On June 8, 2021, the Company issued a total of $3,000,000 of 7.5% Senior Secured Convertible Debentures (the “Convertible Debentures”) to Sabby. On August 4, 2021, the Company issued an additional $1,500,000 of Convertible Debentures upon the filing of a registration statement in connection to the IPO, which was filed on July 22, 2021. The Convertible Debentures’ principal amount was convertible, at the holder’s option, into the Company’s Series D Convertible Preferred Stock (Series D) at $1,000 conversion price per share. The Convertible Debenture was automatically converted into Series D upon the effectiveness of an IPO. For the year ended December 31, 2021, interest expense on the Convertible Debentures was $124,829.

 

In connection with the IPO, all of the Company’s outstanding Convertible Debentures automatically converted into 4,500 shares of Series D Preferred Stock on the IPO Date. Subsequently, the holder of the 4,500 outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock exercised their option to convert their shares into 4,500,000 shares of common stock.

 

The Company incurred $729,658 in issuance costs consisting of cash payments and 225,000 warrants (the “Dawson Warrants”) issued to the placement agent for compensation for their services in relation to the issuance of the Convertible Debentures. The Dawson Warrants are exercisable after May 10, 2022 at the exercise price of $1.25 per share of common stock and have a 5-year term. The Dawson Warrants were accounted for as equity under ASC 815 – Derivatives and Hedging, and the grant date fair value was estimated to be $166,816 using Black-Scholes option pricing model and is included in issuance costs related to the Convertible Debentures.

The Company recognized $266,193 of amortization of the discount during the year ended December 31, 2021, which was included within interest income (expense) in the consolidated statement of operations. The remaining $463,465 of unamortized discount was credited to the capital accounts at the time of conversion.
