Warrants and Rights Note Disclosure [Abstract] |
Warrants | Note 16: Warrants The Company has warrants outstanding to purchase up to 5,257,538 and 11,124,405 shares as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. On February 19, 2019, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with a certain accredited investor pursuant to which we sold 945,894 shares of Common Stock and warrants to purchase up to 945,894 shares of our Common Stock, or the registered warrants, to such investor (the “February 2019 Offering”). The Company received $1,757,552 in net proceeds from this offering. Each share of Common Stock was accompanied by a registered warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $2.12. Each share of Common Stock and accompanying registered warrant were sold at a combined purchase price of $2.12. The shares of Common Stock and registered warrants were purchased together and were issued separately and were immediately separable upon issuance. In a concurrent private placement, the Company also sold to the purchaser in the February 2019 Offering, warrants to purchase up to 945,894 shares of our Common Stock, or the private warrants. In connection with the February 2019 Offering and concurrent private placement, we entered into the Amendment, Waiver and Consent Agreement with certain holders of our August 2018 Secured Convertible Notes. Pursuant to the Amendment, Waiver and Consent Agreement, such holders agreed to amend the notes purchase agreement, waive any applicable rights and remedies under the notes purchase agreement, and consent to the February 2019 Offering and concurrent private placement. In consideration for such Amendment, Waiver and Consent Agreement, we agreed to issue such holders warrants to purchase up to an aggregate amount of 1,800,000 shares of our Common Stock. Such warrants have an exercise price of $2.55 per share, will become exercisable commencing six months and one day from the date of issuance and will expire five (5) years from the date of issuance. The allocation of carrying basis between the Warrants issued and the August 2018 Secured Convertible Notes was determined based on relative valuation. The carrying basis attributable to the Warrants to acquire Common Stock was $1,287,962 and was calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. On July 22, 2019, the Company entered into an amendment, waiver and consent agreement (the “Amendment, Waiver and Consent”) with certain holders constituting (i) a majority-in-interest of the holders of the August 2018 Secured Convertible Notes and (ii) 51% in interest of the shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to a securities purchase agreement, dated as of January 8, 2018, by and among the Company and the purchasers identified on the signature pages thereto (the “January 2018 Purchase Agreement”). Pursuant to the Amendment, Waiver and Consent, such holders have agreed to (i) amend the definition of “Exempt Issuance” in each of the August 2018 Purchase Agreement and January 2018 Purchase Agreement to include an agreement to issue or announce the issuance or proposed issuance of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents (as that term is defined in each of the August 2018 Purchase Agreement and January 2018 Purchase Agreement) in a public offering for an effective per share purchase price of Common Stock of less than $2.50 (the “Offering”), (ii) waive any applicable rights and remedies under the August 2018 Purchase Agreement and January 2018 Purchase Agreement, and (iii) consent to the Offering. In consideration for the Amendment, Waiver and Consent, the Company agreed to reduce the conversion price of the Notes from $2.50 per share of Common Stock to $1.515 (the “Note Amendment”) and issue all of the purchasers under the August 2018 Purchase Agreement warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,800,000 shares of our Common Stock (the “Waiver Warrants”). The Waiver Warrants will have an exercise price of $1.14 per share, will become exercisable commencing six months and one day from the date of issuance and will expire five (5) years from the date of issuance. On September 18, 2019, the Company entered into a private transaction (the “2019 Private Transaction”) pursuant to the Agreement with the holder of the Original Warrants. The Original Warrants were originally issued on February 19, 2019, to purchase an aggregate of 945,894 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $2.12 per share and expired on February 19, 2020. Pursuant to the Agreement, the holder of the Original Warrants and the Company agreed that such Original Warrant holder would exercise its Original Warrants in full and the Company would amend the Original Warrants to reduce the exercise price thereof to $0.76. The Company received $718,879 from the exercise of the Original Warrants before paying the placement agent fee of $50,321. The induced exercise resulted in the Company recognizing and recording an “imputed dividend” of $181,884. In connection with a private placement, the Company issued to the Investor warrants exercisable for one share of Common Stock for an aggregate of 477,474 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.76 per share. Each Warrant will be immediately exercisable on the date of its issuance and will expire five years from the date it becomes exercisable. Subject to limited exceptions, a holder of a Warrant will not have the right to exercise any portion of its warrants if the holder, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise. The Special Equities Group, LLC, a division of Bradley Woods & Co. LTD, acted as placement agent and received a cash fee of $35,280 and warrants to purchase 46,421 shares at an exercise price of $0.836 per share. On December 16, 2019, the Company entered into Warrant Exercise Agreements (the “Exercise Agreements”) with certain of the holders of the Existing Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 3,646,135 shares of Common Stock (the “Exercising Holders”). Pursuant to the Exercise Agreements, the Exercising Holders and the Company agreed that, subject to any applicable beneficial ownership limitations, the Exercising Holders would exercise their Existing Warrants (the “Investor Warrants”) for shares of Common Stock underlying such Existing Warrants (the “Exercised Shares”) at a reduced exercise price of $0.21 per share of Common Stock. In order to induce the Exercising Holders to cash exercise the Investor Warrants, the Exercise Agreements provide for the issuance of new warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of approximately 3,646,135 shares of Common Stock (the “New Warrants”), with such New Warrants to be issued in an amount equal to the number of the Exercised Shares underlying any Investor Warrants. The New Warrants are exercisable six months and one day after issuance and terminate on the date that is five years following the initial exercise date. The New Warrants have an exercise price per share of $0.3004, which was the Nasdaq Official Closing Price on December 13, 2019. On January 22, 2020, the Company entered into the Private Transaction pursuant to the Agreement with the holder of the Company’s Original Warrants. The Original Warrants were originally issued on October 3, 2017, to purchase an aggregate of 500,000 shares of Common Stock, at an exercise price of $3.90 per share and were to expire in October 2022. Pursuant to the Agreement, the holder of the Original Warrants and the Company agreed that such Original Warrant holder would exercise its Original Warrants in full and the Company would amend the Original Warrants to reduce the exercise price thereof to $0.34 (the average closing price of the Common Stock (as reflected on Nasdaq.com) for the five trading days immediately preceding the signing of the Agreement). The Company received approximately $170,000 from the exercise of the Original Warrants. The placement agent received warrants to purchase 50,000 shares at an exercise price of $0.34 per share. Pursuant to the SPA described in Note 10, the Company issued to the note holders warrants to purchase 65,476,191 shares of Common Stock, exercisable for a period of five years at an initial exercise price of $0.26 per share. The placement agent received warrants to purchase 6,547,619 shares at an exercise price of $0.26 per share. On May 15, 2020 stockholders of the Company approved the reduction in warrants exercise price for the 2020 Convertible Notes holders to $0.21. During the three months ended September 30, 2020, certain warrant holders exercised warrants for 29,000,526 shares of Common Stock at $0.21 per share in cash. Certain other warrant holders exercised 41,508,189, warrants on a cashless basis, resulting in the issuance of 37,449,140 shares of Common Stock. Estimated fair value of the exercised warrants immediately before the exercise was $219,034,621. Estimated fair value of warrants outstanding at September 30, 2020 was $1,622,995. During the three months ended September 30, 2020 the Company recognized revaluation gain associated with all warrants issued to the note holders and placement agent of $1,556,574. The fair values of derivative warrants attached to the 2020 Convertible Notes were determined based on Level 3 inputs, using the Black-Scholes-Merton model with standard valuation inputs. The valuation inputs used to value the warrants at March 31, 2020 included expected volatility of 89.91%, and annual interest rate of 0.37%. The valuation inputs for the warrants outstanding at September 30, 2020 included expected volatility of 112.83%, and annual risk-free interest rate of .26%. On May 15, 2020 stockholders of the Company approved the reduction of all previously issued warrants held by the 2020 Convertible Notes holders exercise price to $0.21. The repricing of the warrants resulted in a deemed dividend of $1,840,384, which was charged to additional paid in capital for warrants issued in connection with prior equity instruments and a warrant repricing loss of $744,321 recorded in Company’s consolidated statements of operations, if the warrants were issued in connection with prior debt transaction. All warrants were repriced using standard Black-Scholes-Merton valuation model. The valuation inputs for warrant repricing exercise included expected volatility varying between 98.56% and 203.81% and annual risk-free interest rate of approximately 0.2%. During the three months ended September 30, 2020, certain warrant holders exercised 16,670 warrants for shares of Common Stock at $3.30 per share in cash. On May 25, 2020, the Company issued to an individual and his management company 2,284,172 warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock at $1.39 per share for his involvement with the production and distribution of a television series being developed by the Company. The warrants have a 10-year term and are fully vested upon issuance. The warrants become immediately exercisable in whole upon the earlier of May 21, 2021 or the first date the series is exhibited on television or is otherwise available for viewing through a streaming service or otherwise on the internet. The Company anticipates the warrants will become exercisable by December 31, 2020. The warrants were valued at $3,174,806 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The warrants were issued as an advance payment against participation amounts that will become due to the individual upon the performance of the series. The warrants are being accounted as non-employee compensation expense which has been recorded as prepaid participation expense over the expected exercise period. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recorded $1,327,646 and $1,847,160 as prepaid participation expense. The valuation inputs for the warrants included expected volatility of 253.01%, and annual risk-free interest rate of 0.7%.
