Convertible Debentures
 
On
June 26 2020,
we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with
two
institutional investors, pursuant to which we received gross proceeds of
$1,050,000
in exchange for the issuance of: (i)
5%
Original Issue Discount Senior Secured Convertible Debentures (the “Convertible Debentures”) in the aggregate principal amount of
$1,200,000;
and (ii)
five
-year warrants (the
“June 2020
Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate of
120,000
shares of our common stock at an exercise price of
$10.00
per share. Net proceeds after deducting the original issue discount, finder's fee and other debt issuance costs was
$888,500.
As a result of the public offering of our securities described in Note
10,
on
September 29, 2020
the exercise price of the
June 2020
Warrants was reduced to
$5.00.
The Convertible Debentures had an original maturity of
twelve
months, bore interest at a rate of
5%
per annum, and were secured by substantially all of the Company's assets until such time as they were paid or converted in full.
 
The Convertible Debentures were mandatorily convertible upon our consummation of a public offering of common stock with gross proceeds of
$6,000,000
or more, and which resulted in the listing of our common stock on a national securities exchange (a “Qualified Offering”). The conversion price upon the occurrence of a Qualified Offering was equal to the lower of (i)
$10.00
per share or (ii)
80%
of the offering price. The conversion provisions of the Convertible Debentures were subject to a “conversion blocker” such that each of the purchasers could
not
convert the Convertible Debentures to the extent that the conversion would result in the purchaser and its affiliates holding more than
4.99%
of our outstanding common stock.
 
On
September 29, 2020,
upon our consummation of the public offering discussed in Note
10,
the
$1,200,000
maturity value of the Convertible Debentures and
$14,667
of accrued interest were automatically converted at
$4.00,
the Qualified Offering discounted price, resulting in the issuance of
303,667
conversion units. Of the
303,668
conversion units: (a)
177,626
consist of
one
share of common stock and
a
warrant to purchase
one
share of common stock (a “Conversion Warrant”), and (b)
126,042
consist of
one
pre-funded warrant to purchase
one
share of common stock (a “Pre-Funded Warrant”) and
a
Conversion Warrant. The Pre-Funded Warrants provide the holder the right to purchase
one
share of Common Stock at an exercise price of
$0.01
per share, are immediately exercisable and will
not
expire until exercised in full. The Unit Warrants provide the holder the right to purchase
one
share of common stock, are immediately exercisable at an exercise price of
$5.00
per share and expire
five
years after the issuance date.
 
Upon the issuance of the Convertible Debentures, we recorded a debt discount of
$769,334,
including the
$150,000
original issue discount,
$457,834
of fair value allocated to the warrants (recorded as Additional Paid-in Capital), and
$161,500
of direct transaction costs incurred. The debt discount was amortized to interest expense over the
12
-month term of the Debentures using the effective interest rate method, up to the date of conversion. As a result of the mandatory conversion of the Convertible Debentures on
September 29, 2020,
the remaining unamortized debt discount (
$645,150
) was recorded as Additional Paid-in Capital in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. Interest expense associated with the Convertible Debentures was
$133,148
and
138,851
for the
three
-month and
nine
-month periods ended
September 30, 2020,
respectively, including of
$119,139
and
$124,184,
respectively, of debt discount amortization.
