Note 9: Common Stock and Warrants
Registered Direct Offering of Common Stock and Warrants
On June 16, 2024, the Company sold, in a registered direct offering (“Registered Offering”) an aggregate of (i) 3,175,000 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock and (ii) prefunded warrants (“2024 Prefunded Warrants”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 725,000 shares of Class A Common Stock. The public offering price for each share of Class A Common Stock was $3.40, and the public offering price for each 2024 Prefunded Warrant was $3.399, for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $13.3 million, before deducting offering expenses. The 2024 Prefunded Warrants have an exercise price of $0.001 per share of Class A Common Stock, are exercisable immediately and will expire when exercised in full. The Company incurred transaction fees, including commissions and legal fees, of approximately $1.4 million in connection with the Registered Offering, of which $1.1 million were allocated to the issuance of the common stock.
Private Placement of Common Stock and Warrants
On September 21, 2023, the Company sold, in a private offering (“Private Offering”) an aggregate of (i) 6,852,811 units (“Common Units”) each comprised of (a) one share of the Company’s Class A common stock and (b) a warrant (“Common Warrant”) to purchase one and one half shares of Class A Common Stock, and (ii) 503,058 units (the “Prefunded Units”), each comprised of (a) a prefunded warrant (“2023 Prefunded Warrant”) to purchase one share of Class A Common Stock, and (b) a Common Warrant. The Common Units were sold at a purchase price of $1.4275 per unit, and the Prefunded Units were sold at a purchase price of $1.4265 per unit, for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $10.5 million, before deducting offering expenses. Each Common Warrant was exercisable until July 31, 2024, the date which was 30 trading days after the clearance by the FDA of the Company’s EluPro product, at an exercise price per share of $1.4275. As discussed below, all Common Warrants were exercised before they expired. Each 2023 Prefunded Warrant is exercisable at any time at a nominal exercise price per share of $0.001 (with the remainder of the exercise price per share of Class A Common Stock having been prefunded to the Company). The Company incurred transaction fees, including commissions and legal fees, of approximately $1.1 million in connection with the Private Offering, of which $0.4 million ($0.2 million as of September 30, 2023) were allocated to the issuance of the common stock.
See below for discussion of the accounting for the warrants and the allocation of the remainder of the transaction fees from both the Registered Offering and Private Offering.
Warrant Liabilities
The Company has concluded that the 2024 Prefunded Warrants from the Registered Offering and the Common Warrants and the 2023 Prefunded Warrants from the Private Offering do not meet the equity contract scope exception under ASC 815-40 as in the event of a (i) fundamental transaction such as a merger and (ii) failure to timely deliver warrant shares upon exercise, certain provisions of which may require the Company to adjust the settlement value in a manner that is not consistent with a fixed-for-fixed option pricing model.
As a result, with respect to the 2024 Prefunded Warrants, the Company allocated $2.5 million of the gross proceeds from the Registered Offering to such warrants based on their fair value. Similarly, with respect to the Common Warrants and 2023 Prefunded Warrants, the Company allocated $8.6 million of the gross proceeds from the Private Offering to such warrants based on their fair value. Additionally, the Company allocated a portion of the transaction fees from both the Registered Offering and the Private Offering to the respective warrants and recognized the expense within other expense (income), net. Such expenses totaled $0.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and $0.8 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. No such expenses were incurred in the three months ended September 30, 2024.
