PREFERRED STOCK In May 2014, Milestone completed a private placement, which raised gross proceeds of $10 million, from the sale of $3 million of Milestone Scientific common stock ( two million shares at $1.50 per share) and $7 million of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock ("preferred stock") ( 7,000 shares at $1,000 per share). These shares are convertible, at the option of the holder, into the number of shares of common stock equal to the stated value divided by $2.545, subject to anti-dilution adjustments, at any time before May 14, 2019. These shares are mandatory convertible on May 14, 2019, into the number of shares of common stock equal to the stated value divided by $2.545 per share or $1.50 per share if the common stock does not trade at $3.15 for period of time, as defined by the agreements, both subject to anti-dilution adjustment. The conversion ratio and anti-dilution adjustment becomes effective if a triggering event occurs such as; issuance of stock dividends or distributions, subdivisions, splits, issuance of stock purchase rights, debt and distributions, cash dividends or distributions, self-tender offers and exchange offers, rights plans and issuance below the conversion price, as defined in the Investment Agreement. Generally, each share of preferred stock entitles the holder to vote together with the holders of Milestone Scientific common stock, as a single class, on all matters submitted for the approval of the holders of Milestone Scientific common stock and has the number of votes equal to the number of shares of our common stock into which they are then convertible. In addition, preferred stock is also entitled to share, pari passu, in any cash dividends declared on Milestone Scientific common stock on as converted basis. On May 14, 2019, the mandatory conversion date, the Preferred Stock was converted at a rate of $1.17 per common share resulting in the issuances of 5,982,906 shares of common stock. SHARES TO BE ISSUED As of June 30, 2019 2,185,910 shares to be issued to employees were classified as liability until there are sufficient number of authorized shares of common stock to cover the issuance of the shares. As of December 31, 2018, there were 1,908,813 shares, whose issuance has been deferred under the terms of an employment agreements with the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and other employees of Milestone Scientific. Such shares will be issued to each party upon termination of their employment. As of June 30, 2019, 717,456 shares to be issued to non-employees were classified as liability until there are sufficient number of authorized shares of common stock to cover the issuance of the shares. As of December 31, 2018, there were 561,752 shares, respectively, that will be issued to non-employees for services rendered. The number of shares was fixed at the date of grant and were fully vested upon grant date. SHARES AND WARRANTS IN EXCESS OF AUTHORIZED SHARES As a result of the shares and warrants issued in the public and private offerings as well as other issuances of common stock during 2019, the Company does not have a sufficient number of authorized shares of common stock to cover the exercise and issue of approximately 4,850,000 outstanding equity instruments. Therefore, the warrants issued in the public and private placements during 2019 and 2016 are classified as liabilities and will continue to be liability-classified until there are sufficient number of authorized shares of common stock to cover the shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants. As long as the warrants are liability-classified, they will continue to be re-measured each reporting period, with any increase or decrease in value recorded as a loss or gain in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. The fair value of the warrants is determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. The following assumptions were used to value the warrants at the reclassification to liability date:
|  | 2016 Warrants |  |  | 2019 Warrants |
Expected Term |  | 0.4 years |  |  | 5 years |
Volatility |  |  | 100 | % |  |  | 85 | %
Dividend yield |  |  | 0.00 | % |  |  | 0.00 | %
Exercise Price |  | $ | 2.55 |  |  | $ | 0.50 |
Risk-free interest rate |  |  | 2.09 | % |  |  | 2.50 | %
Weighted average fair value of warrants granted |  |  | - |  |  | $ | 0.22 |
Number of shares underlying warrants granted |  |  | 201,044 |  |  |  | 1,749,171 |
As these warrants are liability-classified, they were revalued at June 30, 2019 using the following assumptions:
|  | 2016 Warrants |  |  | 2019 Warrants |
Expected Term |  | 0.4 years |  |  | 4.6 years |
Volatility |  |  | 100 | % |  |  | 84 | %
Dividend yield |  |  | 0.00 | % |  |  | 0.00 | %
Exercise Price |  | $ | 2.55 |  |  | $ | 0.50 |
Risk-free interest rate |  |  | 2.09 | % |  |  | 1.76 | %
Weighted average fair value of warrants granted |  | $ | - |  |  | $ | 0.21 |
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 the gain(loss) on the liability classified warrants was approximately ( $34,000 ) and $6,000, respectively. Additionally, approximately 2,900,000 of shares to be issued are classified as liabilities until there are sufficient number of authorized shares of common stock to cover the issuance of such shares. These shares were valued at the trading price of a share of the Company’s common stock ( $0.36 as of June 30, 2019 ) and they will continue to be re-measured each reporting period, with any increase or decrease in value recorded as a loss or gain in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 the gain(loss) on the liability classified shares to be issued was approximately $47,000, respectively. The Company plans to seek shareholder approval to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock at the next Shareholder’s meeting.
