Stockholders' Equity

20. Stockholders’ Equity

Common Stock

The Company has the authority to issue 1,000,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share (further details subsequent to the date of these consolidated financial statements are provided under the heading Sequencing Policy in Note 28).

On January 4, 2018, the Company issued an aggregate of 1,200,000 shares of its common stock to an investor, Strome Mezzanine Fund LP (“Strome”), in a private placement at a price of $2.50 per share. The Company received gross proceeds of $3,000,000 from the private placement, which was received prior to December 31, 2017 and, therefore, was classified as restricted cash and as a private placement advance on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2017. Upon completion of the private placement on January 4, 2018, the funds were reclassified to cash and stockholders’ equity.

In connection with the January 4, 2018 closing of the private placement, MDB, as the placement agent, was entitled to receive 60,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (presented as “Common Stock to be Issued” within stockholders’ equity) valued at $150,000 (value based on private placement price of $2.50 per share). In addition, MDB received warrants to purchase 60,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $2.50 per share (refer to Common Stock Warrants below).

Pursuant to the registration rights agreement entered into on January 4, 2018 with the investor, the Company agreed to register for resale the shares of common stock purchased pursuant to the private placement. The Company also committed to register the 60,000 shares issued to MDB. The Company committed to file the registration statement no later than 200 days after the closing and to cause the registration statement to become effective no later than the earlier of (i) 7 business days after the SEC informs the Company that no review of the registration statement will be made or (ii) when the SEC has no further comments on the registration statement. The registration rights agreement provides for liquidated damages upon the occurrence of certain events, including the Company’s failure to file the registration statement or to cause it to become effective by the deadlines set forth above. The amount of liquidated damages payable to the investor is 1.0% of the aggregate amount invested for each 30-day period, or pro rata portion thereof, during which the default continues, up to a maximum amount of 5.0% of the aggregate amount invested or the value of the securities registered by the placement agent. The purchaser of the shares of common stock waived the liquidated damages when the purchaser converted certain notes payable into Series H Preferred Stock in August 2018 (see Note 23). The Company recognized Liquidated Damages for the year ended December 31, 2018, with respect to its registration rights agreement for the common stock issued to MDB in conjunction with the January 4, 2018 private placement (see Note 23).

On March 30, 2018, the Company issued an aggregate of 500,000 shares of its common stock to Strome in a second closing of the private placement entered into on January 4, 2018 at a price of $2.50 per share. The Company received gross proceeds of $1,250,000 from the second closing of the private placement. No costs were incurred in connection with the second closing of the private placement.

The Company entered into a registration rights agreement on March 30, 2018 with the investor, pursuant to which the Company agreed to register for resale the shares of common stock purchased pursuant to the placement. The Company committed to file the registration statement no later than 270 days after the closing and to cause the registration statement to become effective no later than the earlier of (i) 7 business days after the SEC informs the Company that no review of the registration statement will be made or (ii) when the SEC has no further comments on the registration statement. The registration rights agreement provides for liquidated damages upon the occurrence of certain events, including the Company’s failure to file the registration statement or to cause it to become effective by the deadlines set forth above. The amount of liquidated damages payable to the investor is 1.0% of the aggregate amount invested for each 30-day period, or pro rata portion thereof, during which the default continues, up to a maximum amount of 5.0% of the aggregate amount invested. The purchaser of the shares of common stock waived the liquidated damages when the purchaser converted certain notes payable into Series H Preferred Stock in August 2018 (see Note 16).

On January 1, 2019, the Company issued 833,333 shares of its common stock as restricted stock awards to certain members of the Board subject to vesting (see Note 21).

During the year ended December 31, 2019, in connection with the Say Media Merger, the Company issued 1,188,880 shares of its common stock out of total shares required to be issued of 5,067,167 as of December 31, 2018, and has presented 3,938,287 of the shares required to be issued as “Common Stock to be Issued” within stockholders’ equity.

On September 10, 2019, the L2 Warrants were fully exercised on a cashless basis, resulting in the issuance of 539,331 shares of the Company’s common stock (refer to Restricted Stock Awards below).

Information with respect to the issuance of common stock in connection with the acquisition of Say Media is provided in Note 28.

Restricted Stock Awards

During August 2016 and October 2016, the Company issued 12,209,677 and 307,475, respectively, shares of common stock to management and employees, as restricted stock awards, that contained a Company buy-back right for a certain number of shares pursuant to the achievement of a unique user performance condition (the “Performance Condition”) issued at the original cash consideration paid, which totaled $2,952 or approximately $0.0002 per share. On November 4, 2016, in conjunction with the recapitalization, the number of shares subject to the buy-back was modified, resulting in a modification of the restricted stock awards. The shares vest over a three-year period starting on the beginning of the month of the issuance date, with one-third vesting in one year, and the balance monthly over the remaining two years. Because these shares require continued service to the Company, the estimated fair value of the shares is being recognized as compensation expense over the vesting period of the award.

As of December 31, 2017, the Performance Condition was determined based on 4,977,144 unique users accessing Maven’s channels in November 2017. Based on this level of unique users, 2,453,362 shares subject to the buy-back right were earned under the Performance Condition and 1,927,641 shares remained subject to the buy-back right. The Board made a determination on March 12, 2018 to waive the buy-back right, resulting in a modification of the restricted stock awards, which resulted in incremental compensation cost of $2,756,527 at the time of the modification, of which $420,083 and $2,148,811 was recognized during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

On August 23, 2018, in connection with the HubPages Merger, the Company issued a total of 2,399,997 shares of common stock to certain key personnel of HubPages who agreed to continue their employment with HubPages, as restricted stock awards, subject to a repurchase right and vesting. The repurchase right, which expired in March 2019 unexercised, gave the Company the option to repurchase a certain number of shares at par value based on a performance condition as defined in the terms of the HubPages Merger Agreement. The shares vest in twenty-four equal monthly installments beginning September 23, 2019 and ending September 23, 2021 and the estimated fair value of these shares was recognized as compensation expense over the vesting period of the award. The restricted stock awards provide for a true-up period that if the common stock is sold for less than $2.50 the holder will receive, subject to certain conditions, additional shares of common stock up to a maximum of the amount of shares originally received (or 2,400,000 in aggregate to all holders) for the shares that re-sold for less than $2.50, which was settled on May 31, 2019 (as further described in Note 21). The true-up period, in general, is 13 months after the consummation of the HubPages Merger until 90 days following completion of vesting, or July 30, 2021. The restricted stock awards were fair valued upon issuance by an independent appraisal firm.

On September 13, 2018, the Company issued 148,813 shares of common stock to certain members of the Board, as restricted awards, subject to continued service with the Company. The shares vest over a four-month period beginning September 30, 2018 and the estimated fair value of these shares is being recognized as compensation expense over the vesting period of the award. On October 1, 2018, the Company issued 57,693 shares of common stock to certain members of the Board, as restricted awards, subject to continued service with the Company. The shares vest over a three-month period beginning October 31, 2018 and the estimated fair value of these shares is being recognized as compensation expense over the vesting period of the award. The Company issued a total of 206,506 common stock awards to certain members of the Board during the year ended December 31, 2019.

On December 12, 2018, in connection with the Say Media Merger, the Company issued a total of 2,000,000 restricted stock awards to acquire common stock of the Company to key personnel for continuing services with Say Media, subject to vesting, and repurchase rights under certain circumstances (as further described below). The Company had the right to cancel for no consideration, or on a pro rata basis in certain circumstances, in the event the average monthly number of total unique users over a specified period did not meet certain user targets. As it was deemed probable the average monthly number of total unique would be satisfied at the time the restricted stock awards were issued, the Company determined the fair value of the restricted stock awards based on the quoted price of the Company’s common stock on the date issued. The shares vest one-third on the first anniversary date of issuance and then over twenty-four equal monthly installments after the first anniversary date and the estimated fair value of these shares is being recognized as compensation expense over the vesting period of the award.

On December 11, 2019, the Company modified the restricted stock awards vesting provisions issued in connection with the Say Media Merger to remove the repurchase rights, such that they will vest six equal installments at four-month intervals on the twelfth of each month, starting on December 12, 2019, with the final vesting date on August 12, 2021.

Unless otherwise stated, the fair value of a restricted stock award is determined based on the number of shares granted and the quoted price of the Company’s common stock on the date issued.

A summary of the restricted stock award activity during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 is as follows:

		Number of Shares								Weighted Average Grant-Date

As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, there was $970,537 and $3,927,443 of total unrecognized compensation expense related to the restricted stock awards and units, including the effect of the waiver of the buy-back right, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 1.29 and 1.94 years, respectively.

The Company recorded forfeited unvested restricted stock awards and/or forfeited vested restricted stock awards used for tax withholding of 1,227,512 (825,000 forfeited awards and 402,512 used for tax withholding) and 329,735 during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, on the consolidated statements of stockholders’ deficiency.

As of December 31, 2017, the Performance Condition was determined based on 4,977,144 unique users accessing Maven’s channels in November 2017. Based on this level of unique users, 2,453,362 shares subject to the buy-back right were earned under the Performance Condition and 1,927,641 shares remained subject to the buy-back right. The Board made a determination on March 12, 2018 to waive the buy-back right, resulting in a modification of the restricted stock awards, which resulted in incremental compensation cost of $2,756,527 at the time of the modification, of which $420,083 and $2,148,811 was recognized during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

A modification of a certain restricted stock award issued to an employee was recognized upon termination of employment on December 20, 2018, resulting in $43,750 of compensation expense at the time of the modification.

Information with respect to compensation expense of the restricted stock awards is provided in Note 21.

Common Stock Warrants

Warrants issued to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock to MDB, L2, Strome, and B. Riley (collectively the “Financing Warrants”) are described below.

MDB Warrants – On November 4, 2016, in conjunction with the recapitalization, Integrated issued warrants to MDB (the “MDB Warrants”) to purchase 1,169,607 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $0.20 per share, of which 842,117 were exercised on April 30, 2018 under the cashless exercise provisions. A total of 327,490 warrants remain outstanding under this instrument as of December 31, 2019 after the cashless exercise, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments, exercisable for a period of five years.

On October 19, 2017, the Company issued warrants to MDB which acted as placement agent in connection with a private placement of its common stock, to purchase 119,565 shares of common stock. The warrants have an exercise price of $1.15 per share, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments, exercisable for a period of five years.

On January 4, 2018, the Company issued warrants to MDB which acted as placement agent in connection with a private placement of its common stock, to purchase 60,000 shares of common stock. The warrants have an exercise price of $2.50 per share, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments, and may, in the event there is no effective registration statement covering the re-sale of the warrant shares, be exercised on a cashless basis, exercisable for a period of five years.

MDB Warrants exercisable for a total of 507,055 shares of the Company’s common stock were outstanding as of December 31, 2019. The MDB Warrants are recorded within the consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity.

L2 Warrants – Effective as of August 3, 2018, pursuant to the reset provision, the Company adjusted the exercise price to $0.50 per share (the floor exercise price) for the L2 Warrants and issued additional warrants to L2 to purchase 640,405 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share. As a result of the L2 Warrants exercise price being reduced to the floor exercise price on August 3, 2018 and triggering of the reset provision, the L2 Warrants no longer contain any reset provisions and will continue to be carried on the consolidated balance sheets as a derivative liability at fair value, as adjusted at each period-end since, among other criteria, delivery of unregistered shares is precluded upon exercise. As of December 31, 2018, the carrying amount of the derivative liability was $418,214 (see Note 15).

The L2 Warrants were exercisable for a period of five years, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments, and may, in the event there was no effective registration statement covering the resale of the warrant shares, be exercised on a cashless basis in certain circumstances. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the L2 Warrants were exercised on a cashless basis during the year ended December 31, 2019.

Strome Warrants – On June 15, 2018, the Company modified the two securities purchase agreements dated January 4, 2018 and March 30, 2018 with Strome to eliminate the true-up provision under which the Company was committed to issue up to 1,700,000 shares of common stock in certain circumstances, as further described below. As consideration for such modification, the Company issued warrants to Strome (the “Strome Warrants”) to purchase 1,500,000 shares of common stock, exercisable at an initial price of $1.19 per share for a period of five years, subject to a reset provision and customary anti-dilution provisions. Strome was also granted observer rights on the Board.

The January 4, 2018 financing transaction did not include any true-up or make-good provisions, nor did it contain any lock-up provisions, however, the March 30, 2018 financing transaction included a true-up provision and a lock-up provision. The true-up provision required the Company to issue additional shares of common stock if Strome sold shares on a national securities exchange or the OTC marketplace or in an arm’s-length unrelated third-party private sale in the 90-day period beginning one year after March 30, 2018 at less than $2.50 per share, up to a maximum of one share for each share originally sold to Strome. In addition, the Company entered into a separate agreement with Strome dated March 30, 2018 that extended the true-up provisions to the shares of common stock sold in the January 4, 2018 financing. Accordingly, under this true-up provision, which became effective March 30, 2018, the Company was obligated to issue up to an additional 1,700,000 shares of common stock to Strome without any further consideration under certain conditions in the future. As a result of the true-up provision, the maximum number of shares issuable in these transactions were 3,400,000 with a $1.25 floor price per share, and may, in the event there is no effective registration statement covering the re-sale of the warrant shares, be exercised on a cashless basis in certain circumstances.

Effective as of August 3, 2018, pursuant to the reset provision, the Company adjusted the exercise price to $0.50 per share (the floor price) for the Strome Warrants. The Company accounted for the Strome Warrants, upon issuance, as a derivative liability because the warrants had a downward reset provision with a floor of $0.50 per share. The Company recorded the Strome Warrants at fair value in its consolidated balance sheets, with adjustments to fair value at each period-end. Upon issuance, the Company recognized a derivative liability of $1,344,648, which is reflected as a true-up termination fee on the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2018. As a result of the Strome Warrants exercise price being reduced to the floor exercise price on August 3, 2018 and the triggering of the reset provision, the Strome Warrants no longer contain any reset provisions and will continue to be carried on the consolidated balance sheets as a derivative liability at fair value, as adjusted at each period-end since, among other criteria, delivery of unregistered shares is precluded upon exercise. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the carrying amount of the derivative liability was $760,042 and $587,971, respectively (see Note 15).

B. Riley Warrants – On October 18, 2018, the Company issued warrants to the investors to purchase up to 875,000 shares of the Company’s common stock in connection with the 10% OID Convertible Debentures, with an exercise price of $1.00 per share, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments, exercisable for a period of seven years. The warrant provides that upon the consummation of a subsequent financing, the $1.00 exercise price would be adjusted to (i), in the event that security issued in such subsequent financing is common stock, 125% of the effective per share purchase price of the common stock in such subsequent financing, (ii), in the event that the security issued in such subsequent financing is a common stock equivalent, 100% of the effective per share purchase price of the common stock underlying the common stock equivalent issued in such subsequent financing, or (iii), in the event that the primary securities issued such subsequent financing includes a combination of common stock and common stock equivalents, the greater of (a) 125% of the effective per share purchase price of the common stock issued in such subsequent financing or (b) 100% of the effective per share purchase price of the common stock underlying the common stock equivalents.

The Company determined that the aforementioned $1.00 exercise price adjustment provisions were inconsequential since the Company did not anticipate issuing common stock or common stock equivalents that would trigger a subsequent financing condition, therefore, the fair value of the warrants were determined under a Black-Scholes pricing model and reflected as a warrant derivative liability upon issuance at fair value, as adjusted at each period-end. If at any time after the six-month anniversary of the issuance of the warrants, if there is no effective registration statement covering the re-sale of the shares of common stock underlying the warrants, the warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the carrying amount of the derivative liability was $607,513 $358,050, respectively (see Note 15).

A summary of the Financing Warrants activity during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 is as follows:

										Weighted
										Average
						Weighted				Remaining
		Number				Average				Contractual

The aggregate issue date fair value of the Financing Warrants issued during the year ended December 31, 2018 was $2,478,359.

During 2019, the exercise of the 1,066,963 warrants in September 2019 on a cashless basis resulted in the issuance of 539,331 net shares of common stock when the common stock price was $0.80 per share.

During 2018, the exercise of the 842,117 warrants in April 2018 on a cashless basis resulted in the issuance of 736,853 net shares of common stock when the common stock price was $1.60 per share.

The intrinsic value of exercisable but unexercised in-the-money stock warrants as of December 31, 2019 was approximately $646,000, based on a fair market value of the Company’s common stock of $0.80 per share on December 31, 2019.

The Financing Warrants outstanding and exercisable as of December 31, 2019 are summarized as follows:

Channel Partner Warrants – On December 19, 2016, the Board approved up to 5,000,000 stock warrants to issue shares of the Company’s common stock to provide equity incentive to its Channel Partners (the “Channel Partner Warrants”) to motivate and reward them for their services to the Company and to align the interests of the Channel Partners with those of stockholders of the Company. On August 23, 2018, the Board approved a reduction of the number of warrant reserve shares from 5,000,000 to 2,000,000. The issuance of the Channel Partner Warrants is administered by management and approved by the Board.

Information with respect to stock-based compensation related to the Channel Partner Warrants is provided in Note 21.

ABG Warrants – On June 14, 2019, the Company issued 21,989,844 warrants to acquire the Company’s common stock to ABG in connection with the Sports Illustrated Licensing Agreement, expiring in ten years. Half the warrants have an exercise price of $0.42 per share (the “Forty-Two Cents Warrants”). The other half of the warrants have an exercise price of $0.84 per share (the “Eighty-Four Cents Warrants”). The warrants provide for the following: (1) 40% of the Forty-Two Cents Warrants and 40% of the Eighty-Four Cents Warrants vest in equal monthly increments over a period of two years beginning on the one year anniversary of the date of issuance of the warrants (any unvested portion of such warrants to be forfeited by ABG upon certain terminations by the Company of the Sports Illustrated Licensing Agreement); (2) 60% of the Forty-Two Cents Warrants and 60% of the Eighty-Four Cents Warrants vest based on the achievement of certain performance goals for the licensed brands in calendar years 2020, 2021, 2022, or 2023; (3) under certain circumstances the Company may require ABG to exercise all (and not less than all) of the warrants, in which case all of the warrants will be vested; (4) all of the warrants automatically vest upon certain terminations of the Licensing Agreement by ABG or upon a change of control of the Company; and (5) ABG has the right to participate, on a pro-rata basis (including vested and unvested warrants, exercised or unexercised), in any future equity issuance of the Company (subject to customary exceptions).

Information with respect to stock-based compensation related to the ABG Warrants is provided in Note 21.
