11. Preferred Stock and Equity Offerings

 

Preferred Stock

 

The board of directors (the “Board”) of the Company is authorized to issue, from time-to-time, up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series. The Board is authorized to fix the rights and designation of each series, including dividend rights and rates, conversion rights, voting rights, redemption terms and prices, liquidation preferences and the number of shares of each series. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, there were no issued and outstanding shares of preferred stock.

 

Public Equity Offerings

 

During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company closed on various equity offerings and a warrant issuance raising net proceeds of $29.9 million. The details are as follows:

 

  On January 6, 2017, the Company completed the First Registered Direct Offering to sell 630,000 shares of its common stock at a price of $6.81 per share to certain institutional investors, which resulted in gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $4.3 million.
     
  On January 25, 2017, the Company completed the Second Registered Direct Offering to sell 855,000 shares of its common stock and a concurrent private placement of warrants to purchase 855,000 shares of its common stock, or the Warrants, to the same investors participating in the Second Registered Direct Offering. The Warrants and the shares of the Company’s common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants were not registered under the Securities Act and were sold pursuant to the exemption provided in Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act and Rule 506(b) of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. The shares of common stock sold in the Second Registered Direct Offering and the Warrants issued in the concurrent Private Placement were issued separately but sold together at a combined purchase price of $4.69 per share of common stock and accompanying Warrant. The Second Registered Direct Offering and the Private Placement together resulted in gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $4 million. The Company also used approximately $1.0 million to satisfy the severance obligations due to five former senior executives. See Note 10, Commitments and Contingencies. The fair value of these warrants issued was determined using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model and amounted to $1.67 million and are recorded within stockholders’ equity. The following table sets forth the assumptions used in the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model to estimate the fair value of the warrants upon issuance:

 

 

Market Price   $ 4.33  
Exercise Price   $ 4.69  
Risk-free interest rate     1.95 %
Expected volatility     124.02 %
Expected life in years     5.0  
Expected dividend yield     0.00 %

 

  On February 8, 2017, the Company completed a Confidentially Marketed Public Offering (CMPO) to sell 1,200,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $3.00 per share. In addition, we granted the underwriters an option to purchase up to an additional 9% of the total number of shares of common stock sold by us in the CMPO, solely for the purpose of covering over-allotments, if any. The underwriters exercised the over-allotment option in full. The CMPO resulted in gross proceeds to us of approximately $3.9 million.

 

On March 22, 2017, the Company entered into a Termination Agreement with the RedPath Equityholder Representative. Under the terms of the Termination Agreement, RedPath Equityholder Representative agreed to terminate all royalty and milestone rights under the contingent consideration agreement. In exchange for terminating the royalty and milestone rights of RedPath, the Company agreed to issue to the RedPath Equityholder Representative 5 year warrants to acquire an aggregate of 100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a fixed price of $4.69 per share. The fair value of the warrants issued was determined using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model and amounted to $0.19 million and is recorded within stockholders’ equity. The following table sets forth the assumptions used in the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model to estimate the fair value of the warrants upon issuance:

 

Market Price   $ 2.37  
Exercise Price   $ 4.69  
Risk-free interest rate     1.95 %
Expected volatility     125.58 %
Expected life in years     5.5  
Expected dividend yield     0.00 %

 

As part of our acquisition of RedPath Integrated Pathology, Inc. in 2014, we issued the RedPath Note. In December 2016 we repaid $1.33 million in principal of the RedPath Note resulting in an outstanding balance of $9.34 million. The RedPath Note was subsequently acquired by an Investor for $8.87 million plus the fair value of the warrants noted above amounting to $0.5 million on March 22, 2017. Also, on that date, we and the Investor exchanged the RedPath Note for a senior secured convertible note in the aggregate principal amount of $5.32 million and a senior secured non-convertible note in the aggregate principal amount of $3.55 million. On April 18, 2017, we and the Investor exchanged the senior secured non-convertible note for $3.55 million of our senior secured convertible note. Between March 23, 2017 and April 18, 2017, the senior secured convertible notes were converted in full for 3,795,429 shares of our common stock. In connection with the conversion of the Exchanged Convertible Note, the Company recorded a loss of $4.3 million. We no longer have any outstanding secured debt, and any security interests and liens related to our former secured debt were released and/or terminated upon the completion of applicable filings.

 

On June 16, 2017, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Maxim as the representative of several underwriters (the “Underwriters”) named therein with respect to the issuance and sale of an aggregate of (i) 9,900,000 shares (“Firm Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, (ii) Base Warrants to purchase 12,500,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price equal to $1.25 per share, and (iii) Pre-Funded Warrants to purchase 2,600,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price equal to $0.01 per share in the Offering pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement. Each Firm Share and accompanying Base Warrant was sold for a combined effective price of $1.10, and each Pre-Funded Warrant and accompanying Base Warrant was sold for a combined effective price of $1.09. The Underwriters were entitled to receive an underwriting discount equal to 7.5% of the offer price of the aggregate number of Firm Shares and Pre-Funded Warrants sold in the Offering and Over-Allotment and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of $0.1 million. The Company also granted the Underwriters a 45-day option to purchase up to an additional 1,875,000 Firm Shares and/or 1,875,000 Base Warrants to cover over-allotments, if any (the “Overallotment Warrants”). Additionally, the Company agreed to issue to the Underwriters warrants (the “Underwriter Warrant”) to purchase a number of Firm Shares of common stock equal to an aggregate of 4% of the total number of shares of common stock, Pre-Funded Warrants, and base warrants to cover overallotments sold in the Offering.

 

The Company offered to each purchaser whose purchase of shares of common stock in this Offering would otherwise result in the purchaser, together with its affiliates and certain related parties, beneficially owning more than 4.99% of our outstanding common stock immediately following the consummation of this Offering, the opportunity to purchase, if the purchaser so chooses, Pre-Funded Warrants, in lieu of shares of common stock that would otherwise result in the purchaser’s beneficial ownership exceeding 4.99% of our outstanding common stock. Subject to limited exceptions, a holder of Pre-Funded Warrants could not have the right to exercise any portion of its Pre-Funded Warrants if the holder, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (or, at the election of the holder, 9.99%) of the number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise. Each Pre-Funded Warrant was exercisable for one share of our common stock. The Offering also related to the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of any Pre-Funded Warrants sold in the Offering. Each Pre-Funded Warrant was sold together with a common warrant with the same terms as the common warrant described above. The common warrants were exercisable immediately and will expire five years after the date of issuance, or June 22, 2022. The shares of common stock and Pre-Funded Warrants could only be purchased with the accompanying common warrants, but were issued separately, and were immediately separable upon issuance.

 

On June 21, 2017, the Company successfully closed its Offering, See Note 3, Liquidity. A public trading market for the Base Warrants was established on July 5, 2017 on the OTC market under the trading symbol IDGGW. As part of the offering the Underwriters purchased the full over-allotment of 1,875,000 Base Warrants available to them for the specified $.01 per warrant, which are not exercisable for six months after the Offering. The full 2,600,000 of Pre-Funded Warrants were also sold on at the price of $1.09 per warrant. The combined gross proceeds of the Offering totaled $13.7 million with approximately $12.3 million of net funds available to the Company after deducting underwriting discounts and other stock issuance expenses.

 

In summary, the Company issued 9,900,000 shares of common stock as well as Base Warrants, Overallotment Warrants, Pre-Funded Warrants and Underwriters Warrants to purchase 12,500,000, 1,875,000, 2,600,000 and 575,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, respectively. The Pre-Funded and Underwriters Warrants were classified as liabilities because in certain circumstances they could require cash settlement. The Base and Overallotment Warrants are recorded within stockholders’ equity. The Base Warrants are traded on the OTC market; however trading volume has been insufficient to determine fair value. The fair value at the date of issuance of the Base and Overallotment Warrants was determined using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model and amounted to $5.3 million and $0.8 million, respectively.

 

The following table sets forth the assumptions used in the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model to estimate the fair value of the Base Warrants and Overallotment Warrants upon issuance:

 

Market Price   $ 0.87  
Exercise Price   $ 1.25  
Risk-free interest rate     1.75 %
Expected volatility     134.21 %
Expected life in years     5.0  
Expected dividend yield     0.00 %

 

As of July 7, 2017, all of the 2,600,000 Pre-Funded Warrants were exercised for $.01 per warrant exercise price and all 2,600,000 common shares related to the warrants have been issued for $26,000. The corresponding fair value of the warrants as of the date of exercise was $2.3 million and said amount was reclassified from liabilities to additional paid in capital upon exercise. On July 31, the Underwriters exercised their right to purchase 875,000 Firm Shares for $0.960 million net of $0.072 million in underwriter discounts, or $0.882 million.

 

On July 5, 2017, the Company entered into an agreement for investor relations services. In consideration for these services, the Company paid a fee for services incurred and agreed to issue a warrant expiring in August 2020, exercisable into 150,000 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $1.25.

 

The warrant issuance is considered a share-based payment award issued to a nonemployee in exchange for services and falls within the scope of ASC 505-50. The fair value of the warrant was determined to be $0.2 million and was fully expensed during the quarter ended September 30, 2017.

 

The following table sets forth the assumptions used in the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model to estimate the fair value of the share- based warrant upon issuance:

 

Market Price   $ 1.62  
Exercise Price   $ 1.25  
Risk-free interest rate     1.66 %
Expected volatility     172.29 %
Expected life in years     3.1  
Expected dividend yield        

 

On October 12, 2017 the Company entered into an agreement with certain holders of Base Warrants to exercise 4 million Base Warrants at the exercise price of $1.25 in exchange for the issuance of 3.2 million additional private placement warrants with an exercise price of $1.80, resulting in gross proceeds to the Company of $5.0 million. The new warrants may not be exercised for six months from the issue date and expire in five and one-half years from their issuance date. As a result of this transaction, the Company recorded a $2.0 million charge within Other (expense) income, net within the consolidated statement of operations as such transaction was deemed to be an inducement to the existing warrant holders. The following table sets forth the assumptions used in the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model to estimate the fair value of the share- based warrant upon issuance:

 

Market Price   $ 1.57  
Exercise Price   $ 1.80  
Risk-free interest rate     1.88 %
Expected volatility     55.50 %
Expected life in years     4.5  
Expected dividend yield        

 

Additionally, approximately 1.7 million base warrants were exercised during 2017, which totaled approximately $2.1 million in gross proceeds.
