In February 2015 we entered into a multiple advance term loan agreement and related agreements with MHW SPV II, LLC (‘‘MHW’’), an entity affiliated with the Chairman of our Board of Directors, for a loan in the maximum amount of $2 million. We borrowed $945,000 under the terms of this loan agreement on February 3, 2015 and executed a promissory note to evidence this loan and the terms of repayment which required interest only payments until maturity.

 

In July 2017, we amended and restated the terms of this multiple advance term loan agreement whereby we increased the maximum principal amount of loans to $2.5 million for up to sixty days, and $2 million thereafter. The term of the loan was modified to be five years from the date of modification, thereby extending the term of the $945,000 loan to July 19, 2022. As part of this modification, the interest rate on the $945,000 loan remained at a fixed annual rate of 12%, however it was changed so that 6% was paid in cash monthly in arrears, and 6% was payable in kind, to be evidenced by additional promissory notes having an aggregate principal amount equal to the accrued but unpaid interest.

 

 

In conjunction with entering into the loan agreement with MHW, the Company and MHW also entered into a warrant agreement granting MHW the right to purchase up to 1,115,827 shares of the Company’s common stock. As part of the July 2017 modification, we also modified the warrant to change the exercise price of the shares and to extend the term of the warrant to July 19, 2022. The warrant is now exercisable for a period of five years from July 19, 2017 at an exercise price of $0.10 for the first 390,539 shares, $0.20 for the next 390,539 shares and $0.30 for the final 334,749 shares. The exercise price and number of shares of common stock issuable on exercise of the warrant was subject to adjustment in the event of any stock split, reverse stock split, recapitalization, reorganization or similar transaction. The fair value of the modified warrant was determined to be approximately $167,000 and the incremental value of the warrant compared to the original warrant was approximately $6,000. This amount was added to the remaining unamortized value of the original warrant such that approximately $93,000 was amortized to interest expense using the straight-line method (which approximated the effective interest rate method) over the term of the loan. Amortization expense of approximately $9,000 and $19,000 was recorded during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, for this warrant.

 

On July 19, 2017, we also borrowed an additional $650,000 from MHW Partners, an entity affiliated with MHW. This loan ranked parri-passu with the $945,000 promissory notes held by MHW and was subject to the same loan agreement. Similar to the notes held by MHW, this note issued to MHW Partners bore interest at 12% per annum payable in cash monthly in arrears at a rate of 6% per annum and payable in kind at a fixed rate of 6% per annum and had a maturity date of July 19, 2022.

 

In conjunction with entering into the loan with MHW Partners, we entered into a warrant granting MHW Partners the right to purchase up to 767,500 shares of our common stock. The warrant was exercisable for a period of 5 years from July 19, 2017, at an exercise price of $0.10 for the first 268,625 shares, $0.20 for the next 268,625 shares and $0.30 for the final 230,250 shares. The exercise price and number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of this warrant were subject to adjustment in the event of any stock split, reverse stock split, recapitalization, reorganization or similar transactions. The fair value of the warrant granted was approximately $115,000. Using the relative-fair value allocation method, the debt proceeds were allocated between the debt value and the fair value of the warrants, resulting in a recognition of a discount on the loan of approximately $98,000 and a corresponding increase to additional paid-in capital. This discount was amortized using the straight-line method (which approximated the effective interest rate method) over the term of the loan. Approximately $10,000 and $20,000 was amortized during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

 

Peter H. Woodward, the Chairman of our Board of Directors, is a principal of MHW Capital Management LLC, which is the investment manager of MHW and MHW Partners. MHW Capital Management LLC was entitled to a performance-related fee tied to any appreciation in the valuation of the common stock in excess of the applicable strike price under the warrants.

 

On October 6, 2017, we entered into an amendment to our multiple advance term loan agreement and the related security agreement with MHW and MHW Partners, to add new lenders to the loan and security agreements. Upon execution, Mr. Glen Ikeda and Mr. Andrew Berg became new lenders to the Company. In accordance with the terms of the Amendment, Mr. Ikeda then provided a loan in the amount of $300,000 and Mr. Berg provided a loan in the amount of $100,000 (collectively the “New Loans”).

 

The New Loans had a maturity date of July 19, 2022. The New Loans did not bear interest and we were permitted to make optional prepayments at any time without premium or penalty, provided that if we prepay the outstanding principal amount of a New Loan prior to the second anniversary of the date of the applicable note, then the total amount of such prepayment will not exceed 95% of the total principal amount of the applicable note and any remaining principal amount under the note shall be fully and finally cancelled, extinguished, forgiven and terminated without further action of any party.

 

Concurrent with the New Loans, we entered into a warrant with Mr. Ikeda granting Mr. Ikeda the right to purchase up to 954,231 shares of our common stock. This warrant is exercisable until July 19, 2022, at an exercise price of $0.10 for the first 498,981 shares, $0.20 for the next 273,981 shares and $0.30 for the final 181,269 shares. The exercise price and number of shares of common stock issuable on exercise of this warrant will be subject to adjustment in the event of any stock split, reverse stock split, recapitalization, reorganization or similar transaction. Mr. Ikeda exercised the warrant in December 2018.

 

Concurrent with the New Loans, we entered into a warrant with Mr. Berg granting Mr. Berg the right to purchase up to 318,077 shares of our common stock. This warrant is exercisable until July 19, 2022, at an exercise price of $0.10 for the first 166,327 shares, $0.20 for the next 91,327 shares and $0.30 for the final 60,423 shares. The exercise price and number of shares of common stock issuable on exercise of this warrant will be subject to adjustment in the event of any stock split, reverse stock split, recapitalization, reorganization or similar transaction. Mr. Berg exercised the warrant in December 2018.

 

The fair value of the two warrants granted in connection with the New Loans was approximately $367,000. Using the relative fair-value allocation method, the debt proceeds were allocated between the debt value and the fair value of the warrants, resulting in a recognition of a discount on the new loans of approximately $191,000, with a corresponding increase to additional paid-in capital. This discount was amortized to interest expense over the term of the loan using the straight-line method (which approximates the effective interest rate method). Approximately $40,000 was amortized during the year ended December 31, 2021.

 

In June 2021 both Mr. Berg and Mr. Ikeda agreed to give the Company a 12% discount if the Company satisfied its indebtedness obligations under the New Loans on or prior to June 23, 2021. On June 23, 2021, the Company paid $88,000 to Mr. Berg and $264,000 to Mr. Ikeda in full satisfaction of all outstanding indebtedness under the New Loans. The remaining unamortized discount of $46,000 and remaining unamortized loan issuance costs of approximately $2,000 were expensed at this time, resulting in a loss of extinguishment of debt of $470 which was included in Interest expense, net, in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations during the three-month period ended June 30, 2021.

 

 

On July 1, 2022, we repaid in full the remaining amounts outstanding under multiple advance term loan agreements with MHW SPV II, LLC and MHW Partners L.P, including the accrued interest-in-kind outstanding on the loans. The outstanding amounts due under such loans were payable on or before July 19, 2022. Under their terms, the Company was permitted to prepay such loans without penalty.

 

On July 19, 2022, MHW and MHW Partners exercised their outstanding warrants and purchased 1,883,326 shares of common stock of the Company. The warrants were granted in connection with the multiple advance term loan agreements with MHW SPV II, LLC and MHW Partners, LP. The Company received approximately $367,000 from the aggregate exercise price of the warrants.
