Equity [Abstract]  
24. Equity

(a)       Share capital

 

The Company’s authorized share capital is comprised of an unlimited number of common shares with no par value and an unlimited number of preferred shares issuable in one or more series. The Board is authorized to determine the rights and privileges and number of shares of each series.

 

As at December 31, 2019, there are 27,557,763 common shares and no preferred shares issued and outstanding.

 

(b)       Options

 

The Company has a stock option plan (the “Plan”) that provides for the granting of options to directors, officers, employees and consultants. The exercise price of an option is set at the time that such option is granted under the Plan. The maximum number of common shares reserved for issuance under the Plan is the greater of i) 15% of the number of common shares issued and outstanding of the Company and ii) 3,800,000. As a result of the Business Combination described in Note 13, there are an additional 536,000 options issued and outstanding as at December 31, 2019, which were granted pursuant to the Company’s prior stock option plan (the “Prior Plan”). These 536,000 options outstanding do not contribute towards the maximum number of common shares reserved for issuance under the Plan as described above.

 

Each option converts into one common share of the Company upon exercise. No amounts are paid or payable by the recipient on receipt of the option. The options carry neither rights to dividends nor voting rights. Options may be exercised at any time from the date of vesting to the date of expiry. Options issued under the Plan have a maximum contractual term of eight years, and options issued under the Prior Plan have a maximum contractual term of ten years.

 

A summary of the status of the stock options and changes in the period is as follows:

 

    Options Outstanding (000s)     Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value $     Weighted Average Exercise Price $     Options Exercisable (000s)     Weighted Average Exercise Price $  
As at December 31, 2017     3,099             3.80       1,529       3.85  
Options granted     468       1.26       4.13                  
Exercised     (156 )             1.99                  
Forfeited     (303 )             4.38                  
As at December 31, 2018     3,108               3.88       1,965       3.80  
Options granted     817       1.86       4.06                  
Replacement awards (Note 21)     536       1.69       2.64                  
Exercised     (356 )             2.16                  
Forfeited     (408 )             5.11                  
As at December 31, 2019     3,697               4.05       2,833       4.12  

 

The above noted options have expiry dates ranging from November 2021 to December 2029.

         

The fair value of each option granted was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:

   

    For the year ended December 31, 2019    

For the year ended December 31,

2018

 
Risk-free interest rate   1.17% - 1.83%     2.07% – 2.47%  
Expected life   5 years     5 years  
Expected volatility in market price of shares     50 %     50 %
Expected dividend yield     0 %     0 %
Expected forfeiture rate     15 %     15 %

 

These options generally vest either immediately or monthly over a three to four year period after an initial one year cliff. Volatility is estimated using historical data of comparable publicly traded companies operating in a similar segment.

 

Total share based compensation costs related to options and RSUs for the year ended December 31, 2019 were $1,732 (2018 - $1,320).

 

(c)       Restricted share units

 

RSUs are granted to executives and other key employees. The fair value of an RSU at the grant date is equal to the market value of one of the Company’s common shares. Executives and other key employees are granted a specific number of RSUs for a given performance period based on their position and level of contribution. RSUs vest fully after three years of continuous employment from the date of grant and, in certain cases, if performance objectives are met as determined by the Board of Directors. The maximum number of shares which may be made subject to issuance under RSUs awarded under the RSU Plan is 500,000.

 

Details of outstanding RSUs as at December 31, 2019 are as follows:

 

    Number of RSUs (000s)  
Outstanding, December 31, 2017     145  
Granted     164  
Converted     (30 )
Expired     (33 )
Outstanding, December 31, 2018     246

Outstanding, December 31, 2019     141  

 

(d)       Warrants

  

    Warrants Outstanding (000s)     Weighted Average Exercise Price $     Warrants Exercisable (000s)     Weighted Average Exercise Price $  
As at December 31, 2018     1,779       2.66       982       2.42  
Warrants exercised     (583 )     2.05       -       -  
As at December 31, 2019     1,196       2.96       982       2.96  

 

The 1,196,120 warrants outstanding noted above have expiry dates ranging from January 2021 to January 2023.

 

On June 17, 2019, our lender exercised all of its warrants to purchase 583,333 of the Company’s common shares at an exercise price of $2.05 per share. The warrants were exercised via a net equity settlement option included in the warrant certificate. As a result, the warrants were net settled on a cashless basis, with reference to the $4.85 volume weighted average trading price (“VWAP”) of Mogo Finance’s common shares on the TSX for the 5 trading days prior to the exercise date. The cashless exercise resulted in the net issuance of 336,871 common shares, and also resulted in the extinguishment of the derivative financial liability, fair valued at $1,534 as at the exercise date, on the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.

 

On January 25, 2016, in connection with the original marketing collaboration agreement (the “Postmedia Agreement”) with Postmedia Network Inc. (“Postmedia”), Mogo issued Postmedia five year warrants to acquire 1,196,120 common shares of Mogo at an exercise price of $2.96. 50% of the warrants were to vest in equal instalments over three years while the remaining 50% (the “Performance Warrants”) were to vest based on Mogo achieving certain quarterly revenue targets.

 

Effective January 2018, the Postmedia Agreement was extended for an additional two years beyond the end of the current agreement, as described in Note 7. In connection with this amendment, Postmedia and Mogo agreed to change the vesting and term of the 598,060 Performance Warrants so that i) they vest equally over the remaining two years of the collaboration (50% in January 2020 and 50% in January 2021); and ii) their term is extended an additional two years, now expiring January 2023.
