a.

Shares

 

On February 13, 2025, convertible promissory note (Note 11) was converted to 800,000 shares of common stock at the conversion price of $3.00 per share. Transaction costs incurred of $39 relating to the exercise of the conversion option are offset within additional paid-in capital.

 

On March 28, 2025, the Company entered into a private placement transaction (the “March 2025 Units Offering”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell (i) 547,737 shares of common stock and (ii) warrants (the “PIPE 2025 warrants”) to purchase up to 547,737 shares of common stock, at a combined purchase price of $3.00 per unit. Each warrant entitles the purchasers to acquire one share of common stock at a price of $4.00 per share for a period of three years from the date of issue. The Company issued broker warrants to purchase up to 25,958 shares of common stock to the associated broker in connection with the offering. The aggregate gross proceeds from the March 2025 Units Offering were $1,643. The Company incurred $179 of costs associated with the issuance. The PIPE 2025 warrants and related broker warrants are equity classified instruments and are recorded as equity.

 

On April 28, 2025, the Company issued 340,000 shares of common stock pursuant to the Inducement Agreement (Note 15.b).

 

On April 30, 2025, the Company issued 857,142 shares of common stock for the acquisition of Evoke (Note 4). The shares were measured at fair value at $3.20 per share.

 

On June 16, 2025, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain accredited investors (the “Investors”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell 400,000 units (each, a “Unit” and collectively, the “Units”) at a purchase price of $3.00 per Unit, for aggregate gross proceeds of $1,200. Each Unit consists of (i) either (A) one share of common stock or (B) a prefunded warrant to purchase one share of common stock (the “Pre-Funded Warrant”) at a nominal exercise price of $0.0001 per share, (ii) one common stock purchase warrant (the “$3.50 Warrant”) to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $3.50 per share, exercisable for five years, and (iii) one common stock purchase warrant (the “$4.00 Warrant,” and together with the Pre-Funded Warrants and $3.50 Warrants, the “Warrants”) to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $4.00 per share, also exercisable for five years. The Company issued 400,000 Units to the Investors, consisting of 340,000 shares of common stock, 60,000 Pre-Funded Warrants, 400,000 $3.50 Warrants, and 400,000 $4.00 Warrants. The Company incurred no costs associated with the issuance.

 

During the year ended  December 31, 2024, the Company issued 86,953 Series C Units and received aggregate gross proceeds of $1,070. The Company incurred $125 of costs associated with the issuance and issued broker warrants to purchase up to 4,163 shares of common stock to the associated broker in connection with the Series C Offering. The shares of Series C Preferred Stock issued are equity classified instruments and are recorded as equity. Each Series C Warrant entitles the purchasers to acquire one share of common stock at an exercise price of $24.62 per share for a period of three years from the date of issuance (Note 15.a). The conversion price of the Series C Preferred Stock was amended contemporaneously with the consummation of the Merger. As of August 12, 2024, the mandatory conversion feature of the Series C Preferred Stock was triggered upon the consummation of the Merger. Pursuant to the terms of Series C Preferred Stock, all issued and outstanding shares of the Series C Preferred Stock converted into 596,145 shares of common stock upon consummation of the Merger.

 

On July 26, 2024, the Company entered into a private placement transaction (the “PIPE”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell (i) 319,207 shares of common stock and (ii) pre-funded warrants (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”) to purchase up to 504,324 shares of common stock, and (iii) warrants (the “PIPE Warrants”) to purchase up to 823,530 shares of common stock (as adjusted for the Exchange Ratio). The purchase price of each share of common stock and accompanying PIPE Warrant was $4.25 and the purchase price of each Pre-Funded Warrant and accompanying PIPE Warrant was $4.249. The PIPE closed on August 12, 2024, contemporaneously with the consummation of the Merger. The aggregate gross proceeds from the PIPE were approximately $3,500. The Company incurred $137 of costs associated with the issuance.

 

On July 27, 2024, the Company entered into four standalone strategic investment agreements. One of the service providers is owned by a director of the Company (Note 15.a). Pursuant to the strategic investment agreements, the Company agreed to issue 433,360 of shares of common stock. The shares are fully vested upon issuance and have been valued at $2,440. These shares were subject to regulatory lock-up restrictions. Of these shares, 140,749 are subject to a 12-month lock-up restriction and 292,611 shares are subject to a 6-month lock-up restriction. The restriction is a characteristic of the security and, therefore, is considered in the fair value measurements. The shares were measured at fair value, considering the effect of the post-vesting restrictions via accounting for discount for lack of marketability (“DLOM”), determined using the Finnerty model. The shares were issued on August 12, 2024, contemporaneously with the consummation of the Merger. Pursuant to the terms of the strategic investment agreements, the service providers granted the Company $2,925 of service credits to perform business consulting and software development services that are to be consumed in future. Service credits were recognized as prepaid expenses in accordance with ASC 718 (Note 6).

 

On August 12, 2024, the Company issued 45,344 shares of common stock with the intention to settle accrued liabilities. As the Company did not reach a contractual agreement to settle the outstanding amount, the Company recognized a note receivable as contra-equity in return for shares of common stock issued.

 

On August 12, 2024, pursuant to the terms of the restricted share units (the “RSUs”), all issued and outstanding RSUs of the Company vested and the Company issued 59,264 shares of common stock and recognized $410 of share-based compensation expense (Note 15.f).

 

In August 2024, the Company issued 802,142 shares of common stock to WaveDancer’s pre-Merger shareholders (Note 5).

Pursuant to the Inducement Agreement, PIPE 2024 warrant holders agreed to exercise for cash PIPE 2024 warrants to purchase up to 823,530 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $6.83.

The Company recorded a deemed dividend of $4,410 in relation to the Inducement Agreement as it is considered an inducement offer to exercise the PIPE 2024 warrants.

On April 28, 2025, the Company issued 340,000 shares of its common stock pursuant to the Inducement Agreement.

 

On December 16, 2025, the Company entered into a warrants cancellation and exchange agreement (the “Warrant Exchange Agreement”) with holders of the Company's $3.50 and $4.00 Warrants.

Further, the Company received proceeds of $3,200 from the exercise of Convertible Promissory Note Warrants (Note 11).
