NOTE 18. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

The Company has evaluated all subsequent events through the filing date of this Form 10-Q with the SEC, to ensure that this filing includes appropriate disclosure of events both recognized in the financial statements as of  March 31, 2023, and events which occurred subsequently but were not recognized in the financial statements. Except as described below there were no other subsequent events which required recognition, adjustment to or disclosure in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

2023 Private Placement

 

On April 27, 2023, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”)  with existing accredited institutional investors (the “Purchasers”) of the Company that provided for the issuance and sale in a private placement (the “2023 Private Placement”) of (i) $3.3 million aggregate principal amount  (the “Aggregate Principal Amount”) of  Original Issue Discount Senior Secured Convertible Debentures Due November 1, 2024 (the “Debentures”) that may be converted or redeemed into up to an aggregate of 2,538,464 shares of Common Stock (the “Conversion Shares”),  (ii) a new long-term Series B-1 warrant exercisable for up to an aggregate of 2,538,464 shares of Common Stock for a five year period (“Long-Term Warrants”), and (iii) a new short-term Series B-2 warrant exercisable for up to an aggregate of 2,538,464 shares of Common Stock for a two year period (“Short-Term Warrants” and, together with the Long-Term Warrants, the “2023 Warrants”). The 2023 Private Placement closed on May 1, 2023 (the “Private Placement Closing”) and the Company received gross proceeds of $3.0 million, before deducting placement agent fees and other offering expenses. Ladenburg served as the Company’s exclusive placement agent in the 2023 Private Placement and received a fee equal to 8% of the total gross proceeds and were reimbursed for certain related expenses in an aggregate amount of $55 thousand.

 

Due to the number of shares of common stock that may be issued upon conversion or redemption of the Debentures and the exercise of the 2023 Warrants, the Company is required to obtain stockholder approval for the issuance of these shares of common stock in accordance with Section 713(a) and 713(b) of the NYSE American Company Guide (the “Stockholder Approval”). The Company is required to promptly hold a meeting of stockholders within sixty (60) days following the Private Placement Closing to seek the Stockholder Approval and the Company intends to submit a proposal for consideration of stockholders at the 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Until the Stockholder Approval is obtained, the conversion of the Debentures by the holders into shares of common stock is currently limited a holder’s pro rata share of 19.99% of the Company’s outstanding shares of Common Stock, or into an aggregate of 438,669 shares (the “Issuable Maximum”) and the 2023 Warrants are not exercisable.

 

At any time after issuance, the Debentures are convertible by the holder, in whole or in part, into shares of common stock at a conversion price equal to $1.30 per share (“Conversion Price”), subject to limitations upon conversion including the Issuable Maximum. Under the terms of the  Debentures, the Company is required to make a monthly redemption of the Debentures (“Monthly Redemption”) beginning on June 1, 2023 equal to 1/18th of the Aggregate Principal Amount multiplied by 1.10 in cash; or, as provided in the Debenture, in shares of common stock at the election of the Company with a conversion rate equal to the lower of (i) the Conversion Price or (ii) 90% of the Company’s average volume-weighted average price over 10 trading days.

 

If any event of default occurs, the outstanding principal amount of the Debentures, plus accrued but unpaid interest, liquidated damages and other amounts owing in respect thereof through the date of acceleration, shall become, at the holder’s election, immediately due and payable in cash. Commencing five days after the occurrence of any event of default that results in the eventual acceleration of the Debentures, the interest rate on the Debentures shall accrue at an interest rate equal to the lesser of 18% per annum and the maximum rate permitted under applicable law. The Debentures are secured obligations of the Company and DERMAdoctor pursuant to the terms of the Security Agreement, dated April 27, 2023 (the “Security Agreement”). Under the terms of the Security Agreement the holders of the Debentures were granted a security interest, a lien upon and a right of set-off against all of the Company’s and DERMAdoctor’s assets as collateral security for the complete, timely payment, performance and discharge of the obligations under the Debentures. To further secure the Company’s obligations under the Debenture, DERMAdoctor also executed a Subsidiary Guarantee (the “Subsidiary Guarantee”), pursuant to which DERMAdoctor is a guarantor of the Company’s obligations owed to the Debenture holders.

 

Warrant Amendments

 

In connection with the closing of the 2023 Private Placement, common stock purchase warrants that the Company previously issued to the Purchasers and to other existing investors in prior private placements and warrant reprice transactions were amended to lower the exercise price of the previously issued warrants exercisable for an aggregate of 1,724,455 shares of Common Stock from $6.30 to $1.30 per share pursuant to Warrant Amendment Agreements entered into by the Company.

 

Anti-Dilution Adjustment to Series B Preferred Stock and the Series C Preferred Stock

 

The Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations for the Company’s outstanding Series B Preferred Stock (the “Series B Certificate of Designation”) and the Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations for the Company’s outstanding Series C Preferred Stock (the “Series C Certificate of Designation”) provides for anti-dilution protections in the event that the Company grants any right to reprice any Company security or issue a new Company security that would entitle the holder to acquire Common Stock at an effective price per share that is lower than the conversion price of the Series B Preferred Stock and the Series C Preferred Stock, which is referred to as “full-ratchet” anti-dilution protection. As a result of the consummation of the 2023 Private Placement, the Conversion Price of the Debentures and the exercise price of the 2023 Warrants at $1.30 per share triggered this anti-dilution protection in the Series B Certificate of Designation and the Series C Certificate of Designation. The conversion price of each share of Series B Preferred Stock and each share of Series C Preferred Stock, which were each $6.30 convertible into 159 shares of Common Stock, were both automatically adjusted downward to $1.30 convertible into 770 shares of Common Stock, resulting in an additional 7,863,570 shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the outstanding Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock.
