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, which was included on the consolidated balance sheet in shares liability as of June 30, 2022, as the proceeds were received by the Company in June 2022, prior to issuance of the shares. As of 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.
