Stock Options

The following table summarizes the activity relating to the Company’s stock options for the nine months ended March 31, 2019:

  Options   Weighted-Average Exercise Price   Weighted Remaining Average Contractual Term   Aggregate Intrinsic Value
       
       
       
       
Outstanding at June 30, 2018 5,150,000    $                 0.12   5.8    $                     -   
Granted 2,100,000    $                 0.04   4.6    $             88,370
Options Exercised or Forfeited                         -       $                     -      -    $                     -   
Outstanding at March 31, 2019 7,250,000    $                 0.10   5.3    $           166,175
Exercisable at March 31, 2019 6,250,000    $                 0.10   5.3    $                     -   

 

The fair value of each option grant on the date of grant is estimated using the Black-Scholes Option – Pricing model reflecting the following weighted-average assumptions:

  March 31,
  2019   2018
Expected life of options (In years) 5   5
Expected volatility 69.77%   69.66%
Risk free interest rate 2.60%   1.59%
Dividend Yield 0%   0%

 

Expected volatility is based on the historical volatilities of three comparable companies of the daily closing price of their respective common stock and the expected life of options is based on historical data with respect to employee exercise periods. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they are incurred.

The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $43,609 and $63,306 for the three-and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2019, respectively, and $152,062 and $191,835 for the three-and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2018, respectively.

The fair value of options vested during the nine-month period ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, was $10,235 and $25,281 respectively.

As of March 31, 2019, there was approximately $1,555 of unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested options granted which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1 months.

The following is a summary of stock options outstanding and exercisable by exercise price as of March 31, 2019:

    Weighted Average Contract Life  
     
     
Exercise Price Outstanding Exercisable
 $                       0.03 700,000 4.8 700,000
 $                       0.05 1,300,000 4.6 1,300,000

Offerings of Common Stock and Warrants

Issuance of Shares for Cash

On July 3, 2018, BioVie Inc., the Company, entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Acuitas Group Holdings, LLC (“Acuitas”) and certain other purchasers identified in the Purchase Agreement (together with Acuitas, the “Purchasers”) pursuant to which (i) the Purchasers agreed to purchase an aggregate of 2,133,332 shares of the Company’s newly created Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock”) at a price per share of $1.50 per share of Preferred Stock (the “Initial Sale”) and (ii) the Company will issue associated warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase 213,333,200 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock (the “Common Stock”), each subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement, for an aggregate consideration of $3.2 million. The Company received $160,000 of the $3.2 million in April and May 2018 as prepaid equity. Acuitas also received an additional 833,333 Warrants in connection with the payoff of a note issued by the Company in favor of Acuitas. The Initial Sale and issuance of the Warrants occurred on July 3, 2018. In addition, Acuitas has the option to purchase up to an additional 200,000,000 shares of Common Stock at a price per share of $0.015, and associated warrants on the same terms as the Warrants, within two weeks following the one year anniversary of the closing of the Initial Sale (the “Subsequent Sale”) in the event that the Company has not obtained $3,000,000 of funding through various non-dilutive grants prior to the one year anniversary of the closing of the Initial Sale.

Each share of Preferred Stock automatically converted into 100 shares of Common Stock upon the filing with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada of a Certificate of Amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation (the “Amendment”) on August 13, 2018 that increased the number of authorized shares of Common Stock to 800,000,000. The Amendment was approved by the written consent of the holders of more than a majority of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Stock on July 3, 2018 and was filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada 20 calendar days following the distribution of the Company’s Definitive Information that was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The purchase price of the Preferred Stock in the Initial Sale, the exercise price of the Warrants, and the Common Stock in the Subsequent Sale is subject to adjustment. In the event that Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals Ireland Limited prevails in any proceeding which results in the useful life of the Company’s current intellectual property rights being reduced by more than 75 percent, then the price per share of Common Stock, the associated conversion ratio of the Preferred Stock, and the exercise price of the Warrants shall be retroactively adjusted to 50 percent of the then-effective price per share of Common Stock under the Purchase Agreement (for example, if the then-effective price per share of Common Stock is $0.015, then following such event, the price per share will be $0.0075). In this case, the Company may be required to issue additional shares of Common Stock, but in no event will the Company be required to pay cash, to reflect such lower price per share.

The Purchase Agreement contained customary representations and warranties. In connection with the disclosure schedule associated with the representations and warranties, the Company also disclosed customary information, including the following: (i) the existence of the Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals Ireland Limited petition before the US Patent Trial and Appeal Board, (ii) the current capitalization of the Company, (iii) the Company’s obligation to pay a low single digit royalty on the net sales of BIV201 (continuous infusion terlipressin) to be shared among LAT Pharma LLC members, PharmaIN Corporation and The Barrett Edge, Inc. pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated April 11, 2016, by and between LAT Pharma LLC and the Company, (iv) the Company’s obligation to pay a low single digit royalty on net sales of all terlipressin products covered by specified patents up to a maximum of $200,000 per year pursuant to the Technology Transfer Agreement, dated July 25, 2016, by and between the Company and the University of Padova (Italy), and (v) certain recent issuances of Common Stock by the Company.

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Terren Peizer, the Chairman of Acuitas, was appointed as a member of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) and as the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, effective July 3, 2018. The issuance of the Preferred Stock, the Warrants and the underlying common stock under the Purchase Agreement is exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to the exemption for transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

Warrant Price Adjustment

In December 2017, the Company issued warrants to purchase 2,500,000 shares of common stock in a private placement transaction for aggregate gross proceeds of $100,000. The warrants were exercisable at an exercise price of $0.20 at any time from date of issuance until 7 years from the date of issuance. The warrants have a down round feature that reduces the exercise price if the Company sells stock for a lower price. In January 2018, the Company sold shares at $0.15, which therefore triggered the reduction in the strike price. The Company calculated the difference in fair value of the warrants between the stated exercise price and the reduced exercise price and recorded $20,995 as a deemed dividend. In July 2018, the Company sold shares at $0.015, which therefore triggered the reduction in the strike price. The Company calculated the difference in fair value of the warrants between the stated exercise price and the reduced exercise price and recorded $44,889 as a deemed dividend. The fair value of the warrants granted was estimated using the Black Scholes Method.

The warrants have a down round feature that reduces the exercise price if the Company sells stock for a lower price. In July 2018, the Company sold shares at $0.015, which therefore triggered the reduction in the strike price. The Company calculated the difference in fair value of the warrants between the stated exercise price and the reduced exercise price and recorded $3,770 as a deemed dividend.
