Ordinary Shares

The Company is authorized to issue up to 50,000,000 ordinary shares, par value $0.001 per share. On January 26, 2018, MDJM issued 10,380,000 ordinary shares to entities controlled by the shareholders of Mingda Tianjin.

Pursuant to a registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and declared effective by the SEC on November 13, 2018, the Company completed the first closing of the Initial Public Offering (the “IPO”) of its ordinary shares on December 26, 2018. A total of 1,241,459 ordinary shares were sold at a price of $5 per share to the public at the first closing. The Company received a total of $6,207,295 in gross proceeds from its first closing of the IPO. In connection with this public offering, the Company incurred direct offering costs of $2,103,816, which included audit, legal, consulting, commission, and other expenses. Per ASC 505, the Company classified these direct offering costs in the equity section to offset additional paid in capital.

On January 4, 2019, the Company completed the second closing of its IPO. A total of 19,361 additional ordinary shares were issued at a price of $5 per share. The total proceeds of this second closing were $96,805. There was a total of $26,399 direct cost in connection with the second closing.

On August 20, 2020, the Board of Directors of MDJM approved to offer and sell an aggregate of 34,396 ordinary shares at $3.3 per share in reliance on the exemption under Rule 902 of Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Regulation S”). The proceeds are intended for working capital and general corporate purposes. The offering was closed on August 20, 2020 and the Company received gross proceeds of $113,507.

Underwriter Warrants

Pursuant to the IPO Agreement (defined below), the Company agreed to grant the underwriter of its IPO, Network 1 Financial Securities, Inc., underwriter warrants equal to 10% of the total number of the Company’s ordinary shares being sold in the IPO, at the closing of the IPO. The underwriter’s warrants were non-exercisable for six months after the closing of the offering and will expire five years after the effective date of the registration statement. The underwriter’s warrants are exercisable at a price of $6.25, equal to 125% of $5, the public offering price in the IPO. The underwriter’s warrants are not redeemable. The underwriter’s warrants provide for cashless exercise and contain provisions for on demand registration of the sale of the underlying ordinary shares at the Company’s expense and unlimited “piggyback” registration rights for a period of five years after the closing of the IPO at the Company’s expense. The Company sold 1,241,459 and 19,361 ordinary shares at the closings of its IPO on December 26, 2018, and January 4, 2019, respectively. A total of 126,082 underwriter’s warrants were issued on January 4, 2019. The underwriter’s warrants expired on November 13, 2023.

The underwriter’s warrants were valued at $1.51 per warrant using Black-Scholes Model. A risk-free rate of 4.35% per annum and volatility of 35% were used in the Black-Scholes Model calculation. The total value of underwriter warrants amounted to $190,384. The underwriter warrants were classified as equity and credit to the additional paid-in capital-underwriter cost account, which was offset by the same amount recorded as additional paid-in capital-underwriter cost.
