6. WARRANT LIABILITIES

 

In September 2023, in conjunction with the business combination with Rosecliff Acquisition Corp I (the “Business Combination”), the Company assumed the public warrants which had an exercise price of $11.50 per share, are exercisable 30 days after the Business Combination and expire five years after the Business Combination or upon redemption (the “Public Warrants”). In November 2024, the Company amended the Public Warrants to have an exercise price of $2.75 per share. As of June 30, 2026, there are 8,433,333 Public Warrants outstanding. Each warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $2.75 per full share. The Company maintains a redemption right with respect to the Public Warrants in that the Company can redeem some or all of the Public Warrants for $0.10 per Public Warrant based on certain market conditions and the market price of the Company Common Stock.

 

In September 2021, the Company issued 73,978 warrants, with a strike price of $7.32 and a five-year life, to SP Angel Corporate Finance LLP (“SP Angel”), who acted as nominated adviser and broker to the Company for the purposes of the AIM Rules relating to the London Stock Market (the “Angel Warrants”). In conjunction with the Business Combination, the Angel Warrants were converted into warrants to purchase Common Stock based on the exchange ratio as set forth in the Business Combination agreements. As of June 30, 2026, there are 77,017 Angel Warrants to purchase Common Stock outstanding. In December 2025, SP Angel was issued 3,039 additional Angel Warrants due to an anti-dilution right that was implicated in a Qualifying Financing (as defined in the warrant agreement). The Hudson Bay transaction, which closed in October 2025, qualified as a Qualifying Financing. Following the adjustment, 77,017 Angel Warrants were outstanding.

 

Investor Warrants: On March 21, 2025, the Company entered into the purchase agreements with certain stockholders for the sale of an aggregate of 2,068,846 shares of Common Stock, at an offering price of $1.30 per Share (the “Purchase Agreements”). In a concurrent private placement pursuant to the Purchase Agreements, the Company agreed to sell to the investors an aggregate of 2,068,846 warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.80 per share (the “Investor Warrants”). The Investor Warrants, along with the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Investor Warrants, were offered pursuant to the exemptions provided in Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). No consideration was received by the Company for the issuance of the Investor Warrants.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2025, 1,403,846 Investor Warrants were exercised. The warrants were remeasured to fair value immediately prior to exercise and the carrying amount of the warrant liability was derecognized and reclassified to additional paid-in-capital. Any proceeds received from exercise were recognized in stockholders’ equity. The exercise of warrants resulted in an increase to stockholders’ equity of $4.7 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, 30,000 Investor Warrants were exercised. As of June 30, 2026, there were 635,000 Investor Warrants to purchase Common Stock outstanding.

 

Avenue Warrants: On March 24, 2025, the Company completed the Avenue Financing, with an initial draw-down of $8.5 million. As part of the Avenue Financing, the Company issued 768,072 warrants to Avenue Capital Group which was equal to 8.5% of the total funding commitment (the “Avenue Warrants”). As of June 30, 2026, the Avenue Warrants have an exercise price equal to $1.66 per share. The Avenue Warrants were determined to be classified as a liability instrument as certain terms preclude them from being considered indexed to the Company’s Common Stock.

 

As of June 30, 2026, there were 768,072 Avenue Warrants to purchase Common Stock outstanding.

 

Hudson Warrants: On October 22, 2025, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with a certain investor for the sale of 3,065,000 shares of Common Stock, at an offering price of $1.90 per Share. In a concurrent private placement pursuant to the purchase agreement, the Company agreed to sell to the investor (i) warrants (the “Hudson Warrants”) to purchase up to 4,000,000 shares of Common Stock, and (ii) pre-funded warrants (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”) to purchase up to 935,000 shares of Common Stock. Each Hudson Warrant has an exercise price per share of $2.51 and became exercisable on May 29, 2026, as the Company obtained stockholder approval at its annual meeting for the issuance of shares of Common Stock underlying the Hudon Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants. Each Pre-Funded Warrant has a purchase price of $1.8999, an exercise price per share of $0.0001, is exercisable immediately and may be exercised at any time until such Pre-Funded Warrant is exercised in full. The Hudson Warrants and the Pre-Funded Warrants, along with the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the warrants, are being offered pursuant to the exemptions provided in Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2026, 935,000 Pre-Funded Warrants were exercised, at an exercise price per share of $0.0001. As of June 30, 2026, there were no Pre-Funded Warrants outstanding and 4,000,000 Hudson Warrants to purchase Common Stock outstanding.

 

The Company accounts for its Public Warrants, Angel Warrants, Investor Warrants, Avenue Warrants and Hudson Warrants as derivative liabilities. Accordingly, the Company recognizes the instruments as liabilities at fair value, and adjusts the instruments to fair value at the end of each reporting period. The liabilities are subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, redeemed or expired, and any change in fair value is recognized in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations within other income (expense).

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

The following table presents information about the Company’s financial liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, by level within the fair value hierarchy (in thousands):

There were no transfers between Level 1, 2 or 3 during the six months ended June 30, 2026.

 

Fair values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and short-term debt are carried at cost, which management believes approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The fair value of the Public Warrants, which trade in active markets, is based on quoted market prices and classified in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The Angel Warrants, Avenue Warrants, Investor Warrants, and Hudson Warrants are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy because their fair values are based on significant inputs that are unobservable in the market.

 

The fair value of the Angel Warrants and Avenue Warrants at June 30, 2026 were estimated using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value of the Investor Warrants and Hudson Warrants were estimated using a simulation model.

 

The following table presents changes in Level 3 liabilities measured at fair value for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 (in thousands):

 

Balance - January 1, 2025  $41 
Fair value at issuance   2,908 
Change in fair value   (37)
Balance - March 31, 2025  $2,912 
Change in fair value   1,739 
Balance - June 30, 2025  $4,651 

Balance - January 1, 2026  $7,738 
Change in fair value   74 
Balance - March 31, 2026  $7,812 
Exercise of warrants   (43)
Change in fair value   (669)
Balance - June 30, 2026  $7,100 

 

Both observable and unobservable inputs were used to determine the fair value of warrants that the Company has classified within the Level 3 category. Unrealized gains and losses associated with liabilities within the Level 3 category include changes in fair value that were attributable to both observable (e.g., changes in market interest rates) and unobservable (e.g., changes in unobservable long-dated volatilities) inputs.
