Common Stock
 
Holders of common stock have equal rights to receive dividends when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors, out of funds legally available therefor. Holders of common stock have
one
vote for each share held of record and do
not
have cumulative voting rights.
 
Holders of common stock are entitled, upon liquidation of the Company, to share ratably in the net assets available for distribution, subject to the rights, if any, of holders of any preferred stock then outstanding. Shares of common stock are
not
redeemable and have
no
preemptive or similar rights. All outstanding shares of common stock are fully paid and nonassessable.
 
 
 
Issuances of Common Stock
  
See Note N for common stock issued as commitment fees for notes payable during the
2019
fiscal year. 
 
On
August 22, 2018,
the Company entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Maxim Group LLC (the “Underwriter”) with respect to the issuance and sale of an aggregate of
1,200,000
units (“Units”) with each unit consisting of
one
share of common stock and a warrant to purchase
0.75
shares of common stock at an exercise price of
$1.50
per share, in an underwritten public offering pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement. Each Unit was sold for a price of
$1.50.
The Warrants have a term of
five
years and are immediately exercisable. Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Company granted the Underwriters a
45
-day option to purchase up to an additional
180,000
shares of Common Stock and/or
135,000
Warrants to cover over-allotments, if any (the “Over-Allotment”). On
August 22, 2018,
the Underwriter exercised its Over-Allotment option in full on both the Common Stock and the Warrants. Pursuant to this agreement,
1,380,000
shares of common stock and warrants to purchase
1,035,000
shares of stock were issued on
August 24, 2018
for aggregate gross proceeds of
$2,070,000.
The gross proceeds were reduced by a
7%
commission (
$144,900
) and
$50,000
of underwriting expenses to net to
$1,875,100
cash received.
 
Costs of
$143,945
were incurred during
2018
in relation to the issuance of common stock.
 
Also see preferred stock section above for conversions of shares of preferred stock and accrued dividends into shares of common stock in
2018.
 
Issuances to Directors, Executive Officers & Consultants
 
During the year ended
December 31, 2019,
the Company issued
36,897
shares of common stock to its directors in lieu of payment of board fees, valued at
$35,013.
 
During the year ended
December 31, 2018,
the Company issued
20,976
shares of common stock to its directors in lieu of payment of board fees, valued at
$37,532.
 
Employees’ exercise options
 
During
2019
and
2018,
no
employee stock options were exercised.
 
Securities Purchase Agreement dated
November 13, 2014
 
Pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated
November 13, 2014,
by and between the Company and a number of private and institutional investors, the Company issued to certain private investors
664,584
shares of common stock and warrants to purchase an additional
996,877
shares of common stock for aggregate gross proceeds of
$1,595,000.
  
The warrants had a term of
five
years and an initial exercise price of
$3.60
per share, and were fully exercisable since
February 2015.
The warrants had customary anti-dilution protections including a “full ratchet” anti-dilution adjustment provision which are triggered in the event the Company sells or grants any additional shares of common stock, options, warrants or other securities that are convertible into common stock at a price lower than
$3.60
per share. The anti-dilution adjustment provision was
not
triggered by certain “exempt issuances” which among other issuances, includes the issuance of shares of common stock, options or other securities to officers, employees, directors, consultants or service providers.
 
On
August 24, 2018
the Company issued Common Stock and Warrants to investors at a purchase price of
$1.50
per unit which triggered the anti-dilution protection provision under this Securities Purchase Agreement. As a result, the total number of outstanding and fully vested warrants was increased from
996,877
to
2,392,502,
and the exercise price was reduced from
$3.60
to
$1.50
per share. The Company recognized a non-cash deemed dividend of
$1,288,139
in
2018
in connection with these adjustments.
 
The warrants expired in
November 2019.
 
Securities Purchase Agreement dated
September 23, 2015
 
On 
September 23, 2015, 
the Company issued a warrant to purchase 
69,445
 shares of common stock in connection with the issuance of a promissory note. The warrants are immediately exercisable at an initial exercise price of 
$3.60
per share and have a term of 
five
 years. 
 
The warrants have customary anti-dilution protections including a "full ratchet" anti-dilution adjustment provision which are triggered in the event the Company sells or
 
grants any additional shares of common stock, options, warrants or other securities that are convertible into common stock at a price lower than 
$3.60
 per share. The anti-dilution adjustment provision was 
not
 triggered by certain "exempt issuances" which among other issuances, includes the issuance of shares of common stock, options or other securities to officers, employees, directors, consultants or service providers.
 
On
August 24, 2018
the Company issued Common Stock and Warrants to the investors at a purchase price of
$1.50
per unit which triggered the anti-dilution protection provision under this Securities Purchase Agreement. As a result, the total number of outstanding and fully vested warrants was increased from
69,445
to
166,668,
and the exercise price was reduced from
$3.60
to
$1.50
per share. The Company recognized a non-cash deemed dividend of
$140,827
in
2018
in connection with these adjustments.  
 
In
February 2020,
the Company entered into a convertible note at a conversion price of
$1.15
that triggered the anti-dilution feature under Securities Purchase Agreement dated
September 23, 2015.
Additionally, the Company entered into an amendment (as discussed in Note N) that reduced the conversion price of the Amended Note to
$0.65,
thus triggering the anti-dilution feature under the Securities Purchase Agreement dated
September 23, 2015.
In the
first
quarter of
2020,
the total number of outstanding and fully vested warrants will increase, the exercise price will ultimately reduce to
$0.65
per share, and the Company will record a non-cash deemed dividend in connection with both triggering events.
