Our stockholders approved a 112.5 million increase in the number of authorized shares of common stock. Accordingly, on May 11, 2020, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment of the Certificate

At Market-Issuance Sales Agreements

 

2020 Open Market Sale Agreement

 

On June 16, 2020, the Company entered into an Open Market Sale Agreement with Jefferies LLC (“Jefferies”), with respect to an at the market offering program under which the Company could offer and sell up to $75 million of shares of its common stock from time to time. Pursuant to the Open Market Sale Agreement, the Company paid Jefferies a commission equal to 3.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds it received from each sale of shares under the Open Market Sale Agreement. From the date of the Open Market Sale Agreement through October 31, 2020, 28.3 million shares were sold under the Open Market Sale Agreement at an average sales price of $2.55 per share, resulting in gross proceeds of $72.3 million, before deducting expenses and sales commissions. Commissions of $2.2 million were paid to Jefferies in connection with these sales, resulting in net proceeds to the Company of approximately $70.1 million.

 

2019 At Market Issuance Sales Agreement

 

On October 4, 2019, the Company entered into an At Market Issuance Sales Agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with B. Riley FBR, Inc. (“B. Riley FBR”) to create an at-the-market equity program under which the Company could offer and sell up to 38.0 million shares of its common stock through B. Riley FBR. However, to ensure that the Company had sufficient shares available for reservation and issuance upon exercise of all of the warrants to be issued to the lenders under the Orion Facility (as discussed in further detail below), the Company, effective as of October 31, 2019, reduced the number of shares reserved for future issuance and sale under the Sales Agreement from 27.9 million shares to 7.9 million shares (thus allowing for total aggregate issuances (past and future) of up to 18.0 million shares under the Sales Agreement) and reserved 20.0 million shares for issuance upon exercise of the warrants by the lenders under the Orion Facility. Under the Sales Agreement, B. Riley FBR was entitled to a commission in an amount equal to 3.0% of the gross proceeds from each sale of shares under the Sales Agreement.

 

During the year ended October 31, 2020, the Company issued and sold a total of 7.9 million shares of its common stock under the Sales Agreement at prevailing market prices, with an average sale price of $0.46 per share, and raised aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $3.6 million, before deducting expenses and commissions. Commissions of $0.1 million were paid to B. Riley FBR in connection with these sales, resulting in net proceeds to the Company of approximately $3.5 million.

 

During the year ended October 31, 2019, the Company sold a total of 10.1 million shares of its common stock at prevailing market prices under the Sales Agreement and received aggregate gross proceeds of $3.0 million and paid $0.1 million of fees and commissions, for net proceeds to the Company of $2.9 million.

 

The Company terminated the Sales Agreement in June 2020. As a result of the termination of the Sales Agreement, there have been and will be no further sales of the Company’s common stock thereunder.

 

2018 At Market Issuance Sales Agreement

 

On June 13, 2018, the Company entered into an At Market Issuance Sales Agreement (the “Previous Sales Agreement”) with B. Riley FBR, Inc. and Oppenheimer & Co. Inc. (together, the “Previous Agents”) to create an at-the-market equity program under which the Company could from time to time offer and sell shares of its common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $50.0 million through the Previous Agents. Under the Previous Sales Agreement, the Previous Agent making the sales was entitled to a commission in an amount equal to 3.0% of the gross proceeds from such sales.

 

During the year ended October 31, 2019, the Company sold 109.1 million shares of the Company’s common stock under the Previous Sales Agreement at prevailing market prices, at an average sale price of $0.39 per share and received aggregate gross proceeds of $42.0 million and paid $1.3 million of fees and commissions.

 

During the year ended October 31, 2018, the Company sold 0.5 million shares of the Company’s common stock under the Previous Sales Agreement, at prevailing market prices, at an average sale price of $16.72 per share and received aggregate gross proceeds of $8.0 million and paid $0.2 million of fees and commissions.

The Series C warrants have an exercise price of $19.20 per share and a term of five years. A total of 962 shares of common stock were issued during fiscal year 2018 upon the exercise of Series C warrants and the Company received total proceeds from such exercises of $0.02 million.

A total of 215,347 shares of common stock were issued during fiscal year 2018 upon the exercise of Series D warrants and the Company received total proceeds from such exercises of $3.3 million. The Series D warrants were all exercised prior to October 31, 2018.

 

July 2016 Public Offering and Related Warrants 

 

On July 12, 2016, the Company closed on a registered public offering. In conjunction with the offering, the Company issued 640,000 Series A Warrants with an exercise price of $69.96 per share.

 

On February 21, 2019, the Company entered into an Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with the holder of the Series A Warrants. Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, the Company issued to the holder of the Series A Warrants 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock in exchange for the transfer of the Series A Warrants back to the Company. Following the transfer of the Series A Warrants back to the Company, the Series A Warrants were cancelled and no further shares were issuable pursuant to the Series A Warrants. During fiscal year 2019, the Company recorded a charge to common stockholders for the difference between the fair value of the Series A Warrants prior to the modification of $0.3 million and the fair value of the common shares issuable at the date of the Exchange Agreement of $3.5 million.

Orion Warrants

In connection with the closing of the Orion Credit Agreement and the Initial Funding, on October 31, 2019, the Company issued warrants to the lenders under the Orion Credit Agreement to purchase up to a total of 6,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, at an exercise price of $0.310 per share (the “Initial Funding Warrants”). In

addition, under the Orion Credit Agreement, on the date of the Second Funding (November 22, 2019), the Company issued warrants to the lenders under the Orion Credit Agreement to purchase up to a total of 14,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, with an exercise price with respect to 8,000,000 of such shares of $0.242 per share and with an exercise price with respect to 6,000,000 of such shares of $0.620 per share (the “Second Funding Warrants”, and together with the Initial Funding Warrants, the “Orion Warrants”). All of the Orion Warrants were exercised during or subsequent to the year ended October 31, 2020 (refer to Note 25. “Subsequent Events” for more information on the exercise of the remaining Orion Warrants subsequent to October 31, 2020).

The Company accounted for the Initial Funding Warrants as a liability since there was a change of control provision in the Initial Funding Warrants regarding the composition of the board of directors and, as such, the Company could have been required to repurchase the Initial Funding Warrants upon such change in control and therefore equity classification was precluded. The Company accounted for the Second Funding Warrants under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”) since the Second Funding Warrants were considered contingent vesting warrants and therefore were considered to be an outstanding liability.  Since the probability of vesting for the Second Funding Warrants was deemed to be 100% as there was no vesting period in the warrants, there was no impact on the valuation. The Second Funding Warrants were accounted for as a liability since the Company might have been required to pay the holder under the same change of control provision as the Initial Funding Warrants and such event was outside the Company’s control and therefore equity classification was precluded.

As of October 31, 2019, the estimated fair value of the Orion Warrants was based on a Black-Scholes model using Level 2 inputs, including volatility of 96%, a risk free rate of 1.63%, the Company’s common stock price as of October 31, 2019 of $0.24 per share and the term of 8 years which resulted in a total value of $3.9 million.

On January 9, 2020, the lenders exercised, on a cashless basis, Orion Warrants (with cash exercise prices of $0.31 per share and $0.62 per share) representing the right to purchase, in the aggregate, 12,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. Because these warrants were exercised on a cashless basis pursuant to the formula set forth in the warrants, the lenders received 9,396,320 shares of the Company’s common stock in the aggregate upon the cashless exercise of Initial Funding Warrants representing the right to purchase 6,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and Second Funding Warrants representing the right to purchase 6,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The cashless exercise resulted in 2,603,680 shares no longer being required to be reserved for issuance upon exercise of the Orion Warrants.

The Orion Warrants that were converted on January 9, 2020 were remeasured to fair value immediately preceding the conversion based upon volatility of 103.7%, a risk free rate of 1.81% and the Company’s common stock price of $2.29, which resulted in a $23.7 million charge for the three months ended January 31, 2020. The estimated fair value of the converted warrants as of the date of conversion of $26.0 million was reclassified from Long-term debt and other liabilities to Common stock and Additional paid-in capital.

On October 6, 2020, the lenders exercised Orion Warrants (with an exercise price of $0.242 per share) to purchase a total of 5,300,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $1.3 million upon exercise, which was recorded to Common stock and Additional paid-in capital. The Orion Warrants were revalued immediately preceding the exercise based upon a volatility of 113.84%, a risk free rate of 0.55% and the Company’s common stock price of $1.92 per share which resulted in a gain of $2.4 million. The value of the converted warrants of $9.8 million was reclassified from Long-term debt and other liabilities to Common stock and Additional paid-in capital. Following this exercise and as of October 31, 2020, Orion Warrants to purchase 2,700,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, with an exercise price of $0.242 per share, were outstanding.

The Company remeasured the remaining Orion Warrants at October 31, 2020 based upon a volatility of 114.15%, a risk free rate of 0.64% and the Company’s common stock price of $2.00 per share, which resulted in a charge of $0.2 million.  The estimated fair value of the remaining Orion Warrants outstanding was $5.2 million as of October 31, 2020 and is classified as Long-term debt and other liabilities on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.
