Common Stock

 

On March 5, 2019, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with certain purchasers pursuant to which the Company offered to the purchasers, in a registered direct offering, an aggregate of (i) 1,040,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share and (ii) prefunded warrants to purchase 509,000 shares of common stock. The prefunded warrants were exercisable beginning on March 7, 2019 at an exercise price of $0.001 per share. The shares were sold at a price of $2.00 per share and the prefunded warrants were sold at a price of $1.999 per prefunded warrant, which represents the per share purchase price for the shares less the $0.001 per share exercise price for each such prefunded warrant. The holders of the prefunded warrants will not have the right to exercise any portion of the prefunded warrant if the holder (together with its affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 9.99% of the number of shares of our common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the prefunded warrants. The net proceeds to the Company from this offering were approximately $2.7 million, after deducting expenses related to the offering, including dealer-manager fees and expenses. In a concurrent private placement, the Company issued to the purchasers a warrant to purchase one share of the Company’s common stock for each share and prefunded warrant purchased in the offering. These warrants have an exercise price of $2.25 per share, are exercisable beginning on September 8, 2019 and expire seven years from such date. The Company evaluated the terms of the warrants issued and determined that they should be classified as equity instruments. The grant date fair value of these warrants was estimated to be $1.90 per share, for a total of approximately $2.9 million. The fair value of the warrants was estimated using a Black-Scholes model utilizing the following key valuation assumptions: the Company’s stock price, a risk free rate of 2.56%, an expected life of 7.5 years and an expected volatility of 111.3%. The prefunded warrants had an intrinsic value of approximately $1.1 million.

 

Series B Preferred Stock

 

As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 there were approximately 1.8 million shares of Series B Preferred Stock issued and outstanding which are convertible into common stock on a two-for-one basis. The registered direct offering triggered the down-round provision in the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock resulting in an adjustment to the conversion ratio and the recording of a deemed dividend of $3.9 million increasing the net loss attributable to common shareholders for the three months ended March 31, 2019. There were no Series B Preferred Stock conversions during the three months ended March 31, 2019.

 

Warrants

 

In addition to the warrants issued in the registered direct offering, the Company has outstanding warrants to purchase an aggregate of 3,152,225 shares of common stock issued in connection with debt and equity financing arrangements as of March 31, 2019 at a weighted average exercise price of $4.30 and expiration dates ranging from July 2020 through November 2021.

 

No warrants were exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and no warrants were granted or exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2018, respectively.
