Class C Common Stock Warrants

 

As of March 31, 2025, the Company has 232,360 outstanding Class C Common Stock Warrants to purchase up to 485 shares of common stock with a exercise price of $16.00, which expire on February 14, 2028. The Class C Common Stock Warrants, which were issued in 2023, are treated as a liability due to the alternative cashless exercise for 0.4 shares of common stock per warrant.

 

As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the fair value of the Class C Common Stock Warrants was $829 and $2,246, respectively, using a Black-Scholes model and Monte-Carlo simulation model as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the gain of $1,417 and $68,427, respectively, resulting from the change in the fair value of the liability for the unexercised warrants was recorded as a change in fair value of the warrant liability in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Class C Common Stock Warrants

 

In connection with the February 2023 Public Offering, the Company issued 6,450,000 Class C Common Stock Warrants to purchase up to 13,438 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2,572.80 per share, valued on the public offering purchase date in the aggregate at $13,996,500 and included in the issuance costs of the public offering and treated as a liability. The warrants were exercisable immediately upon issuance, provide for a cash, cashless exercise right or an alternative cashless exercise right for 0.4 shares of common stock per Class C Common Stock Warrant and expire on February 14, 2028.

 

The Company evaluated the Class C Common Stock Warrants under ASC 815-40 and concluded that they do not meet the criteria to be classified in stockholders’ equity and accounted for the Class C Common Stock Warrants as current liabilities.

 

The Company concluded that the multiplier of 0.4 shares of common stock per Class C Common Stock Warrant used in the alternative cashless exercise precludes the Class C Common Stock Warrants from being considered indexed to the Company’s stock. The Company recorded the Class C Common Stock Warrants as current liabilities on the balance sheet at fair value, with subsequent changes in their respective fair values recognized in the consolidated statements of operations at each reporting date. Estimating fair values of liability-classified financial instruments requires the development of estimates that may, and are likely to, change over the duration of the instrument with related changes in internal and external market factors. In addition, option-based techniques are highly volatile and sensitive to changes in the trading market price of the Company’s common stock. Because liability-classified financial instruments are initially and subsequently carried at fair value, the Company’s financial results will reflect the volatility in these estimate and assumption changes. Changes in fair value are recognized as a component of other (expense) income in the consolidated statements of operations.

At the date of issuance, the Company valued the Class C Common Stock Warrants using a Monte-Carlo simulation model with a fair value of $14.0 million.

 

As of December 31, 2024, the Company has received notices of alternative cashless exercises for 6,217,640 Class C Common Stock Warrants issued in connection with the February 2023 Public Offering for 5,160 shares of common stock.

For year ended December 31, 2024, the gain of $0.1 million, resulting from the change in the fair value of the liability for the unexercised warrants was recorded as a change in fair value of the warrant liability in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
