NOTE 8 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

 

Transactions:

 

A.

On February 26, 2026, the Company closed a private placement pursuant to the terms of a Securities Purchase Agreement with an accredited investor (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) for a private placement (the “Private Placement”) pursuant to which the investor (the “Purchaser”) agreed to purchase from the Company 400 units for an aggregate purchase price of $20,000 , or a per unit price of $50. Each unit consists of (i) one share (each a “Share” and collectively, the “Shares”) of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (pre-Reverse Stock Split) (the “Series B Preferred Stock”), and (ii) Common Warrants to purchase 35,211 (pre-Reverse Stock Split) shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (pre-Reverse Stock Split), representing 150% of the number of shares of Common Stock initially issuable upon conversion of one share of Series B Preferred Stock, subject to adjustment as described herein (the “Common Warrants” and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise or exchange of the Common Warrants, the “Warrant Shares”). The Private Placement is structured as a two stage investment. At the initial closing, which occurred on February 26, 2026, the Company sold 200 units for gross proceeds of $10 million. The Purchaser agreed to purchase an additional 200 units for an additional investment of $10 million following (i) the effectiveness of the registration statement described below, (ii) stockholder approval of the issuance of the transactions contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement as required pursuant to Nasdaq rules, (iii) the stock price is at least $1.00 (pre-Reverse Stock Split) and (iv) subject to the condition that the value of the trading in the Company’s stock on Nasdaq for the 10 consecutive days preceding the second closing is at or above $900  (the “Second Closing Market Trading Value”), provided that if the Second Closing Market Trading Value is less than $900 , then there will be a proportionate reduction in the number of units to be sold at the second closing.  

Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company is required to seek stockholder approval (the “Stockholder Approval”) related to the issuance of the units to be issued in the Private Placement. The Company is required to file a preliminary proxy statement for a special meeting of the Company’s stockholders within 75 days of the initial closing of the Private Placement. The Company’s directors and officers have agreed to execute voting agreements to vote in favor of the applicable proposals. If the Company does not obtain Stockholder Approval at the first such meeting, the Company is required to call a meeting every 4 months thereafter to seek Stockholder Approval until the earlier of the date on which Stockholder Approval is obtained or the securities are no longer outstanding.

 

The Company also granted the Purchaser a right of participation in subsequent financings of the Company for a period of time following closing, subject to certain exempt issuances, and has agreed not to issue securities for a period of time following the closing of the Private Placement, subject to certain exempt issuances, including issuances pursuant to strategic transactions.

 

Under the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed not to deliver any purchase notices under Company’s equity line of credit with the Purchaser until after the later of the date on which (i) the registration statement is declared effective and (ii) the Company obtains Stockholder Approval and even after such date, certain market conditions must be satisfied.

 

Series B Preferred Stock

 

Pursuant to the Certificate of Designations of Rights, Preferences and Limitations which was filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware prior to closing of the Private Placement, each share of Series B Preferred Stock has a stated value of $50,000 (the “Stated Value”) and will initially be convertible into 23,474 (pre-Reverse Stock Split) shares of Common Stock (the “Conversion Shares”) (or pre-funded warrants in lieu thereof (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”)), calculated by dividing the Stated Value by the initial conversion price equal to $2.13 per Share (pre-Reverse Stock Split) (the “Initial Conversion Price”). The Initial Conversion Price is subject to adjustment upon stock splits, distributions, reorganizations, reclassifications, change of control and the like, and is also subject to price-based anti-dilution adjustments for subsequent offerings made by the Company while the Series B Preferred Stock remains outstanding (subject to certain exempt issuances). The Initial Conversion Price will also be adjusted upon receipt of Stockholder Approval (as hereinafter defined), if obtained, to the lower of (i) the then applicable conversion price and (ii) the price per share of the Common Stock on its trading market upon the earlier of (A) effectiveness of the registration statement required to be filed pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement (as defined herein) or (B) upon applicability of Rule 144 as it relates to the sale of the Conversion Shares.

 

On June 24, 2026, at a special meeting of the shareholders of the Company, the shareholders approved, among other items, (i) the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock issued or issuable in connection with the Private Placement as required by Nasdaq Listing Rules 5635(d) and (ii) the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of certain restricted common stock purchase warrants issued or issuable to the Purchaser pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement for purposes of complying with the Nasdaq Listing Rules.

 

The Series B Preferred Stock is convertible at the option of the holder at any time and will be automatically converted into Common Stock or Pre-Funded Warrants in lieu thereof on the effective date of the registration statement, whether or not the Stockholder Approval has been obtained. If at any time after the one-year anniversary of the closing of the Private Placement, the Series B Preferred Stock is then outstanding and the Company has not received Stockholder Approval, the Series B Preferred Stock is redeemable at the option of the holder at a price per Share equal to 105% of the Stated Value. The conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock is subject to a 9.9% beneficial ownership limitation blocker. The Series B Preferred Stock is not entitled to receive dividends, other than on an as-converted basis if dividends are paid to holders of Common Stock.

The holders of Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to 10,000 votes per each share of Series B Preferred Stock. The holders of Series B Preferred Stock have voting rights with respect to certain corporate actions that affect the rights of the Series B Preferred Stockholders and also have certain consent rights in connection with certain proposed Fundamental Transactions (as defined in the Certificate of Designations). The Series B Preferred Stock is (i) senior to the Common Stock of the Company and any other equity securities that the Company may issue in the future, the terms of which specifically provide that such equity securities rank junior to the Series B Preferred Stock, (ii) equal with any class or series of capital stock established after the closing date of the Private Placement, the terms of which specifically provide that such equity securities rank on par with such Series B Preferred Stock, in each case with respect to payment of amounts upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up and (iii) junior to all of the Company’s existing and future indebtedness.

 

The Company has agreed not to issue any parity stock or senior securities without the written consent of a majority in interest of the Series B Preferred Stock. Upon a change of control, liquidation or winding up of the Company the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to a liquidation preference of $50,000 per Share.

 

Common Warrants 

 

The Common Warrants are exercisable on a cash or cashless basis at the earlier of (i) 180 days following their issuance and (ii) the date the stockholder approval is obtained, and expire 5 years from the date of issuance. Each Common Warrant will be initially exercisable for one share of Common Stock at an initial exercise price of $2.13 per share (pre-Reverse Stock Split), subject to adjustment for stock splits, distributions and the like (the “Initial Exercise Price”). The Initial Exercise Price is also subject to price-based anti-dilution adjustments for subsequent offerings made by the Company while the Common Warrants remain outstanding (subject to certain exempt issuances). At any time after the closing of the Private Placement, the holder of the Common Warrants may exchange the Common Warrants on a cashless basis for a number of shares of Common Stock determined by multiplying the total number of Warrant Shares with respect to which the Common Warrant is then being exercised by the Black Scholes Value (as defined in the Common Warrant) divided by the lower of the two closing bid prices of the Common Stock in the two days prior to the time of such exercise, but in any event not less than $0.01 (as may be adjusted for stock dividends, subdivisions, or combinations and the like). The exercise of the Common Warrants is subject to a 9.9% beneficial ownership limitation blocker.

 

In the event of a Fundamental Transaction (as defined in the Common Warrants), the holders of the Common Warrants will be entitled to receive upon exercise of the Common Warrants the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property that the holders would have received had they exercised the Common Warrants immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction. Additionally, as more fully described in the Common Warrants, the holders of the Common Warrants will be entitled to receive consideration in an amount equal to the Black Scholes value of the Common Warrant in connection with a Fundamental Transaction.

 

If the Company fails to timely deliver the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Common Warrants, the Company will be subject to liquidated damages, payable in the Company’s discretion in cash or shares on the Registration Date (as defined therein) or buy-in. If the Company elects to pay in shares, the number of shares due will be based on the LD Share Formula (as defined below).

Registration Rights Agreement

 

In connection with the Private Placement, on February 24, 2026, the Company and the Purchaser entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company is required to register the resale of the Conversion Shares (and any shares underlying the Pre-Funded Warrants, if any) and the Warrant Shares. The Company is required to prepare and file an initial registration statement (the “Initial Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission within 45 days of the date of the Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Filing Deadline”) and to use commercially reasonable efforts to have the Initial Registration Statement declared effective within 75 days of the date of the Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Effectiveness Deadline”). In certain circumstances including, but not limited to, if the Company misses the Filing Deadline or the Effectiveness Deadline, then the Company will be required to pay to the Purchasers an amount in shares or cash, at the Company’s discretion, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to the product of 1.5% multiplied by the aggregate purchase price paid by such Purchaser. Liquidated damages, if any, will accrue and be paid on the earlier of the effective date of a resale registration statement registering the sale of the shares that may be issued in lieu of cash or the date on which such shares can be sold pursuant to Rule 144 (the “Registration Date”). If the Company elects to pay liquidated damages in shares of Common Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable to the Purchaser will be determined by dividing the aggregate amount of accrued liquidated damages by the closing price of the Company’s Common Stock on the trading market of the Common Stock on the day immediately prior to the Registration Date (the “LD Share Formula”).

 

In connection with the Private Placement, the Company entered into a Placement Agency Agreement, dated February 24, 2026, with Dawson James Securities Inc. (the “Placement Agent”), pursuant to which the Placement Agent acted as the sole placement agent for the Private Placement. In consideration for the foregoing, the Company has agreed to pay customary placement fees to the Placement Agent, including a cash fee equal to 3.5% of the gross proceeds raised in the Private Placement and issue warrants equal to 7.5% of the securities placed in the Offering. Pursuant to the Placement Agency Agreement, the Company has also agreed to reimburse certain expenses of the Placement Agent incurred in connection with the Private Placement.

 

The Company analyzed the February 2026 Private Placement in accordance with ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. The Company determined that the Common Warrants do not meet the criteria for equity classification. Accordingly, the Common Warrants were accounted for as liability-classified instruments. The Common Warrants are initially recorded at fair value and are remeasured at fair value at each reporting date, with changes in fair value recognized in the consolidated statements of operations until settlement or expiration.

 

The Company, with the assistance of a third-party specialist, allocated the total proceeds received in the initial closing of the February 2026 Private Placement between the Common Warrant liability and the Series B Preferred Stock. Because the initial fair value of the Common Warrant liability exceeded the gross proceeds received, the entire $10.0 million of gross proceeds was allocated to the Common Warrant liability, the Series B Preferred Stock was initially recorded at zero, and the excess of approximately $15,429 thousand was recognized as financing expense upon initial recognition.

Warrant Shares liability

 

The fair value of the Common Warrant was calculated using the Monte Carlo Simulation Model. The assumptions used to perform the calculations are detailed below:

 

   February 24,
2026
   June 30,
2026
 
Expected volatility (%)   85.6%   92.4%
Risk-free interest rate (%)   3.61%   4.18%
Expected dividend yield   0.0%   0.0%
Expected term (years)   5    4.66 
Conversion price (U.S. dollars)   2.130    2.130 
Underlying share price (U.S. dollars)   2.130    0.171 
Fair value (U.S. dollars in thousands)   25,429    124,387 

 

Based on the above, the entire February 2026 Private Placement proceeds were allocated to the Common Warrants liability.

 

For the six and three months ended June 30, 2026, the Company recognized a loss from the change in fair value of the Common Warrant liability of approximately $98,958 thousand and $80,884 thousand, respectively, representing the increase in fair value from approximately $25,429 thousand at initial recognition to approximately $124,387 thousand as of June 30, 2026 and $43,503 thousand as of March 31, 2026.

 

On January 2, 2026, the Company issued 19,512 shares of common stock in connection with the conversion of previously issued Series B convertible preferred stock.

 

In addition, on January 2, 2026, the Company issued 585 shares of common stock to satisfy the penalty incurred from late effectiveness of the registration statement for the securities from September 2025 Private Placement. The fair value of the penalty shares was estimated at $300 and was included as other expenses in the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025.

 

B.On September 19, 2025, the Company and Esousa Company Holdings, LLC, a New York limited liability company (the “Investor”), entered into a common stock purchase agreement (the “ELOC Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, the Company may sell to the Investor, from time to time during the term of the ELOC Purchase Agreement, up to the lesser of (i) $250,000 of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Shares”), and (ii) the Exchange Cap (as defined below) (subject to certain exceptions provided in the ELOC Purchase Agreement) (the “Total Commitment”). Upon entering into the ELOC Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to issue to the Investor $1,250 worth of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Commitment Shares”), determined by the lower of (i) the VWAP on the effective date of the registration statement covering the Common Shares and the Commitment Shares and (ii) the closing sale price on the effective date of such registration statement; provided, however, that if the Company elects to terminate the ELOC Purchase Agreement, the Commitment Shares’ calculation shall be based on the date of termination rather than the effective date of the registration statement.

 

Additionally, on September 19, 2025, the Company and the Investor entered into a registration rights agreement (the “ELOC RRA”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to file a registration statement with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) covering the resale of Common Shares that are issued to the Investor under the ELOC Purchase Agreement, including the Commitment Shares.

On January 2, 2026, the Company issued 2,439 shares of common stock in connection with the Commitment Shares. The fair value of the Commitment shares was estimated at $1,250 and was included as other expense in the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025.

 

During the period from January 1, 2026 to February 4, 2026, the Company elected to sell to the Investor an aggregate of 6,945 shares of Common Stock for total proceeds of $2,208. In addition, during February 2026, the Company advanced the Investor 24,800 shares of Common Stock to be applied against future sales of the Company’s Common Stock under the ELOC Purchase Agreement. During the period from February 9, 2026 to February 19, 2026, the Company elected to sell to the Investor an aggregate of 5,512 shares of Common Stock from the advance shares, for total proceeds of $1,322.

 

Advance shares are not treated as completed sales on the date they were transferred to the Investor. Rather, the related share issuances and proceeds were recognized upon each drawdown, when the applicable purchase price was determined in accordance with the VWAP pricing provisions of the ELOC Purchase Agreement
