Nonrecourse Promissory Note with Officer
In August 2020, the Company entered into a $0.4 million promissory note with an officer with the proceeds being used to exercise options for 1,469,366 shares of common stock at a price of $0.24 per share. The promissory note bore interest at the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate and was secured by the underlying shares of common stock that were issued upon the exercise of the stock options. The promissory note was treated as nonrecourse as the loan was only secured by the common stock issued from the exercise of the stock options. As such, (i) the underlying stock option grant was still considered to be outstanding and the shares of common stock were not considered issued and outstanding for accounting purposes until the loan was repaid in full or otherwise forgiven and (ii) no receivable was recorded for the promissory note on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. As such, the promissory note effectively extended the maturity date of the option grant for the life of the loan, this change is treated as a stock option modification. The incremental fair value from the stock option modification was deemed immaterial. The interest on this nonrecourse loan is also considered nonrecourse. As the Company has no intent to collect interest, no accrued interest was recorded.
In June 2021, the Company agreed to repurchase 43,665 shares of common stock valued at $8.05 per share of common stock held by the officer of the Company. In exchange for the repurchase of the common stock by the Company, the $0.4 million promissory note held by the officer was considered repaid in full.
