Warrants to acquire shares of common stock consist of warrants that may be settled in cash, which are liability-classified warrants, and equity-classified warrants. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, a total of 501,000 of the Galena February 2017 liability-classified warrants to purchase shares of common stock were canceled under various warrant exchange agreements. The Company issued 54,613 shares of its common stock in exchange for the surrender and cancellation of warrants to acquire 121,667 shares of its common stock and $0.9 million in convertible promissory notes in exchange for the surrender and cancellation of warrants to acquire 379,333 shares of its common stock, as described in Note 7. The fair value of the common stock and promissory notes exchanged totaled $1.2 million, which exceeded the fair value of the warrant liability of the warrants canceled by $0.7 million and is recorded as loss on settlement of liability-classified warrants in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2018.

Warrants Classified as Liabilities

Liability-classified warrants consist of warrants to acquire common stock issued in connection with previous equity financings for the Series A Convertible Preferred, Galena's February 2017 financing, and various other Galena equity financings that were assumed by the Company at the consummation of the Merger. These warrants may be settled in cash and were determined to not be indexed to the Company’s common stock.

The initial exercise price of the warrants to acquire shares of common stock in connection with the Series A Convertible Preferred is $5.80 per share of common stock, subject to standard adjustments for certain transactions affecting the Company’s securities (such as stock dividends, stock splits, and the like). From the original issue date until the one year anniversary of a Qualified Offering, the initial exercise price and number of warrants to acquire shares of common stock are subject to anti-dilution protection in the event of non-exempt equity issuances at a price per share lower than the initial exercise price ("Base Share Price"). simultaneously with the consummation of each non-exempt equity issuance the exercise price shall be reduced to equal the Base Share Price and the number of warrants to acquire shares of common stock issuable shall be increased such that the aggregate exercise price payable, after taking into account the decrease in the exercise price, shall be equal to the aggregate exercise price prior to such adjustment, provided that no adjustment to the number of warrant to purchase shares of common stock issuable shall be made, as a result of (i) a Qualified Offering or (ii) any Dilutive Issuance that occurs after the consummation of a Qualified Offering. Such adjustment shall be made whenever such common stock or common stock equivalents are issued.

The estimated fair value of outstanding warrants accounted for as liabilities is determined at each balance sheet date. Any decrease or increase in the estimated fair value of the warrant liability since the most recent balance sheet date is recorded in the condensed consolidated statement of operations as change in fair value of warrant liability. The fair value of the warrants is estimated using a Black-Scholes pricing model with the following inputs:

The expected volatility assumptions are based on the Company's implied volatility in combination with the implied volatilities of similar publicly traded entities. The expected life assumption is based on the remaining contractual terms of the warrants. The risk-free rate is based on the zero coupon rates in effect at the time of valuation. The dividend yield used in the pricing model is zero, because the Company has no present intention to pay cash dividends.
