(10) Stockholders’ Equity

 

Common Stock

 

On January 5, 2026, 15,000 restricted stock units at an exercise price of $3.65 were issued to a board advisor, vesting in equal quarterly installments of 3,750 shares beginning on the grant date. The first installment of 3,750 shares was issued on January 5, 2026. The restricted stock unites were granted under the Company’s 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2020 Plan”).

 

On January 30, 2026, the Company granted restricted stock awards under the 2020 Plan to the officers of the Company for an aggregate of 150,000 shares of common stock (50,000 each) valued at $456,000. These restricted stock awards vested immediately.

 

Rights Offering

 

On January 14, 2026, the Company closed on a rights offering of transferable Unit Subscription Rights that had been distributed to eligible holders of the Company’s common stock and certain warrant holders as of the November 10, 2025 record date. The Unit Subscription Rights expired on January 9, 2026, and the Company received aggregate gross proceeds of $9,072,816 from 1,247,086 basic subscriptions and 1,021,118 over-subscriptions. As a result of the closing, the Company issued 2,268,204 Units, each Unit consisting of one share of common stock, one Series A Right to purchase one share of common stock at $5.00 per share (expiring July 18, 2026), and one Series B Right to purchase one share of common stock at $6.00 per share (expiring November 20, 2026).

Of the gross proceeds, $6,704,304 had been received in escrow during 2025 and was reflected as rights offering proceeds held in escrow with a corresponding subscription liability in the consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2025; the remaining $2,368,512 was received during the three months ended March 31, 2026. Total cash issuance costs of $1,009,318 (consisting of placement-agent fees and other offering expenses) were incurred, of which $164,807 had been paid in 2025 and capitalized as deferred offering costs at December 31, 2025. Net proceeds from the rights offering were $8,063,498.

 

The Series A Rights and Series B Rights commenced trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market under the symbols “AMPGR” and “AMPGZ,” respectively, on February 3, 2026.

 

The Company evaluated the Unit Subscription Rights, Series A Rights, and Series B Rights as freestanding equity instruments under ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity,” and ASC 815-40, “Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity,” and determined that all instruments qualify for equity classification. Accordingly, the gross proceeds were recorded to stockholders’ equity.

 

In connection with the Rights Offering, the Company determined that a bonus element existed under ASC 260 “Earnings Per Share,” because the implied subscription price attributable to the common stock component of the $4.00 Unit price, after deducting the fair values of the Series A Right and Series B Right as of November 6, 2025, the last trading day prior to the November 7, 2025 ex-dividend date, was below the market price of the Company’s common stock on that date. Accordingly, the weighted-average common shares outstanding for all periods presented prior to the ex-dividend date have been retroactively adjusted by a factor of 1.03 in accordance with ASC 260-10-55-14.

 

Registered Direct Offering

 

On January 27, 2026, the Company closed a registered direct offering with five institutional investors, issuing 2,230,000 Units at $4.055 per Unit, with each Unit consisting of one share of common stock, one Series A Right to purchase one share of common stock at $5.00 per share (expiring July 18, 2026), and one Series B Right to purchase one share of common stock at $6.00 per share (expiring November 20, 2026), on substantially the same terms as the Series Rights issued in the rights offering described above. The Company received gross proceeds of $9,042,650 and net proceeds of $8,323,748 after deducting cash issuance costs of $718,902, consisting of a 6.0% placement-agent fee and other offering expenses (including up to $15,000 of accountable expense reimbursement to the placement agent).

 

Consistent with the conclusion reached in connection with the rights offering described above, the Company evaluated the common stock, the Series A Rights, and the Series B Rights as freestanding equity instruments under ASC 480 and ASC 815-40 and concluded that all instruments qualify for equity classification. Accordingly, the gross proceeds were recorded to stockholders’ equity.
