13. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

 

At-the-Market Offering

 

In January 2018, the Company entered into a common stock sales agreement with a financial institution pursuant to which the Company could offer and sell, through the sales agent, common stock representing an aggregate offering price of up to $2.5 million through an at-the-market continuous offering program. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company issued 128,853 shares of common stock at an average price of $14.10 for total net proceeds before offering expenses of approximately $1.8 million. Offering expenses, including broker fees and legal costs related to the at-the-market offering totaled $151 thousand. In January 2019, the Company terminated the at-the-market offering.

 

Warrants

 

In December 2016, the Company completed a registered direct offering of 100,000 shares of common stock at a net gross price of $15.00 per share. Concurrently, the investors received warrants to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $20.05 per share, subject to adjustment, for a period of five years from closing. The total net proceeds received by the Company were approximately $1.32 million. The fair value of the warrants upon issuance was $1.24 million, with the remaining $0.08 million being attributed to common stock. The warrants have been classified as liabilities due to features in the warrant agreement that give the warrant holder an option to require the Company to redeem the warrant at a calculated fair value in the event of a “Fundamental Transaction,” as defined in the warrant agreement. The fair value of the warrants was $73 thousand and $425 thousand at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively

 

As a result of common stock issuances made during the year ended December 31, 2018, the warrant exercise price was reduced from $20.50 to $11.30 per share pursuant to the original warrant agreement.

 

Stock Option Plans

 

From time to time, the Company may grant stock options under its incentive plan covering shares of common stock to employees of the Company. Stock options, when exercised, are settled through the payment of the exercise price in exchange for new shares of stock underlying the option. These awards typically expire ten years from the grant date.

 

Total stock-based compensation expense related to stock options was $41 thousand and $53 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. As of December 31, 2019, all stock options had vested. During the year ended December 31, 2019, no stock options were granted, exercised or expired. As the result of an employee termination during the period, 500 unvested stock options were forfeited. For the year ended December 31, 2018, no stock options were granted, exercised or forfeited, however, 6,922 stock options expired during the period.
