May 2023 Convertible Note

 

On May 23, 2023, the Company entered into securities purchase agreements with Mast Hill Fund, L.P. (“Mast Hill”) for the issuance of 13.0% senior secured promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $1,500,000 (collectively, the “May 2023 Convertible Note”) convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock, as well as the issuance of 75,000 shares of common stock as a commitment fee and warrants for the purchase of 230,500 shares of common stock of the Company. The Company and its subsidiaries also entered into a security agreement, creating a security interest in certain property of the Company and its subsidiaries to secure the prompt payment, performance and discharge in full of all of the Company’s obligations under the May 2023 Convertible Note. Principal amount and interest under the May 2023 Convertible Note were convertible into shares of common stock of the Company at a conversion price of $4.50 per share unless the Company failed to make an amortization payment when due, in which case the conversion price would be the lower of $4.50 or the trading price of the shares, subject to a floor of $1.50.

 

Mast Hill acquired the May 2023 Convertible Note with principal amount of $1,500,000 and paid the purchase price of $1,425,000 after an original issue discount of $75,000. On May 23, 2023, the Company issued (i) a warrant to purchase 125,000 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $4.50 exercisable until the five-year anniversary of May 23, 2023 (“First Warrant”), (ii) a warrant to purchase 105,500 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $3.20 exercisable until the five-year anniversary of May 23, 2023 (“Second Warrant”).The Second Warrant was never fair valued and was cancelled and extinguished against payment of the May 2023 Convertible Note, and (iii) 75,000 shares of common stock as a commitment fee for the purchase of the May 2023 Convertible Note, which were earned in full as of May 23, 2023. On May 23, 2023, the Company delivered such duly executed May 2023 Convertible Note, warrants and common stock to Mast Hill against delivery of such purchase price.

 

The Company was obligated to make amortization payments in cash to Mast Hill toward the repayment of the May 2023 Convertible Note, as described in the May 2023 Convertible Note. As of June 30, 2024, the May 2023 Convertible Note was repaid in full.

 

In connection with the issuance of the May 2023 Convertible Note, the Company incurred debt issuance costs of $175,162 (including the issuance of 10,000 warrants as a finder’s fee) which was capitalized and had been amortized into interest expense over the term of the May 2023 Convertible Note.

 

Based upon the Company’s analysis of the criteria contained in ASC 815, the Company determined that all the warrants issued to Mast Hill and a third party as a finder’s fee meet the definition of a derivative liability, as the Company cannot avoid a net cash settlement under certain circumstances. Through life of the May 2023 Convertible Note, management determined the probability of failing to make an amortization payment when due was remote and as such the estimated fair value of the 105,500 warrants with an exercise price of $3.20, which warrant was cancelled and extinguished against payment of the May 2023 Convertible Note, was zero. Accordingly, the fair value of the 135,000 warrants with an exercise price of $4.50 exercisable until the five-year anniversary of May 23, 2023 was classified as derivative liability on May 23, 2023. The fair values of the 135,000 warrants with an exercise price of $4.50 exercisable until the five-year anniversary of May 23, 2023 issued on May 23, 2023 were computed using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions: stock price of $1.96, volatility of 88.80%, risk-free rate of 3.76%, annual dividend yield of 0% and expected life of 5 years.

 

In accordance with ASC 470-20-25-2, proceeds from the sale of a debt instrument with stock purchase warrants were allocated to the two elements based on the relative fair values of the debt instrument without the warrants and of the warrants themselves at time of issuance. The portion of the proceeds allocated to the warrants were accounted for as derivative liability. The remainder of the proceeds were allocated to the debt instrument portion of the transaction.

 

In accordance with ASC 480-10-25-14, the Company determined that the conversion provisions contain an embedded derivative feature and the Company valued the derivative feature separately, recording debt discount and derivative liability in accordance with the provisions of the convertible debt (see Note 7). However, through life of the May 2023 Convertible Note, management determined the probability of failing to make an amortization payment when due was remote and as such the estimated fair value of the embedded conversion feature was zero.

 

The Company recorded a total debt discount of $349,654 related to the original issue discount, common shares issued and warrants issued to Mast Hill, which had been amortized over the term of the May 2023 Convertible Note.

  

For the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, amortization of debt discount and debt issuance costs related to the May 2023 Convertible Note amounted to $86,489 and $44,715, respectively, which have been included in interest expense — amortization of debt discount and debt issuance cost on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Accordingly, the fair value of the 44,998 warrants with an exercise price of $4.50 exercisable until the five-year anniversary of July 6, 2023 was classified as a derivative liability on July 6, 2023.

Through life of the March 2024 Convertible Note, management determined the probability of failing to make an amortization payment when due was remote and as such the estimated fair value of the 121,154 warrants with an exercise price of $1.30, which warrant was cancelled and extinguished against payment of the March 2024 Convertible Note, was zero. Accordingly, the fair value of the 141,750 warrants with an exercise price of $2.00 exercisable until the five-year anniversary of March 7, 2024 was classified as derivative liability on March 7, 2024.

However, through life of the March 2024 Convertible Note, management determined the probability of failing to make an amortization payment when due was remote and as such the estimated fair value of the embedded conversion feature was zero.

The Company is obligated to make amortization payments in cash to Mast Hill toward the repayment of the June 2024 Convertible Note, as provided in the following table:

 

Payment Date:   Payment Amount:
December 5, 2024   $284,500 plus accrued interest through December 5, 2024

Based upon the Company’s analysis of the criteria contained in ASC 815, the Company determined that all the warrants issued to Mast Hill and a third party as a finder’s fee meet the definition of a derivative liability, as the Company cannot avoid a net cash settlement under certain circumstances. Management determined the probability of failing to make an amortization payment when due to be remote and as such the fair value of the 1,200,000 warrants with an exercise price of $0.50 exercisable until the five-year anniversary of June 5, 2024, which warrant shall be cancelled and extinguished against payment of the June 2024 Convertible Note, has been estimated to be zero. Accordingly, the fair value of the 1,080,000 warrants with an exercise price of $0.65 exercisable until the five-year anniversary of June 5, 2024 was classified as derivative liability on June 5, 2024. The fair values of the 1,080,000 warrants with an exercise price of $0.65 exercisable until the five-year anniversary of June 5, 2024 issued on June 5, 2024 were computed using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions: stock price of $0.69, volatility of 85.72%, risk-free rate of 4.31%, annual dividend yield of 0% and expected life of 5 years.

 

In accordance with ASC 470-20-25-2, proceeds from the sale of a debt instrument with stock purchase warrants are allocated to the two elements based on the relative fair values of the debt instrument without the warrants and of the warrants themselves at time of issuance. The portion of the proceeds allocated to the warrants are accounted for as derivative liability. The remainder of the proceeds are allocated to the debt instrument portion of the transaction.
