Series A Convertible Preferred Offering
From November 10, 2021 through November 17, 2021, the Company conducted a private placement offering (the “Private Placement”) pursuant to securities purchase agreements with 7 accredited investors (the “Series A Investors”), whereby the Series A Investors purchased from the Company an aggregate of 1,545,459 shares of the Company’s newly created Series A Convertible Preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) and warrants to purchase 1,545,459 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Preferred Warrants”) for an aggregate purchase price of $8.5 million. The Private Placement was completed and closed to further investment on November 17, 2021.
The Series A Preferred Stock ranks senior to common stock with respect to the payment of dividends and liquidation rights. Each holder of Series A Preferred Stock is entitled to receive, with respect to each share of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding and held by such holder, dividends at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum (the “Preferred Dividends.”) The Company is obligated to pay the Preferred Dividends quarterly, in arrears, within fifteen (15) days of the end of each quarter. The Company has the option to pay the Preferred Dividends in cash or in common stock, at a price per share of common stock equal to the average of the closing sale price of the common stock for the five (5) trading days preceding the applicable dividend payment date. The Preferred Dividends are accrued monthly, but not compounded, and are recorded as interest expense, because the Preferred Dividends are mandatory and not declared at the discretion of the Board of Directors.
The number of shares of the Company’s common stock issuable upon conversion of any share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be determined by dividing (x) the Conversion Amount of such share of Series A Preferred Stock by (y) the Conversion Price. “Conversion Amount” means, with respect to each share of Series A Preferred Stock, as of the applicable date of determination, the sum of (1) the stated value thereof plus (2) any accrued dividends. “Conversion Price” means, with respect to each share of Series A Preferred Stock, as of any optional conversion date, Mandatory Conversion Date or other date of determination, $5.50, subject to adjustment for stock splits, dividends, recapitalizations and similar corporate events.
The Preferred Warrants were -year warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $7.00 per share, subject to adjustment, were exercisable at any time on or after the date that was six months following the issuance date, and provided for cashless exercise in the event the underlying shares of the Company’s common stock are not registered. As of December 31, 2023, all of the Preferred Warrants had expired unexercised.
In connection with the Purchase Agreement, the Company and the Series A Investors entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to file a registration statement to register the shares of the Company’s common stock underlying the Series A Preferred Stock and warrants within 180 days. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Series A Investors received certain rights, including but not limited to piggyback registration rights, providing that the holder be given notice of any proposed registration of securities by the Company, and requiring that the Company register all or any portion of the registrable securities that the holders request to be registered, in each case, subject to the terms and conditions of the Registration Rights Agreement.
On April 27, 2022 the Company filed a Resale Form S-3 as required by the Registration Rights Agreement. The Resale Form S-3 went effective on June 2, 2022.
On June 13, 2022, one of the Series A Investors, Falcon Capital Partners, converted 45,455 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred stock into 47,728 shares of the Company’s common stock.
On February 9, 2023, one of the Series A Investors, Greenfield Children, LLC, converted 10,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred stock plus accrued dividends into 11,096 shares of the Company’s common stock.
On March 19, 2024, the Company entered into a Redemption and Waiver Agreement (the “Redemption Agreement”) with the current holders (the “Series A Holders”) of its Series A Preferred Stock. Accordingly, $8.125 million of additional paid in capital was reclassified from shareholders’ equity to mezzanine equity (the “Mezzanine Equity”) on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2024, in accordance with Accounting Series Release No. 268, Presentation in Financial Statements of "Redeemable Preferred Stocks". The Mezzanine Equity is valued at the date of the Private Placement issuance. Pursuant to the Redemption Agreement, the Company agreed to redeem all outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock for an aggregate cash purchase price of $8,195,000, or $5.50 per share, at its sole discretion, in 18 monthly payments (each a “Monthly Redemption Threshold” payment), which may be accelerated at the Company’s sole discretion. In addition, the Series A Holders agreed to waive (the “Waivers”), on a month-by-month basis following each monthly payment, certain rights granted to them in (i) the Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation (the “Preferred Stock COD”), including for the accrual and payment of accrued and future dividends; and (ii) the Preferred Stock Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Preferred Stock SPA”). In the event the Company opts to not make a Monthly Redemption Threshold payment, the Waivers are forfeited and the terms revert to those detailed in the Preferred Stock COD and Preferred Stock SPA. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had redeemed 82,783 shares of Series A Preferred Stock for a cumulative redemption amount of $455 thousand in cash paid to the Series A Holders. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were 1,407,221 and 1,490,004 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, respectively, issued and outstanding.
Authorized Classes of Stock
As of March 31, 2024, the Board has authorized two classes of preferred stock. The Board has authorized 1,550,000 shares of preferred stock as the Series A Preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of which 1,407,221 and 1,490,004 shares are issued and outstanding at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The Board has also authorized 3,079,864 shares of preferred stock as the Series B Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of which are issued and outstanding as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
At-the-Market-Facility
For the period ended March 31, 2024, the Company sold 13,602,940 shares of the Company’s common stock through its At-The-Market (“ATM”) facility, managed by Ascendiant Capital Markets, LLC, at an average price of $0.92. The Company received net proceeds of $12.2 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company sold 3,021,632 shares at an average price of $2.17 and received net proceeds of $6.4 million.
Warrants
The table below summarizes the warrants outstanding at March 31, 2024 (in thousands, except exercise price data):
In connection with a restricted stock units offering in June 2020, the Company issued warrants in August 2020 to purchase 171,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, at an exercise price of $2.00. Those warrants are exercisable for five years from the date of issuance.
In connection with the offering of Series A Preferred Stock in November 2021, the Company issued warrants to purchase 1,545,459 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $7.00. Those warrants were exercisable for two years from the date of issuance and have now expired.
In connection with the QPhoton Merger on June 16, 2022, the Company issued 6.3 million warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.0001. Those warrants are exercisable when and if stock options and warrants issued by the Company and outstanding as of June 15, 2022 (the “Underlying Options”) are exercised. As of March 31, 2024, none of the QPhoton Warrants linked to the outstanding Underlying Options are expected to be exercised as the exercise prices of the Underlying Options are above the closing stock price as of March 31, 2024. The 6.3 million issued warrants represent a portion of the 7.0 million warrants included in the Merger Consideration, having been received by two QPhoton shareholders. A third alleged shareholder rejected the Merger Consideration and commenced litigation in DE Chancery Court (see Part II, Item 1, Legal Proceedings, for additional information), and to date that litigation has not been resolved and the 702,834 warrants have not been issued.
Accordingly, as of March 31, 2024 and 2023, we had only issued 6.3 million of the QPhoton Warrants, of which approximately 56% have been forfeited as of March 31, 2024, because the corresponding Underlying Options had expired or forfeited. Further, as discussed in Note 2, Significant Accounting Policies – Fair Value of Financial Instruments, the QPhoton Warrants issued on June 16, 2022, are considered Level 3 liabilities for fair value measurement on the valuation hierarchy. Accordingly, the Company recognized mark-to-market gains of $353 thousand during the three months ended March 31, 2023, with an ending balance of $175 thousand as of March 31, 2023. As of March 31, 2024, the QPhoton Warrants have no carrying value as a liability on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet and there was no mark-to-market adjustment recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2024. |
