Stockholders' Equity

Note 12 – Stockholders’ Equity

Capital Stock

Our authorized capital stock consists of 120,000,000 shares consisting of 79,999,997 shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share, two (2) shares of preferred stock, $0.01 par value per share (which have been redeemed in accordance with their terms and may not be reissued), one (1) share of special stock, $0.01 par value per share, and 40,000,000 shares of a new class of blank-check preferred stock, $0.01 par value per share. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were 43,387,563 shares and 43,024,424 shares of common stock issued, respectively, and 36,836,146 shares and 36,626,549 shares of common stock outstanding, respectively, with the difference being held in treasury stock.

Warrants

In December 2019, we entered into a Warrant Agreement (the “Warrant Agreement”) with the lender under our Corporate Credit Facility (see Note 7 – Loans Payable and Secured Line of Credit – Corporate Credit Facility) (the “Warrant Holder”) pursuant to which we issued ten-year warrants (the “Warrants”) to the Warrant Holder to purchase up to 7,179,000 shares of our common stock. On December 22, 2020, the Company entered into the Warrant Agreement Amendment, whereby the exercise price of the warrants issued in connection with the Corporate Credit Facility was amended to be $4.50 per share.  In connection with the October 2021 Private Placement, the exercise price of the warrants were further reduced to $4.31 per share (the “Exercise Price”), which is payable in cash or pursuant to a cashless exercise. The Warrant Agreement provides that we will not issue shares of common stock upon exercise of the Warrants if either (1) the Warrant Holder, together with its affiliates, would beneficially hold 5% or more of the shares of common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise, or (2) such exercise would result in the issuance of more than 19.9% of the shares of issued and outstanding common stock as of the date of the Warrant Agreement, prior to giving effect to the issuance of the Warrants, and such issuance would require shareholder approval under the NYSE American LLC listing requirements.  The Warrant Agreement provides for certain adjustments to the Exercise Price and/or the number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise pursuant to customary anti-dilution provisions. Upon a change of control of the Company, the Warrants will be automatically converted into the right to receive the difference between the consideration the Warrant Holder would have received if it exercised the Warrants immediately prior to the change of control and the aggregate Exercise Price, payable at the election of the Warrant Holder in the consideration payable in the change of control or, if such consideration is other than cash, in cash. The Warrants were valued at approximately $1.5 million and $1.1 million at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.  The $369,000 unrealized gain and $2.0 million unrealized loss from the change in fair value of the Warrants during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, was recorded in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.

In connection with the issuance of the Warrants, we also entered into a registration rights agreement with the Warrant Holder, pursuant to which we agreed to register for resale the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), and a letter agreement with the Warrant Holder (the “Letter Agreement”) pursuant to which we agreed to provide (i) certain information rights, (ii) the right to appoint one member of the board of directors of the Company, or in lieu thereof a board observer, and (iii) certain preemptive rights for a period of five years

following the exercise of any of the Warrants so long as the Warrant Holder continues to hold shares of common stock. With respect to the board appointment right, the Letter Agreement includes a similar right as the Corporate Credit Facility described in Note 7 – Loans Payable and Secured Line of Credit, so long as the Warrant Holder together with its affiliates beneficially holds at least 5% of the outstanding common stock of the Company, assuming the exercise of all outstanding Warrants; provided that the Warrant Holder does not have such appointment right at any time a Designee or observer may be appointed pursuant to the terms of the Corporate Credit Facility.

At-The-Market Equity Offering Program

In August 2021, we entered into an “at-the-market” equity offering program (the “ATM Program”), to sell up to an aggregate of $10.0 million in shares of our common stock.

We sold no shares of our common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2022.  During the year ended December 31, 2021, we sold 701,327 shares of our common stock for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $1.4 million (excluding approximately $169,000 in professional and brokerage fees) at a weighted average price of $1.95 per share. As of March 31, 2022, approximately $8.6 million of our common stock remained available for issuance under the ATM Program.

Share Repurchase Program

In December 2019, our Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program under which we can purchase up to $5.0 million of shares of our common stock, which is now subject to the terms of our Corporate Credit Facility. Repurchases under the stock repurchase program may be made through open market or privately negotiated transactions at times and on such terms and in such amounts as management deems appropriate, subject to market conditions, regulatory requirements and other factors. The program does not obligate the Company to repurchase any particular amount of common stock, and may be suspended or discontinued at any time without notice.

Since inception of the stock repurchase program through March 31, 2022, the Company has repurchased 250,197 shares of common stock for approximately $483,361, or an average price per share of $1.93. As of March 31, 2022, approximately $4.5 million of shares remained available for purchase under the stock repurchase program, subject to the terms of our Corporate Credit Facility.  There was no stock repurchase activity by the Company or any “affiliated purchaser” of the Company, as defined in Rule 10b-18(a)(3) under the Exchange Act, during the three months ended March 31, 2022 or the year ended December 31, 2021.

Preferred Stock

We are authorized to issue two shares of preferred stock (one share each of Series A and Series B preferred stock, each of which was automatically redeemed in 2016 and may not be reissued), one share of special stock and 40,000,000 shares of blank-check preferred stock. The share of special stock was issued and sold to Third Avenue Trust, on behalf of Third Avenue Real Estate Value Fund ("Third Avenue"), and enables Third Avenue or its affiliated designee to elect one member of the Board of Directors.
