In prior years, the Company issued warrants to purchase 27,816 shares of common stock in a private-placement (the "Private Warrants") and classified the warrants as derivative liabilities, pursuant to ASC 815, as the Private Warrants have an exercise price that is subject to potential adjustment, with subsequent changes in their fair values to be recognized in the consolidated statement of operations at each reporting date. The Company calculated the fair value of the Private Warrants as of December 31, 2024 as $89,010 using a Lattice model. The Private Warrants expired on December 14, 2025. Upon expiration, the associated warrant liabilities were derecognized, and the remaining fair value was written off through the consolidated statement of operations.

 

The assumptions and key inputs used in the Lattice calculation were the following:

 

   

December 31, 2024

  

Risk-free interest rate

     4.17 %

Remaining expected term of Private Warrants

     0.95  

Expected volatility(1)

     128.70 %

Stock price on valuation date

   $ 36.20  

Exercise price

   $ 230.00  

Expected dividend

     — %

(1) Based on volatility implied by the Company's publicly traded warrant market price.
