Note 4 - Convertible Debenture and Warrant

 

Convertible Debenture at Fair Value

 

The Company accounts for convertible debentures using the fair value method. The discount for warrants, the Original Issuance Discount (“OID”) and the initial allocation of fair value of compound derivatives reduce the initial carrying amount of the convertible notes. The carrying value is the stated principal amount at contractual maturity using the effective-interest method with a corresponding charge to interest expense. Debt discounts are presented on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that related debt.

 

The Company made an irrevocable election at the time of issuance of the Debenture to record the Debenture at its fair value (the “Fair Value Option”) with changes in fair value recorded through the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations within other income (expense) at each reporting period. The Fair Value Option provides the Company with a measurement basis election for financial instruments on an instrument-by-instrument basis.

 

On February 14, 2023, the Company entered into the Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) with Alpha, a current shareholder of the Company, pursuant to which the Company issued to Alpha an 8% Interest Rate, 10% Original Issue Discount, Senior Convertible Debenture (the “Debenture”) in the aggregate principal amount of $4,400,000 for a purchase price of $4,000,000 on February 15, 2023. The Debenture is convertible, at any time, and from time to time, at Alpha’s option, into shares of Common Stock of the Company (the “Conversion Shares”), at an initial conversion price equal to $84.00 per share, subject to adjustment as described in the debenture agreement. A registration statement on Form S-1 (File No.: 333-271396) was filed with the SEC on April 21, 2023, and as a result, the reset price was set to $50.13

 

 

Pursuant to Section 8(a)(vi) of the Debenture, it is an event of default if the Company is party to a Fundamental Transaction or agrees to sell or dispose of all or in excess of 33% of its assets in one transaction or a series of related transactions. On January 19, 2024, SharpLink and Alpha entered into a settlement agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) whereby Alpha agreed to waive (i) the event of default under Section 8(a)(vi) of the Debenture in connection with the Sale of Business; and (ii) payment of the Mandatory Default Amount; and the parties agreed that the Company would pay 110% of the outstanding principal amount of the Debenture, plus accrued and unpaid interest, in the aggregate total amount of $4,484,230 (the “Debenture Redemption Amount”).

 

On January 19, 2024, the Company paid Alpha the Debenture Redemption Amount. As a result, the Company’s obligations under the Debenture have been satisfied.

 

Purchase Warrant

 

On February 15, 2023, the Company also issued to Alpha a warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase 73,333 common shares of the Company at an initial exercise price of $105.01 (the “Warrant Shares,” and, together with the Conversion Shares, and any other common shares of the Company that may otherwise become issuable pursuant to the terms of the Debenture and Warrant, the “Underlying Shares”). The Warrant is exercisable in whole or in part, at any time on or after February 15, 2023 and before February 15, 2028.

 

At the time of execution, the Company classified the Warrant as an equity contract and performed an initial fair value measurement. As the Warrant was issued with the assumption of the Debenture, the value assigned to the Warrant was based on an allocation of proceeds, subject to the allocation to the Debenture. The Company recorded a debt discount for the Warrant of $1,174,229, based on the Black Scholes option-pricing model which was calculated independently of the fair value of the Debenture, and recorded the Warrant as additional paid-in capital.

 

The Warrant provided that in the event of a Fundamental Transaction (as defined in the Debenture), SharpLink, at Alpha’s option, would repurchase the Warrant from Alpha on the terms set forth in Section 3(e)(ii) of the 2023 Warrant (the “Warrant Repurchase”). On January 19, 2024, SharpLink and Alpha entered into a settlement agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) whereby Alpha agreed to waive (i) the event of default under Section 3(e)(ii) of the Warrant in connection with the Sale of Business.

 

Pursuant to Section 5(1) of the Warrant, Alpha further agreed to waive its right to elect that, in connection with and at the closing of the Sale of Business, the Warrant shall be repurchased by the Company as set forth in Section 3(e) of the 2023 Warrant. The parties agreed in the Settlement Agreement that the Warrant Repurchase for its Black Scholes value shall take place upon the earlier of (a) June 30, 2024; (b) the Company raising a gross amount of not less than $3,000,000 whether by equity or debt; and (c) the Company entering into a Fundamental Transaction as defined in the 2023 Warrant. The parties further agreed in the Settlement Agreement value of the 2023 Warrant for purposes of the Warrant Repurchase at $900,000, which was based on a Black Scholes model.

 

On March 6, 2024, SharpLink entered into an Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with Alpha to change the Warrant Repurchase of $900,000. Pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the Exchange Agreement, the Company agreed to exchange the 2023 Warrant to purchase 73,333 shares of common stock for (i) 13,017 shares of Common Stock (the “Shares”), (ii) a pre-funded warrant in the amount of 39,130 shares of Common Stock (the “Pre-Funded Warrant”) and (iii) the unexchanged balance of the 2023 Warrant Repurchase (the “Warrant Repurchase Balance”). The Warrant Repurchase Balance of 21,186 warrants was valued at $170,636 and shall be subject to the repurchase terms set forth in the Settlement Agreement. The Pre-Funded Warrant and the Warrant Repurchase Balance were valued using Black Scholes option-pricing model. As part of this transaction, the Company recorded a deemed dividend of $44,619 as presented in the statement of stockholders’ equity for the six months ended June 30 , 2024.

 

The fair value of the Warrant Repurchase balance and the Pre-Funded Warrant are estimated on the following dates using the Black Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:

 

   January 19,
2024
   March 6,
2024
   March 31,
2024
   June 30,
2024
 
Expected volatility   112.98%   90.90%   87.36%   88.06%
Expected dividends   0.00%   0.00%   0.00%   0.00%
Expected term (years)   4.08    3.92    3.90    3.63 
Risk-free rate   3.75%   4.12%   4.21%   4.33%

 

On June 30, 2024, SharpLink negotiated an Amendment to the Exchange Agreement (the “Amendment”) to reduce the strike price per warrant of the unexchanged balance of the 2023 Warrants Repurchase Balance from $48.85 to $0.0012 and to remove the re-purchase option.
