Stockholders’ Equity | 7. Stockholders’ Equity Class A Common Stock RSUs are taxable upon vesting based on the market value on the date of vesting. The Company is required to make mandatory tax withholding for the payment and satisfaction of income tax, social security tax, payroll tax, or payment on account of other tax related to withholding obligations that arise by reason of vesting of an RSU. The taxable income is calculated by multiplying the number of vested RSUs for each individual by the closing share price as of the vesting date and a tax liability is calculated based on each individual’s tax bracket. The shares withheld are available for reissuance pursuant to the Company’s Second Amended and Restated 2021 Incentive Award Plan (the “Equity Plan”). During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 , no stock options were exercised for Class A common stock shares. Class B Common Stock Holders of Class A common stock generally have rights identical to holders of Class B common stock, except that holders of Class A common stock are entitled to one (1) vote per share and holders of Class B common stock are entitled to five (5) votes per share. The holders of Class B common stock may convert each share of Class B common stock into one share of Class A common stock at any time at the holder’s option. Class B common stock is not publicly tradable. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 , stockholders converted 1,555 shares of Class B common stock into 1,555 shares of Class A common stock. During the year ended December 31, 2023 , stockholders converted 3,555 shares of Class B common stock into 3,555 shares of Class A common stock. Warrants Summary of Warrant Issuances As part of the Company’s initial public offering (“IPO”), the underwriter received warrants to purchase up to 10,640 shares of Class A common stock. The warrants are exercisable at any time and from time to time, in whole or in part, during the four and a half-year period commencing August 12, 2021 , at a price of $ 120.00 per share and the fair value of warrants was approximately $ 0.5 million. During 2021, the underwriters assigned 9,576 of the warrants to its employees. As part of the Company’s 2021 private placement offering, the Company issued warrants to investors to purchase up to an aggregate of 116,935 shares of Class A common stock, equal to the number of shares of Class A common stock purchased by such investor in the offering, at an exercise price of $ 175.00 per share , which were immediately exercisable, were set to expire five years from the date of issuance, and had certain downward pricing adjustment mechanisms, subject to a floor, as set forth in greater detail therein (the “Purchaser Warrants”). In addition, the Company granted the underwriters warrants, under similar terms, to purchase 4,679 shares of Class A common stock, at an exercise price of $ 175.00 per share. On August 16, 2023, the Company announced its Stock Rights Offering, which triggered the downward pricing mechanism on the Purchaser Warrants, at which time these warrants were adjusted downward to an exercise price of $ 52.50 for the period remaining through expiration. This resulted in a deemed dividend to common stockholders of approximately $ 0.8 million for the change in the fair value of the warrants using a Black-Scholes pricing model. As part of an October 2023 registered direct offering, the Company issued Series A warrants and Series B warrants to purchase up to 242,425 and 242,425 , respectively, shares of Class A common stock. Each series of warrants had an exercise price of $ 16.50 per share, with the Series A warrants having a term of five and one-half (5.5) years from the date of issuance, and the Series B warrants having a term of eighteen (18) months from the date of issuance. Both the Series A and Series B warrants became exercisable as of December 26, 2023, following stockholder approval. In addition, the Company granted the placement agent warrants, under similar terms, to purchase 16,971 shares of Class A common stock, at an exercise price of $ 20.625 per share. In April 2024, the Series A Warrants and Series B Warrants were amended to reduce the exercise price to $ 2.35 per share . The Series A Warrants and Series B Warrants were subsequently exercised in full in April 2024. As part of a December 2023 registered direct offering, the Company issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 135,531 shares of Class A common stock. These warrants have an exercise price of $ 16.20 per share, became immediately issuable upon issuance, and expire on June 22, 2029. In addition, the Company granted the placement agent warrants, under similar terms, to purchase 9,489 shares of Class A common stock, at an exercise price of $ 21.813 per share. On April 8, 2024, the Company commenced a public offering of up to 639,872 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, along with pre-funded warrants to purchase up to an aggregate 1,572,894 shares of Class A common stock (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”). The shares and Pre-Funded Warrants were sold together with warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 2,212,766 shares of Common Stock (the “Common Warrants”). The combined public offering price was $ 2.35 per share and related Common Warrant and $ 2.349 per Pre-Funded Warrant and related Common Warrant. Subject to certain limitations, the Pre-Funded Warrants were immediately exercisable and could be exercised at a nominal consideration of $ 0.001 per share of Class A common stock at any time until all of the Pre-Funded Warrants were exercised in full. The Common Warrants were immediately exercisable and expire on April 10, 2029 . As compensation to the placement agent the Company also issued to designees of the placement agent warrants to purchase up to 154,894 shares of Class A common stock, which had substantially the same terms as the Common Warrants, and with an exercise price of $ 2.9375 per share and a term of five years from the commencement of sales in the offering. In connection with the offering, the Company also entered into an agreement with a holder of existing warrants to amend the holder’s existing Series A warrants and Series B warrants to reduce the exercise price to $ 2.35 per share and (ii) amend the expiration date of the Series A Warrants to five and one-half ( 5.5 ) years following the closing of the public offering and the Series B warrants to eighteen ( 18 ) months following the closing of the public offering, in each case for a payment to the Company of $ 0.125 per amended warrant. On April 16, 2024, the Company entered into inducement letter agreements with certain holders of its existing Series A warrants and Series B warrants, and Common Warrants issued on April 10, 2024, whereby the holders agreed to exercise the warrants for cash at the exercise price of $ 2.35 per share in consideration for payment of $ 0.125 per new warrant and for the Company’s agreement to issue new unregistered Class A common stock warrants to purchase up to 4,799,488 shares of Class A common stock at an exercise price of $ 2.35 per share, and which were immediately exercisable upon issuance. The warrants to purchase up to 2,399,744 shares of Class A common stock (the “Series C Warrants”) have a term of five ( 5 ) years from the issuance date, and the warrants to purchase up to 2,399,744 shares of Class A common stock (the “Series D Warrants”) have a term of twenty-four ( 24 ) months from the issuance date, with all of the Series C Warrants and Series D Warrants being immediately exercisable. All of the Series D Warrants were exercised in June 2024, pursuant to ordinary course exercise as well as a subsequent inducement transaction. Additionally, the Company issued to the placement agent or its designees as compensation, warrants to purchase up to 167,982 shares of Class A common stock, equal to 7.0 % of the aggregate number of shares of Class A common stock issued upon exercise of the warrants pursuant to the inducement transaction, which had the same terms as the Series C Warrants, except that the placement agent warrants have an exercise price of $ 3.25 per share. Furthermore, upon exercise, if any, of the Series D Warrants for cash, the Company agreed to issue the placement agent or its designees, within five (5) business days of the Company’s receipt of the exercise price, warrants to purchase the number of shares of Class A common stock equal to 7.0 % of the aggregate number of shares underlying such Series D Warrants that have been exercised, with such warrants to be in the same form and terms as the prior placement agent warrants. On June 17, 2024, the Company entered into additional inducement letter agreements with the holders of its existing Series D Warrants to exercise the remaining 1,697,891 shares of Class A common stock underlying Series D Warrants that remained outstanding for cash at the exercise price of $ 2.35 per share in consideration for the Company’s agreement to issue new unregistered Class A common stock warrants (the "June Inducement Warrants"), for payment of $ 0.125 per new warrant, to purchase up to an aggregate of 3,395,782 shares of Class A common stock at an exercise price of $ 2.50 per share and which were immediately exercisable upon issuance and have a term of twenty-four ( 24 ) months from the issuance date.

Upon exercise, if any, of the June Inducement Warrants for cash, the Company agreed to issue within five (5) business days to the placement agent or its designees, warrants to purchase the number of shares of Class A common stock equal to 7.0 % of the aggregate number of shares of Class A common stock underlying such June Inducement Warrants that have been exercised, with such warrants to be in the same form and terms as the June placement agent warrants. The issuance under the inducement offers represented $ 8.5 million in additional value provided to the investors, which was recorded as a deemed dividend to common stockholders. The June Inducement Warrants expire on June 18, 2026 . On July 10, 2024, a holder exercised Series C warrants for 50,000 shares of Class A common stock for cash (the “July Series C warrant exercise”). On July 10, 2024, certain holders of warrants issued in June of 2024 exercised warrants to purchase an aggregate of 150,000 shares of Class A common stock for cash (the “July 10 warrant exercise”).
