In January 2020, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of shares of authorized common stock from 25,000,000 to 500,000,000 (without giving effect to the 2020 Reverse Stock Split). On February 11, 2020, the Company effected the 2020 Reverse Stock Split and the number of shares of authorized common stock was reduced to 16,666,667. As of June 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, 4,882,420 and 550,736 shares were issued and outstanding, respectively. In April 2020, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the "April 2020 Purchase Agreement") with certain institutional investors (the "April 2020 Purchasers"), pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell and issue, in a registered direct offering, an aggregate of 1,715,240 of common stock, at a purchase price per share of $1.75 (the "April 2020 Shares"). The April 2020 Shares were offered by the Company pursuant to a shelf registration statement on Form S-3, which was declared effective by SEC on November 14, 2019 (File No. 333-234353) and a prospectus supplement thereunder. Pursuant to the April 2020 Purchase Agreement, in a concurrent private placement, the Company also issued to the April 2020 Purchasers warrants (the "Series C Warrants") to purchase up to 1,715,240 shares of common stock (the "Private Placement" and together with the April 2020 Registered Offering, the "April 2020 Offerings").

The net proceeds to the Company, after deducting Wainwright's placement agent fees and other offering expenses payable by the Company, were approximately $2.6 million. The Company assessed whether the Series C Warrants, and the Wainwright April 2020 Placement Agent Warrants required accounting as derivatives and determined that they were (1) indexed to the Company’s own stock and (2) classified in stockholders’ equity in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging. As such, the Company concluded that the Series C Warrants and the Wainwright April 2020 Placement Agent Warrants meet the scope exception for determining whether the instruments require accounting as derivatives and accordingly are classified in stockholders’ equity. The fair value of the Series C warrants was estimated at $2.1 million, using a Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions: expected volatility of 115.84%, risk free interest rate of 0.40%, expected life of 5.5 years and no dividends. The fair value of the Wainwright April 2020 Placement Agent Warrants was estimated at $128 thousand, using a Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions: expected volatility of 116.14%, risk free interest rate of 0.36%, expected life of 5 years and no dividends.

As such, the Company concluded that the 2020 Series A Warrants, 2020 Series B Warrants and the Wainwright March 2020 Placement Agent Warrants meet the scope exception for determining whether the instruments require accounting as derivatives and accordingly are classified in stockholders’ equity. The fair value of the 2020 Series A warrants and Wainwright March 2020 Placement Agent Warrants was estimated at $3.5 million and $218 thousand, respectively, using a Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions: expected volatility of 115.22%, risk free interest rate of 0.63%, expected life of 5 years and no dividends.

The Company assessed whether the Placement Agent Warrants required accounting as derivatives and determined that they were (1) indexed to the Company’s own stock and (2) classified in stockholders’ equity in accordance with ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging. As such, the Company concluded that the Placement Agent Warrants meet the scope exception for determining whether the instruments require accounting as derivatives and accordingly are classified in stockholders’ equity. The fair value of the Placement Agent Warrants was estimated at $59 thousand using a Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions: expected volatility of 100.82%, risk free interest rate of 1.61%, expected life of 5 years and no dividends.

The Ladenburg Warrant Amendment added a provision to each of the warrants that allowed the Company or a successor entity whose stock is not listed on a trading market to, in connection with a Fundamental Transaction (as such term is defined in the 2018 Warrants) that is not within the Company’s control, purchase the warrant from the holder, at the holder’s option, by paying the same form of consideration in the same proportion that is offered to the holders of the Company’s common stock in connection with the Fundamental Transaction, including cash, stock, any combination thereof and any choice of consideration thereof, in an amount equal to the Black-Scholes Value of the remaining unexercised portion of the Warrant on the consummation date of the Fundamental Transaction. The 2018 Warrants were initially classified as liabilities, as a result of the amendment, the Company reassessed the warrant classification and concluded that the warrants qualified for equity classification.
