Note 9 – Stockholders’ Equity

 

In accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation, the Company is authorized to issue 250,000,000 shares of common stock and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, each shares having a par value of $0.001.

 

Common Stock

 

Reverse Stock Split

 

On August 30, 2024, the Company effected a one-for-fifty (1:50) reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”), pursuant to which each of the Company’s stockholders received one share of the Company’s common stock for every 50 shares of the Company’s common stock that such stockholder held immediately prior to the effective time of the Reverse Stock Split. The Reverse Stock Split affected all of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock equally provided that no fractional shares of common stock were issued as a result of the Reverse Stock Split as fractional shares of common stock were rounded up to the nearest whole share. The Reverse Stock Split also affected the Company’s outstanding stock-based awards, warrants and other exercisable or convertible securities and resulted in the shares of common stock underlying such instruments being reduced and the exercise price or conversion price being increased proportionally by the Reverse Stock Split ratio.

 

In connection with the Reverse Stock Split, the number of shares of common stock authorized for issuance was adjusted from 500,000,000 to 250,000,000, and the par value of $0.0001 per share was not affected. Additionally, the number of issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock was adjusted from 250,816,164 shares to 5,086,985 shares on August 30, 2024, including the issuance of an additional 70,661 shares to those stockholders that would otherwise would have been entitled to a fractional share of common stock as a result of the Reverse Stock Split.

 

April 2024 Purchase Agreement

 

On April 5, 2024, the Company closed a registered direct offering of 666,667 shares of its common stock and warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 666,667 additional shares of common stock, at a combined purchase price of $15.00 per share and accompanying warrant. The Company generated gross proceeds of $10,000 and net proceeds of $9,125, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses.

 

At-The-Market Equity Offering

 

On July 2, 2020, the Company entered into an At-The-Market Sales Agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with BTIG, LLC (“BTIG”), pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell, from time to time, through BTIG, as sales agent and/or principal, shares of its common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $50,000, subject to certain limitations on the amount of common stock that may be offered and sold by the Company set forth in the Sales Agreement. BTIG will be paid a 3% commission on the gross proceeds from each sale. The Company may terminate the Sales Agreement at any time; BTIG may terminate the Sales Agreement in certain limited circumstances. The Company did not sell any shares under the Sales Agreement during the three months ended March 31, 2025. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company sold 4,366 shares of its common stock generating net proceeds of $54. As of March 31, 2025, the Sales Agreement’s available capacity is $44,191.

 

As of the filing of this Form 10-Q, the Company is subject to the General Instruction I.B.6 to Form S-3, known as the “baby shelf rules,” which limit the number of securities it can sell under the Sales Agreement and its registration statement on Form S-3.

 

Preferred Stock

 

On February 13, 2025, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain investors (the “Purchasers”), pursuant to which the Company sold, in a private placement (the “Offering”), an aggregate of 3,300 shares of the Company’s Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Preferred Stock”), initially convertible into up to 5,631,404 shares of the Company’s common stock with a stated value of $1,000 per share (the “Stated Value”), and warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 200% of the shares of Common Stock into which the shares of Preferred Stock are initially convertible, or 11,262,808 shares of Common Stock, for an offering price of $1,000 per share of Preferred Stock and accompanying Warrants in two equal tranches, the second of which closed on April 8, 2025.

 

 

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, on February 13, 2025, the Company issued and sold in an initial closing of the Offering (the “Initial Closing”), 1,650 shares of Preferred Stock, initially convertible into up to 2,815,702 shares of Common Stock, and accompanying Warrants, initially exercisable for up to 5,631,404 shares of Common Stock, for gross proceeds to the Company of $1.65 million. On April 4, 2025, the Company obtained shareholder approval (“Shareholder Approval”) for the issuance of the Preferred Stock and Warrants, as required by the rules and regulations of NYSE American LLC (the “ NYSE”), including Section 713 of the NYSE American Company Guide, and issued and sold, in a second closing of the Offering (the “Second Closing”), an additional 1,650 shares of Preferred Stock, initially convertible into up to 2,815,702 shares of Common Stock, and accompanying Warrants, initially exercisable for up to 5,631,404 shares of Common Stock, for gross proceeds to the Company of $1.65 million.

 

Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company is prohibited, subject to certain exceptions, from issuing, entering into any agreement to issue, or announcing the issuance or proposed issuance of any shares of common stock or common stock equivalents until November 2025.

 

Warrants

 

On April 5, 2024, the Company issued warrants to purchase 666,667 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $17.50 per share.

 

On February 13, 2025, the Company issued the Warrants to purchase 5,631,404 shares of the Company’s common stock under the Purchase Agreement. The exercise price is $0.64 per share and is subject to adjustments in accordance with the terms of the Warrants agreement. The Warrants expire five years from the Shareholder Approval date. The Warrants include anti-dilution protection provisions. The Company determined that the Warrants do not satisfy the conditions to be accounted for as equity instruments as the Warrants are not considered indexed to the Company’s own stock. The Company classified the Warrants as a liability upon issuance. The Warrants are recorded at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss until either exercised or expired. The valuation of the warrants is considered under Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy due to the need to use assumptions in the valuation that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (see Note 5).

 

The Company did not have any warrants outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The following table summarizes the changes in warrants outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2025:

 

    Shares  
Outstanding at December 31, 2024     666,667  
Issued     5,631,404  
Exercised      
Tendered      
Expired      
Outstanding at March 31, 2025     6,298,071  

 

Basic and diluted net loss per common share

 

The Company had two classes of stock outstanding during the three months ended March 31, 2025, common stock and preferred stock, and had only common stock outstanding during the three months ended March 31, 2024. The Company computes net loss per share using the two-class method, as the Series C Preferred Stock participates in distributions with the Company’s common stock. The two-class method of computing net loss per share is an earnings allocation formula that determines net loss for common stock and any participating securities according to dividends declared and participation rights in undistributed earnings.

 

Under the two-class method, basic net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing the net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is computed using the more dilutive of (1) the two-class method or (2) the if-converted method.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, diluted loss per common share is the same as basic loss per common share because, as the Company incurred a net loss during each period presented, the potentially dilutive securities from the assumed exercise of all outstanding stock options, warrants and preferred stock, would have an anti-dilutive effect. The following outstanding shares of potentially dilutive securities were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share because including them would have been anti-dilutive as of March 31, 2025 and 2024:

 

    As of March 31,  
    2025     2024  
Stock options     483,489       920,631  
Convertible preferred stock upon conversion     2,815,702        
Warrants     6,298,071        
Total     9,597,262       920,631
