Warrants | 6. Warrants In connection with the March 16, 2015 private placement of 1,575,758 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price per share of $ 8.25 , the Company issued an aggregate of warrants to purchase 393,939 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $ 10.75 per share to the purchasers of the common stock. In addition, the Company issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 94,545 shares of common stock to the placement agents. These warrants expire in March 2020 and contain certain provisions that contain a contingent cash payment of $ 2.5 million in liquidated damages to the holders of the warrants in the event the Company fails to take such action to either (i) increase the number of shares of Common Stock the Company is authorized to issue or (ii) effect a reverse split of the Common Stock, in either event sufficient to permit the exercise in full of the Warrants in accordance with their terms. Due to these provisions, the Company accounted for these warrants as liability instruments (see f ootnote 12). The Company measured the fair value of these warrants on March 16, 2015 and recorded an initial warrant liability of $ 4,210 ,000 , of which $ 3,396,000 represented the initial fair value of the warrants issued to investors and $ 81 4 ,000 as the initial fair value of the warrants issued to the placement agents. The Company recorded other expenses of $ 213,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2015 related to the portion of the initial fair value of the placement agent attributable to the initial fair value of the warrants issued to investors in the quarter. In connection with the December 2013 private placement of 1,440,140 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price per share of $ 12.50 , the Company issued an aggregate of warrants to purchase 86,408 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $ 12.50 per share to the placement agents. These warrants, which expire December 2018, contain provisions that protect holders from a decline in the issue price of the Company’s common stock (“down-round” provision) and contain net settlement provisions. Due to these provisions, the Company accounted for these warrants as liability instruments. As a result of the March 16, 2015 private placement of common stock at a price of $8.25 per share, the “down-round” provision of these warrants resulted in an adjustment to their exercise price to $ 8.25 as of March 16, 2015. In connection with the private placement of Series B, which occurred through two closings on June 26, 2013 and July 15, 2013, the Company issued an aggregate of warrants to purchase 600,804 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $ 7.00 per share. These warrants, which expire in June 2018 and in July 2018 , respectively, contain provisions that protect holders from a decline in the issue price of the Company’s common stock (“down-round” provision) and contain net settlement provisions. Due to these provisions, the Company accounts for these warrants as liability instruments. The Company measured the fair value of these warrants on June 26, 2013 and July 15, 2013 and recorded initial warrant liabilities of $ 4,285,000 and $ 674,000 , respectively, as part of the private placement proceeds and expensed $ 759,000 for warrants issued to the placement agent. On December 22, 2011, in connection with the Biocontrol business combination, the Company issued warrants to purchase up to 27,103 shares of its common stock. These warrants expire in December 2016 and are exercisable at a price of $ 23.00 per share. As the terms of these warrants require that they be settled in registered shares of common stock, the Company accounts for these warrants as liability instruments. The Company estimates the fair values of all warrants accounted for as liability instruments using a Monte Carlo valuation model. From February through May 2013, in connection with the issuance of new convertible promissory notes, the Company issued warrants to purchase up to 140,608 shares of its common stock. These warrants expire February through May 2018 and are exercisable at a price of $ 7.00 per share. The Company classifies these warrants as equity instruments. On April 1, 2015, 52,120 warrants, issued on June 26, 2013, were exercised, resulting in the issuance of 52,120 shares of common stock and $ 630,000 being reclassified from the warrant liability account and into shareholders’ equity, based on the fair value of the warrants on the exercise date. On April 29, 2015, 4,524 warrants, issued on June 26, 2013, were exercised, resulting in the issuance of 4,524 shares of common stock and $ 46,000 was reclassified from the warrant liability account and into shareholders’ equity, based on the fair value of the warrants on the exercise date. On May 8, 2015, the Company, upon approval of more than two-thirds of the holders of the 2013 warrants issued on June 26, 2013, July 15, 2013 and December 23, 2013, amended these warrants to remove certain the “down-round” provisions of these warrants. As a result of this amendment, all outstanding warrants from those issuance dates were reclassified as equity instruments resulting in the reclassification of $ 5,462,000 from the warrant liability to shareholders’ equity, reflecting the fair value of these warrants on the amendment date. The Company re-measured the fair value of the warrant liability and recorded a gain of $4,604,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 , reflecting a decrease in the liability associated with the warrants at their estimated fair value, which totaled $ 3,984,000 as o f June 30, 2015 For the s ix months ended June 30, 2015, the Company recorded a loss of $ 86,000 related to the change in fair value of the warrants for that period. All share amounts of warrants are after giving consideration to the 1-for-50 reverse split of the Company’s common stock which was effective August 7, 2015 (see footnote 12.)
