The Company’s cash equivalents and restricted cash held as certificates of deposit are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices in active markets, broker or dealer quotations, or alternative pricing sources with reasonable levels of price transparency.

 

The Secured Convertible Notes and Unsecured Convertible Notes (see Note 13, “Convertible Notes”) are carried at proceeds, net of discounts, which management believes approximates fair value. As a result of certain call and put options within the Secured Convertible Notes and Unsecured Convertible Notes, the Company recorded an embedded derivative liability on its consolidated balance sheets with a corresponding debt discount which is netted against the face value of the Secured Convertible Notes and Unsecured Convertible Notes. The fair value of the embedded derivatives were calculated using the Black Scholes valuation model using Level 2 inputs of the fair value hierarchy.

 

The fair value of the December 2023 Warrants issued in conjunction with the 2023 Warrant Reprice Transaction as well as the accounting for the warrant amendment and preferred stock conversion price adjustments that resulted from the 2023 Warrant Reprice Transaction were classified within Level 2. The fair value of the March 2024 Warrant issued in conjunction with the 2024 Subsidiary Guarantee Termination was classified within Level 2.

 

See Note 14, “Common Stock Warrants and Warrant Liabilities,” subheading “Summary of Common Stock Warrant Liabilities,” for a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances for the warrant liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

 

Black Scholes Valuation Models and Assumptions

 

The Company utilizes a Black Scholes model for various valuations as outlined throughout this annual report. The following tables summarize the assumptions utilized for valuations impacting results for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023. See also Note 16, “Equity-Based Compensation” for related Black Scholes valuation assumptions.

 

Warrant Liabilities

 

Various of the Company’s warrants have been subject to stockholder approval upon issuance or amendment and prior to exercise. Warrants requiring stockholder approval are recorded as a liability at fair value upon issuance or amendment and continue to be recorded as a liability at fair value at each reporting date until stockholder approval occurs at which time they are transferred to stockholders’ equity at their fair value on the date of approval. Fair value was determined using a Black Scholes model as outlined below. See Note 14, “Common Stock Warrants and Warrant Liabilities” for additional information and the definitions of the Company’s warrants.

Warrant Modifications

 

Amendments to warrant terms are recorded as a non-cash gain (or loss) on modification of common stock warrants. The gain or loss represents the decrease or increase in the fair value of the amended warrants when comparing the value immediately before and after amendment using the Black Scholes option pricing model. Fair value was determined using a Black Scholes model as outlined below.

Warrant Down Round Feature Adjustment

 

Terms of the Company’s outstanding 2024 July Warrants included a down round feature adjustment whereby the applicable exercise price was automatically adjusted (see Note 11, “Financing Activities”). When the exercise price was adjusted, the Company recorded a deemed dividend as a reduction to income available to common stockholders. In accordance with ASC 820, the deemed dividend is measured as the difference between (1) the fair value of the 2024 July Warrants immediately prior to the conversion price adjustment and (2) the fair value of the 2024 July Warrants immediately after the conversion price adjustment. Fair value was determined using a Black Scholes model, as outlined below.

Preferred Stock Conversion Price Adjustments

 

Terms of the Company’s outstanding Preferred Stock historically included a Ratchet whereby the applicable conversion price could be adjusted (see Note 15, “Stockholders’ Equity”). The applicable Ratchet provisions of the Company’s outstanding Preferred Stock terminated during the quarter ended March 31, 2024. When a conversion price was adjusted under the Ratchet, the Company recorded a deemed dividend as a reduction to income available to common stockholders. In accordance with ASC 820, the deemed dividend is measured as the difference between (1) the fair value of the Preferred Stock immediately prior to the conversion price adjustment (but without the anti-dilution protection feature) and (2) the fair value of the Preferred Stock immediately after the conversion price adjustment (but without the anti-dilution protection feature). Fair value was determined using a Black Scholes model as outlined below.

Bifurcatable Derivatives

 

Upon issuance in March 2024, the Unsecured Convertible Notes contained a lender’s conversion option which represented an embedded call option requiring bifurcation as an embedded derivative liability at fair value (see Note 13, “Convertible Notes” for additional discussion).
