      Holders of Series A Preferred Stock were entitled to receive cumulative dividends at a rate of 5% per annum, based on the stated value per share of the Series A Preferred Stock, which was initially $1,000 per share. Dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock were payable quarterly on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year, beginning on March 31, 2013, and on each conversion date (with respect to the shares of Series A Preferred Stock being converted). Until September 13, 2013, dividends were payable only in cash. Thereafter, dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock became payable, at the option of the Company, in cash and/or, if certain conditions are satisfied (including, among others, that the volume weighted average trading price for the Common Stock on its principal trading market is equal to or greater than 110% of the then current conversion price for the Series A Preferred Stock for five consecutive trading days prior to the dividend payment date), in shares of Common Stock, valued at the then current conversion price of the Series A Preferred Stock. The Company incurred a late fee of 9% per annum, payable in cash, on dividends that are not paid within three trading days of the applicable dividend payment date. During the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 the Company paid an aggregate of $0 and $5,731 and accrued a cash dividend in the amount of $18,454 and $9,219, respectively, in cash dividends to its Series A Preferred Stockholders. As a result of the Forced Conversion which occurred on December 31, 2018, the Company issued 109,302 shares of Common Stock to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, in lieu of the accrued dividends (for the six months ended December 31,2017 and for the year ended December 31, 2018).
       
      The Company was obligated to redeem the Series A Preferred Stock in cash upon the occurrence of certain triggering events, including, among others, a material breach by the Company of certain contractual obligations to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, the occurrence of a change in control of the Company, the occurrence of certain insolvency events relating to the Company, or the failure of the Common Stock to continue to be listed or quoted for trading on one or more specified United States securities exchanges or a regulated quotation service. In addition, upon the occurrence of certain triggering events, each holder of Series A Preferred Stock had the option to require the Company to redeem such holder’s shares of Series A Preferred Stock for a redemption price payable in shares of Common Stock or receive an increased dividend rate of 9% on all of such holder’s outstanding Series A Preferred Stock. As a result of the Forced Conversion which occurred on December 31, 2018, the Company issued 6,148 shares of Common Stock to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, in lieu of the interest due for late payment.
       
      Subject to certain conditions, the Company had the option to force the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock (in whole or in part) if the volume weighted average price for the Common Stock on its principal trading market exceeded $11.60 for each of any 20 trading days during any 30 consecutive Trading Day period and the average daily dollar trading value for the Common Stock during such 30 day period exceeded $100,000.

   

      If the Company failed to timely deliver certificates for shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock (the “Series A Conversion Shares”) and, as a result, the holder was required by its brokerage firm to purchase shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such holder of the Series A Conversion Shares (a “Buy-In”), the Company was required to: (a) pay the converting holder in cash an amount equal to the amount, if any, by which such holder’s total purchase price (including any brokerage commissions) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds the product of (i) the aggregate number of Series A Conversion Shares due to the holder, multiplied by (ii) the actual sale price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed (including any brokerage commissions); and (b) at the option of such holder, either reissue (if surrendered) the shares of Series A Preferred Stock equal to the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock submitted for conversion (in which case, such conversion will be deemed rescinded) or deliver to such holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued if the Company had timely complied with its delivery requirements.
       
      In addition, the Company was required to pay partial liquidated damages of $10 for each $1,000 of stated value of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock’ which have been converted by a holder and in respect of which the Company failed to deliver Series A Conversion Shares by the eighth trading day following the applicable conversion date.
       
      The conversion price of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock that were included in the Series A Units was subject to adjustment for certain issuances of Common Stock or other securities of the Company at an effective price per share that is lower than the conversion price then in effect ( $4.50 per share at December 31, 2017), as well as for stock splits, stock dividends, combinations of shares, similar recapitalization transactions and certain pro-rata distributions to common stockholders.

If the Company fails to timely deliver certificates for shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants (the “Warrant Shares”) and, as a result, the holder is required by its brokerage firm to purchase shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such holder of the Warrant Shares (a “Buy-In”), the Company will be required to: (a) pay in cash to the holder the amount, if any, by which (i) the holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (ii) the amount obtained by multiplying (1) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the holder in connection with the exercise at issue times (2) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed; and (b) at the option of such holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored (in which case such exercise shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations.

 

In connection with the sale of the Units which occurred in 2017 and 2018, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the Purchasers (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) pursuant to which, subject to certain exceptions, the Company has agreed to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, no later than 90 days after the final issuance of Units, a registration statement covering the resale of all of (a) the Shares, (b) the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants in full (the “Warrant Shares”); (c) any additional shares of Common Stock issuable in connection with any anti-dilution provisions in the Warrants; and (d) any securities issued or then issuable upon any stock split, dividend or other distribution, recapitalization or similar event with respect to the foregoing. Subject to certain exceptions and limitations specified in the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company will be required to pay each holder monthly partial liquidated damages in the amount of 2% of the aggregate purchase price paid by such holder pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, if the Company fails to timely file a registration statement; timely file a request for acceleration of a registration statement; timely respond to SEC comments with respect to a registration statement; obtain the effectiveness of a registration statement within 120 days from the filing thereof; or maintain the effectiveness of a registration statement for the periods required under the Registration Rights Agreement.

 

     
    In connection with the 2017 Offering the Company incurred a total of $1,209,144 of issuance costs of which $394,256 attributable to non-cash compensation expenses relating to warrants issued to the Placement Agent (See Notes 9C and Note 10D). The allocation method of the issuance proceeds to the Series D Common Stock and to the detachable Series D Warrants and their respective issuance costs was based on the relative fair value of suchinstallments.
     
    Pursuant to the purchase agreements relating to the issuance and sale of the Series A Units the Series Units and Series Units, the Company was required to and did notify the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock and Series and the C Preferred Stock of the closing of the sale of the Series D Units, and following receipt thereof such holders of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock and the Series C preferred Stock were entitled, pursuant to the “most favored nation” provisions contained in their respective purchase agreements, to elect to amend the terms of their Series A Units, Series B Units and Series C units, respectively, to match the terms of the Series D Units. The Company was obligated to amend the terms of any of Series A Units or Series B Units or Series C units who timely makes such election and tenders its Series A Units or Series B Units or Series C units for exchange.
     
    Upon initial recognition, common stock issued together with detachable Series D Warrants (classified as equity) were measured based on the relative fair value basis and were presented each net of the direct issuance expenses that were allocated to them.
     
  C. Warrants with down round protection
     
    The placement agent Warrants (hereinafter “warrants”) have a five-year term commencing on their issuance date. In accordance with their original terms, the Warrants are exercisable at any time at a certain exercise price. These Warrants contain adjustment provisions substantially similar to the adjustment provisions of the Series A Preferred Stock (See Note 10A.2), including provisions requiring an adjustment of the number of shares and the exercise price to the price at which the Company subsequently issues share or other equity-linked financial instruments, if that price is less than the original exercise price of the Warrants (down-round protection). In addition, the Warrants provide for protection for a Buy-In on substantially the same terms as described above with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock. No holder may exercise its Warrants in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation
     
    As a result of future issuances, the exercise price per share and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of each such warrant were adjusted several times.
     
    On December 31, 2018 as a result of the Forced Conversion all of the outstanding warrants with down round protection were exchanged. As of December 31, 2018, the number of warrants with down round protection is 51,001,332 at an exercise price of $0.258 with a total fair value of approximately $6.6 million.
     

 

       
      The Company has determined its derivative warrant liability to be a Level 3 fair value measurement and has used the Black and Scholes pricing model to calculate its fair value. Because the warrants contain a price protection feature, the probability that the exercise price of the warrants would decrease as the stock price decreased was incorporated into the valuation calculations.
       
      The changes in the fair value of the Level 3 liability are as follows (in US dollars):

  (*) As a result of the early adoption of ASU 2017-11 the company reclassified all the warrants with down round protection to stockholder’s deficit (see Note 2U and 2W)

 

The key inputs used in the fair value calculations were as follows:

Dividend yield (%)     -  
Expected volatility (%) (*)     56.59  
Risk free interest rate (%)     1.31

Share price (US dollars) (**)     2.45  
Fair value (US dollars)     0.002 – 0.81  

 

  (*) Due to the low trading volume of the Company’s Common Stock, the expected volatility was based on a sample of 254 companies operating in the Healthcare Products industry.
  (**) The Common Stock price, per share reflects the Company’s management’s estimation of the fair value per share of Common Stock as of December 31, 2017. In reaching its estimation for such periods, management considered, among other things, a valuation prepared by a third-party valuation firm following the issuance of the Series D Units at December 31, 2017.

    2. Grants to employees
       
      In August 2007, Integrity Israel’s Board of Directors (“Integrity Israel’s Board”) approved a stock option plan (“Integrity Israel’s plan”) for the grant, without consideration of options exercisable into ordinary shares of NIS 0.01 par value of Integrity Israel to employees, officers and directors of Integrity Israel. The exercise price and vesting period for each grantee of options was determined by Integrity Israel’s Board and specified in such grantee’s option agreement. The options vested over a period of 1-12 quarters based on each grantee’s option agreements. Any option not exercised within 10 years after the date of grant thereof will expire.

 

      In July 2010, following the merger with Integrity Israel, the Company adopted the 2010 Share Incentive Plan (the “2010 Share Incentive Plan”), pursuant to which the Company’s Board of Directors is authorized to grant options exercisable into Common Stock of the Company.

      Upon the adoption of the 2010 Share Incentive Plan, all options granted under the Integrity Israel’s Plan were replaced by options subject to the 2010 Share Incentive Plan on a 1 for 1 basis. As of December 31, 2018, there are 3,007,390 shares available for future grants under the 2010 Share Incentive Plan.
