In August 2020, the Company issued 25,028 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series C Preferred Stock”) in three separate closings of a private placement (Series C-1, C-2, and C-3). Each share of Series C Preferred Stock was issued at a purchase price of $1,000 per share and is convertible into shares of common stock based on the respective conversion prices which were determined at the closing of each round of the private placement. The conversion prices for the Series C-1 Preferred Stock, Series C-2 Preferred Stock, and the Series C-3 Preferred Stock are $58.00, $60.70, and $57.50, respectively. Subject to ownership limitations, the owners of the Series C-1 Preferred Stock, the Series C-2 Preferred Stock, and the Series C-3 Preferred Stock are entitled to receive dividends, payable in shares of common stock at a rate of 10%, 15%, 20% and 25%, respectively, of the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock, on the 12th, 24th, 36th and 48th month, anniversary of the initial closing of the private placement. The Company paid the 12th, 24th, 36th, and 48th month anniversary dividends of 10%, 15%, 20%, and 25% common stock dividends on August 19, 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024, respectively.

The Series C Preferred Stock dividends do not require declaration by the board of directors and are accrued annually as of the date the dividend is earned in an amount equal to the fair value of the Company’s common stock on the dates the respective dividends are paid. The fair value of the Series C Preferred Stock dividend paid on August 19, 2023, was determined by multiplying the dividends paid of 49 shares of common stock by the Company’s closing share price on August 19, 2023, of $3.53 per share for a total fair value of $173. Any outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock were automatically converted to shares of common stock on August 19, 2024 (Note 13). In addition, as part of the Series C Preferred financing, the Company issued warrants to the placement agent (“Series C Agent Warrants”), which expired on August 19, 2024.

 

The Series C Preferred Stock shall with respect to distributions of assets and rights upon the occurrence of a liquidation, rank (i) senior to the Company’s common stock and (ii) senior to any other class or series of capital stock of the Company hereafter created which does not expressly rank pari passu with, or senior to, the Series C Preferred Stock. The Series C Preferred Stock is pari passu in liquidation to the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock. The liquidation value of the Series C Preferred Stock at June 30, 2024, is the stated value of $9,973 (June 30, 2023 - $10,366).

Series A Preferred Stock

 

Effective September 30, 2014, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation of Series A Preferred Stock (the “Series A Certificate of Designation”) with the Secretary of State of Nevada. Pursuant to the Series A Certificate of Designation, the Company designated 279 shares of preferred stock as Series A Preferred Stock. The shares of Series A Preferred Stock have a stated value of $1.00 per share (the “Series A Stated Value”) and are not convertible into common stock. The holder of the Series A Preferred Stock is entitled to dividends at the rate of 3% of the Series A Stated Value per year, payable quarterly in arrears. Upon any liquidation of the Company, the holder of the Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to be paid, out of any assets of the Company available for distribution to stockholders, the Series A Stated Value of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by such holder, plus any accrued but unpaid dividends thereon, prior to any payments being made with respect to the common stock. The Series A Preferred Stock is held by Valent (note 5).

 

The Series A Preferred Stock shall with respect to distributions of assets and rights upon the occurrence of a liquidation, rank (i) senior to the Company’s common stock, and (ii) senior to any other class or series of capital stock of the Company hereafter created which does not expressly rank pari passu with, or senior to, the Series A Preferred Stock. The Series A Preferred Stock is pari passu in liquidation to the Company’s Series C Preferred Stock. The liquidation value of the Series A Preferred stock at June 30, 2024, is its stated value of $279 (June 30, 2023 - $279).

 

There was no change to the Series A Preferred stock for the years ended June 30, 2024, or 2023.

 

Common stock

 

Amended articles of incorporation

 

On June 30, 2023, the Company amended its articles of incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from 5,500 to 75,000 shares.

 

Stock issuances

 

Year ended June 30, 2024

 

On September 19, 2023, the Company entered into a Sales Agreement, (the “Sales Agreement”) with A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners (the “Agent”) pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell, from time to time, through the Agent, as sales agent and/or principal, shares of common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $2,850 (the “ATM Facility”), subsequently increased to $10,900 on December 18, 2023. From October 31, 2023, until June 30, 2024, the Company raised $10,471 in net proceeds, after deducting share issuance costs of $435, from the sale of 53,151 shares of its common stock at a weighted average price of $0.21 per share under the ATM Facility. On February 22, 2024, the Company determined that it had concluded utilization of the ATM Facility.

 

Sales of the shares of common stock made under the ATM Facility may be made in negotiated transactions, or by any method permitted by law that is deemed to be an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), including sales made directly on The Nasdaq Capital Market or sales made to or through a market maker other than on an exchange. Pursuant to the Sales Agreement, the Company has the right, in its sole discretion, to present the Agent with a placement notice directing the Agent to purchase a number of shares of common stock under the ATM Facility, subject to the terms and conditions of the Sales Agreement. The purchase price per share under the ATM Facility will be based on market prices of the common stock on the applicable purchase date for such purchases. The Agent is entitled to a commission rate of 3.0% of the gross sales price per share sold under the Sales Agreement.

 

During the year ended June 30, 2024, the Company sold 400 shares of common stock at a weighted average price of $0.23 per share for total net proceeds of approximately $105 under the Purchase Agreement with Lincoln Park (as defined below).

 

During the year ended June 30, 2024, the Company issued 4 shares of common stock on vesting of restricted stock units during the period. On February 22, 2024, the Company determined that it had concluded utilization of the equity facility pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement with Lincoln Park.

 

Year ended June 30, 2023

 

On August 2, 2022, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement, dated as of August 2, 2022, (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC (“Lincoln Park”), pursuant to which Lincoln Park committed to purchase up to a maximum of $20,000 of shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Purchase Shares”). Concurrently with entering into the Purchase Agreement, the Company also entered into a registration rights agreement with Lincoln Park, pursuant to which it agreed to take certain actions relating to the registration of the offer and sale of the Purchase Shares available for issuance under the Purchase Agreement. Upon execution of the Purchase Agreement, the Company issued 33 shares of common stock to Lincoln Park as a commitment fee in connection with entering into the Purchase Agreement.

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company has the right, in its sole discretion, to present Lincoln Park with a purchase notice directing Lincoln Park to purchase up to 10 Purchase Shares provided that the closing sale price of the common stock on the purchase date is not below a threshold price set forth in the Purchase Agreement (a “Regular Purchase”). The Company and Lincoln Park may mutually agree to increase the Regular Purchase amount with respect to any Regular Purchase under the Purchase Agreement, provided that Lincoln Park’s maximum committed purchase obligation under any single Regular Purchase shall not exceed $2,000. The purchase price per share for each Regular Purchase is based on prevailing market prices of the common stock immediately preceding the time of sale as computed in accordance with the terms set forth in the Purchase Agreement. There are no upper limits on the price per share that Lincoln Park must pay for the Purchase Shares under the Purchase Agreement.

If the Company directs Lincoln Park to purchase the maximum number of shares of common stock that the Company may sell in a Regular Purchase, then in addition to such Regular Purchase, and subject to certain conditions and limitations in the Purchase Agreement, the Company may direct Lincoln Park to purchase additional shares of common stock in an “accelerated purchase” (each, an “Accelerated Purchase”) and an “additional accelerated purchase” (each, an “Additional Accelerated Purchase”) (including multiple Additional Accelerated Purchases on the same trading day) as provided in the Purchase Agreement. The purchase price per share for each Accelerated Purchase and Additional Accelerated Purchase will be based on market prices of the common stock on the applicable purchase date for such Accelerated Purchases and such Additional Accelerated Purchases.

The aggregate number of shares that the Company can issue or sell to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement may in no case exceed 262 shares of the common stock (which is equal to approximately 19.99% of the shares of the common stock outstanding immediately prior to the execution of the Purchase Agreement) (the “Exchange Cap”), unless (i) stockholder approval is obtained to issue Purchase Shares above the Exchange Cap, in which case the Exchange Cap will no longer apply, or (ii) the average price of all applicable sales of our common stock to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement equals or exceeds $10.12 per share (which represents the lower of (A) the official closing price of the Company’s common stock on Nasdaq on the trading day immediately preceding the date of the Purchase Agreement and (B) the average official closing price of the Company’s common stock on Nasdaq for the five consecutive trading days ending on the trading day on the date of the Purchase Agreement, adjusted such that the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement are exempt from the Exchange Cap limitation under applicable Nasdaq rules). The Purchase Agreement may be terminated by the Company at any time, at its sole discretion, without any cost or penalty, by giving one business day notice to Lincoln Park to terminate the Purchase Agreement.

During the year ended June 30, 2023, the Company sold 229 shares of common stock for total net proceeds of approximately $1,903 under the Purchase Agreement. As of June 30, 2024, the sales made under the Purchase Agreement are the maximum amounts available due to ownership limitations under Nasdaq rules.

 

Shares issued for services

 

During the year ended June 30, 2023, the Company issued 16 shares of common stock for services for a total value of $110.

 

2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan

 

As subsequently approved by the Company’s stockholders at an annual meeting of stockholders, on April 11, 2018, the Company’s board of directors approved the adoption of the Company’s 2017 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan”), as amended. The board of directors also approved a form of Performance Stock Unit Award Agreement to be used in connection with grants of performance stock units (“PSUs”) as well as a Restricted Stock Unit ("RSU") award under the 2017 Plan. As approved by the Company’s stockholders on June 21, 2022, the number of common shares available under the 2017 Plan as of June 30, 2024, is 440 shares, less the number of shares of common stock issued under the Del Mar (BC) 2013 Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan (the “Legacy Plan”), or that are subject to grants of stock options made, or that may be made, under the Legacy Plan, or that have been previously exercised.
