STOCKHOLDERS EQUITY |
STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY | C. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY Proceeds from the Sale of Common Stock In December 2024, the Company sold 7,552,500 shares of common stock at a public offering price of $0.31 per share and pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 8,577,500 shares of common stock, at an offering price of $0.3099 per pre-funded warrant, for proceeds of approximately $4.4 million, net of issuance costs of approximately $0.6 million. As of December 31, 2024, none of the pre-funded warrants in connection with the December 2024 offering have been exercised. The Company determined that the pre-funded warrants sold in the December 2024 offering are freestanding financial instruments because they are both legally detachable and separately exercisable from the common stock sold in the offering. As such, the Company evaluated the pre-funded warrants to determine whether they represent instruments that require liability classification pursuant to the guidance in ASC 480. However, the Company concluded that the pre-funded warrants are not a liability within the scope of ASC 480 due to their characteristics. Further, the Company determined that the pre-funded warrants do not meet the definition of a derivative under ASC 815. Accordingly, the Company assessed the pre-funded warrants relative to the guidance in ASC No. 815-40, Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity, to determine the appropriate treatment. The Company concluded that the pre-funded warrants are both indexed to its own stock and meet all other conditions for equity classification. Accordingly, the Company has classified the pre-funded warrants as permanent equity and recorded them as a component of additional paid-in capital upon the closing of the transaction in December 2024. In November 2023, the Company sold 2,490,000 shares of common stock at a public offering price of $2.00 per share and received proceeds of approximately $4.5 million, net of issuance costs of approximately $0.5 million. Other Equity Transactions In October 2024, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Ergomed Group Limited (“Ergomed”) pursuant to which the Company issued 1,000,000 shares of common stock in exchange for services. The shares are legally issued and outstanding. The Company determined the issuance of shares to a non-employee for services rendered or to be rendered is within the scope of ASC 718. In accordance with ASC 718, the shares are not issued and outstanding for accounting purposes as they are unvested and forfeitable. The shares will be recognized on the settlement date and measured at fair value when the shares are settled for services rendered by Ergomed. The Company incurred share issuance costs of approximately $61,000 to issue the shares from this agreement which were immediately expensed.
