8. Stockholders’ Equity

 

Common Stock

 

On June 21, 2019, the Company filed a Certificate of Change to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of Nevada to effect the Reverse Stock Split. The Reverse Stock Split was effective at 12:01 a.m., eastern Time, on June 25, 2019. No fractional shares were issued as a result of the Reverse Stock Split and any remaining share fractions were rounded up to the nearest whole share, resulting in 1,442 new shares of common stock being issued to existing holders of the Company’s common stock.

 

On June 19, 2019, shareholders of the Company voted to approve an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation to increase the authorized shares of common stock to 150,000,000 shares on a pre-Reverse Stock Split basis (the “Authorized Share Increase.”) On June 24, 2019, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of the State of Nevada to effect the Authorized Share Increase as of June 25, 2019. As a result of the Authorized Share Increase and after giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split, the Company had 12,500,000 authorized shares of common stock.

 

As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, the number of outstanding shares of our common stock held by non-affiliates was approximately 475,000. On June 28, 2019, the Company received a notice from the Nasdaq Capital Market ("NASDAQ") that it no longer met the minimum 500,000 publicly held shares requirement for continued listing. On July 19, 2019, the Company received a notice from NASDAQ that the Company had regained compliance with the publicly held shares requirement as a result of the Offering.

 

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) 86,667 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share and (ii) prefunded warrants to purchase 42,417 shares of common stock. The prefunded warrants were exercisable beginning on March 7, 2019 at an exercise price of $0.012 per share. The shares were sold at a price of $24.00 per share and the prefunded warrants were sold at a price of $23.988 per prefunded warrant, which represents the per share purchase price for the shares less the $0.012 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 $27.00 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 $22.80 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. In June 2019, the prefunded warrants were exercised in full resulting in $509 of net proceeds to the Company.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2018, the holders of approximately 316,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock converted such shares into approximately 26,000 shares of common stock and exercised warrants to purchase approximately 31,000 shares of common stock.

 

Series B Preferred Stock

 

As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 there were approximately 1.8 million shares of Series B Preferred Stock issued and outstanding which were convertible on a six preferred shares to one share of common stock basis. The March 2019 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 six months ended June 30, 2019. There were no Series B Preferred Stock conversions during the six months ended June 30, 2019. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, the holders of Series B Preferred Stock converted approximately 316,000 shares into approximately 26,000 shares of common stock.

 

Subsequent to the quarter ended June 30, 2019, the Offering triggered the down-round provision in the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock, resulting in a further adjustment to the conversion ratio to 1.625 preferred shares to one share of common stock. The number of shares of Common Stock that, when aggregated with any shares of Common Stock that may be issued in connection with any conversion of Series B Preferred Stock and the exercise of warrants issued in connection with the Series B Preferred Stock, is subject to an Issuable Maximum, subject to adjustment, as set forth in the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Designation of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock. As of June 30, 2019, the Issuable Maximum is 0.6 million shares of Common Stock that can be issued upon the conversion of the currently outstanding Series B Preferred Stock and the exercise of warrants, issued in connection with the Series B Preferred Stock, that are currently outstanding.

 

Warrants

 

On June 24, 2019, the Company, in connection with the Reverse Stock Split, entered into a consent agreement with certain holders of warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock whose consent was required to effect the Reverse Stock Split. In consideration of the holders’ consent, the Company agreed to issue the holders warrants (the “Consent Warrants”) to purchase 8,335 shares of the Company’s common stock, at an exercise price per share based on a volume weighted average price for the five trading days following the effectiveness of the Reverse Stock Split. The Consent Warrants were issued on July 3, 2019 at an exercise price of $10.63.

 

In March 2019, in connection with its registered direct offering, the Company offered to the purchasers (i) prefunded warrants to purchase 42,417 shares of common stock. The prefunded warrants were exercisable beginning on March 7, 2019 at an exercise price of $0.012 per share. The prefunded warrants were sold at a price of $23.988 per prefunded warrant, which represents the per share purchase price for the shares less the $0.012 per share exercise price for each such prefunded warrant. The holders of the prefunded warrants did 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. All of these prefunded warrants were exercised in June 2019 resulting in net proceeds to the Company of $509. 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 (129,084 shares) purchased in the offering. These warrants have an exercise price of $27.00 per share, are exercisable beginning on September 8, 2019 and expire seven years from such date.

 

In addition to the prefunded and purchase warrants issued in the March 2019 registered direct offering, the Company has outstanding warrants to purchase an aggregate of 262,690 shares of common stock in connection with debt and equity financing arrangements as of June 30, 2019 at a weighted average exercise price of $51.97 and expiration dates ranging from July 2020 through November 2021. Excluding the issuance of the prefunded and purchase warrants issued in the March 2019 registered direct offering and subsequent exercise of the prefunded warrants, there were no debt and equity financing warrants granted or exercised during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, debt and equity financing warrants to purchase approximately 31,000 shares of common stock were exercised resulting in approximately $1.5 million of net proceeds to the Company.
