The change in fair value on convertible debt resulted in a loss of approximately $1,708,000 and a gain of approximately $25,000 for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, which was recorded as a component of other income on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Amended 2022 Convertible Notes, 2023 Convertible Notes, and 2024 Convertible Notes: The Amended 2022 Convertible Notes, 2023 Convertible Notes, and 2024 Convertible Notes are re-measured to fair value at each reporting period using the following relevant assumptions: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | December 31, 2024 | | December 31, 2023 | | Discount rate | | | | | | | | | 20.0 | % | | 15.0 | % | Probability of conversion at maturity scenario | | | | | | | | | 70.0 - 100.0 | % | | 15.0 | % | Probability of voluntary conversion scenario | | | | | | | | | 0.0 - 30.0 | % | | N/A | | Probability of automatic conversion scenario | | | | | | | | | N/A | | | 85.0 | % | Remaining term for conversion at maturity scenario | | | | | | | | | 0.01 - 0.28 years | | | 0.88 - 1.38 years | | Remaining term for voluntary conversion scenario | | | | | | | | | 0.01 - 0.03 years | | | N/A | | Remaining term for automatic conversion scenario | | | | | | | | | N/A | | | 0.50 years | |
Assumed 2024 Note: The fair value of the Assumed 2024 Note is re-measured to fair value at each reporting period using unobservable inputs, the most significant of which was the expected average volume weighted average price for a share of the Company’s common stock for the five-business day period preceding the maturity date of the Company at the maturity date. SEPA Convertible Note: The fair value of the SEPA Convertible Note was determined utilizing a Monte Carlo simulation considering the following relevant assumptions: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | December 31, 2024 | | December 17, 2024 (issuance) | | Remaining term | | | | | | | | | 0.97 years | | | 1.00 years | | Volatility | | | | | | | | | 88.0 | % | | 88.0 | % | Risk-free rate | | | | | | | | | 4.3 | % | | 4.3 | % | Drift term | | | | | | | | | 4.2 | % | | 4.2 | % | Conversion price for payments to be made through issuance of Company's common stock | | | | | | | | $ | 0.41 | | $ | 0.41 | | Payments to be made through issuance of shares of Company's common stock | | | | | | | | | 11.1 | % | | 11.1 | % | Payments to be made in cash | | | | | | | | | 88.9 | % | | 88.9 | % |
Forward Purchase Agreement The change in fair value on the forward purchase agreement resulted in a net loss of approximately $8,254,390 and a gain on modification of the forward purchase agreement was approximately $1,572,236 for the year ended December 31, 2024, which was recorded as a component of other income on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The fair value of the FPA was re-measured to fair value at assumption and immediately prior to the modification utilizing a Black-Scholes option pricing model that utilizes the following relevant assumptions: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | August 2, 2024 (modification) | | July 12, 2024 (assumption) | | Expected term | | | | | | | | | 2.94 years | | | 3.0 years | | Price per share of Company's common stock | | | | | | | | $ | 0.78 | | $ | 3.54 | | Exercise price | | | | | | | | $ | 13.36 | | $ | 13.36 | | Volatility | | | | | | | | | 80.0 | % | | 46.0 | % | Risk-free interest rate | | | | | | | | | 3.7 | % | | 4.2 | % | Dividend rate | | | | | | | | | 0.0 | % | | 0.0 | % | Probability of completing the Business Combination | | | | | | | | | N/A | | | 100.0 | % |
The FPA Amendment provide two settlement options whereby the 2024 FPA can be settled either at maturity if shares of the Company’s common stock are trading above $2.00 per share (the “Maturity Settlement Scenario”) or at the Company’s request for a prepayment short-fall whereby the Company requests Meteora to sell shares (the “Prepayment Shortfall Scenario”). The Second FPA Amendment also provides a Maturity Settlement Scenario and a Prepayment Shortfall Scenario, with a revised definition for the Prepayment Shortfall Scenario (see Note 14). The fair value of the 2024 FPA was re-measured to fair value at each subsequent reporting period and immediately prior to its modification in December 2024 and the fair value of the Amended 2024 FPA was measured at fair value immediately subsequent to the modification in December 2024 and each subsequent reporting period utilizing a Monte Carlo simulation model that applies a probability of occurrence to the present value of each settlement scenario. as follows: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Amended 2024 FPA | | 2024 FPA | | | | | | | December 31, 2024 | | December 16, 2024 (modification) | | December 16, 2024 (modification) | | Probability of maturity settlement scenario | | | | | | 15.0 | % | | 15.0 | % | | 15.0 | % | Probability of prepayment shortfall settlement scenario | | | | | | 85.0 | % | | 85.0 | % | | 85.0 | % | Recycled Shares held by Meteora | | | | | | 1,703,890 | | | 1,703,890 | | | 2,203,890 | | Price per share of Company's common stock | | | | | $ | 1.21 | | $ | 0.77 | | $ | 0.77 | | Remaining term | | | | | | 2.53 years | | | 2.57 years | | | 2.57 years | | Risk-free interest rate | | | | | | 4.3 | % | | 4.2 | % | | 4.2 | % | Drift term | | | | | | 4.2 | % | | 4.1 | % | | 4.1 | % | Volatility | | | | | | 85.0 | % | | 81.0 | % | | 81.0 | % | Forecasted price per share of Company's common stock at maturity | | | | | | 2.30 | | | 0.37 | | $ | 0.37 | | Expected margin from Meteora's sale of Recycled Shares | | | | | | 76.9 | % | | 76.9 | % | | 83.3 | % |
