Scholes pricing model to estimate the fair value of the related derivative warrant liability. The warrants are classified as Level 3 liabilities (see Note 12 for fair value disclosures.)
