May 2024 Equity Financing

 

On May 1, 2024, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement with Aegis Capital Corp., in connection with a firm commitment underwritten public offering (the “Offering”), providing for the issuance of (i) 554,705 units (the “Common Units”), each consisting of one share of common stock of the Company (“Common Stock”), a warrant to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $0.85 per share, which warrant will expire on the two-and-a-half year anniversary of the original issuance date (the “Series A Warrants”), and a warrant to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $0.85 per share, which warrant will expire on the five-year anniversary of the original issuance date (the “Series B Warrants”); and (ii) 11,210,000 pre-funded units (the “Pre-funded Units”), each consisting of one pre-funded warrant to purchase one share of common stock (the “Pre-funded Warrants”), a Series A Warrant and a Series B Warrant. The purchase price of each Unit was $0.85, and the purchase price of each Pre-Funded Unit was $0.849. The Pre-Funded Warrants are immediately exercisable and may be exercised at any time until all of the Pre-Funded Warrants are exercised in full.

 

In addition, the Company granted the Underwriter a 45-day option to purchase additional 1,764,705 shares of common stock and/or Pre-Funded Warrants, representing up to 15% of the number of common stock and Pre-Funded Warrants sold in the Offering, and/or additional 1,764,705 Series A Warrants representing up to 15% of the Series A Warrants sold in the Offering, and/or additional 1,764,705 Series B Warrants representing up to 15% of the Series B Warrants sold in the Offering to cover over-allotments, if any. The Offering closed on May 3, 2024. An aggregate of 11,764,705 Units (which includes 554,705 shares of common stock), 11,210,000 Pre-Funded Units (which includes 11,210,000 Pre-Funded Warrants), and a Series A Warrant and a Series B Warrant were sold in the Offering. On May 3, 2024, the Underwriter partially exercised its over-allotment option with respect to 1,764,705 Series A Warrants and 1,764,705 Series B Warrants. The aggregate gross proceeds to the Company were $10,035,293, before deducting underwriting discounts and other issuance expenses of $1,133,166. The underwriting discounts and other issuance expenses were expensed since the Series A, Series B, and Pre-Funded Warrants were each determined to be liabilities and recorded at their fair value.

 

 

May 2024 Warrants

 

The Company evaluated the Series A, Series B, and Prefunded Warrants (collectively, the “Warrants”) in accordance with the guidance at ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity and ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging, and determined that the Warrants are precluded from being considered indexed to the entity’s own stock, resulting in the Warrants being classified as a liability. The fair value of the Series A Warrants was determined based on the stock price on issuance of $0.277 multiplied by the total number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Series A alternative cashless exercise. Under the alternative cashless exercise, the Holder is entitled to receive three times the normal amount of shares issued in a cashless exercise. The Series A Holder may only execute the alternative cashless exercise after Stockholder Approval (and received June 17, 2024); at the time of issuance, Stockholder Approval was deemed perfunctory and almost certain to occur, and the most likely settlement option would be through the alternative cashless exercise. As such, upon issuance, the total fair value of the Series A Warrants was $11,242,940, which was based on 40,588,230 units issued under the alternative cashless exercise. The measurement of fair value of the Series B Warrants were determined utilizing a Black-Scholes model considering all relevant assumptions current at the date of issuance (i.e., share price of $0.277, exercise price of $0.85, term of five years, volatility of 132%, risk-free rate of 4.5%, and expected dividend rate of 0%). The grant date fair value of these Series B Warrants was estimated to be $2,942,711 on May 3, 2024, and such warrants were classified as liabilities. Due to the nominal exercise price, the fair value of the Prefunded Warrants was based on the intrinsic value of each Warrant on the grant date. The intrinsic value was calculated based on the May 3, 2024, stock price of $0.277 and the strike price of $0.001, resulting in a total fair value of $3,093,960. The total fair value of the Warrants upon issuance was $17,279,611. Given that the gross proceeds received of $10,024,083 was less than the total fair value of the liability classified Warrants, the Company recorded a loss on excess fair value of $7,255,528 at issuance.
