Series D Preferred Stock

On July 8, 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized 7,000 shares of Series D preferred stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Each preferred share of Series D preferred stock has a stated valued of $1,000 per share, is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial conversion price of $1.30 per share, and is entitled to a dividend of 12% per annum. The cumulative dividends shall be paid in common stock based on the conversion price in effect on the applicable conversion date. All accrued but unpaid dividends on shares of Series D preferred stock shall increase the stated value of such shares. The Company may redeem all, but not less than all, of the Series D preferred stock for cash, at a price per share of Series D preferred stock equal to 125% of the stated value. The Series D preferred stock has no voting rights.

In July 2022, the Company issued 1,058 shares of Series D preferred stock for approximately $1.1 million and as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, 1,058 shares of Series D preferred stock are issued and outstanding.

In connection with the issuance of the 1,058 shares of Series D preferred stock, the Company issued 814,102 equity-classified warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock with an exercise price of $1.30 per share. The proceeds from the Series D preferred stock were allocated between the warrants and the Series D preferred stock based on their relative fair values.

The Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (“RRA”) with the holders of the Series D preferred stock, whereby the Company was to use its best efforts to file a registration statement registering the resale of the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series D preferred stock and upon exercise of the warrants within thirty (30) calendar days following the closing of the Series D preferred stock offering. The Company was to use its best efforts to have the registration statement declared “effective” within ninety (90) calendar days from closing, or one hundred and twenty (120) from closing in the event the registration statement is reviewed by the SEC. If the Company fails to meet these requirements, the RRA states that the Company shall pay to each holder an amount in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to the product of 1.0% multiplied by the aggregate subscription amount paid by such holder pursuant to the purchase agreement, up to an aggregate of 10% of the aggregate subscription amount paid by such holder pursuant to the purchase agreement for all such liquidated damages.

Using the guidance provided by ASC 825-20 Financial Instruments, the Company determined that the RRA should be accounted for as a separate unit of account from the Series D preferred stock. Accordingly, under ASC 825-20, a financial instrument that is both within the scope of ASC 825-20 and subject to a registration payment arrangement shall be recognized and measured in accordance with ASC 825-20 without regard to the contingent obligation to transfer consideration pursuant to the registration payment arrangement.

The RRA called for the Company to file a registration statement by August 25, 2022 and declare it effective within 90 days of July 26, 2022. The Company filed its registration statement on November 17, 2022, and the holders of the Series D preferred stock waived the related registration rights penalty of approximately $2,400.

The Series D preferred stock and warrants sold were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or the securities laws of any state and were offered and sold in reliance on the exemption from registration afforded by Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act and Regulation D promulgated thereunder and corresponding provisions of state securities laws, which exempt transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering. The holders of Series D preferred stock are “accredited investors” as such term is defined in Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company filed the first amendment to its Series D preferred stock, which modifies the conversion price of the Series D preferred stock from $1.30 to $0.50 per share. The modification increased the fair value of the Series D preferred stock by approximately $6,000, which the Company recorded as a deemed dividend.

Series E Preferred Stock

On February 1, 2023, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized 77,000 shares of Series E preferred stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share, in connection with its 2023 Line of Credit. Each share of Series E Preferred Stock is convertible into 1,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at the option of the holders. The holders of the Series E preferred stock shall receive dividends on an as converted basis together with the holders of the Company’ common stock. The Series E preferred stock has no voting rights and does not have a preference upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company.

Holders of Series E preferred stock are prohibited from converting shares of Series E preferred stock into shares of common stock if, as a result of such conversion, such holder, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own more than a specified percentage (to be initially set at 4.99% and thereafter adjusted by the holder to a number between 4.99% and 9.99%) of the total number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion. In addition, in the event a conversion of Series E preferred stock would result in the holder owning more than 19.99% of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock, the number of shares of common stock that may be issued upon such conversion of Series E preferred stock, shall be limited to 19.99% of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock on that date, unless stockholder approval is obtained by the Company to issue a number of shares of common stock exceeding the limit.

On February 2, 2023, in connection with its Line of Credit, the Company issued 5,000 shares of Series E Preferred Stock as a commitment fee with a fair value of $1.45 million. In addition, the Company agreed to issue an additional 5,000 shares of Series E preferred stock on both the first and second anniversary date of the Line of Credit, or 10,000 shares on the first anniversary, if the Company does not elect to extend the maturity date of the Line of Credit. The fair value of the additional 10,000 shares of Series E preferred stock on the issuance date totaled $2.9 million. The Company recorded the total fair value of $4.35 million as additional paid-in capital with the offsetting increase to deferred debt issuance costs. The deferred debt issuance costs will be amortized over the term of the Line of Credit.
