Equity [Abstract] |
STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY | 9. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY Repurchases of Common Stock On August 5, 2019, Acacia’s Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program, which authorized the purchase of up to $10.0 million of the Company’s common stock through open market purchases, through block trades, through 10b5-1 plans, or by means of private purchases, from time to time, through July 31, 2020. Stock repurchases for the periods presented, all of which were purchased as part of a publicly announced plan or program, were as follows:
Schedule of repurchased shares |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
|  | Total Number of Shares Purchased |  |  | Average Price paid per Share |  |  | Approximate Dollar Value of Shares that May Yet be Purchased under the Program |  |  | Plan Expiration Date
March 20, 2020 - March 31, 2020 |  |  | 576,898 |  |  | $ | 2.28 |  |  | $ | 8,686,000 |  |  | July 31, 2020
April 1, 2020 - April 23, 2020 |  |  | 1,107,639 |  |  | $ | 2.42 |  |  | $ | 6,001,000 |  |  | July 31, 2020
Total repurchases in 2020 |  |  | 1,684,537 |  |  | $ | 2.37 |  |  |  |  |  |  |
In determining whether or not to repurchase any shares of Acacia’s common stock, Acacia’s Board of Directors consider such factors, among others, as the impact of the repurchase on Acacia’s cash position, as well as Acacia’s capital needs and whether there is a better alternative use of Acacia’s capital. Acacia has no obligation to repurchase any amount of its common stock under the Stock Repurchase Program. Repurchases to date were made in the open market in compliance with applicable SEC rules. The authorization to repurchase shares presented an opportunity to reduce the outstanding share count and enhance stockholder value. Tax Benefits Preservation Plan On March 12, 2019, Acacia’s Board of Directors announced that it had unanimously approved the adoption of a Tax Benefits Preservation Plan (the “Plan”). Our stockholders ratified the adoption of the Plan in July 2019. The purpose of the Plan is to protect the Company’s ability to utilize potential tax assets, such as net operating loss carryforwards and tax credits to offset potential future taxable income. The Plan is designed to reduce the likelihood that the Company will experience an ownership change by discouraging (i) any person or group from acquiring beneficial ownership of 4.9% or more of the Company’s outstanding common stock and (ii) any existing stockholders who, as of the time of the first public announcement of the adoption of the Plan, beneficially own more than 4.9% of the Company’s then-outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock from acquiring additional shares of the Company’s common stock (subject to certain exceptions). There is no guarantee, however, that the Plan will prevent the Company from experiencing an ownership change. In connection with the adoption of the Plan, Acacia’s Board of Directors authorized and declared a dividend distribution of one right for each outstanding share of the Company’s common stock to stockholders of record at the close of business on March 16, 2019. On or after the distribution date, each right would initially entitle the holder to purchase one one-thousandth of a share of the Company’s Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value for a purchase price of $12.00. On March 15, 2021 the rights expired pursuant to their terms. The Company has a provision in its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the “Charter Provision”) which generally prohibits transfers of its common stock that could result in an ownership change. Like the Plan, the purpose of the Charter Provision is to protect the Company’s ability to utilize potential tax assets, such as net operating loss carryforwards and tax credits to offset potential future taxable income. The Charter Provision was approved by the Company’s stockholders on July 15, 2019.
