11. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

 

Class A Common Stock

 

The Company has authorization to issue and have outstanding at any one time 49,000,000 shares of class A common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Each share of class A common stock entitles its holder to one vote on all matters to be voted on by stockholders generally.

 

See Note 1 and Note 8 above for details regarding the issuance and redemption of shares of the Company’s class A common stock to and from James Chae, the Company’s majority stockholder, in December 2021.

 

In December 2021, the Company received subscriptions for the sale of 670,000 shares of class A common stock to investors for $2.00 per share, for total expected proceeds of $1,340,000. As of March 31, 2022, the Company had received $1,340,000 of the expected proceeds.

 

In September 2022, the Company consummated its initial public offering (the “IPO”) of 2,940,000 shares of its class A common stock at a public offering price of $4.00 per share, generating gross proceeds of $11,760,000. Net proceeds from the IPO was approximately $10.3 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses of approximately $1.5 million.

 

Immediately prior to the IPO, the Company issued 549,100 shares of class A common stock as compensation to directors and consultants. The Company has accrued approximately $1.1 million of compensation expense at December 31, 2021 for the 549,100 shares at $2.00 per share, which the Company’s board of directors determined to reflect the then current fair market value of the Company’s Class A common stock. Upon the issuance of the 549,100 shares, the accrued liability was adjusted to additional paid-in-capital.

 

The Company also granted the underwriters a 45-day option to purchase up to 441,000 additional shares (equal to 15% of the shares of class A common stock sold in the IPO) to cover over-allotments, if any, which the underwriters did not exercise. In addition, the Company issued to the representative of the underwriters warrants to purchase a number of shares of class A common stock equal to 5.0% of the aggregate number of shares of Class A common stock sold in the IPO (including shares of Class A common stock sold upon exercise of the over-allotment option). The representative’s warrants will be exercisable at any time and from time to time, in whole or in part, during the four-and-½-year period commencing six months from the date of commencement of the sales of the shares of Class A common stock in connection with the IPO, at an initial exercise price per share of $5.00 (equal to 125% of the initial public offering price per share of class A common stock). No representative’s warrants have been exercised.
