NOTE 7 – Short-Term Promissory Notes and Unsecured Loan

 

Short-Term Promissory Notes

In August 2017, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized, and the Company issued short-term unsecured promissory notes (the “Short-Term Notes”) for aggregate gross proceeds of $253,000 prior to issuance costs of $3,030 which were discounted from the Short-Term Notes and are being amortized ratably to interest expense over the term of the Short-Term Notes. On November 30, 2017, the Short-Term Notes were amended to extend the maturity date from February 18, 2018 to July 31, 2018 and to increase warrant coverage. For the year ended December 31, 2017, discount amortization charged to interest expense related to the issuance costs was $1,748. The Short-Term Notes do not bear interest on principal and require the Company to repay the principal upon maturity.

 

In addition, upon maturity, under the provisions of the Short-Term Notes as amended, the holders will receive 189,750 common stock purchase warrants upon maturity with a term of 5 years at an exercise price of $1.80 which will be immediately exercisable upon issue. The November 2017 amendment resulted in a substantial modification to the original Short-Term Notes whereby additional warrant coverage was added and the maturity date of the Short-Term Notes was extended. The Company recorded the Short-Term Note amendment under the provisions of extinguishment accounting. A loss on Short-Term Notes extinguishment in the accompanying statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2017 was recorded in the amount of $144,577, which represented the difference between the face value of the Short-Term Notes over the combined carrying values of the Short-Term Notes and warrants on the date of the amendment. The fair value increase of the Short-Term Notes and the warrants as amended over its adjusted carrying value at the time of the amendment was $117,280 which was recorded as additional paid-in capital.

 

Prior to the November 30, 2017 amendment, the holders were to receive 126,500 common stock purchase warrants upon maturity. A portion of the proceeds from the Short-Term Notes upon issue was allocated to the original warrants based on their relative fair value to the underlying Short-Term Notes in the amount of $61,496 and was recorded in additional paid-in capital in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and was discounted from the Short-Term Notes and was being amortized to interest expense ratably over the term of the Short-Term Notes which amounted to $35,479 during the year ended December 31, 2017. The fair value of the warrants was based on the Black-Scholes method with the following assumptions: risk-free interest rate 2.1 percent; expected volatility 47.8 percent; expected life 5.7 years; and expected dividend yield 0 percent. The underlying stock price used in the analysis is on a non-marketable basis and is according to a separate third-party valuation analysis. These warrants when issued will be immediately exercisable at $1.80 per share and will expire on July 31, 2023.

 

The Short-Term Promissory Notes were amended again in March 2018 (See Note 13 – Subsequent Events).

 

Pursuant to the Short-Term Note subscription agreement, the Company is entitled to receive notice in the event a holder elects to sell or receives a bona fide offer for any portion of the Short-Term Notes and associated warrants, and the right to purchase the Short-Term Notes and associated warrants on the same terms as the proposed sale or bona fide offer, as applicable, as long as the Company exercises that right within 15 days of receiving written notice. The Company has granted subscribers indemnification rights with respect to its representations, warranties, covenants and agreements under the Short-Term Note subscription agreement.

 

Unsecured Loan

NeuroOne received a $50,000 short-term unsecured loan in November 2016 from the placement agent for its convertible promissory note financing (see Note 8 – Convertible Promissory Notes and Warrant Agreements). NeuroOne incurred no fees or interest costs for this temporary loan and it was repaid in full in February 2017.
