Stockholders' Equity

5. Stockholders’ Equity

Classes of Stock

Common Stock

As of December 31, 2024, the Company was authorized to issue 280,000,000 shares of $0.01 par value common stock. Each share of common stock entitles the holder thereof to one vote on each matter submitted to a vote at a meeting of stockholders.

On April 5, 2024, the Company effected the Reverse Stock Split. Accordingly, the Company’s stockholders received one share of the Company's common stock for every 15 shares of the Company's common stock that each stockholder held immediately prior to the effective time of the Reverse Stock Split. The Reverse Stock Split affected all of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of the Company's common stock equally. The Reverse Stock Split also affected the Company’s outstanding stock-based awards, warrants and other exercisable or convertible securities and resulted in the shares underlying such instruments being reduced and the exercise price or conversion price being increased proportionately by the Reverse Stock Split ratio. No fractional shares were issued as a result of the Reverse Stock Split with any fractional shares that would have otherwise resulted from the Reverse Stock Split paid in cash, at an amount equal to the resulting fractional interest in one share of the Company's common stock that the stockholder would otherwise be entitled, multiplied by the closing trading price of the Company's common stock on April 5, 2024. The amount of cash paid for fractional shares was immaterial to the Company's financial statements.

As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, on April 5, 2024 the number of issued and outstanding shares of the Company's common stock was adjusted from 12,771,015 shares to approximately 851,302 shares.

Preferred Stock

As of December 31, 2024, the Company was authorized to issue 7,000,000 shares of $0.01 par value preferred stock of which 1,000,000 shares have been designated as Series A 4.5% Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series A Convertible Preferred Stock") and 200,000 of which are issued and outstanding. As of December 31, 2024, the Company's Series A Convertible Preferred Stock issued in the amount of 200,000 preferred stock shares is convertible into 8 shares of common stock.

Recent Equity Offerings

December 2024 Offering

On December 12, 2024, the Company entered into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell, in an underwritten public offering by the Company (the “December 2024 Offering”), (a) 158,000 Class A Units at a public offering price of $1.525 per Class A Unit (the

“Class A Units”), with each Class A Unit consisting of (i) one share of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share, and (ii) one warrant to purchase one share of the Company's common stock at an exercise price per share of $1.40 and a term of five years from the date of issuance (“December 2024 Offering Common Stock Warrant”) and (b) 3,120,688 Class B Units at a public offering price of $1.5249 per Class B Unit (the “Class B Units”, and collectively with the Class A Units, the “Units”), with each Class B Unit consisting of (i) one pre-funded warrant to purchase one share of the Company's common stock being immediately exercisable, having an exercise price of $0.0001 per share, and a perpetual term (“December 2024 Offering Pre-funded Common Stock Warrant”) and (ii) one December 2024 Offering Common Stock Warrant. In addition, pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Company granted the sole underwriter a 45-day option (the “Overallotment Option”) to purchase up to 491,803 additional shares of the Company's common stock and/or December 2024 Offering Common Stock Warrants. The Overallotment Option expired and was not exercised by the underwriter.

The Company issued warrants to representatives of the sole underwriter in the December 2024 Offering to purchase an aggregate 196,721 shares of common stock (the “December 2024 Representative Warrants”). The December 2024 Representative Warrants have substantially the same terms as the December 2024 Offering Common Stock Warrants, except that the exercise price of each of the December 2024 Representative Warrants is $2.51625 per share. The fair value of the December 2024 Offering Common Stock Warrants was recognized by the Company as an equity issuance cost which reduced the additional paid-in capital recognized from the December 2024 Offering.

The December 2024 Offering closed on December 13, 2024 for net cash proceeds to the Company of approximately $4.1 million, consisting of gross cash proceeds of $5.0 million less cash equity issuance costs of approximately $0.9 million, which excludes the grant date fair value of the December 2024 Representative Warrants of approximately $0.3 million and the incremental fair value of the Repriced Warrants of approximately $0.3 million, described below.

On December 12, 2024, the Company entered into a warrant amendment agreement (the “Warrant Amendment Agreement”) whereby the Company, contemporaneously with and contingent with the closing of the December 2024 Offering, reduced the exercise price of 1,040,217 outstanding common stock warrants (the “Repriced Warrants”) held by an investor that participated in the December 2024 Offering which expire between July 31, 2027 and May 6, 2031. The Repriced Warrants had their exercise price reduced to $1.40 per share. Other than the reduction in exercise price, the terms of the Repriced Warrants remain the same and unchanged.

The Warrant Amendment Agreement is considered a modification of the Repriced Warrants under the guidance of ASC 815-40. The modification is consistent with the Equity Issuance classification under that guidance as the reason for the Company's repricing of the warrants was to meet a condition of the holder's participation in the December 2024 Offering, which raised equity capital and generated gross cash proceeds for the Company of approximately $5.0 million. As pursuant to the guidance of ASC 480 and ASC 815 the Repriced Warrants were classified as equity instruments before and after the modification, and as the modification is directly attributable to an equity offering, the Company recognized the effect of the modification of approximately $0.3 million as an equity issuance cost netted against the additional paid-in capital recognized in the December 2024 Offering. The amount of the equity issuance cost recognized for the modification of the Repriced Warrants was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model as the incremental fair value of the Repriced Warrants as compared to the fair value of the warrants immediately prior to their modification.

May 2024 Offering

On May 1, 2024, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with an institutional investor, pursuant to which the Company sold in a private placement, (i) 85,100 shares of common stock at a purchase price per share of $6.5015, (ii) 530,142 pre-funded warrants to purchase shares common stock at a purchase price of $6.5014 per pre-funded warrant, with such pre-funded warrants being immediately exercisable, having an exercise price of $0.0001 per share, and a perpetual term, and (iii) common stock warrants to purchase 922,863 shares of the common stock at an exercise price of $6.314 per share and a term of seven years from the date of issuance (the "May 2024 Warrants") (collectively, the “May 2024 Offering”).

The Company issued warrants to the placement agent in the May 2024 Offering to purchase an aggregate 36,914 shares of common stock (the “May 2024 Placement Agent Warrants”). The May 2024 Placement Agent Warrants have substantially the same terms as the May 2024 Warrants, except that the exercise price of each of the May 2024 Placement Agent Warrants is $10.727 per share and the term is five years from issuance. The fair value of the May 2024 Placement Agent Warrants was recognized by the Company as an equity issuance cost which reduced the additional paid-in capital recognized from the May 2024 Offering.

The May 2024 Offering closed on May 6, 2024 for net cash proceeds to the Company of approximately $3.5 million, consisting of gross cash proceeds of $4.0 million less cash equity issuance costs of approximately $0.5 million, which excludes the grant date fair value of the May 2024 Placement Agent Warrants of approximately $0.2 million.

Other Recent Equity Offerings

On September 11, 2023, the Company completed a registered direct offering of common stock (the "September 2023 Offering"). Gross cash proceeds from the September 2023 Offering were $2.0 million and net cash proceeds were $1.7 million after deducting cash equity issuance costs of approximately $0.3 million.

On April 3, 2023, the Company completed a registered direct offering and concurrent private placement of common stock and warrants to purchase common stock (the "April 2023 Offering"). Gross cash proceeds from the April 2023 Offering were $6.0 million and net cash proceeds were $5.3 million after deducting cash equity issuance costs of approximately $0.7 million.

On January 4, 2023, the Company completed a registered direct offering and concurrent private placement of common stock and warrants to purchase common stock (the "January 2023 Offering"). Gross cash proceeds from the January 2023 Offering were $2.5 million and net cash proceeds were approximately $2.2 million after deducting cash equity issuance costs of approximately $0.3 million.

Common Stock Warrants and Warrant Exercises

February 2024 Warrant Inducement

On January 30, 2024, the Company entered into warrant inducement agreements (the “Warrant Inducement Agreements”) with certain accredited and institutional holders (collectively, the “Warrant Holders”) of certain of the Company’s remaining outstanding common stock warrants issued on May 10, 2022 (the "May 2022 Warrants"), January 4, 2023 (the “January 2023 Warrants”), and April 5, 2023 (the “April 2023 Warrants”), as well as certain outstanding Series 2 warrants issued on August 16, 2022 (the "Series 2 Warrants") (collectively, the “Existing Warrant(s)”). Pursuant to the Warrant Inducement Agreements, the exercise price of each of the Existing Warrants exercised was reduced to $10.97 per share. Each of the Warrant Holders that exercised its Existing Warrants pursuant to the Warrant Inducement Agreements, received one replacement warrant to purchase one share of the Company's common stock (the “Replacement Warrants”) for each Existing Warrant exercised (in its entirety, the "February 2024 Warrant Inducement").

The Replacement Warrants are exercisable immediately, have an exercise price per share of $10.97, and expire five years from the date of issuance, which was February 1, 2024.

The Warrant Holders collectively exercised an aggregate of 228,162 Existing Warrants consisting of: (i) 4,865 May 2022 Warrants, (ii) 4,267 Series 2 Warrants, (iii) 67,511 January 2023 Warrants, and (iv) 151,519 April 2023 Warrants. As a result of the exercises of the Existing Warrants, the Company issued an aggregate of 228,162 shares of its common stock and 228,162 Replacement Warrants. The February 2024 Warrant Inducement closed on February 1, 2024 with the Company receiving net cash proceeds of approximately $2.2 million consisting of gross cash proceeds of $2.5 million, less cash equity issuance costs of approximately $0.3 million.

The February 2024 Warrant Inducement, which resulted in the lowering of the exercise price of the Existing Warrants and the issuance of the Replacement Warrants, is considered a modification of the Existing Warrants under the guidance of ASC 815-40. The modification is consistent with the Equity Issuance classification under that guidance as the reason for the modification was to induce the holders of the Existing Warrants to cash exercise their Existing Warrants, resulting in the imminent exercise of the Existing Warrants, which raised equity capital and generated gross cash proceeds for the Company of approximately $2.5 million. As pursuant to the guidance of ASC 480 and ASC 815 the Existing Warrants and Replacement Warrants were classified as equity instruments before and after the modification, and as the modification is directly attributable to an equity offering, the Company recognized the effect of the modification of approximately $2.0 million as an equity issuance cost netted against the additional paid-in capital recognized from the associated warrant exercises. The amount of the equity issuance cost recognized for the warrant modification was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model as the incremental fair value of the modified Existing Warrants and additional Replacement Warrants issued as compared to the fair value of the original Existing Warrants immediately prior to their modification.

The solicitation agent fees associated with the February 2024 Warrant Inducement consisted of: (i) a cash fee equal to 7.75% of the gross proceeds received by the Company, (ii) a common stock purchase warrant to purchase such number of shares of common stock equal to 6% of the aggregate number shares issued pursuant to the exercise of the Existing Warrants, with an exercise price of $10.97 per share, and a term of five years from issuance (the "Solicitation Agent Warrants"), and (iii) $35,000 of out-of-pocket expenses. The fair value of the Solicitation Agent Warrants was recognized by the Company as an equity issuance cost, which reduced the additional paid-in capital recognized from the issuance of common stock in connection with the exercise of the Existing Warrants.

Total equity issuance costs recognized in the February 2024 Warrant Inducement of $2.4 million include cash equity issuance costs of $0.3 million, non-cash warrant modification costs of approximately $2.0 million, and non-cash issuance costs associated with the Solicitation Agent Warrants of $0.1 million.
