Financing Transaction
In February 2016 in exchange for aggregate proceeds of $15 million, the Company sold and issued to Boyalife Investment Inc. and Boyalife (Hong Kong Limited) (i) 735,294 shares of common stock at a purchase price of $3.40 per share (the “Stock Price”) for gross proceeds of $2.5 million, (ii) Secured Convertible Debentures for $12.5 million (the “Debentures”) convertible into 3,676,471 shares of common stock and (iii) warrants to purchase 3,529,412 additional shares of common stock at an exercise price of $8.00 per share for a period of five years. The amount of warrants was based on 80% coverage of the shares issued or to be issued for the equity transaction in (i) and the debt transaction in (ii) above. The warrants are exercisable on August 13, 2016. Total issue costs of $220 were allocated proportionately between the debt and equity proceeds, $183 and $37, respectively.
 
The Debentures will be due in three years or February 13, 2019 and bear simple interest at a rate per annum of 22% of the principal amount outstanding. The Debentures may not be prepaid prior to maturity without the prior consent of the investor. Additionally, the Company’s obligations under the Debentures are secured by a first priority, senior lien over all of the Company’s assets. In accordance with the terms of the nomination and voting agreement entered into in connection with the financing, Dr. Xiaochun Xu, Chairman and CEO of Boyalife Group and Chairman of Boyalife Investment Inc. and Boyalife (Hong Kong Limited), was appointed to the Board of Directors of the Company in March 2016.
 
All outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest (as well as all interest that would have accrued after the conversion and up to and including maturity in the event conversion occurs prior to maturity) under the Debentures will be convertible into the Company’s common stock at the Stock Price per share at the option of the investor at maturity or prior to maturity if (i) for 15 days upon and after the time that the Company’s cash balance and short-term investments, net of short term debt, are less than $2.1 million, (ii) the Company effects certain changes in control, or (iii) the Company’s common stock is delisted from Nasdaq’s markets. All outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest under the Debentures will also be convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at the Stock Price per share at the option of the Company at any time prior to maturity, provided that (i) the 20-day simple moving average price of the Company’s common stock on the date of conversion is at least 125% of the Stock Price and (ii) the volume weighted average trading price of the Company’s common stock has been greater than the Stock Price for ten consecutive days.
 
The warrants were classified as an equity instrument. Accordingly, the Company valued the warrants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: closing stock price on the measurement date of $4.00; warrant term of five years based on contractual term of the warrant; expected volatility based on historical volatility of 91% and discount rate based on the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with equivalent terms of 1.2%.
 
For financial reporting purposes, the net proceeds from the debt of $12,319 was allocated first to the relative fair value of the warrants, amounting to $4,434, then to the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature on the Debentures of $6,824, resulting in an initial carrying value of the Debentures of $1,061. The initial debt discount on the Debentures totaled $11,258 and is being amortized over the three year life of the Debentures.
 
During the year ended June 30, 2016, the Company amortized $1,407 of the debt discount, $23 of the debt issue costs and accrued $1,031 in interest expense.
 
In August 2016, the Company converted the Debentures to common stock. See subsequent events footnote 12.
 
Thirty-Year Debenture Restructuring Transaction 
On August 31, 2015, the Company sold senior secured convertible debentures in a financing to raise up to $15,000 (“Thirty-Year Debentures”), Series A warrants to purchase up to 1,102,942 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price equal to $13.60 per share for a period of five and one-half years (“Series A warrants”) and Series B warrants to purchase up to 606,618 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price equal to $13.60 per share for a period of eighteen months (“Series B warrants”). At the initial closing on August 31, 2015, the Company received gross proceeds of $5,500 and 404,412 Series A warrants vested and 222,427 Series B warrants vested. The second closing for up to an additional $9,500 was dependent on a number of items including receipt by the Company of approval from the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (“CIRM”) for a grant in the amount of $10,000, to support the Company’s pivotal trial for CLIRST III. The Company applied for the CIRM grant in August 2015. The Company withdrew its application for the CIRM grant.
 
For financial reporting purposes, the net proceeds of $4,720 was allocated first to the residual fair value of the Series A warrants, amounting to $3,385, then to the residual fair value of the obligation to issue the Series B warrants of $897, the remaining value to the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature on the Thirty-Year Debentures of $438, resulting in an initial carrying value of the Thirty-Year Debentures of $0. The initial debt discount on the Thirty-Year Debentures totaled $4,720 and was amortized over the 30 year life of the convertible debentures.
 
The Company entered into a registration rights agreement pursuant to which the Company agreed to register all of the shares of common stock then issued and issuable upon conversion in full of the Thirty-Year Debentures and all warrant shares issuable upon exercise of the Series A warrants and Series B warrants. The holders were entitled to receive liquidated damages upon the occurrence of a number of events relating to filing, getting an effective and maintaining an effective registration statement, including the failure of the Company to have such registration statement declared effective by October 26, 2015. As the Company did not file an effective registration statement until November 24, 2015 and the Company was precluded by the SEC from registering all of the registrable securities on a single registration statement, management considered it probable that five months of liquidated damages would be due and accrued $1,100 during the year ended June 30, 2016. Management made one liquidated damages payment of $220 during the three months ended December 31, 2015.
 
In connection with the February 2016 financing transaction described above, the Company concurrently entered into a Consent, Repayment and Release Agreement, pursuant to which the Company repaid the Thirty-Year Debentures and all related interest and liquidated damages. Upon the Company’s payment of $7.5 million, the Thirty-Year Debentures were deemed repaid in full and cancelled, all liquidated damages due and payable were deemed paid and satisfied in full, the registration rights agreement was terminated and the exercise price of the Series A warrants was changed from $13.60 to $8.00. The Company recomputed the fair value of the Series A warrants before and after the modification using the Binomial option pricing model with the following assumptions: expected volatility of 91%, discount rate of 1.2%, contractual term of 5 years and dividend rate of 0%. The loss on modification of $149 was recorded in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
 
Pursuant to the terms of the Consent Repayment and Release Agreement, the holders of the Series B warrants made a single, one-time cashless exercise of Series B warrants for 125,000 shares of common stock. The Company recomputed the fair value of the Series B warrants using the Binomial option pricing model with the assumptions listed in Note 6 for February 16, 2016. All remaining Series B warrants valued at $159 were cancelled.
 
This restructuring transaction occurred on February 16, 2016 and the Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $795 during the year ended June 30, 2016. The loss on extinguishment was calculated as follows:
 
 
Payment
  $ 7,500  
Repayment of Thirty-Year debentures
    (5,500 )
Payment of accrued liquidated damages and interest
    (897 )
Loss on modification of Series A warrants
    (149 )
Cancellation of Series B derivative obligation
    (159 )
Loss on extinguishment of debt
  $ 795  
 
At the time of the repayment, the remaining debt discount of $4,648 and debt issue costs of $765 were fully amortized. For the year ended June 30, 2016, the Company amortized $4,720 of debt discount and $777 of debt issue costs.
 
Beneficial Conversion Features
The beneficial conversion feature value was calculated as the difference resulting from subtracting the effective conversion price from the market price of the common stock on the issuance date, multiplied by the number of common shares into which the initial funding of the Debentures or Thirty-Year Debentures are convertible. The Company believes that the investor’s ability to resell the common shares resulting from the conversion option is severely limited. As such, the Company did not consider the beneficial conversion feature to be an embedded derivative.
