Series B Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock

 

On September 28, 2021, the Company sold to an institutional investor (the “Investor”), 3,300 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, stated value $1,000 per share, currently convertible into 385,965 shares of common stock, and a warrant to purchase up to 192,982 shares of common stock (“Investor Warrant”), for an aggregate purchase price of $3,000,000 (“Consideration”). The Company received net proceeds of approximately $1,260,000 on September 28, 2021, and the balance of approximately $1,365,000 on November 4, 2021, following completion of an amendment to the certificate of incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock and redeem the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock, as required by the Investor.

 

The Series B Preferred Stock has an annual dividend of 8% and has an initial common stock conversion price of $8.55. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment in various circumstances, including stock splits, stock dividends, pro rata distributions, fundamental transactions and upon a triggering event and subject to reset if the common stock of the Company sold in any subsequent equity transaction, including a qualified offering, is sold at a price below the then conversion price.

 

The Series B Preferred Stock is mandatorily convertible on the third anniversary of its issuance. All conversions of the Series B Preferred Stock are subject to a blocker provision of 4.99%.

 

The Company will reserve 200% of the number of shares of common stock into which the Series B Preferred Stock and Investor Warrant may be converted or exercised.

 

The Series B Preferred Stock is redeemable at the demand by the holders, at 120% of the stated value of $1,000, at any time after the earlier of (x) the consummation by the Company of a qualified offering, or (y) the first anniversary of the issuance of the Series B Preferred Shares.

 

The Investor was granted a right of participation in future private offerings and has agreed to a 180-day lock-up in connection with a qualified offering. A “qualified offering” is the first public offering after the sale of the Series B Preferred Stock in which the common stock of the Company is listed on a national exchange.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statement

 

The Investor Warrant may be exercised until September 28, 2024, at an initial exercise price of $9.45, subject to adjustment. The Investor Warrant provides for cashless exercise if the underlying shares of common stock are not registered for resale, and all issuances of common stock upon exercise are subject to a 4.99% blocker provision.

 

The Company granted the Investor registration rights for the shares of common stock underlying the Series B Preferred Stock and the Investor Warrants. The Company must file a registration statement no later than 180 days after the date of a qualified offering and have it effective in 45 days if there is no Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) review, or if there is a review, within 75 days. The Company must keep the registration statement effective until all the shares registered have been sold or may be sold under Rule 144, without regard to volume and holding period restrictions.

 

The Company engaged ThinkEquity LLC (“ThinkEquity”) as its placement agent and paid a total cash fee of 9%, or $270,000, and its expenses, less prepaid expenses, and issued to ThinkEquity and its designees warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 34,737 shares of common stock. The exercise price of the warrant initially will be $10.40 per share, subject to typical adjustment provisions, and exercisable for a term of three years. The warrant has registration rights.

 

Probability of Redemption: As it was considered probable the Series B Preferred stock will become redeemable outside of the Company’s control, the Series B Preferred stock needs to be disclosed as temporary equity and restated at the balance sheet date at its redemption value of 120% the stated value of $1,000 per share, or $3,960,000. As a result, the Company has adjusted the carrying value of the Series B Preferred Stock to its redemption value of $3,960,000 and recorded a $2,262,847 non-cash redemption value adjustment. This redemption value adjustment is treated as similar to a dividend on the preferred stock for GAAP purposes; accordingly, the redemption value adjustment is therefore added to the “Net Loss” to arrive at “Net Loss Attributable to Common Shareholders’” on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. In addition, since the Company does not have a balance of retained earnings, the redemption value adjustment was recorded against additional paid-in capital.
