Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock

 

On April 13, 2022, the Company entered into the Securities Purchase Agreement with the Investors in a registered direct offering of 11,765 shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock, which shares of Series A Preferred Stock are convertible into a total of 384,477 shares of common stock, at a conversion price of $30.60. The purchase price of each share of Series A Preferred Stock was $850, which included an original issue discount to the stated value of $1,000 per share. The rights, preferences and privileges of the Series A Preferred Stock are set forth in the Company’s Certificate of Determination, which the Company filed with the Secretary of State of the State of California. The Securities Purchase Agreement provides that the closing of the Series A Preferred Stock Offering will occur, subject to the satisfaction of certain closing conditions, in two equal tranches of $5,000,000 each for aggregate gross proceeds from both closings of $10,000,000. The first closing occurred on June 1, 2022, and Oncocyte received net proceeds of approximately $4.9 million from the Series A Preferred Stock issued from the first tranche. The second closing would occur, subject to the satisfaction of certain closing conditions (including but not limited to a requirement that the Company has not received, in the 12 months preceding the second closing, a notice from Nasdaq that the Company is not in compliance with the listing and maintenance and listing requirements of Nasdaq), on the earlier of (a) the second trading day following the date that Oncocyte receives notice from an Investor to accelerate the second closing and (b) a date selected by Oncocyte on or after October 8, 2022 and on or prior to March 8, 2023. On August 9, 2022, Oncocyte received a letter from Nasdaq indicating that the Company no longer met the minimum bid price requirement of the Nasdaq continued listing requirements. Accordingly, the second closing did not occur and no additional proceeds were received under the Securities Purchase Agreement. On August 8, 2023, the Company received a letter from Nasdaq indicating that the Company had regained compliance with the minimum bid price requirement of the Nasdaq continued listing requirements. See Note 15 for additional information about the Series A Preferred Stock Offering.

 

The Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at any time at the holder’s option. The conversion price will be subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments for matters such as stock splits, stock dividends and other distributions on our common stock, and recapitalizations. A holder is prohibited from converting shares of Series A Preferred Stock into shares of common stock if, as a result of such conversion, the holder, together with its affiliates, would own more than 4.99% of the shares of our common stock then issued and outstanding (provided a holder may elect, at the first closing, to increase such beneficial ownership limitation solely as to itself up to 19.99% of the number of shares of our common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the conversion, provided further that following the receipt of shareholder approval required by applicable Nasdaq rules with respect to the issuance of common stock that would exceed the beneficial ownership limitation, such beneficial ownership limitation will no longer apply to the holder if the holder notified the Company that the holder wishes the Company to seek such shareholder approval). On July 15, 2022, the Company received such shareholder approval to remove the beneficial ownership limitation with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock held by Broadwood. The Company may force the conversion of up to one-third of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock originally issued, subject to customary equity conditions, if the daily volume weighted average price of our common stock for 20 out of 30 trading days exceeds 140% of the conversion price and on 20 out of the same 30 trading days the daily trading volume equals or exceeds 20,000 shares of our common stock. The Company may only effect one forced conversion during any 30-trading day period.

 

In the event of the Company’s liquidation, dissolution, or winding up, holders of Series A Preferred Stock will receive a payment equal to the stated value of the Series A Preferred Stock plus accrued but unpaid dividends and any other amounts that may have become payable on the Series A Preferred Stock due to any failure or delay that may have occurred in issuing shares of common stock upon conversion of a portion of the Series A Preferred Stock, before any distribution or payment to the holders of common stock or any of our other junior equity.

Shares of Series A Preferred Stock generally have no voting rights, except as required by law and except that the consent of holders of a majority of the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock will be required to amend any provision of our certificate of incorporation that would have a materially adverse effect on the rights of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock. Additionally, as long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock remain outstanding, unless the holders of at least 51% of the then outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall have otherwise given prior written consent, we, on a consolidated basis with our subsidiaries, are not permitted to (1) have less than $8 million of unrestricted, unencumbered cash on hand (“Cash Minimum Requirement”); (2) other than certain permitted indebtedness, incur indebtedness to the extent that our aggregate indebtedness exceeds $15 million; (3) enter into any agreement (including any indenture, credit agreement or other debt instrument) that by its terms prohibits, prevents, or otherwise limits our ability to pay dividends on, or redeem, the Series A Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms of the Certificate of Determination; or (4) authorize or issue any class or series of preferred stock or other capital stock of the Company that ranks senior or pari passu with the Series A Preferred Stock.

A “Change of Control Transaction” means the occurrence of any of (a) an acquisition by an individual or legal entity or “group” (as described in Rule 13d-5(b)(1) promulgated under the Exchange Act) of effective control (whether through legal or beneficial ownership of capital stock of the Company, by contract or otherwise) of in excess of 50% of the voting securities of the Company (other than by means of conversion of Series A Preferred Stock), (b) the Company merges into or consolidates with any other person, or any person merges into or consolidates with the Company and, after giving effect to such transaction, the stockholders of the Company immediately prior to such transaction own less than 50% of the aggregate voting power of the Company or the successor entity of such transaction, or (c) the Company sells or transfers all or substantially all of its assets to another person. Additionally, the Company has the right to redeem the Series A Preferred Stock for cash upon 30 days prior notice to the holders; provided if the Company undertakes a capital raise in connection with such redemption, the Investors will have the right to participate in such financing. On April 5, 2023, the Company redeemed 1,064 shares of the Series A Preferred Stock for approximately $1.1 million.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Oncocyte has considered the guidance in ASC 815-40, Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock, which states that contracts that require or may require the issuer to settle the contract for cash are liabilities recorded at fair value, irrespective of the likelihood of the transaction occurring that triggers the net cash settlement feature. This liability classification guidance also applies to financial instruments that may require cash or other form of settlement for transactions outside of the company’s control and, in which the form of consideration to the warrant holder may not be the same as to all other shareholders in connection with the transaction. However, if a transaction is not within the company’s control but the holder of the financial instrument can solely receive the same type or form of consideration as is being offered to all the shareholders in the transaction, then equity classification of the financial instrument is not precluded, if all other applicable equity classification criteria are met. Based on the above guidance and, among other factors, the fact that the warrants cannot be cash settled under any circumstance but require share settlement, all of the outstanding warrants meet the equity classification criteria and have been classified as equity.
