8. WARRANT LIABILITY

 

On February 3, 2025, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “2025 Purchase Agreement”) with an institutional investor. In exchange for $8.0 million, the Holder agreed to purchase 383,349 shares of common stock (the “closing shares”) and warrants to purchase up to 383,349 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $23.55 per share (the “warrants”). On February 4, 2025, the 2025 Purchase Agreement closed for net proceeds of approximately $7.8 million, inclusive of all fees and expenses related to the transaction. The warrants are exercisable beginning August 4, 2025 and expire on August 4, 2030. There have been no exercises of warrants as of June 30, 2026.

 

The warrants are accounted for as a liability under ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity. Both the closing shares and the warrants are initially recorded on February 4, 2025 at their fair values of $9.0 million and $6.3 million, respectively. The warrant liability is subsequently remeasured and reported at fair value each reporting period, with the changes in fair value recorded as an unrealized gain or loss and recognized in earnings.

 

The fair value of warrants is as follows:

  

   June 30,   December 31, 
(in thousands)  2026   2025 
Warrant liability  $380   $1,875 
Total  $380   $1,875 

 

Unrealized gains and losses associated with warrants are as follows:

  

(in thousands)  2026   2025   2026   2025 
   Three Months Ended   Six Months Ended 
   June 30,   June 30, 
(in thousands)  2026   2025   2026   2025 
Unrealized gain on warrant liability  $891   $803   $1,495   $2,564 

 

Interest expense of $7.3 million representing the discount on the transaction was recorded on the condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2025.

 

 

The valuation inputs hierarchy classification for liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 (in thousands). See Note 6. Investment Securities, Available-For-Sale and Fair Value Measurements, for discussion of the fair value level hierarchy.
